Sorry.  It was supposed to be somewhat of a joke as well.  I did build my own calculator which provides a much more accurate representation based on your current leveling rate.

I guess I'm just a fan of CoD and more specifically IW's "feel" of the game.  I believe Treyarch has offered better support for the fans and done a much more detailed job, but the "feel" of playing an IW CoD is so much nicer to me.

The only thing that truly pushes me away is lag.  Since TU6 though I have been one of the fortunate ones where it feels like they have fixed the lag for the most part (maybe 1 or 2 out of 20 games I will be at a noticeable disadvantage due to lag).

I hope that this was more of the answer you were looking for...I'm a fan of CoD and the "feel" of the gameplay

Yes I understand. I have moments of extreme frustration but the good far exceeds the bad for me. Patches are making steady if not always forward. Take heart, the pattern of the devs on each cods is to listen, winnow, patch, improve to maintain the customer base and commercial returns. Don't worry it will improve for all. Even lag will be reduced a little further and more equitably distributed with time. Just wait and see.

Yours in CoD

Didn't realize that you were also a Gears fan.  I'm definitely a Gearhead and so are most of my friends.  I have a close group of 4-6 of us that play games almost every night.  For the last month we have been playing MW3, but leading up to its release we were on GoW3 non-stop.  I'm sure once the newness (help me with a better word for this) of MW3 wears off, we will go back and forth between the two.  We usually play CoD more only because one of the guys definitely enjoys Gears but can't tear himself away from CoD, and the rest of us just enjoy playing together.
