So they’ll have to explain it without the use of the internet OR English. I recommend something with crayons.

There’s a limit, phuzz. I think it’s already been suitably mocked, and the person who wrote it might be completely lovely.

However, when we’ve mocked such things in the past

One of the things I like most about RPS is that you guys can go and ask questions that a gaming mag might not be able to ask. Can you guys find out who wrote that woeful excuse for English and make fun of them publicly?
After all, they’re marketing types, they deserve it.

I liked the original game… but it only featured about 5 maps :( Got boring, FAST.

I’m suprised you all-ish aren’t that excited about the game.

I thought that the gameplay parts in this developer diary looked pretty cool. The ‘blah blah’ about the game being so incredibly epic is fast forwardable though.

If Infinity Ward made it you’d have to keep returning to the same fires in exactly the same places and put them out again and again untill an arbitrary amount of time had passed or you’d turned the game off.

The bucket chain mini-game sure sounds funnier than watching Ben Affleck having a syringe in his buttock.

Also, I personally killed more Japs in the Pearl Harbor opening mission than died in the war. If developers have to do a Pearl Harbor level it should be an hour of hell and confusion where you don’t even find a gun.

Actually, I like that idea: an hour long mission where you run from objective marker to objective marker trying to find a plane (instead finding a crater) then a ship (which sinks) a carbine (which jams) and finally just a bucket of water. Then two hours of a bucket chain mini-game.

Infinity Ward could pull it off.
