There's much talk in the gaming world about this series and developer Infinity Ward, but with the help of the more-than-competent Sledgehammer Games, we walked away from the event confident that IW could not only deliver the same quality as their previous two entries, but top them. Yes you've seen much of what this series is about before, but they've dialled everything up to 11 here, and come this Holiday season, the team will no doubt have another blockbuster on their hands.

I played have clocked roughly 100 hours of bad company 2 on ps3/pc whereas between cod4,cod6,cod7 I have played about 50. Despite the retarded movement and controls (no strafe+sprint etc etc) I prefer bf.

I can't see them doing anything radical to change the formula of the last couple years, so I expect it to be more of the same we've had from MW2 and BO's.

Yeah sure, Activision are milking every last drop in COD, and especially with the only ground breaking thing being a constant 60FPS, which I doubt, there is nothing really new. From the leaks, everything just looks re-skinned or rehashed. But, it still looks fun, and I'll probably acquire the SP for some fun, but ignore the MP at large, as they haven't really struck out with MP since MW1. I can see the modes only being TDM, DM, CTF, DOM, SND, HQ and Sabotage.

It's not hard to top bad or so I thought after Black Ops came out.

If this can continue on from Modern Warfare 2 without the characteristics of the s*** stain that is Black Ops, I think the SP will be awesome, albeit nothing new. In terms of multiplayer it is going to have to compare to BF3 so have any chance of being acceptable in 2011. It appears PC players are over Black Ops already, I couldn't find more than 2 populated servers on a bloody Friday night.

COD4 was awesome, mw2 just tried too hard, had terrible gameplay, poor design and tried too many gimmicks.

Both have their pros and cons, tbh i think cod has been going downhill since mw2, CoD 4 was really epic and should have stopped there. But since i got my new machine i've been playing a lot more of BF then black ops simply because it's just a more polished game. Also CoD1 > all other cods, 2nd best fps behind CS before all the f***wits started playing.

Sad thing is. Its articles like this that get the hits. So gaming journo's and sites have to sign such agreements. After all, they need all the traffic to the site they can get.
Its also possible I'm being harsh coz I don't share a lot of love for CoD these days. But just my 2 cents.

The question that readers of any game preview article need to keep in mind is "Will the rest of the game maintain or exceed the standard of this section?" That's something that can't be answered by a reporter until they've spent enough time with the completed product, which obviously isn't possible at an event like this.
It's also an unfinished product, so any bugs that might be encountered along the way carry little weight, because at this stage of development, it's only fair to give the devs the benefit of that doubt that obvious things like that will be corrected by launch time.
So yes, you're right to remain cautious, but that doesn't mean a preview has no worth. There's still plenty of interesting info to be had for those that are keen to start forming an idea of what's in store. You might come across some doubt and skepticism in a preview from time to time, but realistically, don't ever expect an outright negative opinion, because calling fail on a game based on that kind of limited information would be a mistake.

Similar to all EA games now. Stopping second hand copies. Like if you buy FIFA second hand you have to buy a new online account for 10 bucks or something. Same with Bad company 2.

They are aiming at the same people though, the BF3 guys have openly admitted they want to compete with COD and steal some of those players away. While some people will probably get both, I think a lot of people are going to end up playing one or the other, so a comparison between the two is inevitable.
