Hammy and Clint try to right a wrong (sorry Caitlin) and review a game that was covered all the way back in season 1 in Call of Duty 2: Big Red One. Originally, Hammy was not able to join and Caitlin (aka Treet) had to last minute fill in for a game she played only mere hours prior to recording. Apparently it was a decent fill in because that episode would go one to be our most downloaded single episode in H&S history thanks to the machine that is Call of Duty.....and we've never hear the end of it since. You can check out the original Episode 129 here, but please don't. Hear our take of this Call of Duty classic as well as some other Call of Duty talk including our favorites in the series. Help make this our new most downloaded episode so we can show up Caitlin once and for all!!  Check us out on Twitter (@hamandspamgames) and Facebook (hamandspamgames).
