For instance the comparison of Unreal Tournament and COD:BLOPS. I don't remember UT having a crouch function (though for the sake of this argument, just run with it), but COD:BLOPS has both crouch and prone. For COD:BLOPS, it uses them for intended strategic purposes, but for a fast-paced shooter like UT or even Bulletstorm, do those extra actions serve to add to the game, or are they there just because they're there? Personally I think it depends on the game style you're going for. Brian pointing out the L4D and Halo example shows that the crouch functions had it designed with a strategy element in mind. But for Bulletstorm, especially going through Echo where you're trying to do speed runs, crouching is next to useless (especially when you can slide).
As for the Bulletstorm thing, I don't think he was negative at all, though was just surprised with Billy's flip flopping of Killzone 3 and Bulletstorm. Also if I remember back to the second part of the E3 review, he pointed out that the game quality left a better impression to him than the demo experience since he had an over enthusiastic staff member cheering him on as he was playing it at E3.
Plus there were a few instances where everone was in agreement, and thus ending the topic rather abruptly. Like the episode with just Garnett and Jeff discussing about Valve wanting some control for a potential Half-Life movie.
