I had pre-ordered this at Gamestop but I don't think I'll be able to get there tonight-if I go pick this up at the Target near my work-there will be a Nuketown code in the box right?

Likely a problem on my end but I can't seem to connect to a match on pc. It gets to the loading screen for the map, takes forever, and then disconnects me from the server. Sucks.
It will probably included in the first map pack.

Well..
Installed the texture pack on the PS3 version...still, in my eyes, not very "crisp", looks very soft and hazy.
Also...it be nice to, connect to a game, stay connected, and not be signed out of PSN completely every few maps.
Guess I'll try later tonight.
I bought the 360 and PS3 version, both said on the back of the box "Nuketown 2025 included"

The SMG hipfire in this game is so amazing. I used the assault rifles a few times, but the maps for the most part seem to favor the SMG rushing style. Dextery combined with the lightweight perk is an amazing combo. Add a few wildcards and it gets even crazier. The pick 10 system just allows you to do so many interesting things.
The sniping is good in this game if you have a decent connection, but I don't think it's overpowered. I was doing ok with the DSR-50 in a few matches and it seems like decent hit detection. DSR is what you'll see people using the most because it unlocks immediately and IMO is the best sniper in the game. I now understand why they brought quickscoping back because of how fast paced this game is. If someone comes sprinting around a corner with an SMG, you're done. If you don't hit your first shot, you're done unless the person is really bad.
This game feels like the pace of MW3 with Black Ops gun-play. Everything feels super smooth as long as you have a good connection. If you get shot you can just run around the corner, preferably with lightweight. I had a few lag spikes here and there, but overall it's decent.

Yes. I think the launch batch of games come with it, but I don't think the rest will.

Question is the 360 version one disc or two? Thinking of red boxing it. Thanks
What version of the game you got?
I'm guessing PS3

Does the sound mix on PC seem...shitty...to anyone else?

I had a couple flickering graphical glitches in the second mission, and the sound seems to be strangely low across both singleplayer and multiplayer on PC. Other than that, I'd say this is a pretty good port.
So far my first COD on PC experience has been a good so far as well, and I've had some great matches. I'll definitely be playing it a lot more later today, but yeah, enjoying it way more than MW3 right now.
Edit - Having the same issues too, bluedeviltron.

For anyone who has PS3 version, how often do you freeze?

Not sure why I picked this up - I knew I hated FPS on console 
At least I didn't use the code yet- prob put it on craigslist after I give it a few more hrs.

I love how the back of the box has no information on the game besides the game modes, and the instruction booklet is bare as hell.
This generation, I swear.

Perfect. Thanks for the responses everyone.
Mines only froze once, but I keep getting disconnected from servers

Yes, it's garbage.
Do you have a 500 series Nvidia card?
I've only had one hard lock resulting in a complete reboot, but i've had numerous instances where the game just freezes for a good 5-10 seconds.

Oh come on. This is, what, the 6th CoD in as many years? Everyone knows exactly what they're getting with all three of those modes. What exactly does the box need to say?

Saw some heads flying in a single player video.. Not sure about multiplayer.
Is it too much to ask for an over world cloth map and a pewter statue of a dragon?

What's the recoil like?
Varies significantly by weapon.
It's definitely not 'recoilless' by any stretch of the imagination though.

Are Steam's grid view pics for multiplayer and zombies missing for everyone else?

How so? Have you adjusted any options from the Audio menu?
I've noticed this as well, Treyarch are big on dismembered limbs and exploding faces. I'm expecting some decent gibs.
Also, I just read you can choose your load-outs before starting single player missions...I don't know why, but this pleases me greatly. Fuck work, I need to play this game.

Some pictures from the midnight launch event I attended last night.

Just came back from Gamestop and picked up my Hardened edition as well as a pair of turtle beaches. About to dive back into the game. Will be unlocking the Assault Shield shortly and then the real fun begins.

Anyone else find the death screams in multi really obnoxious? Die and get what seems like a 2 second "arrrrrrgggghhhh". They just feel really over exaggerated to me.

Questions for those with the game:
Assault Shield - Can the enemy eventually break this? When planted in the ground, can you walk through it? Can the enemy? Can you just plant it in a doorway to block off a path?
Scavenger - What exactly does it refill? Tactical grenades? Shock charges? Claymores?
Maps - Please continue detailed impressions. How is the verticality? Do most buildings have a second floor? How many entrances into each area?
Bleh.
