Not me.

But I'm probably going to get Goldeneye Wii on Tuesday.

I'll probably rent it when I get the chance.

a $150 standard first person shooter that will be $19.99 at EB in 2 years? pass. IMO there have been so many COD's the market is saturated with them. honestly, i cant tell the difference between any of them. There is nothing new.

I will if I can find a prestige edition....



And wait, what? Goldeneye Wii?

MW2 came with night vision goggles. Black Ops comes with an R/C Car equipped with mic and camera....

I don't understand this post. The standard edition will be $60 like almost every other new release. And why does it matter what it will be in 2 years? I don't buy games as an investment.

I think he means he's in no rush to play it.

In many ways, the Call of Duty franchise has become like the Need for Speed franchise of a few years ago. Remember how every year there was a new NFS? Underground, Underground 2, Most Wanted, Carbon, ProStreet, Undercover, Shift, Nitro, Turbo, World, etc, etc, etc. And at the same time the racing genre was the popular genre, just as shooters have been the popular genre ever since Halo 2 turned it into a "sport". Remember all the other racing franchise there were? Gran Turismo, Burnout, Midnight Club, Project Gotham, MX/ATV, Driver, Forza Motorsport, etc.

Personally, I'm on the fence. I've got Halo Reach for my FPS needs. But some of the guys at work are betting on who can Prestige the first. I want some of that action. It all depends what my work schedule is like at launch.

God no. World at War was very mediocre and I suspect this will be just as underwhelming. I'll give it a shot with a rental if it get's a half decent write up on IGN or something but otherwise this is a total pass for me.
