Picked it up on Tuesday afternoon.. Beat the single player the same day... and have played a little bit online so far.
PROS
-First XBOX live game I play that isn't riddled with lag. Kudos to IW.net on the 360 platform. It is actually really good online.. The matchmaking system is the best Ive ever seen for a console as well and finds matches really fast.
-Lots of cusomization for weapons, perks, etc, like the first one. (I only played the first one on PC though)
-Single player campaign fun as usual, like the first one.
- Fast reload in campaign when you die. (other games take a while to reload)
CONS
- I wanted this on PC but decided against a PC release since no dedicated servers.
- Single player campaign can be annoying as fuck. Played it/beat it on hardcore, the AI has some GOD LIKE fucking reflexes that make absolutely no sense.. Considering this is on console, Id expect it to be somewhat less retarded.. For instance you turn a corner and bam head shot from the AI... You cant even aim at him that quick since youre using a stupid thumb stick.
-Some really stupid missions with hordes of enemies... In one of the missions you gotta defend a laptop thats downloading/uploading data. You take on literally 100 guys that come at you from every single direction. I died about 50 times in this level and the only reason why I beat it was because it seemed to auto save pretty regulalry after killing 3-4 enemies.
- No leaning.. Though I dont think this was in the first one.. But leaning should be in ever tactical shooter (Ghost Recon, etc.)
