Thanks for playing!

Infinity Ward (the makers of the good Call of Duty games) has announced today that the brand new security patch for Modern Warfare 2 is finished and going through internal quality assurance.  This comes as great news especially for PS3 owners (the few that aren’t cheating, that is) who have fallen victim to cheating buttholes for way too long.

The update will address known security issues that have affected online play and will be released for all platforms, though, no release date has been announced yet.

In addition to the security updates, the patch will address “a small geo exploit on the map Fuel, which players exploited in order to get inside a rock on the outskirts of the map.”

If you’re one of the many, many people out there patiently waiting for November 9^th and Call of Duty: Black Ops, you may want to take a look at this video featuring every single Kill Streak to be found in the full game.

P.S. Treyarch probably doesn’t want you to see this, hence the title, “10 different ways to cook pasta.”

Did that hold you over?  Me neither.  But some of the options looked pretty awesome, huh?  What looks the most deadly to you?

Players will thrive in the shadows with the new analog stick adapter

October 26, 2010 – ATLANTA – KontrolFreek (www.kontrolfreek.com), makers of the highly popular FPS Freek™, Speed Freek™, FPS Freek Legendary and other analog stick adapters, announced today they are introducing a limited edition FPS Freek Prestige model to celebrate the November release of Call of Duty: Black Ops from developer Treyarch. The FPS Freek is well received among professional, hardcore and casual gamers and has been proven to increase range of motion, reduce thumb fatigue and improve accuracy. It is especially popular among players of the acclaimed Call of Duty (COD) franchise and many competitive gamers simply will not play without them.

The FPS Freek Prestige features a sleek all black profile with a laser-etched military-themed insignia design inside of a concave thumb rest, allowing for enhanced control and precision. Available in limited quantities this holiday season, the FPS Freek Prestige is available immediately for pre-order here: Order FPS Freek Prestige.

The FPS Freek Prestige works on both Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 controllers and by lengthening the controller’s analog sticks, it allows for 40 percent greater leverage and range of motion, giving users the opportunity to hit targets much faster and more accurately. The increased leverage also offers better control and less exertion – adding more comfort to long gaming sessions.

These performance benefits work hand-in-hand with the new, high-stakes wager matches that give COD players a chance to gamble points and become the top players in a match. Since these matches are based on how adept a player is at wielding a variety of weapons and defeating their opponents, the FPS Freek Prestige gives users an advantage over their opponents allowing them to win more points that can be used to purchase highly coveted contracts, initiate player customizations and acquire better weapons. Napalm strikes, remote controlled car bombs and operational helicopters will all also be earned more easily with the FPS Freek Prestige in place.

“The reception of our FPS adapters have been extremely positive, and the FPS Freek Prestige follows in the tradition of giving players a means to play longer, react faster and aim more accurately,” said Ashish Mistry, KontrolFreek president and CEO. “COD: Black Ops is indeed a highly anticipated title and we are thrilled to deliver a product specially designed for COD fans, who have been great supporters of KontrolFreek products.”

Last night was a long one.  With energy drinks and the Halo: Reach Beta fueling my frenzy, I went long in to the night and awoke this morning to swollen eyes and a strong urge to remove them from my face.  But, having the opportunity to play in the biggest public beta ever is totally worth the pain, right?  I mean, this is something we’ll probably tell our grandchildren about (immediately before they laugh at us for the primitive games we used to play).  Ah, kids… I really don’t care for them.

My early impressions of the beta are pretty good.  That old, familiar gameplay is back and probably tighter than ever.  The new weapons seem fairly balanced and are mostly fun to use.  And playing with the new Armor Abilities has proven entertaining, too; although it’s pretty annoying when the guy you were about to kill drops to his knees and encases himself in glow-y-ness.  It just seems a bit cheap to me.  But I’ll still use it from time-to-time—especially when I see someone else do it—so that we can both be crouched there glowing and not shooting at each other.

My only major complaint during my marathon Reach session was the lack of gametypes and maps.  I seemed to always be doing the same thing over-and-over again.  So I did some research for about 10-seconds and found a statement from Bungie over at the official Halo: Reach Beta site that I will now share with you:

“… [We] will be releasing the maps and gametypes on different dates throughout the duration of the beta test, with only a subset of them being available immediately on May 3rd.

The good news is that once a map or gametype is released, it will remain available through the end of the beta even as other gametypes become available. Below is the schedule of release:

• Grab Bag – May 3
• FFA – May 3
• Arena – May 3
• Invasion – May 7
• Network Test 1/Generator Defense – May 14”

Yay!  So, be patient and enjoy the short time that you and the Reach Beta have together.  See you all later tonight—I’ll be the one stabbing you in the back.
