Do you mean World at War? It's not called COD5. And what I said is still true, if MW2 is a direct sequel to COD4 (unlike World at War), then I don't know why it's not being called COD5.
Infinity Ward originally wanted to not have "Call of Duty" attached at all, and release it as just Modern Warfare 2, but then activision twisted their arm.

Treyarch and Infinity Ward have been switching off making the games in the series which is why the even numbered ones that Infinity Ward developed (2,4,6) are better than the odd numbered ones that Treyarch developed (3,5).

I can't for the life of me figure out why that's a good idea though.

probably more of a logistical reason than anything else.

one company can start working on their next title while the other is finishing up the current release. it allows for the publisher to pump out more titles on a consistent basis and lowers the risk involved by having experienced resources in two camps that 'can' work in tandem if required (likely paid boatloads of money to do so)

So I just finished Borderlands..... and I'm sad to say I'm really disappointed in the ending. I won't give anything away but it was so lame and really had no connection to the rest of the game it was ridiculous. Other than that and the horrible fast travel system the game was fun. I'm hardly seeing the rpg side of it though.

Now I'll be moving on the Batman: Arkham Asylum, and then Dragon Age: Origins. I'll probably be playing a little Osmos as well.

yeah Borderlands seemed a little rushed in the final zones. the ending is a total WTF as well. as for the rpg side, it's about as deep as any Diablo style game. quests + stats is all you need to call yourself a /rpg now.

Dragon Age is awesome but the combat can be rough. i'm getting seriously roughed up by a corrupted spider queen at the moment. tried a half dozen times tonight.

I get that part.

It just that the Treyarch titles dont match up to the Infinity Ward titles when it comes down to gameplay so they're weakening the brand. I know quite a few people who won't buy a COD game anymore b/c they played COD 3 which when compared to COD 2 was horrible. I would have assumed a company would rather be known for consistent quality.

But then I remember I live in America.

I'm about halfway through Dead Space at this point and it's blowing my mind. The guns keep getting cooler and the villains keep getting scarier.

I'm up to the Destroyer right now but my console has been fucking up lately, the screen will freeze and then pixelate. Pissed me off because it happened right as I was about to kill him. I'm playing as Mordecai and ended up selling all my powerful sniper rifles in favor of ones with an acidic element to help me against the crimson lance enemies.

My guy was Mordecai too. I really only carried one sniper at a time though, and my guy was way over leveled so by the time I got to the ending I already had a 100% chance to ignore shields when using a sniper, so that helped a ton against the crimson lance and even more against the weird guardian things that were hard to get crits on. By the ending I was carrying in my four slots one sniper, one revolver, one combat rifle, and one eridian weapon. I also had a bunch of extra weapons in my backpack.

i played through with Brick. mostly submachine guns, and shotguns. started using combat rifles and rocket launchers more near the end too. had to rely on static weapons to take out the aliens.
