I love Modern Warfare (1 and 2) but I **** at it.
I love the games, they got great storylines and gameplay (MW2 was a bit over the top and not as well-developed than the first one). I love playing the missions and special ops over and over. I'm pretty good at it, I'm not as good as some people who play the game like 60 hours per week.
Then there's the online.
I simply suck at it. I didn't play much of MW1 online, I must have been something like 15-50, which isn't very good...
Now I started MW2 online, I'm something like 6-40 so far. Everything's going soooo fast, it's very hard to get into the game. I still love it because you can respawn so fast and the action is non-stop.
But what I don't get is that when I played KZ2, my stats were more impressive, I was like 30-20 in my last game I played. The single player was average though. And now I've started Uncharted 2 online, I'm something like 50-50 so far, which is far more acceptable than 6-40.
And there are people who are like level 40, 50 and even 60! I'm level 3, which is like 30 levels less than the next lowest level person in almost every game.
Well, I'll see you on the PSN.

The truth about offensive fouls
You know, that famous block/charge argument.
I'm extremely pissed when NBA commentators are using the "his feet are still moving" or "he's moving" as an argument against a charging foul call.
Fact is, it doesn't matter AT ALL if your feet are moving. In basketball rules, a charge should be called if the contact is initiated by the offensive player and if the defensive player was there before the offensive player, by about a step or a meter.
If the dude is still moving but still fronting the player and about a step ahead of him, receives the contact straight in the chest, it's an offensive foul.
Stop with the crappy and FALSE assessment that "moving feet = blocking foul".
It's not even a question of interpretation or judgment by the referee. It's a FACT.
EDIT : As for a jumping offensive player and a defender in front of him, the main concern is whether the spot where the offensive player will be landing is clear at takeoff.
In other words, if I jump to dunk, but there was a defender between me and the basket BEFORE I jumped, that would be a charge, unless the defender rotates or flails his arms or does something other than just standing up.
But if the defender slides under the offensive jumping player AFTER he jumped, then that's obviously a block because you have to let a jumping player come down on the ground if it was clear when he took off.
So, as you see, there should be at least 10%, if not 20% more offensive fouls in the NBA when those situations occur.
