Whats funny? I'm getting it for PC though BLOPS ran like shit due to being CPU limited.

BLOPS wasn't just CPU limited, it was just all messed up. And never completely fixed either.

However, due to this using the late Infinity Ward's fork of the engine, I would bet this runs a lot better. It really shouldn't be any harder on systems than MW2.

It's too bad they're nerfing dedicated servers. I can't support that.

I've had Hardened for the 360 preordered for months now. I really don't care about the campaign, but I am all for the multi. If the dedis turn out well then I will probably pick up the PC version, too. I excite!

I was planning on it. Black Ops on PC is way too fun. I wanted to keep going with some of my buddies, but without Dedicated Servers and basic PC options (FOV Slider...ehem) I won't bother until I find a massive deal.

Superb OP. I'm actually coming up with strategies reading it.

My wife and children have been advised and my body is ready.

Haha. Was that already done? I didn't read all 4 pages.
Nice OP. My backlog is about to get even more neglected.

Are they making this more like the glorious, broken mess that is MW2? I liked that game a lot more than I did in retrospect. Much more than boring Black Ops at least.

Hypeeeeeee.

It's a shame it's coming out so close to BF3, I don't have time to play both as much as I want to :(

Just play whichever one you prefer at the time. When I want a quick fix, this will be my go-to fps.

Great informative OP!

My $80 360 MW3 Hardened edition pre-order from my local bestbuy is all set for midnight release! One more week! :)

My favorite OT of the year for sure. I'm not even that hyped for MW3 and was set to not buy this year, but as always they reel me back in.

Really love how clean everything is in the OT. Super well done.

Anyone know of a place in the U.S. that sells the game online/pre-order online that takes PayPal and has good shipping to show up on release day?

The COD ELITE stuff does not look like it is worth $50 a year, especially on top of an XBox Live subscription.

It's aimed at the hardcore CoD guys who are going to be playing as much as possible and will buy the DLC no matter what. If you fall into that camp then there's no reason not to.

I only got the Hardened edition off Amazon because I had a $20 credit from buying Gears of War 3. That knocked it down to $80 for me. And I figured $80 for the game and all the DLC (which is going to be a lot more than $20) was a great deal. When they said the DLC would remain functional even if you let Elite expire, I was sold.

Hell yeah, explosions, bombs and testosterone pumping. That's what these games are all about, and it's nice to have every once in a while.

I'm ready. For the past couple of years I've been telling myself I'll wait a while to pick up CoD, but once friends start playing and talking about the MP, I know I can't resist.

I just wanted to say that Activision's decision to not sell the Hardened edition in Spain because Elite won't be available in Spanish day one is total bullshit. Couldn't they give the card anyways, and make it redeemable whenever the service is in Spanish? Or at least sell the game with the special box? Also, does that mean that there is no chance for us to be Founder Members?

I don't really care about any multiplayer FPS (TF2 aside), but my brother basically plays every Call of Duty since Modern Warfare every day, and this sucks a lot. Dick move, Activision, dick move.

Still only one, maybe two good perks in each tier.

Why?

The Specialist Streaks are interesting, but Death Streaks coming back is silly.

Dutch pr0n actress Kim Holland isn't welcome on the MW3 launch event. Hilarious Google translation here. "I say this: a sperm shower rather than a massacre." I have to say I concur.
