Surely Edge can supply an opinion regarding the way the game feels and plays without it having to be a response to a reader 'backlash'? I'm not sure their priority in an editorial is appeasing miffed fans of a genre or franchise.
I've invested in pretty much all of the COD games (bar World at War after the demo annoyed the heck out of me), but Black Ops just hasn't sparked one iota of excitement within me. Call it update or sequel, but I'm failing to see what this can offer me that MW2 didn't. Or maybe I'm missing something?
Incidentally, I am rather excited about the release of NFS Hot Pursuit later this month. But maybe that can offer nothing new over the Burnout Paradise Cops and Robbers DLC....
(Jeez I'm negative)
