Yep ... it gets worse

Did I say "super soldier" before?  Call this one the "hyper soldier." Or the "pwn star." Or just call him "the game-breaker."

Remember how everybody hated the grenade launcher from MW1? Infinity Ward heard your cries of exasperation, and balanced the sh*t out of it. In MW2, you can select a perk ("danger close") that increases the blast radius and the damage of all your explodey things. That includes your thrown grenades, your noob tube grenades, your claymores (available via yet another perk), and ... AND ... all the explosive ordnance fired out of the aerial vehicle sh*t you "earn" through killstreaks.

But that's not the end of it. No, sir. In the same kit, you can also select a perk called "one man army," which lets you change your class any time - and as often as you like - within a round. The bitch? You can switch to the same class you were just using, and doing so replenishes your claymores and tube grenades. You'll never run out of them.

Watch this guy go 103 and 3 in half a round of domination:



This new kit hasn't come into widespread use yet, but just wait. Among the various gaming news sites I read every day, there have been one or two "WTF?" pieces on Call of Duty: Even More Modern Warfare almost every day this week. Maybe all the sheep will finally start to realize that Infinity Ward's execution has fallen far short of Activision's marketing hype.

Or maybe the lambs will just keep getting slaughtered.
