Soldier of Fortune.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

I was once a great game, like you... then I took an arrow in the knee.

To get out of work and play this game again. I played it for hours after the midnight launch, and I had a ton of fun.

I went to Best Buy at midnight last night, there were over a hundred people waiting in line inside the building. They had fog machines, MW3/army decorations, and the employees were dressed in MW3 swag. It was pouring rain outside, everyone was excited to get home and play - so it was a great, friendly atmosphere.

What was your experience like last night?

Valve, I love you. But, fuck you, give us HL3 and CS2 (forget CS:GO).

Sorry gentlemen, just had to get that out.

I think you mean "Man, the internet".

It's what the internet's for - complaining. It's why they only talk about 'bad' things on the news, because saying positive things doesn't pose an arguement. Most people would just not go out of their way to make a 'This is the best game evarrrr!' thread, it either won't go anywhere or they'll be flamed. But, all it takes is one person who's really frustrated to start going crazy about all the things wrong with the game... it makes other people notice and look out for those negative things too. I'm glad there are ppl still around that can just enjoy a good fuckin flawed game, and not bitch like they're on jersey shore about every little detail.

As a die-hard BF3 fan, I voted 5/5. I went out at midnight to get MW3 last night, just to have some fun, not because I was that excited for the game. I've played a good amount of every previous COD, so I felt like I've seen it all. Obviously, because of the party atmosphere at the store, I got a little more excited. When I got home I fired up the multiplayer. Coming from BF3 (And not having played BlackOps for about 6 months), these are my initial reactions to the gameplay - Smooth (The gameplay just feels amazing, even though its the same as before, lol), Great Maps/Layout (Love the look/atmosphere of the maps and the layouts make the small maps feel big, because there are many different ways to go), Back to the MW2 unlock system (Forget that Black Ops money bullshit, i don't want to decide, just give me what I've earned), Those dumbass avatars from Black Ops are gone (everyone just had a dick or some shit anyways), Lots of weapon choices (Even though a bunch feel like MW2).

Even though this game is undeniably MW 2.5, and I really came into this game thinking I was going to play it for 5 minutes then go back to BF3... I love it. There's not much different, I don't understand why the game is as fun as it is, it just feels good to play it. I had the complete opposite happen with Black Ops, I hated it from the start. I did like MW2 more than BO, but no COD has ever gave me the enjoyment of MW3. It just feels right.

ya and BF3 disappointed but the advertisement helped.

I think the advertising made it worse. They advertised this game to be the next modern warfare when it's not, it's a completely different experience, for a different kind of gamer. I love BF3, but I wish the advertising would go away, it's leaving a bad taste in my mouth.

Wait, does it really matter what the review scores are? Even if the game was rated 1/10, do you think a MW2/BlackOps player wouldn't buy it? It's MW2 with a map pack and a couple new game modes.

Just for the record, I am still going to buy it though, lol. Even if it was rated terribly!

Some UK site gave it 5/5, google it.
