Anyone else excited to buy this? I haven’t bought a Call of Duty game since MW3, but I’m pumped to get this and play it with the boys again. Hopefully the campaign is similar to Big Red One. I miss looking at my squad and seeing names like “Pvt. Dawkins” pop up by their character.

I would always concoct backstories in my head for each character, so when I saw Corporal Stohl get blown the fuck up by a mortar, I would think about how his Ma Joad-esque mother would react when she heard the news her old son and last living vestige of her dead husband (who died of tuberculosis) was killed two seconds into a battle in some town she'd never heard of.

Haven't played a COD in a long while, and sadly on PC with FPS, you run into a PLETHORA of cheating bastards. So sadly, it's co-op FPS or nothing for me. I do miss that airport map in MW. Man, I had some fun times loading up with an SMG and going prone at the end of the hallway.

I did the exact same thing man. It added more of an emotional feel to the story honestly. I just watched a YouTube video of the first mission, and they added it back in! There was a guy by the tank and when the guy playing looked toward him, “Sgt. Jones” popped up.

Especially with search and destroy. I’d always lay in the bushes atop of the escalators and snipe people that turn around the corner.

Easily the best map they had in that game made even better that it was rare for someone to noob tube you at your spawn point. God, I fucking hated that map with all the trenches (it's been forever so I don't remember the actual map names) where I swear there was always at least one guy who was able to snipe with that god damn tube and hit my ass within three steps of starting the game.

Noob tubes were the worst in MW2 holy shit. Especially on Wasteland (the map with trenches that lead to a bunker in the middle of the map). People had it down to a tee where to aim on there. The map looked like this:

I gotta say, though, it annoyed me whenever I'd clear a mission and see the name of a soldier who had obviously bitten the dust pop up. "SMITH? I watched a panzer blow your ass halfway to Belgium earlier!"

Yeah, will be the first COD I will have bought since BOps 2. Played the most recent ones a friends house long ago and they were ghastly. So glad they’ve gone back to good old fashioned run and gun combat, where I don’t have worry about a guy shooting me from 100 ft in the air.

Yes I haven't been this excited for any video game to this extent for a really long time. I've been playing Call of Duty since I was 10 although the last one I bought was Modern Warfare III. But I'm hoping to get an Xbox One for my birthday in a week just so I can play this (My laptop isn't good for gaming).
I'm especially excited for the campaign. The incredible graphics really help give a cinematic quality to the trailers and apparently the story will be entering darker territory than most games in the series. Hopefully, it'll be at World At War levels of brutality and horror. One of the campaigns also has you playing a female French Resistance fighter so that could be a pretty cool change of pace.
If anyone hasn't seen the story trailer, here it is. I think it looks amazing!

I played the campaign for about 20 minutes or so (including all of the cutscenes, so only a few minutes of actually moving around), and I can already tell you that it’s brutal.
