 Who's got it? Oh shit, dawg, gorgeous and runs at a butter  smooth 60fps, and full of so many excellent set-pieces. I'm  sort of surprised by how superbly atmospheric this game is  despite its ''generic'' settings. It just feels awesome.  Could really do without the infinite spawning crap during  some of the aforementioned set-pieces, but whatever. Nice  return to form for the series.

Haven't played the full version of it yet, but I wasn't  particularly impressed... it runs very smoothly, but  something about the sky graphics make the game feel like it  takes place in a large box.. they just aren't high-res  enough and feel confining. Graphics being the least  important aspect of good gameplay, I would gladly overlook  that, but I do not like the "shoot through everything"  mechanic in the game. Just because you can shoot through  dry-wall doesnt mean you can shoot through brick or solid  concrete walls, but as far as the demo goes, it makes no  difference. It feels as though they simply threw in that  mechanic without really taking the time to implement it in a  way that it makes sense. Anyone who has visited or seen  photos of areas where firefights have taken place can tell  you that all the walls are pockmarket with bullet holes,  most of which do not pass through the wall (where small arms  are concerned). From what I've heard from people with the  full version, this "paper-thin-wall" mechanic devolves  multiplayer into a spawn-camp fest as people grenade-spam  and shoot through the walls of the spawn area. This is  exactly the direction I had hoped the multiplayer for CoD  wouldn't take. Instead of implementing a stamina system to  curb bunny-hopping, they give the bunny-hoppers more power  by allowing them to jump around like morons while shooting  through walls. When you couple this with the UAV  reconnaissance drones that allow you to see people through  walls, you end up with very unbalanced multiplayer. As I  said I haven't played the full version, so you'll have to  take my comments with a grain of salt. Gamespot's review has  said that the Singleplayer campaign is very short, and if  the multiplayer is truly this bad, then I'll have to wait  until the price drops to justify paying for this game.

I can't really speak for the multiplayer, haven't tried it  yet and I don't think I'm going to put that much time into  it, I'm too busy with
  online Warhawk. I don't spend much time on FPS multi. The  campaign is awesome though, the same linear scripted  epic-ness. May be short, and I feel like I'm going to beat  it in 6-7 hours, but I'll run through it on veteran and that  struggle should justify the price-tag.

To be honest, the singleplayer campaign seems like it would  be absolutely awesome, even if it's short. I am a pretty big  FPS-multiplayer though, so if I'm going to buy it, I would  want the MP to live up to my expectations. It appears that,  as of right now, it doesn't (they even took away CTF mode  from CoD), but once the price drops I will still most likely  purchase this game just for the epic singleplayer.

Isn't it just another copy/paste of the previous games and  medal of honour and all those other games that are  copy/pastes of whichever one was the first one or, possibly,  a movie?

Call do Duty 3 was ho-hum and this is awesome, So, no, not  really. The Medal of Honor games aren't even in the same  league.
 
  And fuck I am getting plastered online. Though it is pretty  good... sort of annoyingly claustrophobic and confined at  times, but that IS sort of the point of these modern urban  skirmishes. I haven't tried all the maps (and I didn't play  the beta) but I don't see a problem firing through shit.  Cover is just... cover, unless you hide somewhere stupid.

Oooh I like the SAS missions, especially the one at  Chernobyl. Strictly linear and highly scripted, but that  makes it feel smooth and cool working in tandem with your  captain, crawling through the grass amongst patrols and  picking and choosing who you should take out.
 
  I wish there was more stealth of that ilk in these games.  The nighttime SAS missions feel great too, but the little  snippets of stealth in those missions leave me wanting more.

I cannot get bothered by action shooting games. Got myself a  360 and the only FPS game I enjoyed was Bioshock. All the  other games intending to recreate a war atmosphere can go  fuck themselves. Real war is boring enough.

You REALLY like Bioshock, don't you? 
  But yeah Assassin's Creed looks amazing, it's come a long  way. Thief is probably my second favorite series of all time  and Assassin's Creed looks like some kind expanded version  of ''The City'' from Thief 3. Or the ''Thieve's Highway''  from Thief 2. Holy shit I can't wait for this.
 
  Uncharted/Assassin's Creed/Mario Galaxy/Mass Effect in the  next week or two, crazy

anybody else find some of the ariel infared battle scenes  very disturbing? 
 
  that shit looks identical to the footage you see of iraqis  getting toasted by explosives from thousands of feet in the  air. 
 
  it makes me sad that kids are playing this shit, it really  does. and i am a huge fan of mortal kombat, its not the  violence that bothers me its more the dessenitizing people  to the concept of very realistic warfare that resembles  exactly a war happening right now

If that's your concern, you should boycott videogames  altogether because they only reason they don't make games  look completely realistic now is because they don't have the  technology. One day violence in games will be so lifelike it  will be completely indistinguishable from reality.

  it felt weird to play that part because of how realistic it  was, disturbing is the right word... that part was maybe a  bit too real.
