I was a big fan of COD4 and never even got to play COD WOW b/c I was still playing COD4 when WOW came out. When I heard COD MWF2 was coming out, I refrained from playing WOW to wait for MWF2. They def added features that should have been in COD4. Having the ability to join your friends game was such a must. I remember trying to coordinate w/my friends on COD4 and it was a pain! Though I'm not sure if it's an option but when you're playing w/your buddies, you end up on different sides randomly. It would be nice to keep everyone in your party on the same team. But not a big deal.
But about the game, I love most of the maps except for one or two. I hope developers will provide even better maps in months to come. The additional maps that were avail for COD4 weren't so good IMO.
I love pretty much everything about this game, graphics, game play, weapon selections, the perks, custom kill streaks, challenges, etc are on point. And I'm just referencing ONLINE play. I honestly haven't played a campaign on a FPS since Resistance. I've played Special Ops on MWF2 and that's pretty fun too!
Best FPS I've played to date. 3 weeks in release and I have 1 day, 16 hrs of online time. SAD yes but oh SO fun!
What's great about it: Customized kill streaks, Multi-Perks, Awesome Maps, Weapons Selection, & joining your friends game (PS3)
What's not so great: Ability to keep your friends on your side of the team during online play (unless I'm missing something)
