If you asked me a month ago whether I'd be playing RTCW over Halo 2 when November rolls around, I would have said "yes". But I've officially retired RTCW. The last few weeks have been pretty damn crap for the game. Yeah, it still has it's good moments, but there have been too many bad ones for my taste. Too much voting, too much use of cheap weapons, too many damn kids, too much team-killing.....ugh, I've had enough. Having put nearly 375 hours into the online multiplayer (haven't even touched the single-player), I've definitely gotten my money's worth and then some. It doesn't hurt to put the game away.
That's the reason why I decided to pick up RS3BA. I put around 70 hours into the first one and they seem to have fixed all the problems with this new release and added some cool new modes. I'm hoping this will carry me until Halo 2
