I just cant take the comments about when people tell me to play the game more if I want to unlock stuff. Jesus Christ, are you aware that if you have spent 10+ days playing Black Ops since it came out (I highly doubt you have played for 10+ days, but people have) you can do some simple math add about 3 days in lobbies/parties and the game has been out for about 60 days, plus adding in how you have to sleep, that is about 1/3 of your time spent playing Black Ops. I do have a problem with that because that is not just playing the game, in order to beat the game, you have to DEDICATE yourself to it. I don't like that.
Your comment wasn't that extreme, but it was in that direction and felt like commenting on it. I have about 3 days total on the game, had it since the release. I understand what you mean by not wanting to play forever to unlock stuff. I just DO NOT like it when people tell me what to do in life, and they think video games are bad. I especially hate it when they tell me to go outside or play a sport. It's just like honestly, I don't judge you, so back the **** away from me. If I really wanted to, I could say shit to you, but I don't. I'm a really passive guy, I don't care what you are, your race, your sexuality, your religion, so don't judge me. I play games, bottom line.
In my family, they had a camping trip, all guys, (around 7-8 people). I told them I didn't feel like going, and EVERYBODY has been thinking of me differently. They think I'm addicted. They think it's a bad thing. My uncle has a GF with a son (2 years old atm), and he openly says he will never let him play a videogame. He doesn't want him to touch that,"crap". Whenever he brings videogames up around me, he is a complete douche about it, and acts like they're bad. And that's what pisses me off.
Sorry for the essay about my life, but I just feel like expressing my opinion on this subject.
