@Baillie: Yup. Just the wallpaper. Wish I had changed the topic to read "Black Ops Pre-order Wallpaper. Download link within" or something. Anyway, thanks for helping to clarify things!
@Mrskidders: The nice thing with Amazon, is that I have up until 24 hours before release to cancel the pre-order. I have a group of friends getting it, though, so I'm not really concerned with how the MP is, rather it'll just be fun playing with friends.
Pre-ordering Call of Duty: Black Ops from Amazon gets you a free "excluse" pre-order wallpaper. The link doesn't appear to be encoded in any way, so I thought I'd share with the GB Community:
@css_switchfoot: Excellent point. I also wonder if, maybe, it's not that I can't play them, rather that I don't find them interesting and wouldn't have, even if I had been playing them at launch?
After finding at least 51 Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle caps the player can receive his prize from Festus which is, amusingly, the honor of listening to the real story of how Sunset Sarsaparilla came to be.
Here's the way I described it. The Nookcolor is the bastard child of the iPad and the Kindle. It's a sub-par iPad and an overdone, bloated eReader. It's a Jack of all trades and a master of none.
Personally, I'd still rather have the Kindle. If I'm going to go after an eReader that does "apps" why not just spend the extra money and get one that does it right?
Also, you can still pirate books on the Kindle. It's a lot tougher to do so, but it can be done.
@sammo21: According to the timeline, there was a reactor that almost went critical in New York. That would be a cool setting, if they did it right, but even still this wouldn't work as a pre-war game.
@owl_of_minerva: Having grown up in the Atari 2600 era, those are easy cannon fodder for my distaste, but I'm more so speaking on early-90's era games. You're right. The cookie cutter side scrollers of the 16-bit era are painful to go back and play. I can always go back and play A Link to the Past, or Earthbound, or something like that, but it's tough on some of the less in-depth games.
