Some of you may know I got the COD5 multiplayer BETA about a month or two ago and, unlike, some of you guys that are just now downloading the demo off of Marketplace the new factor has worn of on me and it's just a copy/paste COD4 with different weapons and maps. I personally do not feel like redoing what I've already done with an indentical game(COD4) so here is my mulitplayer games I'll be playing this year.

Left 4 Dead: Valve and Co-op is already enough to make me buy anything. They have decided to throw hordes of zombies at you, but with The AI director which will make every zombie encounter new and unique. They've also got the man behind Halo matchmaking working on it for easier co-op matchmaking. Hard to think that the Beta is out tommorow if you pre-orded(If it has co-op on the Beta send me your gamertag and we can play later).

Gears of War 2: GoW had a good multiplayer, but you couldn't join a party and it was incredibly unbalaced. Epic has stated that they will fix these issues and all of the reviews have pointed out it will be great online.(The shotgun is no longer as powerfull so it gives the game a little bit more diversity because you can now use other guns).

Resistance 2:Co-op, 60 player deathmatch and team-deathmatch, and 2 campaigns. Yeah.

I hope that maybe, just maybe, some of you may consider something other than COD5 this year and give something new a chance.

Off-topic: COD5 zombies...can they please just stick to their own formula. And yes, I might be somewhat of a COD hater. DON'T JUDGE ME!!!
