Pre-ordered this at the weekend.

I reckon the remote control car bombs are gonna prove VERY popular in PH online games! hehe

I usually dislike Treyarch but this looks amazing!

The crossbow the blows people up looks like fun as does the rc car!

Not going to pre-order until I see some of the offers, Argos did silly trade ins for RDR and I got MW2 on a walk in at Sainsburys for silly money too

I'm really looking forward to this already. After WaW was such a disappointment after COD4, this one already looks like its going to move the game on from MW2. Hopefully it will reach its potential this time, and make Infinity Ward look like a bunch of mugs.

It looks awesome! especially the video editing stuff. It does seem like the player movement and gun physics is identical to Battlefield.

When is this due out then? My xbox live membership has expired and this looks like it would be a good reason to renew.

Having watched the trailer I'm not that excited about it. The basic core gameplay looks exactly the same, just the killstreak rewards differ, and I think that the novelty will soon wear off.

Why no vehicles? Battlefield is lightyears ahead in that regard.

I guess the games just have slightly different aims. Battlefield focuses on a wider battle-type situation. Whilst COD tends to focus on fast paced action. Battlefield is and excellent game but sometime I just find it a bit slow as you can be out of the action for a few minutes in every game just moving forward (the new spawn on a team mate has combated this slightly). But in MW2 you are usually engaging someone within 10-15 seconds of a respawn. The guns and movement just feels better than in BF too.

As a pc player i am certainly looking forward to this.

That demo looks great! It looks like the attention to detail on the maps was quite smart aswell!

Also noticed right at the end the save replay function.

I just pre ordered for the xbox through Tesco for £33.17, using codes GAMES5OFF-1 (gives £5 off pre-order) as well as FTSL15-1 (gives 15% off).
Hope this helps someone.

As mentioned above, some supermarkets may (hopefully) have an offer on the release day at midnight.

Nah, if they use MX5s we'll all be standing around it, protecting it.

Maybe we'll stab a team mate if he decides to stand on it, too.
