The ending was a bit too; "AMERICA, FUCK YEAH" for me, great game though.

Yeah, that was the only thing that felt incredibly cheesy.

This game is infinitely better than MW2. I really enjoyed the campaign. The new direction Treyarch took with telling their story was really nice. Instead of just being a mindless war game, it actually got you thinking. There really wasn't anything I can actually complain about with the campaign. Haven't played MP yet.

I still think Activision is a piece of shit though, charging you for dedicated servers. Fuck Activision fuck Activision fuck Activision.

also what the fuck is this steam required bullshit? I got the physical copy in hopes of being able to LAN but apparently you are REQUIRED to have it connected to your steam account. horse balls.

Steam owns. Gaben owns.

You say its infinitely better before playing the meat of the game, multiplayer. (this is my face)

I've determined the L96A1 is god tier.

I haven't played the multiplayer yet, but I just finished the campaign. God damn the ending was satisfying. I love all that brainwashing conspiracy shit. I won't say much since I don't want to spoil anything for anyone.

I love the interface and the library but having games connected to my account so only I can play them seems dumb. I went out of my way to get the physical copy because I wanted to install it for my room mate in hopes of lanning, and now we can't

I may as well have bought it at the steam store

E:
Multiplayer would be cool if the game didn't run at a steady 20 frames at 1024x768 at the lowest settings, despite my graphics card being able to handle COD4 maxed out 1080p at 40-50 frames easilly

So they upped the Xbox Live and System Link party size from 1 to 2. Thanks, guys, now we only need eight copies of the game when LAN-ing.

I like how everything is unlocked when playing local. I had friends who would take a calendar year updating their classes after every match. I actually like this game better than MW2.

^ Did you expect a CoD game to not re use animations?

I miss the old Call of Duty style game play. I miss running through towns completing objectives as a normal solider, not Team America. I hate this whole idea of being stuck in one area smaller than Vatican city with a population of 30,000,000 people who all want you dead. Call of Duty 4 was fun. World at War had fun single-player. MW2 seemed like a 5 hour mash up of endless enemy spawns in tiny areas, and multi-player that went completely untested. Black ops has one of the most linear campaigns I think I have ever seen in my life, and the multi-player is fun sometimes, but player spawns and map designs really fail.

It's funny you would say that, since Call of Duty 4 had infinitely respawning enemies in virtually every encounter, while MW2 almost never did.

MW2 had shit tons of enemies and rooms smaller than my kitchen, it was ridiculous. CoD4 had a shit ton of enemies in wide open spaces where it would make sense, or when you were guarding something or someone.
