I've tried to consider some kind of devil's advocate post to the one you'll find here, some ironclad defense of Quick Time Events as a whole that could neatly justify their existence. Some shield of reason that might otherwise protect this go-to mechanic from—what is for me—what is becoming a ceaseless tide... well not rage, but frustration. For a while now, I been been somewhere in the continuum between "bored with" and "resigned to" the idea of QTEs pervading lazy and slapdash game experiences, but I think the last straw, the one that put me in the "fed up" zone was encountering it in a game that I liked, that otherwise had the mechanical and technical chops to keep me engaged.

It felt like the game in question stumbled or perhaps even lurched across the finish line, like one of those runners whose nervous systems go haywire at the end of a marathon. Not to sound overly-dramatic, but increasingly, when I encounter a QTE, it feels like not only a poorly-articulated piece of game design, but also a break in the contract established up to that point between the player and the developer.

Allow me to elaborate.

Careful, there might be a little bit of saucy language in the latest Jonah Hill/Sam Worthington team-up.

Sitting down in front of a "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" multiplayer station during Activision's celebration of all things "Call of Duty" this weekend, I prepared myself for what would surely be – well, another "Call of Duty" game. And, as it turns out, "Modern Warfare 3" multiplayer doesn't really break the mold much, but the changes made are more than enough to draw you right back to into the fray.

Another "Call of Duty" game is upon us, and just like every other release in the franchise, you might be wondering about about your gear loadout. Well, wonder no more. We've put in the hard work and provided a list of all the equipment that was available during last night's "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" multiplayer press event. That means every weapon, every perk, and even all of the strike chains – essentially the new killstreaks – for "Modern Warfare 3."

You may notice that in many ways the level of options have deferred back closer to what "Modern Warfare 2" offered in the way of equipment, as opposed to the crazy customization options provided in "Call of Duty: Black Ops."

Feel free to peruse the list below, because now's your chance to start planning that custom loadout. (Note: This is a work in progress. Many items were lacking a thorough description as of this writing, and weapon attachments were unavailable. We'll update them as the weekend progresses. So check back!)

"Call of Duty XP" is just about to kick off, and it looks like Activision have set up a huge spectacle. There's the real-life recreation of the "Modern Warfare 2" Pit, a paintball course that looks like the famous Scrapyard level, and even musical performances from The Dropkick Murphys and Kanye West. If you were waiting until the last minute to grab some tickets, I unfortunately have some bad news for you: "Call of Duty XP" is now officially sold out.
