COD MW3....What a Let Down

Well last week the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 video game was released, I went to the Bay City mall as soon as class got out to wait in line. At 12:15am I had gotten my game and was going out to my car, I rushed home to pop in in the xbox and play. Well the game has great graphic, as it should have, but the game play was just like Modern Warfare 2. But the biggest let down was the campaign length, most people I've talked to including myself have finished it between 4 and 5 hours. Now I know the multi player mode is what a lot of people buy the game for but i like to play the campaign as well and when I can beat the game in less then a quarter of a day then that's just not right. Most everyone that I've talked to were disappointed with the game, but were not with the multi player mode. I've only gotten to play the multi player mode once so far and it was great, I just can't wait to play online.
Although for the next game COD game, the game designers really need to think that if there ever was a foreign occupation in the continental U.S., that civilians and not just the military would be in the fight. I have talked with some of my friends and they agree that there should be a civilian mini campaign in the game. If done correctly it would make the game play more realistic, and entertaining.

COD MW3 at MIDNIGHT TONIGHT!!

The long awaited Call of Duty modern Warfare 3 (COD MW3) is being released tonight at midnight, one of the workers at GameStop in the bay city mall said that she thinks there will be around 500 or more people in line waiting for the game. I will be one of those people, the last time that I did this was back when Modern Warfare 2 was released. but of course back then I had to be up at 5am the following morning so it was a tiresome day that followed the release. but this time I don't have to be at Delta till 10am so I'll get a bit of sleep before class.
This is a sweet Live Action video than deals with COD MW2/

The demand for COD MW3 has been very high, but it's been even higher in France where recently a van carrying a shipment of the games was robbed after being hit with a car and the driver and passenger of the van getting sprayed with tear gas and using knives.  It was not reported it the driver and passenger were injured during the robbery, The thief's did get away with a large number of the game with an estimated value of around $570,663 at about $60 each, so that's around 9511 games. It was reported that another robbery took place on another van, with a car used to block the road before three men commandeered another delivery van and stole a further cache of MW3 worth similar value to the first.
Most recently a copy of the game sold for about $1,700 on eBay, this just shows how dedicated to the game some players are.
