            MW2 was a broken, buggy, terribly balanced pile of garbage. : saunders45

                  It had better guns. That is the only superior thing about mw2 : RetroRedEyeJr

    And that answers it -be interesting for once and tell us what's up with this hate you have towards THQ/KAOS/Homefront is? It's all fine to bag on things but your posts lack a lot of creativity and are filled with vitriol.
    
    Because with this post you've graduated from hobbyist hater to "there has to be a reason behind this" - were you fired from there? Declined an interview? Inform us.
