Years ago, Call of Duty was the King of PC gaming! Many fantastic games, expertly supported, great single player campaigns and endless multiplayer matches.

Nowadays, it's worn off a little but hopefully this next release of Black Ops 3 this Friday will spice things up for the CoD Franchise and reinvigorate it, which it may do seeing that modding & mapping tools are coming back to CoD in 2016. :D


Before all else, I'd like to thank the forum members that have hosted game giveaways in the recent times. It's no wonder why so many feel that TPU has such an amazing community, one of the very best, when we can continually see so many awesome members doing so many great things, and of course this doesn't solely pertain to giveaways. But I'd like to say thanks to @rtwjunkie, @jboydgolfer, @theonedub, @okidna, @Jaffakeik, @erocker, @Norton, and many other on the WCG/F@H teams and those in support of @Kreij who really started this whole giveaway goodness :respect:


Now let's get on with it! :roll:


Requirements: TPU member with 25 posts and 10 Thanks, Steam account, and the desire to check out a CoD release! :rockout:

How to Enter:
Beside saying, "I'm in," please share your thoughts on the practical real-life scenario below:

"If you were a super-solder, what would you do in your spare time to relax and unwind?" :)


Closing Time: Seeing that Black Ops 3 releases on Friday, let's aim to end on Friday at the latest, or maybe even perhaps a night early ;)

Drawing: Random drawing via [B]Ford's[/B] Giveaway Manager :pimp:



That's it ya'll :peace: :peace:

Would be nice to check out if BO3 would be good. I'm thinking it will be kind of like Advanced Warfare, but maybe better because of the old school zombies thing.

If I were a super soldier, to relax and take a load off (NO, bad TPUers!) I would probably boink my girlfriend then have a drink and cigar :D

This I will actually get in on if You'll have Me. kinda makes me feel better about not being able to sleep.
..what i would do in my spare time if I were a Super soldier, (assuming that I'd still be Me, just with Super Soldier capabilities) would likely be what I'm doing now. enjoying the good people on TPU. Or...endlessly scanning online retailers for deals. forgive my lack of imagination...or vision, but im a content guy :)

Haven't played CoD on PC since Black Ops (which I actually enjoyed). I tried the beta and after the new of mods coming to BO3, would love to give it another go.

If I was a Super Soldier relaxing, I would be building big loud engines and shooting targets---sounds kinda redneck, wait am I? :)

OK I'm in.

I would use my off time to study on best nutrient dense foods and make lavish meals.
So with superior nutrition I would own my enemy's even more so.
I would still play fps games in my off time as well.

Wow awesome. I love COD. I am in

If I am a super-soldier, well during spare time I would relax, clean all my gears, and maybe train others to be super-soldier? Kindly lame though :laugh: Well I would just say maybe do some extra jobs like an assassin :peace:

I haven't played a modern CoD title since the first black ops, and before that I haven't played one since WaW. Needless to say I'm not a fan, but I will be running a review of codblops iii next week because it looks like at long last things may have changed. For once, it looks like Treyarch have been allowed to make a game they want to make, and not a game Activision's shareholders want.

Oh, yes please! Even though people bitch over how generic CoD is, I still find it a very amusing cinematic experience. It's the same old shooter, but they always make certain missions super interesting and there is still a lot of material.

If I was super soldier, I'd save kittens from the trees in my spare time :D You need special skills and equipment for that!

Thanks for this great giveaway.

If I was a super soldier I would in my spare time play games, help out people and be a role model teaching many how to be good in character. That is the thing that is lacking most in our youth today.

Goodluck to all
