I played last night for about 3 hours. I will hopefully never have to do a midnight launch again. With the game pre-loaded on my console, the Day Zero edition unlocked right at 10, and it was awesome!
Some impressions:
Single Player - If you have played a Call of Duty game you know what you are getting. Big set pieces, a clean 6 hour experience and that is about it. I am about 4 missions in and one nod I will give is the story seems a heck of lot easier to follow then previous games. Having an actor like Kevin Spacey elevates the story a bit, and there is no jumping around to other viewpoints like previous games.
Multiplayer:
-Oh boy, so the big change in this is you can now double jump (thanks to the exo) and also strafe quickly left/right/back/forward. It adds a speed and vertical awareness to the maps that was not available before. Guns also feel good. Like really good. Shooting someone feels much more satisfying then Ghosts. It also feels like Black Ops in its "Pick 13" for perks. (Black Ops had Pick 10)
All in all, really enjoying this one so far, and I'd say reviews are right on at about 7.5-8. Not gonna redfine the genre, but a return to some great Call of Duty action.
