    Within seconds of the release of the Call of Duty: Black Ops trailer, webheads everywhere were breaking it down frame by frame. The best ones found so far are linked below.
    Today's featured MW2 vid is JahovasWitniss taking some kids to school with the silenced Vector and killstreaks. Next up, DubbleJord gives us some TDM action on MW2 Crash. Finally, from the PC side of the MW2 house comes some nice F2000 gameplay on Sub Base with Tiffmiester, who proves that it's the player not the weapon.
    After the CoD jump, there's a lot of Halo: Reach video goodness. First impressions from SeaNanners, Muzzafuzza, Anoj, and more. Halo: Reach beta gets a bad rap from DubbleJord, tho. [Note: DubbleJord has privated the video, unfortunately. He made some really good comments about Bungie trying to imitate CoD.] Halo and CoD are apples and oranges. One isn't better or worse than the other; they're different games that demand a different play style. But there's no doubt in my mind that Halo peaked with Halo: Combat Evolved. Each iteration of the franchise has watered down the original goodness while adding eye candy. Just sayin'. Finally, we can enjoy IGN's first Top 10 kills for the Halo: Reach beta. On to the CoD links:
