Yahtzee's take on Black Ops singleplayer aspects
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/ ... -Black-Ops
I liked the SP a lot but still have to agree on most points.

haha yeah, hes pretty spot on most of his points. Its funny how yatzee doesn't really talk about the games as much now, like mechanics and shit (unless its why he is ranting) but talks more about the bigger picture hehe. I enjoyed playing the SP, but i did have to replay it just to understand what the fuck happened.

Anyone want this server still running?

Coming to renew time and if so, throw us a donation and it'll keep going, if not it'll be going offline on the 9th!

Just take it offline today mate. I never play it anyway.

The two most important people don't play it, so yeah...

I tested out the spawning fix today, and MY GOD the game was playable, and has the same spawning now as COD4 where they all spawn on the opposite side to you most of the time! I'll see if i can get back into this after the move.
