Having played a few Team Deathmatchs and Free For All's, here is my review.

- The music and sound are fantastic.

- It is borderline chaos. There is always something either chasing after you or killing other players. Air drops, helicopters, different more powerful helicopters, automatic sentry turrets, airstrikes, controllable Predator missles, the AC130 thing ... something is always killing you.

- This game is a victim of technology. There is absolutely no difference in the usage of any gun in the game. I accidentally picked a SMG - I had been using the M4A1 since I started - and didn't even notice until an award popped up for getting five kills with the SMG. Even the handguns are out of control. I seriously cannot tell if that is a sentry gun, a human, or a helicopter shooting at me from behind. There is virtually no difference between the quality of the guns; I've used about 10 different guns.

- Speaking of handguns, your sidearm is now your "secondary" weapon and they include handguns, automatic handguns, shotguns, etc. So you can run around with an assault rifle and a shottie if you so desired.

- Speaking of awards, my fucking god you get points for doing anything! Perks all over the place and lots of different things to unlock. For those of you that were good with the ACOG scope, you are going to dominate with the thermal scope.

- Oh yeah, best part ... mid-game host migration. If the host leaves, it pauses and finds a new host.

- The invite system looks to be fucked. Defaults to the PS3's XMB and then seems to send an email. Doesn't look promising.

- Someone said 19 maps and, if that is true, I am the unluckiest bastard ever. About 50 games and I've seen the same 10 maps. The maps are totally uninspiring; lots of maps with buildings, which is good because you will need cover.

- I say you will need cover because there is no escaping someone anymore. They see you, they shoot first, you are dead 90% of the time in one second. It is commonplace to see the FOURTH-PLACE guy finish with 25 kills and 22 deaths. You die. Often. The guns are too good. Someone was shooting a sniper rifle that seemed to be capable of getting off a shot ever third of a second.

- You can have multiple special weapons at your ready. What I mean by that is remember when you got a mortar strike in COD5, but if didn't use it before you got two more kills, you only got the dogs? Well, no more of that, you get both.

All in all, this game currently gets a 7.5. It ranks behind both four and five.

OK, I just played a new map and it flies in the face of my comment on the maps. There are multi-story buildings all over the map. It was quite fun.

I expected those first two points, but I refuse to believe its behind five. Maybe four, but wow Cod WaW sucked and if its behind that I'll trade it in by early December.

Hey TeeWade, if you trade it in by Dec.13(I think it is) you get 40 bucks credit at GameStop.

Thought I saw where Hans Zimmer did the music for the game, he mainly does movies but is considered one of the best for his movie scores, pretty cool he did the music for this game.

Everyone is allowed to have their own thoughts, but I love it...Very fun the maps are great IMO...and the guns yes seem to be pretty sick and you do get killed alot but hell I have in all the games...I think the graphics look awesome and this is based on about 4 hours of solid playing. I have only played online but I think it is great.

I dont know about dying 90% of the time you get shot at trendon....id say the majority of the time im able to turn around when i get shot and put a burst straight to the shooters head and win the firefight. Kind of "Resistance"-esque (to hoos and mike)....the good players will shine through and be able to take down a couple people at a time in firefights. The one thing that really bothers me right now is the grenade launcher....i get hit by that thing 1/4 of the time it seems. Hopefully when people start unlocking new shit theyll switch from that default to something new.

So whats up with the invite system? is it working? How does it work?
