Yeah, I really regret buying the 2nd map pack. I said I wouldn't buy the 1st one, said I wouldn't buy the 2nd one, and I went on a playing binge right after I bought each one, then I stopped playing, period. I think Treyarch is under the same company (?) but I hope not.... don't wanna pay $15 for a few maps twice again. If they add maps, they should at least add new content. Would be a bigger draw, and be more worth it.

Heh, I've wanted to get back into PC FPS for a while now. My friends all play 360 now, and unfortunately (only cause I don't have a PS3 yet) some are into PS3 now. My computer is a 
though, I run SC2 on all the lowest settings except for models, textures (medium) and use 3D portraits.... and it still lags when there are a lot of units on screen.
I have a real simple fix to the whole commando and lightweight BS. Just add a slight delay for the melee, like in Battlefield.... it's already stupid that you can kill someone with just one knife swing, and it makes it even worse when you can insta-kill anyone that surprises you.

COME AT ME BRO!
There is 3 or 4 new multiplayer modes. There is now going to be a currency system where you can bet money on each match, which in turn you use to buy items for your weapons. The top 3 spots finish in the money. There is also one mode where you start off with one weapon and once you get a kill with that weapon you move up to the next one. If you die you go back one level. The first person to get a kill with every weapon wins. The 3rd is called "sticks and stones" Where you use Crossbows with exploding tips, tomahawks, and ballistic knives. the other is each player starts with a knife and a pistol. (the gun only has 1 round) For every kill you get, you earn an extra bullet. I'm guessing the last person alive wins. In this mode you only get 3 lives. This mode is called One in the Chamber. Sounds like its going to be crazy fun. I cant wait to play it!

No stopping power, and no juggernaut!
but they put marathon and ninja in the same tier. boo
Every time I see second chance/last stand it makes me laugh. I wish I had a capture card when I played COD 4, I would have made a last stand deagle sniping montage.

^well, I haven't showered yet today and I'm poor, so I guess I deserve to get it on the 360 
What about steady aim pro? There's already a scout perk that reduces weapon sway when looking through a sniper scope, don't know why they would have one for longer breath.
oh and lol @ Tactical Mask perk. You get night vision goggles... cause it's not like you can up the brightness or anything

It's been reported that Treyarch will disable tactical insertions in FFA. I'm excited, hoping that they're not as lazy as Infinity Ward. They actually give a shit. Also you can cancel a tac insert in your killcam if you want.
It's a good thing, but kind of too bad... booster hunting was fun. Except when they had 2 people boosting and like 3-4 people standing guard with claymores and auto shotties
edit: also, there's a reporting system for boosters/glitchers

In objective game modes, or for the dumb asses that put their tac inserts out in the open, if you get killed near your plant spot, I'm guessing you can just press a button to spawn randomly instead of where some guy is laying there prone, ready to shoot your head off
Also, I hope they don't make the tac insert flare show through walls.... I'd sometimes see red smoke through a wall and I'd run around and plant a claymore there... hehe
basically, like this

I'm still up in the air. Leaning towards buying but I have to see if they fixed multi player. The more I play mw2 the more I realize it sucks.
I'm pretty sure the single player will be awesome though.

The single player campaign will probably be short again.
Anyways, I walked into the store where I had reserved a copy ($10 down) and asked the same employee if they are still NOT doing the midnight launch (cuz that's what she told me the day I reserved it about a month ago), she told me that they got a new district manager and he's making most of the stores do it. I got kinda excited and paid the rest of the balance lol. Tho, somehow I don't think the lines will be as long as the ones in California.

Damn lucky bastard. I gotta stop by my local store and make sure they are doing midnight launch because I want to be able to play Monday already. I know I got MW2 8pm the night before release day already. So want this game already. One of the only games I buy really anymore.

Yeah, I've kind of become a casual gamer now, but this is one game I'm really looking forward to. I bought two games this year, one of which I'm not particularly proud of, but neither of them are for the console and both of them have some incredible variety and replay value. lookin forward to what Treyarch put into the game to keep it interesting.
I just hope it's not broken. Kinda forgot how good COD4 was, gameplay wise. As for anyone who wanted me to play PC, I've come to the sad realization that my PC is a POS and I don't really like playing shooters that have choppy graphics due to crappy hardware. anything below 30 FPS sucks

Damn didn't realize there was extra content on the hardened edition and already pre-ordered the regular one. Now I can't find any place with the Hardened edition and Amazon.com sellers have it marked up to 105.99 which is just stupid.

Wow, I had no idea it was 3D TV compatible. hell, I had no idea that games were 3D TV compatible. Not that I know anyone with one or that I'd get one, but still, that must be pretty cool. Imagine seeing a tomahawk come right at you
