[edit] Heat of Battle

A mod for call of duty. The article claims this used to be a popular mod, and I do not claim to know the truth of that, but the statement is unsourced. What I do know is that the homepage has an Alexa ranking in the two millions, the mod itself gets very few hits (the over 40,000 hits one gets for "call of duty" AND "heat of battle is misleading because that phrase is commonly used to describe the core game, only the first 30 or so hits deal with the mod, and nearly all of these are just download mirrors), and the article itself reads like advertsing.

• The article itself is less than 3 hours old. I'm not even done creating it and it's been marked for deletion. Upholder 21:31, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
• I note that there are other pages for modifications for various games available such as Point of Existence and Battlefield 1918. I intend for this page to be in a similar vein within the next few days. Upholder 22:14, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
• Also, the google search gives much more relevant results if you do: "Heat of Battle" AND "Call of Duty" AND "mod". Spot checking thru about the 12th page showed a good number of reviews, forum hits, etc in addition to the official website and download mirrors. Upholder 07:32, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

• Question: Hello Upholder. Forum hits and download mirrors are not really relevant, but could you please post links to the reviews so that we could evaluate them? Thanks, --Satori Son 12:54, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
