Is anyone else disappointed that this is a lot more run-and-gun than COD4? It seemed like there was some more strategy and thinking involved in playing that than this. =(

I think that was intentionally left wide open, just like the convo between Price and Nikolai at the end when Nikolai says he knows the perfect place. It's not exactly going on a limb to guess that MW3 is going to involve a badass revenge plot.
Basically at this point it's Splinter Cell: Comrades, The First Person Experience. Not that I'm complaining at all.

Also the voice acting in this game was awesome. I picked up on at least 3 relatively popular people-- Kevin McKidd ("THIRTEEEEN!"), David Keith (Goliath from Gargoyles and a TON of other things), and Pierce from 24.

I'm with you.
About halfway through single player (2 hours played), and while it's certainly a fast-paced spectacle, I'm not really enjoying it that much. I don't find the missions very rewarding, kills don't feel strategic and hard earned as much as they feel random and pointless. Enemies spawning everywhere, almost all of them jamming up your screen from a great distance and hard to discern against the busy backdrops and particle effects. And with the way the shooting galleries play out, they might as well have kept the infinite re-spawns. I guess I'm missing the sensation of feeling like I'm actually beating the bad guys, instead of hitting check points or pre-determined "win" conditions.
Still, it's fun and it's short so I'll see it through to the end. But so far I think it's a step down from MW1's campaign. We'll see. Multi and Spec ops are awesome, no surprise.

I love Tom Chick's writing.
The story just doesn't really have any adequate closure for me. There are more serious issues left open than closed. IW likes to do that with their mid-mission story updates--they jump around-- so I'm assuming the next jump is to CoD8. But, uh, dayum.chubigans said:

Was in a building, saw a flare and wondered why someone would drop a care package there. When I crossed over it, I realized it was a tactical insertion. I was about to smash it, but decided to camp it instead. A few seconds later, someone spawned looking into the barrel of my gun. :lol

God, I hate these rolling grenades. I swear it's like they're magnetized to me or some bullshit.

So when I was online earlier today, I noticed I was ranked over 900,000 and something in the world. This was on ps3, is this for real? That's quite a lot of people playing within a day.

Single player question :
In the mission exodus, you get tasked with going to some guys house whose locked himself in a panic room. Any idea who or what this bit was about ? Cant remember it ever being answered who the guy was and the importance of the intel you grab.

I've played about an hour so far. Do the voice-overs stay this cringingly cornball the whole way through? It's so ridiculous you want it to be tongue-in-cheek but you know it's not. I think Shepherd has already said "History is written by the victors" twice.
Finished SP. It was full of wow moments but the end left me saying 'this is it?' Took me about four hours to complete. I don't remember how long CoD 4 took but it was definitely lengthier. Oh well. Game length aside, it was an awesome experience while it lasted. Probably won't get much replay from me unless IW changes its mind on the dedicated server bit though.

Oh it gets awesome. There's a monologue in the loading sequence to the final level to die for.Dude Abides said:
Got up to
in single player. There are not as many surprises or variations in the gameplay as there were in COD4 (one shot one kill, death from above, etc) but I do like the variety of the environments more. Defending a fast food joint was awesome. :lol The oil rig was spectacular as well, they managed to make this game noticeably better in terms of graphics.
Multiplayer has been awesome other than both CTF games I played being extremely lagged out. Has anyone else experience that?
As of six hours ago the global kill leader already had 18,000+
How early did some people get their hands on this? :lol

After a little over 6 hours of online Ive decided care packages have ruined the game. They completely throw off the balance. At no point should I be able to call in an AC 130 gun ship by opening a crate that only took me four kills to get.
Just because everyone else on the map can see them does not balance these things. Ive randomly won games at the very end because I ran into someone elses package, opening it up to find a fucking chopper gunner. The shit is ludicrous.
Kill streaks have completely lost the impact they once had. When someone got out the helicopter in COD4 you knew that someone was kicking ass. Now, he could as well just have opened up some box laying in the middle on nowhere. It's not the game it once was.
While I'm in a ranting mood these maps suck. Favela. Garbage. So many different alley ways and rooftoops you never know where to look. Most of these maps are either way to big or way to small for someone who only plays FFA. And why do I keep playing the same 5 maps over and over in FFA. Why are not all 16 maps showing up. Maybe Id have a different opinion of the maps if I could play mostly all of them in the mode I play the most.

That is pretty much what CTF was like for me, but Team Deathmatch, Headquarters and everything else was smooth. Must have just been a shitty host in both cases.
I'm undecided on whether I like or hate what they did with Headquarters. One one had, you no longer get ten minute stalemates over a location that is too easy to throw grenades to. On the other hand it makes it easier for campers since the location can to where they are.

In addition to not being balanced for lean, apparently the game is not balanced for FFA.
(In all seriousness, I'm having the same experience I had with COD4 with regards to FFA -- good.)

If you're curious about the technology at work in the NVGs, you'll be happy to note that the prestige edition gear actually uses legitimate infrared imaging rather than toy-like green tinted light. When in use, the front mounted lens and sensors emit no light, perfect for most late-night kitchen recon operations. As far as controls are concerned, users can alternate between green and grayscale imagery, as well as toggle low-range and high-range imaging. As far as imaging quality is concerned, the depth and clarity of the night vision is surprisingly good. Although the in-goggle display isn't of the highest resolution it serves it purpose well enough. Objects and people appear clear and focused with sharp edges and plenty of detail. The goggles come with two dials for adjusting the focus of the goggles, but for the most part, I reached a certain level of focus and never really had to readjust it.
The only real issues I encountered with the goggles were motion blur, which seems to be a fairly common problem with infrared imaging, and focusing issues when not wearing glasses or contacts. To the latter point, if you wear glasses and don't have contacts, you may have some issues using the night vision goggles. While even my thick black rimmed glasses were able to fit comfortably within the goggles during use, when I tried to use the goggles without glasses or contacts, the left and right angles of the image became split. Otherwise, however, if you've got 20/20, contact lens, or glasses small enough to fit into the goggles, your experience should be pretty satisfactory.
Actually not that bad.
