I think you'll see that in a religious debate that cuts both ways. There are quite a number of things that would make people believe in some religious being. Enough things to absolutely prove it? Not by a long shot. But there's enough there that you have to at least respect the choice of someone who follows it. Provided they have examined their beliefs, of course. On this matter, until it's proven or disproven, it's really all a matter of agreeing or disagreeing on an opinion, as there are no facts on it. Hopefully one day we will get a definite answer either way. I understand what you were trying to say with that analogy, but as bad as I am with math, I know that there is a definite answer to each equation that can be reached by applying the rules of the formula. With this, none of the pieces are in place. An incomplete equation. To prove or disprove religion, we need science to fill in the blanks.

Dawn of the Dead (2004) - Pretty damn good. It's the closest thing out there to just abandoning story and having all-out zombie carnage. 7/10 Halloween (1978) - I went in expecting an amazing slasher flick. What I got was a decent slasher flick. It's alright, but it was a little slow for me. And really, they use music at the most unnecessary times. 5.5/10

Yep. Now get in line behind all the other free thinking non-conformists. Anyway, I really despise all the people that hate on religion like this. Don't believe in a religion? Hey, it's your choice to decide what makes sense to you. But when you start claiming that other people are "stupid" because of what they believe in, you're just acting like a douche. Now I don't mean all the fanatics that kill people because they think "God wants them to", or the people who just believe in whatever without questioning their beliefs, but the people that really analyze their beliefs and find a religion that works for them, who are you to say they shouldn't? And before you start attacking me for being religious, I don't consider myself to follow or believe in any religion. The problem is the people that believe whatever their parents told them to believe and then try to use that as justification for other world views - e.g., two guys can't get married because God would get mad. That's what I hate about religious people, I don't mind the other stuff. Don't get me wrong, I agree with that, religious beliefs shouldn't govern what rules EVERYONE has to live by.

Granted, you do a super awesome backflip...right off a bridge. I wish I had an army of baboons that followed me around, painfully ripping anyone I don't like to shreds.

As riku said, that's pretty funny. Although he was a Confederate general, even here in the north, I don't think Robert E. Lee is really regarded as a bad guy.

Anyone wants to add me on Xbox, the GT is... iamdamanbaby 1 Hey, when I first got my Xbox I was in a hurry to play Dead Rising and I thought it was a MINIMUM of 15 characters.

I despised God of War, thought it was overhyped crap. This on the other hand, this might be fun. It sounds like something I write down at lunch when I'm bored. So you die after slicing up like a million baddies. The grim reaper comes, but you take his scythe and kick his [wagon] with it while he begs you to stop. You then go to hell, where you hop on a gigantic minotaur. You ride it around and make it breath fire on demons and pick them up and bite their heads off. Epic.

I haven't unlocked them yet, but silencer/RDS seems quite good. if you use silencer you'll NEED stopping power. RDS is terrible on that gun....just ACOG and a different tier 1 perk does fine (bling not needed), as FAL doesnt benefit from stopping power. I haven't made one of these in a while...and people have been [bleep]ing about the 'difficulty' of the campaign.... [hide=Veteran Campaign] S.S.D.D Easy, simple. Doesn't even have a difficulty. My best pit time is like 24sec or something...10 sec short of the record, but I'm not a no-life that times and measures all the double kills. Difficulty (out of 10): N/A Team Player It's fairly easy, flashbangs and nades work just fine. Not too difficult by any measure. Only thing that pissed me off was the random dudes in the classrooms. Difficulty: 2/10 Cliffhanger Again, easy since it's all stealth. Also, after you blow plan B, the firefights are not tough at all. The snowmobile part was easy too, though I did hit some trees going down the big jump :wall: Difficulty: 2/10 No Russian Interesting mission, and actually a pain in the [wagon] once the Russian SWAT arrived. I spent a decent amount of time at that part. Other than that, easy. Difficulty: 3.5/10 Takedown By far one of the toughest missions, if not THE toughest. Militia popping out of windows and alleys and on the rooftops shooting RPGs don't help either. Gave me a really hard time, even with all the cover. Difficulty: 8/10 Wolverines I loved this mission. I marvel at the concept of a full scale invasion by an enemy country on US soil and love the fact that we will kick their [wagon] because it's our home turf. Also, the paratroopers dropping in, and the whole atmosphere of the setting/plot there was just very gripping. Not a hard mission, though running between the diner and Nate's and Burger Town and shooting down the choppers and etc. did get a little tedious, but nothing too difficult. Difficulty: 4/10 The Hornet's Nest I thought this mission was fun as well. Fighting through Militia with TF 141 at your side is always fun. Also, it wasn't just me. The only difficult parts were the beginning with the Militia shooting from practically all sides and the market. Other than that, easy. Side note: I LOVE Nikolai. He is da [cabbage]. Difficulty: 5.25/10 Exodus This mission was alright, just a little boring in my mind. Sure running next to Honey Badger was fun and lasing targets never got old, but I felt as if the enemy resistance wasn't that great. The only hard part was the checkpoint where if you didn't push up, they had infinite spawns. Difficulty: 4/10 The Only Easy Day... Was Yesterday Not a fan, to be brutally honest. I thought this mission would be a lot more fun and challenging. The only hard part was the smoke screen part. That's about it. Difficulty: 4/10 The Gulag Tough at some points, but not overwhelming. Hardest parts are definitely when you're in the armory and when you run through the showers. Difficulty: 5/10 Of Their Own Accord By far the BEST mission in the game. Fighting in a burning capitol is just awe inspiring. And this mission was moderately difficult, though I felt that Whiskey Hotel was tougher. Hardest part was probably the entire capitol building fighting part. You turn a corner and enemies are right there waiting. Difficulty: 6.5/10 Contingency People have said the time limit on this one killed them. I never noticed it. Also, I never ran out of time (though I was killed a few times but I never had to restart at a checkpoint because time ran out). I felt this mission was easy as well. Only hard part was in the snow-covered village where your Predator gets shot down by SAM sites. After that, I felt that the base was pretty easy to get through. Difficulty: 4/10 Second Sun Great mission, love the EMP effect. Not too hard, though enemies in the cubicles did annoy me a bit, though bullet penetration easily takes care of that. Difficulty: 3.5/10 Whiskey Hotel I felt this was hard, but not as hard as Takedown. Fighting through a CQB White House is pretty tough when the enemies greatly outnumber you. Difficulty: 5.75/10 Lose Ends The beginning part: easy. Breaching the estate: easy. Protecting the DSM: pain in the [wagon]. It's hard enough that the enemies spawn continously and the DSM takes a [cabbage] load of time to download the files, but to cover like 5 entrances?! That gave me a headache. Took me a good 30-45min to beat this mission. Running down the hill was a little irritating too, but nothing unreasonable. Maybe 6 tries and I got down safely. Difficulty: 6.75/10 The Enemy of My Enemy This mission felt out of place because I don't think all those planes would be lying around in Afghanistan....anyways, was a little tough since it's you against 2 warring factions. Running and covering was my best method, but usually some [wagon] hole comes around and finds you. Was a little frustating, though once I got to the car, it was a piece if cake. Difficulty: 6/10 Just Like Old Times Great mission. Loved it. Was pretty easy too, except for maybe the part where Shadow Co. breaches the wall in the red room and your NV (night vision) sucks [wagon] so you can't really see. Other than that, it wasn't too difficult, though the riot shield part was annoying. Difficulty: 6.5/10 Endgame Love it as well, though the part with the littlebird and you have to weave between rocks pissed me off a bit because I went left when Price said right because I didn't see any cover to the right. After I correctly my mistake, it was a sinch. Killing Shepard was so much fun too. Wasn't really that hard. The chase scene was great though. Difficulty: 4.5/10 Overall Difficulty: 7/10 I felt as if this game's veteran campaign was easier than CoD4's by a longshot. CoD4's missions that were easily tougher than Takedown were One Shot One Kill, Heat, Ultimatum, All In, and No Fighting in the War Room. If I did this for CoD4, the overall difficulty of the veteran campaign would most likely be between 8.5/10 and 9.25/10 [/hide] I'm going to repeat myself again. THE FIREFIGHTS ARE NOT HARD. It's the levels where you can't hang back and pick them off that cause a problem. Also, I have to disagree with most of your ratings. I ran right through The Gulag, but got stuck at the end of The Only Easy Day. Enemy of my enemy was only annoying because checkpoints are few and far between, but for the most part the enemies kill each other off. Takedown was a slow grind, but not too difficult, I'd rate it as more of a 3/10 than an 8. The hardest one, by far, was Loose Ends, not defending the DSM, but running down the hill, surrounded, and with little to no cover. And btw, I'll say it again, CoD4 would not have been nearly as difficult if it didn't have the infinitely respawning enemies. Otherwise I would have easily completed it on Veteran, with the possible exception of Mile High Club. (No Fighting in the War Room had a timelimit too, but not so many enemies, and you get a lot of backup.

Wait, I'm still confused. Blarg. May just be because I just woke up, but is this just for reskins for existing items, or hats that were modded into the game from the scratch?

I'm a little confused, is this for people that have modded aesthetic items?

Online community is thriving on PC, no idea about Xbox. Scavenge is like a fun little finale in versus.

But you get to rescue a gnome from an amusement park infested by zombies! How many other games can make that claim?

Well, let me put it more this way. Think of what I can do, and what we've been at for the past week or so, as my RAM. The rest of the Math I've learned is my stupid Windows 95 hardrive. We'll learn about something for a week, it'll all be fresh in my RAM, a test or quiz comes, and they'll pull a [bleep] move extraordinaire and bring something up from the inaccessible hardrive.

Like I said, the only reason people thought that WaW and MW were harder is because they had infinitely respawning enemies. Still, it seems like everyone thought different levels were easiest and hardest on vet. Weird thing is, when I did my first playthrough, which was on Regular, I could not defend the DSM to save my life, but the hill was easy. It was the other way around on vet.

Thanks for all the advice guys, I appreciate it :thumbup: To answer your question Jeff, I don't think I do. You're just required to learn a language, presumably to keep us off the streets for an extra 42 minutes a day. Someone before said to use a calc, and thats a damn good point that I believe the government is actually considering. Math is obsolete. You need to know basic math, adding, subtracting, dividing, multiplying. After that though, unless you seek special training for a job that will teach you that stuff anyway, all you really need to know is how to string these together into something a calculator can read. Replace Math with that, really. I'm not spending summer in a 90 degree room because I don't know how to do things a calculator can do in the blink of an eye. They say it's because they don't want us getting too dependent on a calculator. Screw that, the only way something like that would be completely unavailable would be in an emergency situation, and in an emergency situation, the last thing I'm going to do is start adding or subtracting. Or signing, for that matter. 10 years ago, when I started school, teachers would say that not everything can be solved by a calc. Well, time goes on, technology advances, I can get my vaccines sucked up my nose now rather than a painful injection, and they have calculators for everything.

You're right, it is still funny as hell :thumbsup: And I kind of agree, defense can be really fun.

Lol. I believe the part you edited out makes the lol invalid. Anyway, HQ was a big thing in MW, but isn't Demolition kind of better? It's a simple objective, more xp, pad your kdr, and stuff like that. HQ would be alright, but you're 110% more likely to make friends with a grenade.

Alright, here's the deal. I do AMAZINGLY in pretty much everything at school, but the two things I fall flat in are ASL (American Sign Language), and Math. It's always been this way, and it's really ruining everything. At first I didn't know how I could be doing so good in everything BUT those two things. But I think I figured it out: Both of these things are based on memorization. ASL you memorize the signs and grammar, Math you memorize a few dozen different formulas and rules at the same time. I have absolutely no ability to memorize. Anything. Ever. Tried increased studying and going to extra help, but no good, I just cannot memorize, no matter what extra things or tricks I try. Then I thought, but why am I good at English? Isn't that memorization too? Well English, firstly it's my native language, I was raised with it from the beginning. Second, all we do is read books. I can remember the plot of a story, provided it's interesting. ASL and Math aren't interesting. So the question I'm asking is, is there any way out of these classes? I'm pretty convinced by this point that I literally cannot learn it, and though what they think they're teaching wouldn't really help me if I was able to learn it, it can certainly do alot of damage to my grades if I don't. And I don't think marching into the dean's office and saying "I want out because I can't" is something that would go over well. Like I said, I've tried to just get through it, but it's all memorization, and no matter how much extra time I put in, no matter what new tricks I try, I just can't learn it.

Too much.

It took me 1 night to beat it on veteran. It really isn't that hard. It's incredibly difficult! You know what the thing is? I was expecting that the largest firefights would be the hardest parts. But thats not it at all. Staying back and picking them off is a winning strategy most of the time. It's the levels that take that ability away from you. For example, everyone says Favela is the hardest on Veteran. Was one of the easiest for me. I'm having a much tougher time with Contingency, because of the time limit. People say that Wolverines! gave them some trouble. I didn't die once. Took me longer to beat Loose Ends, because you have to run down an infested hill, taking fire from all directions, little cover, and stopping to heal/rest all the way. I'm not saying its not doable, it's just really pissing me off how frustrating it is. The only reason it was tougher in CoD4 is because it has the infinite respawn problem. I was able to beat most of that, but it took 10x longer. Going to finish Enemy of My Enemy, enjoy my achievablez, and play some TF2. Edit 3: Completed. On reflection, the game itself isn't hard, it's just the few select levels that really grind my gears.

Not easy at all. I've died about 30 times trying to leave the house on Loose Ends. Which again brings to mind, is it too much to ask for a god damned quicksave!?!?
