Agreed, bro... That was epic, groundbreaking stuff.
But why they felt that putting it in a six-hour campaign would be a good thing, I'll never know. Compare it to the awesomeness that is Rfom and you see what could have been achieved with just a little more development.

I agree with Charlitos. I really did enjoy MW2's campaign, it was a good story, and it was action packed. The multiplayer was just total garbage though. So many glitches and stuff that needed to be fixed but IW couldn't be bothered to do so.

Can't wait for this, do you think they're going to relate the story to Osama's death lol? Obvs not put Osama in the game or anything but like maybe we go and kill a head terrorist (at his mansion Lol) and then they retaliate and we defend America?!

IGN reported that IW (or the team that's left), Raven Software, and Sledgehammer games will all be making MW3. IGN also reported that MW3 will be making destructible environments and larger maps, geez I think I've heard this before, oh that's right, Battlefield! Anyway, I was fooled into buying BLOPS, barely even play it now. I found that it was the same MP but with a few twists. Player Card was alright I guess. I realize that zombies and wager matches were cool. But, after playing WAW, MW, and MW2, the core mechanics are getting a little old.

I'm looking forward to it myself. I like the SP, despite how short they are, they do tend to be well done up, fast and exciting.

This time the SP story actually has my attention. I'll keep watching to see if it will turn me off/bore me or actualy intrigue me enough to get it for the SP. I know I wouldn't be getting it for the MP thats for sure.

If I get this game, it will be far after release, as it comes out three days before Skyrim. And I'll be playing Skyrim so much that it won't be able to walk straight.
Fans of Call fo Duty (COD) can count the last game released in the series as a turning point. Until now you could buy the game, take it home, and play it online and offline to your heart’s content without spending another dollar while experiencing the full game (map packs excluded, of course). With the next game in the series, that is no longer going to be the case.
During a Q1 earnings call held yesterday, Activision confirmed that the next COD release will come with premium online features. That means buying the game will not be the end of your spending in order to experience all that COD has to offer in terms of multiplayer features.
Activision has not revealed specifics about what premium features means other than to say it will be “further online monetization.” That translates to gamers paying for more than just map packs this time round, and could even see them having to sign-up for a subscription.
The next COD game is set to be revealed within the coming weeks and is expected to put a much bigger emphasis on online features and social interaction. The developer behind the game is called Beachhead and has been working on the title under a veil of mystery alongside a new Activision business unit put in place to push these new premium features.
Importantly, Bobby Kotick has stated that everything seen in previous COD games will be there when you buy the boxed copy. Premium services will be in addition to those features which ties in to the mentioned new emphasis for online.
Rumors of premium features for the series first appeared in January when Wedbush Securities made Activision stock a top pick due to potential for it to “monetize a second tier of multiplayer online gaming ” in COD. Now we know it is going to happen, but if Kotick is true to his word, not to the detriment of the core gaming experience.
Matthew’s Opinion
I can’t help but wonder how Activision has decided to walk that fine line between genuine premium features and pure greed.
The COD series is by far the most profitable on the market and earns Activision millions of dollars with every release. Introducing premium online features will be accepted by some players if they see the benefit of them. Players who just want the online experience they had in previous releases must get that too just by purchasing the game. If some of those features move to the premium list then Activision cannot in good faith sell the game at the same high price point.
This is where Kotick’s assurance comes in. He has stated for the record that the core COD experience will remain part of the boxed copy you buy. Premium will be brand new features only. If that’s the case no one can really complain and gamers can choose to invest further if they wish.

As long is Kotick is telling the truth (lol) in that the core elements of the game will remain intact with the retail copy then I see no problem with this. Though I think I'll decide if the game is worth it before I drop a monthly subscription for bonus stuff.
