I was quite looking forward to this (only 'quite' after I didn't buy the last game in the series: Modern Warfare2).
I almost wish I hadn't bought this one. The single player seems excessively scripted, linear, and to be honest rather childish and daft. The multiplayer seems interesting but on release really flakey, drops connections, and doesn't remember settings.
I must be getting old 'cos I look at my shelves and remember that old CoD and MoH used to be lots of fun and with (although linear) interesting story lines that involved more than running around slums like the Favela or a bunch of rooftops that I can't remember. The multiplayer maps seemed better thought out with the option that new maps were often appearing to try out - anyone remember the 'West Wall' map for CoD?
I'm determined not to play FPS on the xBox, but for gaming pleasure I have to admit that despite pretending to be a die-hard PC-gamer, for me Red Dead Redemption has been the most fun game of the year for me (and yes I know that RDR is not an FPS, but I'm making a point
).
I can only hope that the Zombies option provides some more entertainment at the w/e.
