Will still get it, and will still enjoy it. It may be all set piece & shooting gallery but its still more fun than most of the FPS I've tried. Looking at you crysis 2, you were very disappointing!

I loved COD4, using that sort of pulp spy/action thriller as the basis for the story worked far better than I would have expected. The shift towards Hollywood bombast just leaves me cold.
The campaigns have always been a mix of Price et al going all spec ops and the grunts doing the big battles. Ratcheting the grunt work up to WW3 is fine by me. I don't think I could stand another trudge through downtown non-descript middle eastern city. (cough BF3 cough)
Serious Question - I've always played Cod on the ps3 but is there a "Best" version between the ps3 and 360? Joypad wouldnt matter as I'm happy with either. IS there much of a difference or is the multiplayer better? Help appreciated.
I doubt I'll ever buy a COD game again, but I might rent/borrow this at some stage.
I quite enjoyed the ridiculous bombastic thrills of MW2 and imagine this will be pretty much the same all over again. No substance, but reasonably good fun and with lots of lovely explosions. Will definitely rent if I get to gun down civilian scum again.

Well, you only have to look here for a sample of the PS3 online crowd :D
The problem with CoD and also my anticipated problem with the BF3 single player campaign is where do we go now?
The devs sit there designing a level where...
Cod will be wrote: .A plane hits the street and rotor blades are chopping up cars, sparks are flying and people screaming, smoke obscures your view and rpg's fly over your head a tank bursts thru a wall to your right and you fall to the ground, everything goes hazy and your hearing rings like a struck bell, suddenly your team mate comes into view and grabs your hand and stars pulling you to safety, "We gotta get out of here." he shouts and control returns to your avatar, you fight your way thru waves of idiots and then your path is blocked by an entire building collapsing in a deluge of smoke and rubble, you have to detour and finally end up on a roof, making impossible jumps from building to building, "There's the Choppa." Price shouts as a blackhawk comes into view hovering, exactly like bricks don't, just off from the next rooftop. You run....jump...you are suspended in mid air...time slows....you are not going to make it...like a slap, Prices hand catches you "Lets not hang around." he quips and pulls you to safety, you sit in your seat watching the world go to shit below you, explosions bloom in the dark like time-lapse flowers, then the pilot scream, we have been painted, alarms blare out, the chopper hold flashes red lights and shudders as a AA missile hits, the camera lurches alarmingly around and then silence, you have crashed. After your vision clears and you drag yourself from the wreckage you hear a deep resonant bellow like a ancient dinosaur, it wrenches at your gut with primordial fear, you look around and there plowing down main-street metropolis USA is a fucking aircraft carrier, tarmac peels away from it's prow as it's relentless momentum takes the behemoth straight at you, you try to get your feet but you are too weak, you raise your hand in a pathetic attempt to ward off the inevitable, you close your eyes and await oblivion. But it doesn't come, you open your eyes confused...What's happened? The carrier has stopped...less than 4 inches from your hand. It's almost unbelievable.
But it's not over. Dust falls from the endless metal wall before you. The hull of this giant shrieks and cries out like a wounded animal. Then starts to lift into the air, the screen shakes, you scramble to get away and look up at the impossible sight above you. A green scaly claw is wrapped around the hull of the carrier lifting it effortlessly upwards. You hear a roar, the smoke clears and God-fucking-zilla is holding the aircraft carrier in his reptilian grip he throws it away and it crashes through a building breaking the back of this once feared juggernaut of the sea. A sense of dread fills your entirety as one giant, yellow, reptilian eyes turns it's killer gaze towards your pathetic broken body, this is the end, what hope do you have pitting yourself against such a creature? 'Zillas mouth opens a light starts to twinkle in his maw, the energy builds up, readying to unleash a beam of destructive power at you. Then with a blinding flash of light Godzillas head shoots backwards as if the hand of god herself has slapped him.
Rainbow contrails streak overhead. White hot beams of pure love lash the mighty 'Zilla he reels back in pain, swatting helplessly at the attackers. There is a thud and dust skitters, you look around and a gleaming white unicorn has landed a few feet away. A figure wearing golden camo leaps from the back of this beautiful beast, runs to you and reaches out, "We got you son. Now lets kick some ass." rumbles THE UNICORN MARINE.
The screen fades out, you are presented with a satellite map of Inranstadbananastan a jaunty jingle is heard, designed by psychologists to give the perfect sense of reward as the achievement pops up at the bottom of the screen ' UNICORNS, Fuck Yeh' you quickly spam the xbox guide button to see the achievements criteria...'You completed the introduction on normal difficulty."...
Do devs need to go to film school to learn pacing?

It would appear that yet again one of my suggestions as been acted upon, one of the things available from the Prestige Shop is the ability to keep a custom class when you prestige, woot!!!
I wouldn't waste your time mate. I've had this gathering dust on the shelf for almost a year, so recently thought I should give the campaign a go to justify the purchase. I gave up after several hours. It really is fucking awful. Somewhat akin to watching a video of Virtua Cop whilst repeatedly banging yourself over the head with a tin tray. Quite simply the worst FPS (and I've played Duke Nukem Forever) I've played in absolutely years.

I'm sure The Adventures of Estaban and his Flying Dog will be out one day. Maybe.
Yup. MW2 was my downfall, so amped and apart from an alrightish blockbuster campaign, it was fucking guff.

I wouldn't touch the MW3 MP with a barge pole, but I've always enjoyed the campaigns.
My uncle in-law knows Billy Murray quite well. Wonder if he'd do my voicemail message.
MW3: Now with KICKING button.
Will still get it, and will still enjoy it. It may be all set piece & shooting gallery but its still more fun than most of the FPS I've tried. Looking at you crysis 2, you were very disappointing!
I would say that I'll wait for £17.99, but that's probably 18 months away.
They do make a hell of a trailer.

Never playing a CoD game again. They are the worst thing about this forum.
World at War was the best. Yeah that's right. Screw all of you
CoD is the fuck.
I would, but I detest the mentality of the people who play it online. The Chav Cunt's favourite.
CoD4 opened the floodgates.

Actually, that's the one good thing about CoD, it's taken most of the tossers away from Halo MP.
I'm glad you qualified that.
I liked CoD before it was cool.

If I could buy a version without MP, I might be tempted. As inexplicable and over the top as they are, I always enjoy playing through the campaign.
