It's just a little bit longer until Infinity Ward's baby is released for all the world to see. So what do you think it will be like? What are your expectations?

Here's a short list of mine:

-The game will disappoint. Millions of people will feel that they got their money's worth, but there will be plenty of pissed-off fanboys that will run straight back to COD4.

-The Metacritic ranking will be in the high 80s to low 90s, at about 91% to 93%. The lack of innovation will drag it down for some.

-You will play as a bad guy in the story, or at the least someone with a very different perspective.

-Multiplayer will be horribly unbalanced - because of all the effort put into creating variety and action.

For anyone that has purchased the map packs, do you know if you can purchase any map pack by itself? Or do you need #1 to get #2, #2 to get #3, and so on?

When a co-op partner serves as nothing more than a liability, and limits all your powers by means of putting herself in danger or using up all your items. Examples: Resident Evil 5 or Mercenaries 2.
