  7. This was very well done and a joy to watch!

  8. If you wanna see one about CoD why not make one yourself and add those game?

  9. I don't wanna "see one about CoD". Just asked because CoD is one of the most popular FPS despite all the hate. It's just a question for f… sake. What's with all this hate anyways…

  10. D'oh. I played most of the old ones. Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake, Half life.

  11. They need to play a clip of cod!!!! It is the most popular more fps's then battle field and medal of honor combined!!!

  12. Cod suck BATTLEFIELD FOR THE WIN!

  13. Although I support free "speech" in comments on my posts. Any swearing, cursing, complete off-topic replies etc will be removed. Posting a second post similar to the one I removed the first time will result in a ban and report

  14. +Ethan Fyfe popular doesn't really make it any good but they should have added it somewhere though.

  15. i know that but it is still a fps and should have been added in.

  16. Crysis on the top of the "food chain"
