I actually read your post and seriously struggled to care about any of it. I mean if you ever try and establish what's going on in MW2 it makes no sense whatsoever... 3 people manage to steal a nuclear submarine and launch a nuclear missile from it without a single Russian general or PM having a say? It's stupid, but when you play it it's not stupid it's OMG WTF HE LAUNCHED A NUKE WHATS GONNA HAPPEN NOW? And Reach generally holds up a lot better.   They are attacking the covenant instead of defending in that opening battle because at that moment in time there is just a relatively small force they are trying to crush to prevent them having a safe place for many more to land. Also, you seem to have forgotten that in the Civilian evacuations bit (It's only 1 mission?) it is only you, and you just fell out of the sky without any objective or mission. So no, Noble Team is not the "national guard" or whatever. Anyway I can't be bothered to carry on but you need to pay more attention.

" Funnily enough, it has been Forza 3 and not Halo Reach that has been occupying my disk tray for most of the time, until recently when 2 things happened... first I bought the maps, and they were unbelievably superior to the ones on disk, perhaps even suspiciously so. The second thing that happened was that I played Black Ops, which made me realize how much I liked Halo. It's SO GOOD when you know what's actually going on as opposed to everyone running around mindlessly until they find someone unawares in a miscellaneous room to shoot  or playing sniper hide and seek. Reach is just so much more sophisticated - You can logically PLAN all your actions and use TEAMWORK. Some actual thought went into the design of the maps, but more importantly you always know what the outcome of what you do will be.   The difference can be summed up quite easily - In Reach, instead of deciding to perch on a nice vantage point only to have a bunch of people spawn behind you and stab you in the back (or not), you decide to perch on a nice vantage vantage point and then fight to control it. Slot machines and poker. "

And in Bad Company 2, you can blow up the vantage point.   Enough said, really. "

" Let me know when Forza can come close to what GT does in sales with the hardcore driving crowd"

"  They also have yet to include Super GT "

" @crunchUK: Doesn't matter what you think though, at the end it's the masses and GT5 outsold the top selling Forza game in it's first 12 days.  The public has spoken, they prefer GT5 over the Forza game, and PS3 has the lowest install base too. "

" @NekuSakuraba: Baby you through everything. GT5 is for serious Sim Racers, it really doesn't give two shits for anyone else. Whereas Forza tries to cater for everyone, which is why you can make it arcade as fuck and be able to win everything by playing like you would in NFS. As a game, that is probably a good decision, but a lot of people don't take this into account when they compare them. "

You really have no clue do you? This isn't socialism, it's not even close. If you wanted to class it as anything it would be social conservatism, you know the same people who didn't want rock and roll, violent films, gay marriage, swearing on TV, porn in the newsagents or sex on TV. They people who support these things and fought against the liberalisation of our country were for the most part Conservatives.  "

State control is inherently socialist. I take it you weren't paying much attention during the past 13 years when the socialist Labour government banned smoking, tobacco advertising, handguns, fox hunting, doing anything at all to your home unless the councils lets you, letting you car pool to take kids to school or football games without a CRB check, made the UK the country with the most CCTV on the planet, tried to introduce a nationwide system of ID cards, doubled alcohol duty "to curb the binge drinking problem", added the congestion charge, created the M4 bus lane, created a four THOUSAND page manual for headteachers, banned apple bobbing and replaced face with chopsticks because it "spread germs"... should I go on? It's got nothing to do with liberalism/conservatism, it's authoritarianism/libertarianism.   This internet ban is impossible to implement anyway, it's just an idea that got thrown into the media ballpark to gauge the public reaction.  "

You don't seem to know what the word Socialist or it's use in political terms means, all the things you have mentioned are an increase in state control, nothing exactly new, which can easily occur with a  socialist or conservative government. Also Labour haven't been a socialist party since 1996. "
