my Step dad got it for me today (im spoiled =3)

I just got done 2 missions of the campaign! Its pretty good, i can understand what is happening!

Zombies is AMAZING! Big ass map to play on! New areas, weapons! Have not tried grief yet!

Multiplayer is alright! Tested it out with bots and it seems okay! Its hard to believe that as soon as my friends got Black ops 2, they went Straight to multiplayer!

Overall 9/10  

I got it today. The gameplay just doesn't feel new or different. Zombies is (still) pretty fun, though.

Anyway, if anyone doesn't need their 48-hour trial cards that came with your copy, send them my way <3 I'm out of a Gold subscription and that makes me sad ):  

you onl got 48 hours trial? 0.0 halo 4 came with 14 days lmao.

I will forever hate CoD simpy due to the unbalanced nature of the multiplayer. Dying every 30 seconds isn't my thing and I don't play enough to be #pro. Always enjoyed campain, until they killed Ghost </3

How do you figure just because you die that it's not balanced?

The level up grind for better guns is what makes it unbalanced imo.

Unlocked guns are not necessarily better. In Black Ops the FAMAS was considered overpowered and it was obtained at like rank 16 I think. Many of the default loadouts, while not able to be customized, feature later-level guns as well.  

I still died in 2-4 shots which further irritated me lol. Whenever I did multiplayer I found myself using grenades or C4 more than anything. Or just camping with a sniper waiting for a kill. Just wasn't my cup of tea :p

That's cool, it really isn't everyone's. Honestly the first CoD I got was CoD4, this was after constantly hearing about everyone raving how awesome it was. I bought it, got online... got raped constantly and thought "what the ****, this isn't fun!" I put it away and didn't touch it for a couple of years. Then eventually my nephew started playing CoD so I started playing with him online. I still did horribly, but it was much more fun playing with someone else. Eventually I started getting better at it, and I played with a bunch of friends/family at night(well I did. I haven't had Live for a couple of months now). It was just a ton of fun hopping on with a full party of friends and playing, even if we lost.

It definitely isn't a game everyone can enjoy, and I don't understand why anyone would say that it's an easy, casual experience online... until you develop your faster gun reactions and learn the maps it's absolutely brutal. It's not fun losing, and it's really hard to stay interested in a game where you're dying over and over and barely come out with a couple of kills.... and it definitely doesn't help if you're playing it by yourself.  

The game is nothing like halo if it was halo you would see laser guns and aliens.

It was in one of the default classes in MW2 as well.

Ya, I'm sympathetic to the devs that work for Activision. So many people hate on the devs for games like CoD when it's Activision that forces the games to be what they are. They don't want innovation, CoD sells just as it is, so Activision says, "why waste money trying to do something better when people are going to buy it anyways?" and this happens until the franchise is driven into the ground... then they buy up a new popular one and do the same. Yet at the end of the day people will say "YOU SUCK INFINITY WARD, YOUR GAMES SUCK YOU SUCK AT MAKING GAMES!!!!!!!!" instead of looking at the real assholes behind them pulling the strings and telling them they better ****ing hurry up and get **** done, because as far as Activision is concerned everyone is expendable.

I'd say EA is worse. They might as well have killed Mass Effect with the terrible ending, plus Bioware is falling apart. They've already killed MoH and the Burnout Games. Also SW: TOR just went Free2play after a year, which is surprisingly longer than I thought, but that game has kicked the bucket as well.
And even more upsetting is that they said they would stop making Dead Space games if Dead Space 3 doesnt meet "X" amount of sales, that is just awful.

Just reminds me that video games are still a business at the end of the day.  

Well, aside from this,

anyone want to play on PS3? Whatever gamemode is fine with me.  

I'm buying it solely because all my friends are and I don't wanna feel left out..
Add me Bboy, NULLice, I might play tomorrow or after tomorrow.  

Zombies looked interesting.

This is the snowball effect that keeps CoD in the position it's in.
