  • Live action Black Ops reveals the soldier in all of us

    Update: it turns out that SSG Tran isn't the one assumed. This SSG Tran stopped by the forums to let us know that he's alive and well. He's a retired US Army Staff Sergeant, now working in Hollywood as a military consultant for Dagger Media Group & Sacred Sword. He and others he worked with are in fact avatars and playable characters in the game.

    Every so often a trailer is released that leaves you not just excited about the forthcoming film, game or product, but genuinely impressed with the trailer itself. This Call of Duty: Black Ops live action trailer delivers one of those rare moments, and thrones itself as an instant classic. I might just go ahead and watch it again. Oh, did I mention it features Kobe Bryant?

    Note the names on their weapons;
    • MAMBA
    • SSG TRAN
    • PROUD n00b


    Black Mamba is Kobe Bryant's nick name, SSG (Staff Seargant) Tran was an American soldier who died in combat during 2009, and the person playing PROUD n00b is Jimmy Kimmel who is a shooter fan, featuring Halo on his talk show.

      Tran; I've updated the news article with the info you've provided. Drop me a line if you wanted to do a bit of an interview about your involvement with the game, and the commercial.

      Let me clear it with my boss as to what I can and can't talk about, but at this point, I'm pretty sure everything is fair game since the game gets released in less than 24 hrs.

      BTW, there are photos from the Launch Party last Thursday with Metallica playing up on my website: thomtran.com - comic | actor | writer . Enjoy.

  • CS:GO gets a substantial content update
    by rec
    Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was just updated again, making a number of changes and additions to the game. The default map has been switched from Inferno to Train, which appears to be a far better recreation than Inferno, apart from the fog issue. There are also a bunch of new weapons: the Para, the TEC-9 Pistol, the SG 552 (pictured), and the AUG....

  • Counter-Strike: Global Offensive beta impressions
    by rec
    I've been shooting some face in the CS:GO beta for the first time this evening, and there's quite a bit to talk about. I should preface this impressions article with the note that while I used to play at a national level, it has been years since I've delved into any CS in any serious capacity. I'm sure there will be a number of current day elitists out there who disagree with my opinions, but I'm not claiming this as gospel, so append as much or as little weight to these opinions as you care to....
