Is that 6 hours playing it on Veteran or just the normal difficulty? I'll probably get it eventually, but not at full price. I've got next to no interest in playing games online so it really annoys me when single player/campaign modes in games take a back seat.

Is there a way to change the referee's kit colour on Fifa? Makes no sense playing a side all in black/navy when the ref wears black too, can be confusing.

Normal but still, the missions are really short and the story is cheesey on an American action movie level.
The fact killstreaks continue after death means there are far too many UAV's to play any other way than running around like a madman

Dolphin Dive? Whazzat?
Whilst I'm not a big fan of the big weaponary killstreaks (although I have found it funny being on a losing team, getting a random weapon crate with Attack Dogs or Gunship in it and ending up winning the match with it), the contracts, COD points and Wager matches were strokes of genius. Especially Gun Games.

It's only support rewards that don't reset. And the simple way to counter the constant UAV is to just use the assassin perk. Which you should always be using anyway. Get a silencer equipped, with Assassin Pro and Dead Silence, and you can happily run around the map completely undetectable on the radar. Happy days.
I actually quite enjoy playing each new iteration of cod, for a short while at least. The best mode by a mile is Team Tactical. Get three mates to play with you and it can be a good laugh - the matches are a much slower pace and the constant rotation of game types keeps it interesting.
And how can anyone not like Black Ops? Some genuinely original ideas brought to the franchise, and it had tomahawks. Instant win, especially when you can nail someone right in the face with one across the entire stretch of a map like I managed to do! It was glorious!

Yeah I would use Assassin but I'm not at that level to unlock it.

I won a copy of MW3 at work, took me 5 hours to complete the campaign on normal. Fairly average I thought.
The multiplayer is just MW2 part 2. The maps are ok, but it's just so uninspired. Such a shame as COD:4 was bliss, no game since then has come close.
Shame on you Activision and the staff who didn't leave Infinity Ward, I'd happy play MW1 if it hadn't been hacked to death too, this is what the games industry is getting like nowadays. All the AAA devs and producers like Activision/IW are just too scared to change a winning formula, no innovation because it costs so much money to develop games.
Thats why seeing a game like Minecraft become successful is a breath of fresh air, hopefully we will continue to see more of these indie devs, if only to cancel out the corporate greed from producers who constantly pimp out their IP's at our expense in getting shoddy games like MW3.

I love the hate COD gets. Usually from people who can't play the game properly or are just useless at first person shooters in general. My only criticism so far is that the maps are a little samey. I only play online so the game is great for me. Very balanced.
