I'm too slow/old/lame for those gun-n-run games, the BF3 premium CQB add-on is as close as I come to them...

I'm not really into it anymore myself, but my daughter is...so have one pre-ordered... just wondering IF I'd have anyone to play with, didn't have too many with MW3. wink

BTW, said i wouldn't but picked up MoH WF for 360 for 30 bucks... the PC version has been growing on me, but getting ass handed to me playing with a gamepad. wink

I'm going to buy it just to have something in between breaks from BF3. Plus I haven't bought a COD game since MW2 back in 2009 (a life time ago!). Did borrow MW3 from a friend so that doesn't count. But yeah I'm getting it on or around release day.

I have it preordered for the 360, but I may cancel it. I just picked up BF3 premium for the 360 and Halo 4 is released on Nov. 6.

I may rent the 360 version of MoH WF. If I do I'll let you know and we can have a few games.

My wife pre-ordered it so I could play with my son, but if he's not into it I'll ship it off to amazon to sell used.

I voted "Undecided".

I'm just not sure. I've been doing a lot of PC gaming lately (Race 07, RoF, Cliffs of Dover, BF3, etc.).

This has gone from a "yes" to a "maybe" for me. I may not get it at all. I've got plenty on my plate at the moment.

My next 360 game will likely be Far Cry 3.

I might get Black Ops 2 eventually, but I don't see it happening before early 2013. And if it doesn't have "Combat Training", like the last one, then it's a definite "No".

I'll pick up on launch day. I hated MW3 at first but then I forced myself to play just to justify the $60 and I ended up putting a ton of time into it and recorded my best K/D ratio to date on any COD game. The mistake I made at first was constantly trying to compare it to BF3, which was completely unfair and unrealistic because the 2 games are night and day IMO. I really enjoy both games now for what they are and nothing more.

Now that I feel more confident against the hyper reflexed generation, I look forward to handing out some punishment and representing our generation! thumbsup


Nice hat, looks good on you though.

I'm really torn on that one. No doubt I'm getting it, but while the 360 is better for co-op, I really want to see it on pc. If they stick with tradition, it should be a good system workout.

Undecided, but leaning towards no.

I'm pretty sick of COD games and I've never been much of a fan of the zombie mode. I still haven't touched the MW3 singleplayer and I bought that on launch day. (only played 2-3 hours of the MP as well)

I might leave this one for the twitch kiddies and their Youtube montages.

But who knows, something may change my mind by release day. It's happened many times before.


I refuse to buy a flight sim that I have no interest in playing, on the off chance that MAYBE someday they'll make the one I really want to play.

Not sure if you're interested but, believe it or not, the campaign in MW3 is worth playing. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Watching commercials of BO2 on TV now, with the ACDC song, Back in Black... sure looks different then the usual CoD, not gameplay wise but the future scene, which I'm not really into myself, but does look different. wink

I'll probably get it. I was mucho dissappointed that the sequel doesn't stay in the 60s or at least go no further than the 80s, but I really liked Black Ops some much so that it and COD4 are my favorites of the post WW2 CODS.

I believe there are some flashback missions ingame however where you a spec ops in the the 80s in the desert on horse back.

Two things I loved from BlackOps mp was the economy system and the dive mechanic. I like the economy system so much that going to MW3 mp was unpleasant and annoying. I've barely touched MW3.
