It should be out now even in the countries that lag behind the timeline. I think it's time for spoilers.

1. Someone on your team dies

LOL. "How can we make our shooter series more derivative?" :idea:

Gears of Duty?

IN THE GRIM DARKNESS OF FAR FUTURE, DUTY STILL CALLS

actually that would be pretty awesome.

In all honesty, a proper, realistic Modern Warfare style future space-marines game could be pretty fucking awesome. But they'll probably just boil it down to some master-chief / GoW badass dudes involved in epic drama :/

(http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=276676) Scripts, scripts everywhere

Though that could be done in most "modern" Call of Duty games. Pass the magical line, NPCs move forward and enemies usually drop dead.

Ah, good to see that games journalism sources are just as sensationalist as ever, not actually bothering to investigate things properly.

The Cuba level is just the tutorial mission. They just opted for something more exciting and seamless than the boring and glacial paced "shooting gallery" and "obstacle course" tutorials from past CoDs.

In every other mission the AI partners are absolutely fucking useless. They'll just sit there, they won't cover you, they can't shoot for shit. The player has to do EVERYTHING. Remember the "Ramirez do everything" meme from MW2? Aside from that one mission, Blops is no different.

Enemies will keep endlessly respawning in most missions until you've advanced past an invisible marker or completed some scripted objective.
