Great post Corwin. We have knife techniques thrown in the white to black belt curriculum throughout. The short stick is limited to basic twirling, blocking and striking, with maybe one or two *extra* techniques to show how to use one in a different s

I first started playing multiplayer with Rainbow Six Vegas; that got me hooked. R6V, R6V2, COD4, COD:WAW, GRAW2, UFC and so many others have made those games BETTER, and I expect the same from MW2. Different people bring different elements to the g

Good question, Med. I have seen some lady tallying scorecards on the Ultimate Fighter this season, but I don't know if that means anything or not.

Do they have score cards which allow them to tally these various areas for both fighters during a fight and add up a total score to determine who won the round?

I picked up MW2 on the day it was released and played it on regular; took only 4 hours. Definitely a stunning game but I was expecting more and it to be longer. I rushed through it to get online for multiplayer where I think the game really shines;

I agree with Pat. The weapon is to be used as long as it has its advantage of reach, for a bo it's form long to short range (in short range it is also very distructive), if the advantage disapears, go back to the other tactic of empty hands (which pr

I was playing the MW2 campaign but got distracted by the spec ops mode. It's actually pretty cool, I'd liken it to actual training. I couldn've ripped thru the single player campaign in a day or 2 and be left w/ only being able to up the difficulty.
