Okay I got it at midnight and played the 1st 2 levels of Campaign and all I can say is WOW. Story grabs u right away and the mayhem is almost overwhelming. Gonna space out the campaign make it last a while .

MM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than MW2 it is not as fast but still faster than Halo. NO UMP anymore and every weapon takes longer to kill with in TDM haven,t played hardcore yet.

I will now break down some things i did notice.

1. NO COmmando...BUT it seems u dont need it cause everyone has Commando the knife lunge can be Crazy.
2. Weapons it seems that all weapons have neen nerfed...the M16 is almost a 3 shot Centermass. Also the Auto Aim is not as overpowering as MW2 was.
3. the Runners are still there but alot easier to kill as no Ump. MP5 and Uzi the gun now.
4. Camping was kinda there at the begining as people were learning the map but found a room of Guys that all pretty played str8 up and it was Awesome.
5. Chopper is a pain in the Arse as most people do not equip the Bazooka which takes 2 shots to bring it down.
6. Maps are awesome so far till the "nerds" find ways to mess them up with cheap spots. Nuke town is by far the smallest MM map I have ever played and the most fun.

All in all great game. Cant wait to get a group of 6 and some callouts and run TDM.

P.S. so far best thing for me is no SHotgun Secondaries..no more longrange weapons and Shottie camping after getting a KIll.

Well im two levels through the campaign and I must say............explosive crossbow is no joke.  I will add more.

Prestiege emblems for Black ops vid

Ok, so those emblems for the Prestiges look a bit terarded.

I might actually be getting this game. The zombies mode is the only thing that would make me get it though.

Zombies, how goes it for you?

terarded?

hahaha

I like it so far, but the spawn system needs a lot of work, along with the matchmaking system. Trying to get into a game with a party sucks. The spawns also suck. There have been a number of times I have died only to spawn back in front of the person that just killed me so he can kill me again.

Agreed

Overall I like it brings me back to CoD4 days. Only thing that REALLY bothers me is footsteps are super quiet.

ahh yes, we were actually talking about it while playing last night.  Having a gaming headset brings almost no advantage to the game.  For the most part you only hear gun shots.  And i noticed there is not much of a difference between having ninja on or not having it as a perk.

I do like that they are putting effort. Maybe more than 2 map packs would be nice also...
