Misleading sentence

"More than 10 million Call of Duty: World at War videos have been viewed on GameTrailers.com, the site said today."

I know it's not much of a big deal, but when i first read that, I was impressed... until I found out what it really meant. For those who don't have a good comprehension of English, the sentence is worded incorrectly, and is implying that there are more than 10 million videos of WaW that have been viewed on GameTrailers.com, when it really means that WaW videos have been viewed 10 million times. It gave me a bit of a shock, and it's a quite a big mess up if you ask me, so I decided to post it :s.

Same, I had to read it twice to see where the sentence was wrong. Reading it sounds wrong, but I don't think it is technically wrong.

But I think Treyarch did UO again. And that was very good.

true, but at that point I think they were Grey Matter Studios and probably had a lot different staff and administration.

I enjoyed UO a lot. Mostly because the maps were created for tanks unlike as it is now in CoD5.

Tanks were fun at the start, but then we disabled them and only enabled jeeps. Jeeps pwned!
