Cool.
Not surprising, the game is really good.
COD 4 is the best multiplayer experience available at the moment
...Gears of War, Like Halo 3, did not sit well with me in terms of on-line play. GOW was laggy as hell if you didn't have a top notch connection. I hate the physics with Halo 3 - all that jumping and jumping....and jumping.
COD4 is in one word...brilliant. It will be in the top 5 on-line games for the 360 for a long time yet.
I agree, it's good to see taste and gameplay prevail for once.
It hasn't ousted Halo, probably never will, but nonetheless, good to see it jump in the face of overzealous hype.
