did anybody else enjoy the double xp a couple weekends ago? I started at about level 30 (normal) and at the end I was level 5 first prestige... now a few days later I am level 39 first prestige lol

Ugh... I hate ALL the shotties 'cept Stakeout with Grip. Little hint; the range on the Create-a-class doesn't look great, but the shot stays together for much longer than the Spas.

the Doc is correct the stakeout with grip is amazing especially on maps like Nuketown.

I have stopped playing this game because it's making my Reach skills rusty.

Reach is okay but it doesn't seem to have much thats different from Halo 3 to me..

Not going to start a war between COD and Halo since I love both games, but Call of Duty hasn't come up with anything new since COD: 4. I think Black Ops was the last game in the COD series to actually bring something new to the table, but it was still the same. Half the features in Black Ops were borrowed from Halo anyway. Theater, Contracts, and File Share were all from Halo.

I agree Swash but there is an old saying... "if it aint broken don't fix it" they haven't done much since COD 4 because COD 4 was amazing I still love to play it now and again and they have improved it and made it even better with black ops sure theater and things like that are from HALO but I didn't care about it on HALO 3 and I still don't on black ops lol.... and to be honest Bungie hasn't changed a whole lot on halo either I mean when you get down to the core of the game the guns are almost the same the story doesn't change much and the multi-player is practically the same
now COD: the storyline COD 4 and MW2 are the same which they should be (since MW2 is the sequal) WAW is totally different and black ops' honestly I don't care much for it it's confusing (but the point is it's different.) and the multi-player is well, its the same as all the COD games but it's still amazing so in the end they are both great games so there is nothing to debate about lol

To get off of the game war topic, anyone else prefer Treyarch's dark, gritty style over IW? Or is it just me? :P

Have to agree with you there, Dan. Every time I play a Treyarch game, I always experience a few moments where I just jump. Zombies in WaW, and Nova 6 in BO. But MW and MW 2 just don't make me THAT excited. So, Treyarch for the win!

I always got the feeling (except with black ops) that Treyarch was to hung up on world war two.. Call of duty 3.. Treyarch... WAW... Treyarch. now there is nothing really wrong with that. WAW was the best WW2 game I've ever played but they have seriously made way to many games on that war. I would love to see something set in Vietnam or Korea or even WW1 you know... something that hasn't been done much.

Well, Treyarch did make Black Ops in the Vietnam era, and I hear Toy Soldiers is making a Cold War themed game for XBL Arcade. Also Toy Soldiers already made a WW1 themed game. Also if WaW is the best WWII game you've ever played, then you need to play Medal of Honor: Frontline.

Ah, the ol' Medal of Honor. Still remember my old edition of Midway, and the hopelessness I felt during the first mission.

And trust me, unless you like standing in one place in a trench, shooting a rifle, or if you're lucky, a MG, shooting bullets at enemies in another trench who peek their heads over every other 10 minutes and fire one bullet, a FPS WWI game will be pretty boring.

that was just an example that there are plenty of other wars to make games on Jack... and swash Black ops is actually cold war... and also MOH frontline is amazing one of my favorite games ever but the best WW2 game as far as actual story graphics etc is WAW

isn't the first mission going after Castro or something like that? didn't that happen during the cold war?
