    It has knocked COD4 out of my top spot. Totally new addiction. Best World War 2 game ever as far as playing in Multiplayer. Should be in top 5 games of 2008.

    I don't know but if you've loved COD4, you'll hate COD5 at first.

    It's a game that grows on you EXTREMELY FAST.
    You won't be able to part from it.
    And I just played the multiplayer beta..

    There are very few 360 and PS3 games that display natively at 1080P.

    Most games from both systems natively display at 720P or around that and then are upscaled to 1080P for those that have 1080P displays.

    360 games look fine on my 1080P television but I haven't been able to compare a 360 and PC version of a game on the TV to really see the difference.

    Never tried split screen on pc. I don't think that's an option. But you'll love the multiplayer. It takes sometime to adapt from cod4, but once you do you'll love it. To me it feel more tactical like you need to slow down and take cover, although you can run and gun you'll get chopped down more often, so yeah it feels real. I haven't played Cod4 for awhile just because I was loving this and I tried to go back but now I notice this jitteryness to cod4's graphics, maybe I think that's why I have this twitching in my eye. Still love the cod4 though and I hope the community doesn't vanish because of w@w.

    I like both CoD4 and CoD5 multiplayer too! :D

    That's what happened to me when I played the beta... :p So glad that they have a beta for me to try before the game comes out so that I know if I like it or not. :) Bought it on the first day and enjoying it a lot. Almost at level 61 now... :D

    Edit: found myself going back to some of the early guns (such as BAR and MP40) and got this very satisfying screenshot just now... :D

    Did it with my trusty MP40 with extended clip. ;)
