Activision sent us this developer diary of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 where the team explains that they learned a lot from the people of the movie industry who worked with them on this futuristic sequel.

I really hate these dev diaries where people from other mediums just go on about video games as if "omg they're an art form, they're legitimate!". We know this, say something substantial.
Writing a movie and a game are totally different things, which is why many novelists or screenwriters on games have failed (e.g. Crysis 2, Lollipop Chainsaw and many more) and only few have succeeded (Paul Dini for Batman, Walt Williams for Spec Ops The Line).
He did the OST from Quake back in the old days.

Tough room you like to preside over there.
Plus they talked about both the similarities and differences between the mediums but there is undoubtedly a great deal of crossover between the two. Both are visual storytelling, one is interactive as opposed to completely passive but we are not talking about the widest fucking gulfs of space and time here.
So yeah, I agree with GangStarr. Looking forward to seeing what they do with this.
No Treyarch game comes close.

You can still win in BLOPS by running around like an idiot with the knife, never shooting a single enemy.
In CoD4 almost everyone could be decent.

Nah just messin', it seems like reviews allot more weight to the multiplayer components, it'd be cool if someone would rank only the campaigns.
