That was Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. Ah, the memories of being able to carry a pistol, rifle, machine gun, submachine gun, grenades, and some other category I can't remember (launchers?) all at the same time. The memories of dropped weapons disappearing if you didn't pick them up soon, and sometimes not being able to pick them up at all. Also, the memories of absolutely no AI buddies and going into the bunkers at Normandy ALONE.

I mean, COME ON, you just made me run up the beach, run BACK to get the explosives, dodge MG fire, and then I have to go into a bunker and clear out 30 guys by myself?

Nice post, looking forward to the game even more!!!!

though I do disagree with you that MW2 had a thrilling campaign, so if campaign isnt as good as MW2's campaign, Ill be sticking with all the other game modes!!!

I have 5 hours of MP played and I think it is fantastic. Guns are good, perks are good, I only have RCXD and Valkerie Rockets unlocked, but killstreaks are good too.

The only pain is you have to use COD Points for EVERYTHING!!!! You can't just level up and unlock guns, you have to unlock them and then buy them with points. Your emblem editor, every background, every layer every addition costs more and more points. Points add up quick in combat training, but in regular MP it is tough sledding.

All said and done, I have more interest in it than MW2. There are just so many new and innovative things to do with this one. BTW, look for the mini-game with in the game Dead Ops. VERY COOL

I am a manager of a video game retail store. You are damn right I took one home as soon as UPS dropped off the box. I have played ZOMBIES, which is good, but harder than I recall. I have played the first two levels of the campaign, so far good, but not the thrilling feeling from MW2.

In combat training I have ranked up to level 21, and I have a good amount of stuff unlocked and purchased. It is VERY cool seeing our clan tag on the gun along with the emblem I personally created. (Nice touches Treyarch). And in the MP i am up to a level 12. I have to say that the statistics when you unlock them are overwhelming. They break down your k/d ration on each weapon, they give you a heat map of where your hit markers are on the enemy. 90% of my hits are between the belt and the groin. HA. It is extremely well put together game, no ifs ands or buts.

I am hoping the game doesn't get ruined but scumbag cheaters and JTAG a holes. So for now, I am not going back to MW2 for a long while.
Well there is my 2 cents.

Hey... can you give us COD fans some facts about Combat training?

I got COD Black Ops sent through the post today, went to play online and it says that the servers cannot be found at this time, please try again later. Are the servers not being activated until midnight on Monday?

Speaking of tunnels, I found in quite a few maps there are tunnels only the RCXD can fit through, very nice once you get to know the maps.

The leaderboards aren't up. I'm assuming everything I do will be reset or not count when the release is official.

Do you find yourself running out of CP a lot or not having enough for your main purpose?

And I like how they have an even better gun-stats tracker now.

Yes and no, you get enough points for things you need, not enough for everything you want.

Medal of Honor Rising Sun? It showed at the end of campaign, I forgot it it worked also in MP.

Anyways, +1 for OP.

My only problem with early reviews is that it doesn't necessarily mean that the game is balanced. MW2 was an amazing game for the first few weeks.

I can see it now: IGN will give it a 9.5/10, G4 will give it a 5/5, etc etc. That doesn't mean the MP is balanced, which is my biggest worry.

I'm not saying the OP is wrong or his opinion isn't valid or anything like that, but no positive reviews I will read will make me anymore hopeful.
