I'll get Call of Duty 4, the WWII sequel on PS2 and 360 (Since they're different games), and Call of Duty 4 part 2 when they all get cheap.

That was something noted that they were very aware of in COD4 and something they worked very hard on eliminating.

I'm content waiting to get them cheap. I've enjoyed COD2 on the 360, COD Finest Hour and COD2 Big Red One on the PS2, and have COD3 on the 360 waiting for time to play one of these days. By then Call of Duty 4 and World at War on the 360 and PS2 (Different games I hear, like what was done with previous Call of Duty's before COD3) should all be $20. And by the time I get around to playing those, Modern Warfare 2 should be $20, lol.

If it helps the Call of Duty fans any to realize I don't hate the franchise, I'll be buying Call of Duty day 1 on XBLA (And hoping the expansion see's a release as DLC) since I always wanted to play them but never got around to buying these previousily PC exclusive titles.

I've did the same thing with Halo, another series I enjoy but never quite saw what made it so special in the eyes of many, especially after enjoying things like Half-Life and many other first person shooters before playing it. Have Halo 1 & 2 but waiting for 3 to get down to $20 and will buy all these other Halo games when they're cheap someday.

I think its mostly that while I don't mind gamepads for single player portions of first person shooters, I prefer the keyboard/mouse for the higher pace nature of online multiplayer so that aspect of them tends to not be a big selling point to me. So its easy to wait since the single player aspect of them isn't worthy of $60 (And is ignored by many, probably including a few of you that posted in here).

it was fun though, just not fun on insane.

But what was happening in the level we were shown from the new game was different, the IW guys explained. Absent from that level and from the game are the infinite enemy spawn points that were criticized in Modern Warfare. Bowling said the new game's enemies have "dynamic AI," meaning that they are designed to act more independently of what the designers map out. He said a player could expect them to be more sensitive to gamer behavior, going beyond the flanking and cover strategies of the enemies in the first game to break their patrol routes, or take to roofs. They're smarter. And they will adapt enough that a Modern Warfare 2 player won't be able to rely on the enemies being in the same places and doing the same things each time they play a level.

Like I said before, the plots of both HL games were very strong, but I don't think the games were flawless.
