So does this mean there's a level that involves you taking control of an IRA member? Or do the Red Sox and Bruins get enlisted to take on Iraqi insurgents? I figured those were the only reason DKM got involved in things like this nowadays?

sweetbabyjesus (August 25, 2011)

How many Call of Duty players will actually leave the basement to go to something like this?

kidpomona (August 25, 2011)

A bunch... if they get their parents permission.

eatdogs (August 25, 2011)

i reserved both CODMW:3 and Battlefield 3. i'm honestly more stoked about the latter. i mean, damn, you have to see those trailers for battlefield. they make COD look like a ps2 game...

theTopher (August 25, 2011)

yeah but BF3 runs at 30fps

cod runs at 60fps

it makes a big difference...

BF3 will be the "better" game... mw3 will be the funner game..

TheInebriator (August 25, 2011)

I remember when I didn't know what I was talking about

Make sure you roll over the photo of the cat...punknews is leaving hidden messages

cheesecakemafia (August 25, 2011)

heh nice.

majic (August 25, 2011)

huh?

majic (August 25, 2011)

oh, nevermind. Clever. ha

MexItalian (August 25, 2011)

God I hope its news about the Menzingers.

sketchyjoe (August 25, 2011)

Well played, Punknews, well played.

Hereorthereorwhatever (August 25, 2011)

I want to kill fucking aliens dammit.

IAmJetBlack (August 25, 2011)

Word...looking more forward to Resistance 3 than COD or Battlefield

tom_table (August 25, 2011)

How do they fit this bill, again? Is it because I've gotten progressively less interested in both DKM and CoD as I've gotten older? You'd think having Drowning Pool play Bodies on loop would be a better fit.

jimmynorville (August 25, 2011)

I don't know why, but I thought this comment was really funny.

Kfcmorrisseyftw (August 25, 2011)

We all live in a murderous world as the events of Drowning Pool have shown with the bodies hitting the floor. Though that is nothing compared to what happens at McDonalds and Kentucky Fried S--- everyday.

samthecritic (August 25, 2011)

This may be the finest one yet.

ToddRundgren (August 25, 2011)

Punk bands now celebrate the military industrial complex. I like some FPS. Though, I'm more a fan of the Halo series or any sort of weird sci-fi/dystopian type game as opposed to ones like CoD, I just find this kind of funny.

hashbrowns (August 25, 2011)

Goldeneye > Call of Duty

thismikeisapipebomb (August 25, 2011)

Goldeneye > any FPS ever

jacknife737 (August 25, 2011)

Obviously.

axl09 (August 25, 2011)

ts gotta be the N64 version though. Screw any of the remakes

drbino (August 26, 2011)

No using Oddjob or Moonraker Elite number 2.

bish (August 26, 2011)

excluding counter-strike of course

hashbrowns (August 25, 2011)

and speaking of cats doing goofy things, mine is licking his anus underneath my desk right now.

loki13 (August 25, 2011)

lucky

wentz_equals_death (August 25, 2011)

the cat or the owner?

hashbrowns (August 25, 2011)

the cat.

porphyriax (August 25, 2011)

Dammit, you had every opputunity there to say 'the anus'...and you blew it!

Hashbrowns (August 25, 2011)

Thank you, there's Hansen soda all over my monitor.

MagnetBox (August 25, 2011)

These Call of Duty games always make me think of Propagandhi's "America's Army (Die Jugend Marschiert)"

hashbrowns (August 25, 2011)

did i just say that out louuuuuuuuuuuud?

robbykills (August 29, 2011)

ha, I was going to post the link to that

drunkwithpower (August 25, 2011)

Call of Duty is awesome, Dropkick Murphys are probably really fun to see live now.

idrum2 (August 25, 2011)

I wonder if "Citizen CIA" will be on the set list?

jimmynorville (August 25, 2011)

I imagine that Call of Duty is probably pretty fun to play, but, it seems like its impossible to play it in a manner that doesn't make one look like a douchebag. I mean, even that cat looks like an asshole.

allfornot (August 25, 2011)

It is pretty fun, but 75% of people online have names like Bongrip69420. And you can't even make fun of them, because 9 times out of 10 those dudes are the best players. It's rather frustrating.

porphyriax (August 25, 2011)

made me lol

bouncingcoles (August 25, 2011)

as someone who lives in Boston i must say dropkick murphys are annoying as shit

moistphily (August 25, 2011)

I'm Irish and I agree.

d_boons_ghost (August 26, 2011)

I'm not Irish and I agree.

crackpotdemagogue (August 25, 2011)

Anyone endorsing this militaristic, mindless violent bullshit is a halfwit in my view.

sketchyjoe (August 25, 2011)

The Agnostic Front story was yesterday, dude.

samthecritic (August 25, 2011)

high five

cheesecakemafia (August 26, 2011)

sounds like someone's a nintendo fanboy.

Amoeba (August 26, 2011)

You read my mind...

Super Mario Bros 3 all the way !!!

bongsmcj (August 26, 2011)

anybody remember when dropkick murphys were actually really, really cool?

porphyriax (August 26, 2011)

You mean when they were 20-something oi! punks? yes...but now they are going on 40, of course they're not cool, but you have to give them for respect for still going and making records. Going out in style was pretty great!

lookingforcorpses (August 26, 2011)

Remember when living in Dallas was really, really cool? Nah, me either.

madmaxwell (August 26, 2011)

I do, and to a point they still are. When I saw them last year, they played 6 songs off of do or die, and the punks and skins that were there went fuckin nuts, while all the bro's and douchebags just stood. I love their music , but hate they do shit like this. They gotta put a good solid Oi!/Skinhead record out to lose some fans and gain old ones back

Baronvonfuckyoustien (August 28, 2011)

Back in 2008 at one of their shows with the Bosstones, they sort of acknowledge that Frat boy to Skin Head ratio, and suggested they mingle in the pit. Other than that I do miss their late 90's early 21st century shows.
