Believe it or not, yes, it is highly likely that it would be unencrypted.

Damn Lord Bowser, you're right! The only things missing from this game are the pimp zombies, drug dealing zombies, and gangsta rap zombies. Wait, Africans can't be zombies, only their related American stereotypes with dark skin can be.

HAHA! True. If this game gets really bad early reviews, they can simply change a few graphics and turn it into a WW2 zombie game and they will get automatic bank!

They said it was going to be a darker theme this time around, what's darker than zombies ambushing soldiers in a dark jungle? This game is going to own!

So are they dealing with the whole Nazi supernatural theme? That's been done, it's called Castle Wolfenstein.

Are they dealing with the clearing of the concentration camps toward the end of the war? That's dark, but way too political to touch IMO.

Are they going to have missions about the fire bombing of Dresden?

Is there FINALLY going to be a full on Pacific theater campaign that tells the story of the brutality of the Japanese?

There's potential, but they won't touch on the hard subjects from WW2.

If I didn't suck at video editing, I would cut a video of the "THIS IS SPARTA!!!" scene from 300 that mocked this event at Tecmo. Alas, I suck at video editing.

The Persian messenger would be payroll telling the Tecmo employees (AKA Spartans) that they're not getting their OT checks. Let the hilarity ensue...

The funny thing is, this game is much closer to the dialogue between soldiers than any other game I've ever played.

I tire of the "Special Forces" games that put you in the role of a super soldier who is all about the mission. Real soldiers crack wise and have a rather dark sense of humor in stressful situations.

Cole Train should have been voiced over by Morgan Freeman and should have been overly analytical. Maybe a black man's version of Gordon Freeman. You know, the stereotypical black guy who isn't a stereotypical black guy because someone would say, "That black guy in that game is so stereotypical!"

I would love to hear Cole Train talk about inane things like bullet trajectory, blood spatter patterns and the physiological differences between humans and their alien enemies.

I'm pretty sure that more people in the US die every year from stab wounds (which are generally far more dangerous than a gunshot), vehicles and any other means you can think of. Guns in the hands of idiots get more attention than knives in the hands of idiots because the media likes it that way.

I'm sorry, but as an IT professional myself, any system that generates revenue should NEVER be intermittent for a week, much less a day. Especially not a service that is run and hosted by one of the wealthiest and most resource rich companies in the world.

My only thought on the matter is that Xbox had an awesome Christmas showing and it's taken a week or so to get more bandwidth and network laid on for the additional users. Let's be honest, most people who picked up the system are at least checking out their Silver membership, if not a full on gold membership this past week.

You'd think they'd have a hot site that they could switch to. It does suck for new customers in their trial period who just got the console for Christmas.
