Awards are great, and community praise for your game is even better, but I mean come on…. this one has GOT to take the cake as far as recognition goes!!! According to this newspaper ad which quotes a movie review for the new Rambo film, “Nasty, Call of Duty 4 style shoot em’ up! A beautiful, BRUTAL movie!”. Haha.
Game of the Year award is really humbling and deeply appreciated, but using our game to describe a Rambo movie, HOLY SHIT… that’s right bitches.
It doesn’t get much better than this.

If you’re interested, I found the review here (the site seems to be really slow though):

Haha, very, very, very, nice. I think you guys can put this into the great book of “firsts” (right under smashin Halo 3’s reputation for best XBL game).
;P
See ya in the fields, you know how much i love getting the promotions from killin ya haha.

MrDie, I’m sure you enjoy CoD (as I do as well), but fanboyism is infantile. I’d enjoy the internet alot more if people didn’t constantly whip out their e-peen
CoD and Halo3 are both very different games, and both are top of their genre’s. Despite the fact that they are both online FPS’s, I wouldn’t compare the two any more than I would compare Bioshock to one of them for single player.

The game didn’t deserve any of the Game of the Year awards it received. They just came from insecure Americans desperate to cling to some global hegemony after being laughed at by the world for the last six years.
A generic FPS, with an old scripted game design, on an aging engine with some nice production values is now GOTY material? This industry is in trouble, that would be like calling Transformers movie of the year.

Lol, thats awsome. You guys set the standard for total non-stop action.

So Barry’s an example of people who live outside America? No wonder half the world hates us, when half the world is composed of the mentally disabled, much like Barry.
Foreign faggot.

Wow, first time I’ve seen that! I bet all those old Rambo fans are like, “What the hell is Call of Duty 4? I’ve never seen that movie…oh wait, that’s a videogame…my grandson plays that!” lol

It’s really funny you mention the new Rambo movie. I literally just finished watching it and it kind of did remind me of Call of Duty 4. The movie was quite hilarious too.
“Go home.”
But yeah, thats awesome they’re describing the movie in terms of the game. Maybe Infinity Ward should make a Rambo game?

That is great, now when is the patch coming out for the 360?

Rambo movies were retarded back in the 80’s, and they are even more retarded now that Stallone is a poster-boy for roids and the AARP.
What a joke.

I wouldnt want cod4 and rambo (the new one) located in the same book, let alone the same article. This movie blows, Stallone is 665 yrs old and looks like a bloated old man. CoD4 is sweet and too cool for such a crap-fest movie.

The first Rambo was actually a good, re-watchable movie. But it’s probably closer to GTA than COD4. Maybe Mega Man.

So, does this mean that Rambo is constantly getting his connection interrupted, having his host leave the game, having his headshots never register, and having his awesome knife take 25 swipes to kill someone? Or does this mean that movie goers will have to sit in the lobby for two hours waiting to watch the movie, only to be ushered out just after the credits start, ushered back in again to have the film break, spend 45 minutes in the lobby again, and finally get in to the film, only to realize that the friends they came with either got seated in the one showing Borat, or they left the theater all together? I’m confused…
