       Actually, i have found the two mesh very well.  If you take the 
foreword of BLACK OPS, that what is described in the book happens all the 
time, and has since WWII, just that Joe Blow doesn't know, its perfect.  And 
i have never started characters out in Black Ops.......that doesn;t 
happen...you have to be recuited for exemplory service elswhere, how many 
points does a ME chararacter that has been on 20 long missions have?
       Its possible to do, but i agree, not everyone would enjoy it.
