I'm going to go to one of those midnight launches and just stand there loudly berating people for buying this.

"DON'T YOU SEE THIS GAME'S SINGLE PLAYER IS MEDIOCRE AND THAT MULTIPLAYER IS ACTUALLY BORING. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE. NO. DON'T DO IT."

Ouch! Dead Man Walking!  :lol: :lol:
No! Please! Not that! Not-- THE SCORPIONS!

Got this yesterday! So far its much of a muchness. Just played FFA and single player so far.

Its as good as other COD but not different. Still enjoy it though.

Need to learn maps and get better guns then I'll enjoy it a lot more.
Hmm, just pretend I wrote something witty eh?

gave this a burl Multiplayer last night and was back on BF3 within an hour, just like the last couple and just not for me (too damn fast).  Still my mates GFs son loves the last few he isn't going to find any problems with it.  I'm not really into single player so cant comment on that side of things but I will say Multiplayer just seems like one big map pack to MW2 (not even Black ops looks like they've taken out some of the features added to that one).
Its still gonna sell Tens of Millions lets not kid ouselves, i think its already largest selling game this year just on pre-sales but maybe Activsion have flogged this horse to death and might find it hard to do the same again next year.  They should really try to get a new engine in for the next one but that'll take a couple of years and we all know how Activsion like there yearly updates.

I do find COD enjoyable online and this is no exception. It's a different beast to Battlefield. But yeh, they really really need to get a newer engine for the next one. This one looks very tired and outdated graphically next to BF3. Or Crysis 2. Or Rage....you get the idea.  :)

I don't really get the MW games and preferred the contemporary Medal of Honor remake that came out a few years ago, but this is great fun and I'm even replaying it on the masochistic 'Veteran' difficulty that makes most firefights about you keeping your head down and hoping an NPC takes the initiative.  Fantastic setpieces and far too short and easy, but I still prefer it over the more humdrum BF3 that others have mentioned, which I feel goes too far to be gritty or realistic or something and forgets to put some game mechanics in there to make things enjoyable - like that firefight on the motorway where you don't know what you're supposed to be shooting at and then a building falls over.  MW3 has some large-scale battles but always makes your objectives clear.  The shots of war-torn New York are great, too.

Not sure what the point of the bloke filming his daughter and wife get 911ed was all about, though.  Seemed pointless and slowed things down, like that astronaut bit in MW2.

I enjoyed the astronaut segment in Modern Warfare 2 for providing a sense of helpless apocalypse, and integrating player action into the cinematic by having ground control request you perform a camera check that than catches the missile was a neat touch. Still, I did find it quite odd that NASA was quite pleasantly puttering along with its routine and talking about scheduled launches when Washington DC was burning to the ground...!
