Bought the game last night and played for a couple hours. Have to say as soon as you get in you can tell its not from the makers of MW2. The first thing I notice is it looks more like a cartoon where as MW2 looks more realistic. They also made it hard as possible to add weapons and accesories because you have to earn points to buy them. Overall I dont like it near as much but I have only played it for a couple of hours so maybe it will grow on me. I really dont think it will be as good as the last one but who knows?

Honestly though, how can you give it a review if you have only played for a couple of hours? I only played the first level and I thought it rocked.

Just a first glance review of course. I only play the multi player and it immediatly reminded me of a cartoon game. I did mention I only played for 2 hours too.

I'ts going to be a while before I get it... I'm still enjoying Halo Reach. The multiplayer is great. But I am interested in Black Ops.

I'm getting it for the zombies, if nothing else. I love nazi zombies on world at war. My buddies and I can play that crap for hours.

I passed on Medal of Honor because I hear the single player is really short, and there isn't really any other redeeming quality about it that I can see. The single player is probably short on COD as well, but at least it has zombies, and some form of co-op, even if it isn't on the regular missions.

I am not big on playing online... I don't have a ton of time to sit around and do that. I don't like the recent trend of lazy game developers making games that have just a token single player mode and are totally intended for online play. I might pay 30 or 40 bucks for a game like that, but 60? Hell no, unless it is just extremely bad ass.

I don't know what the deal is with none of these newer games having a co-op campaign mode, or why they only allow 4 player split screen. Frickin Goldeneye 007 back in 1997 had 4 player split screen... you'd think it would be even better now with hi def TVs and whatnot.

Halo Reach has co-op campaign mode... It's sooooooo fun. The different multiplayer games are awesome. Definitely will hold my interest for a while. I'm also just a big fan of the Halo story.

I always play the campaign first before jumping online, I only played the first level, but it was pretty cool and to me the graphics are amazing.

I jumped online for about 40 mins before going to bed and it was pretty cool, its different for sure.

I reluctantly bought Medal of Honor, and yeah, the campaign was too damn short, but it was fun...the online play is nowhere near as cool as the COD games.

MOH would have been tons better if they had expanded the single player, and had co-op missions. I much prefer the gameplay of MOH over MW2. The weapons are more realistic, the sniping mission is sweet because there is a delay between taking a shot and impact downrange. It just is much more realistic and less "gamery" (if that's even a word) than MW2.
