i haven't found a gun i like using yet but the kill streaks are insane.  the missle one is sweet.
i played a little - not a lot, right now i'm at like level 20 or so.

I haven't gotten any kill streaks other than the care pack.  :(

A lot of friends are telling me that it's "sweet" and "awesome" and "best game ever!" but they aren't telling me why.

what is different from Call of Duty 4?  Better graphics/gameplay?  Or just new maps?

Probably buying it tonight, have tomorrow off.

Cire- it's 11, but I got it through the care package. I unlocked the harrier and have been getting it quite regularly. That's 7 I think. Predator Missile is pretty great. I'm also around 20 or so. I got a pretty long kill streak with the AC 130. Switch to the middle sized gun and go to town.

Things different from CoD4- The game play and controls are pretty similar, thank God. But the maps are much more involved. There's always some form of high ground. You can get on roofs, etc. alot more frequently. Also, the environment is destructible. Customization is out of this world. Each gun has 7? attachments and 5-7 paint jobs. Each with tons of challenges. The perks now have a pro version that unlocks a better perk (Get so many kills with Stopping Power to unlock Stopping Power Pro which increases damage on vehicles). The callsigns seemed useless at first, but there are a few hundred Titles to unlock so it's fun to see what everyone has. You get points for everything. Multikills, shooting down helicopters, even stupid stuff like reloading the most times in a game or looking through a scope for the longest time. Graphics have definitely been improved. The blood splatter effect is awesome, and when an explosion occurs near you, you get a mud splatter effect. Nothing really influences gameplay, but it makes it so much more submersive.

the maps seem crowded to me.  i keep getting shot in the ear, or the ass.  the forward facing one on one's don't happen enough, it's like ants just running around all over the place without much flow to them.

of course part of that is me not caring about k/d and just running around until i see someone to shoot.

I had the same problem, but once I learned some of the maps I got pretty good at knowing what to expect. There are a couple maps that are very Carentan/Chinatown esque. Way too maze like. Love the openness of the snow level with trains and Wasteland though.

yeah I really like the open levels.

lots of the fighting takes place over a distance which is really cool IMO.

overall their is like a million times more to this game in MP than COD 4.  There is just a ton going on.

Can you not do private chats in a party anymore? 

I was playing last night, and a guy sent me a private chat invite and a party invite (which use to work fine in both COD4 and COD5), but when we tried to enter a standard hardcore deathmatch (NOT mercenary) it gave us a notice that we had to quit our private chat and open up our communications to the group.   :yuck:

This is the only thing I dislike about htis game.  No private party chats.  You have to go into game chat with all the little kids yelling n!gg3r and f@gg0t all the time.  I toggle mute the whole room except my friends but it's really ridiculous.  It also sucks to think you're getting owned by a 12 year old racist.

Agreed. I'm fine with it in gametypes like Search and Destroy, but TDM? comeon.

I haven't even tried the single player game yet.  Spent a few hours last night just trying to get my bearings.  I'll be locked and loaded for real action tonight or tomorrow.

I also want to add that Host Migration is AWESOME. Yeah, we've all had it with Halo and the like for a while now, but it's so much faster than them. I was back in the game within 1-2 seconds.

I'll probably start campaign tonight or tomorrow.

Anyone been in a game yet where a tactical nuke went  off?  I haven't.

I was in one last night when an electromagnetic pulse went off.  Crazy.  It makes your entire screen a little hazy, removes your map, and no one can use their red dot sights.

No nuke yet. I wondered what the hell the EMP would do to be worth 20 kills.

I am looking forward to level 19 tonight so I can play hardcore.  That's all I really like to play anymore.

I am decent, but am often called a "camper."   :rolleyes:  I'm a sniper, not a camper.  :curse:

I'm at level 35 I think.  I'm a trainwreck.  I couldn't sleep last night because I was dreaming about setting up my killstreak classes and couldn't make up my mind. I kept waking up.  Crazy.

I think the maps absolutely promote camping.  The guy rushing into the fight is a dead man.  You HAVE to be sneaky and find good spots and move around.  I went 37-5 yesterday in a game of domination.  I had a corner of the map figured out and was running from point to point getting shots off at both ends and avoiding detection.  Called in a Pavelow and it wiped out 18.  Great fun.

I have some ideas on a new setup tonight that I can wait to try.

got some missle strikes today.

was doing pretty well on groundwar.

Have to stay out of the middle of the map unless you have a silencer.  Have to keep moving around flanks and head off their guys.

deciding which combos to use is maddening.

I was rocking it out tonight. I adjusted my kill streaks so I have Predator Missile, Harrier Airstrike (basically an airstrike, then the harrier will float in a spot and take people out like a helicopter), and an AC130. I called in 2 AC 130s in no time. Had a few games in a row where I went like 25-4. I've been using the SCAR with the thermal scope. That thing is pretty cool. Run out of ammo too fast though. I also killed a guy with a riot shield, picked it up, then got 3 kills with it. My friend I was playing with got up on the roof in Highrise and went 27-4 and called in a nuke. First one I've experienced. Pretty cool. In another game, he called in a helicopter gunner and he went 41-0. wtf.

SCAR with ACOG and silencer right here, bitches.  Totally agree that it runs out.  May have to switch to scavenger just to get the extra magazines bonus perk.

Going to suck when I get cold blooded...won't want to give up the magazines.

Just beat this bad boy on on Hardened. The story wasn't really strong, but it was one of the better gaming experiences I've had. Can't wait for the next one that is setup by this one.
