I myself *LOVE* recreations of how the enemies of the United States are dying--preferably in great agony. COD4 is now a must-buy for me. Chacun a son gout. “I’m generally quite uncomfortable with deriving entertainment from a recreation of how people are dying /right now/…”

Personally for me, the best part of the game was the sniper mission. I usually hate stealth stuff, but that whole sequence was awesome beyond words. My only complaint was the shot itself, when it came. Not only did I put that bullet right through the guy's head, it went on to hit another guy standing behind him in the chest. That was a headshot, dammit, not an arm-shot. There are several parts in CoD4 where they pull this interactive-cutscene thing. It really does add a huge amount to the impact of the scene, to be honest. I don't know why we haven't seen it more - the only other instance I can recall of it is the final part of Shadow of the Colossus. Has it been done by anyone else?
