Meh, Call of Duty 4's story provided a few nice twists. Morally ambiguous Brits, a nuclear warhead ACTUALLY goes off, twice, and the Captain is a redshirt, which is unprecedented.

Other than that... mmm... Doom.

Halo. Here are some aliens. Kill them. Here are some parasites. Kill them too. Oh yeah and all the other faceless super soldiers are dead. Have fun.

Left4Dead really isn't supposed to provide a compelling story, it's mostly the gaming that's supposed to kick you in the face

:D

Translation: I have never played Halo or am dumbing down the story deliberately to make it seem like less than it actually is.

How is GRAW unoriginal? I've never seen a Mexican civil war with terrorists in a modern setting before.
I agree, mr/Mrs. Classyplatypus. I challenge you to name one game that featured Mexicans fighting a civil war because the government wanted to sign up for a joint north american security agreement. so the rebels kidnapped the mexican president and the american president and killed the canadian prime minister.

oh, and it has to have come out before the first GRAW game.

Have you even played the game? If so you'll know that it actually has quite an original story, although to fully understand you need to read up on the whole backstory and play all the games too. It also does something that no other alien-shooting game does, as far as I'm aware, and that's to give the aliens a sense of culture, sentience and basically have them as a proper social group, for lack of a better word. It treats them as people rather than just enemies to kill (notable example, is the detail given in describing the homeworld, culture and society of the Elites, or Sangheili, in Halo: The Cole Protocol).

If you've played the games then fair enough. If not, then you have absolutely no right to make a comment on it just for the sake of joining the Hate Wagon.

I probably should have just said GRAW 2, that's really what I meant, the story is basically they have nukes, now kill them
