    IMO Treyarch have been much better than IW at developing maps. Mirroring each side makes it more ballanced for both teams. If you look at MW2's Estate for example, thats just a joke. One team is way more elevated than the other. Camp in the house with a javelin and fire one off directly onto the opositions spawn.

    Am I the only person that actually likes Estate :pac: Its the exact reason you mentioned too, its so different on either side. theres a ton of great sightlines, loads of ways around the map and it suits almost every gametype, maybe a bit big for S&D but for ground wars its perfect. Its hard to get spawntrapped as well which the COD4 maps are terrible 4 (I like the maps, just getting out a a trap at C on vacant and A on Crash are a fcuking nightmare, at least in maps like Estate you can fight your way out through multiple routes)

    jesus christ thats desperate. Who cares what engine it's being built on when they all look like trash on the current gen consoles anyway??? Of course, there is the "gameplay", you could honestly play this game against bots and i'm not convinced it would feel any different. COD BO was a final revelation for me that the series has met it's end with it's current loadout. So much would have to be done to push the series forward. BF3 is a perfect example of what kind of steps need to be taken to evolve. But in saying that, the vast majority of COD players being the type to only buy 1-2 games a year, I'm guessing all they need is a new map pack for 15euro to feel like they've purchased a new game. meh, ill pass this time

    so far this year alone I've bought and finished/currently playing/will play:

    Vanquish
    Red Dead Redemption
    Alan Wake
    Splinter Cell Conviction (was playing catchup with xbox titles)
    Portal 2
    Mortal Kombat
    and a bunch of XBLA games

    and plan on buying:

    LA Noire
    Gears 3
    Duke Nukem
    Arkham City
    Deus Ex
    Zelda: Skyward Sword (if it comes out this year)
    Battlefield 3
    MW3
    Tomb Raider
    and Uncharted 3 (the daddy of games releases this year for me)

    So not all COD players are ADD riddled kids with no intrerest in any other games,I've been playing games for 25 years (I know I'm old :pac: ) and have no plans on stopping any time soon.. MW2 has its shortcomings, but its still infinitely more fun to play than Black Ops for me, I just enjoy it way more.

    thats what Im doing for Halloween this year, dunno what to do about the gun though might just but a cheap toy one and bring that, wouldnt get an airsoft gun (as much as Id love one) just for that night. plus I dont think nightclubs would like people strolling in with replica assault rifles slung over their shoulder :pac: so a toy m16 or something will do fine,


    they do still sell toy guns right?...

    I wouldnt mind Ghost returning, even someone else wearing the balaclava and taking up the name, its the easiest way around it.

    BTW Ghost was shot in the jaw :D so he may be alive,

    Ghost kinda got set on fire too though! :D I think it was a waste of a character honestly, gace him a great backstory in the comics and he could've been made into even more of a badass than he was in MW2. I like the idea of someone else wearing the balaclava though, tribute sort of thing. Or him appearing in a flashback of some form.

    See I thought the opposite...I thought Ghost, the whole TF141, their lame names, and...the...SoapHawk....were all lame. Like a ten year old airsofters wet dream.

    So any info on elite packages of MW3?

    I'd hold off on that one for right now...

    See E3 is coming up....
    MS are REALLY quiet for some reason....
    They HAVE to bring something big to not get washed out....
    They have a brilliant running history with Activision / COD and exclusive deals....
    The COD userbase is the largest on 360....
    The main strength of the 360 is XBL....
    Activision want to do anything poss to avoid trade in revenue loss...

    What does this all add up to?? MS hammering out and revealing a deal done with Activision for console exclusive day 1 release of MW3 for XBL download.

    It would be a powerhouse - MW3 & XBL digital download day 1, it works out brilliant for all parties involved and I certainly would be on that like a shot.
    The only loosers would be the brick and mortar stores but put it this way steam have been operating this business model for ages now and brick and mortar stores are hardly going to not stock MW3 out of protest.

    Watch MS @ e3 closely
