Now the grenades don't go as far so you can't shower an objective while en-route. Pulling your weapon out after sprinting is noticeably slower and pulling up the irons or optic is even slower still which in online games has meant less of the run and gun. Also shooting on the move makes you far less accurate. In CoD 4 shooting on the move didn't result in a great loss of accuracy, where is now it does. In a lot of ways it seems as if IW has forced the player back to principals of cover and concealment. However, that doesn't mean there won't be people running and gunning still, even with the penalties in place. So 360 degree security is still important so you don't get a throwing knife in the back by some sneaky flanker. All and all this version is once again the best yet.

Pre-ordered for PS3. I'll pick it up at the store on the 10th or close to it, I'm sure. Never had a COD game so hopefully it's simple enough to let the beginners have fun a few hours a week at the low levels.

No, but honestly, it somewhat surprises me that there is still any market for PC versions of new games like this one, considering the popularity of laptop computers these days versus desktops and the low entry price and huge convenience factor of a new gaming box like the Xbox 360 Arcade.

You might need to pick up a descent video card.

Know if they're big maps? i.e. anything like Bad Company maybe? I like how there's room to move in that game. Regardless, I'll be getting it and I'm sure it'll be fun and challenging.
