I just came off a binge playing since way past when I should've gone to bed and I must say I'm really happy with the MP at first glance.
Everyone is really harping on it and even though I can relate to some of the stuff that irks people you really have to take it for what it is. Basically this is the bastard child of MW and BFBC2, which I find really enjoyable. The frantic phase of most matches is very similar to MW/MW2 and you get the teamplaying aspects of BC2 without most vehicles (been tank/chopper raped enough so I find this to be a good thing. People can't drive.). The unlockables does seem quite meager at this point but I found myself using the guns I liked the most anyways, and the lack of double shotty sprint fags is heartening.
Overall I'd say the experience was pretty brutal and refreshing. Twitch is essential since recoil is negligeble, and the ammount of rounds you take before you die is lower than the half clip sprays you had to put into people to kill em in BC2. No killcam was something I was worried about at first but after a while I realized that it really isn't necessary and actually improved my situational awareness, besides, the opponents doesn't get killcams either :D. Towards the later stages of my session I found myself in a 1on1 with an opponent, I was in the middle of a reload so I desperately tried to lunge the 5 ft with the knife. He proceeded to paint the hut with my brains and I found myself grinning. Fuck you Commando, fuck you.
One gripe though, the objective based map from the open beta, Shahikot mountain something something really suck ass with boring teams, since it almost always filled with snipers and the geography is pretty much one big choke point. The other maps was highly enjoyable though, a bit lackluster when playing TDM maybe.
So, is anyone else enjoying the MP or am I completely alone?
