@creepshow2: also, "high speed" broadband in USA is DRASTICALLY different speeds. The fastest my ISP offers is 60 Mbps. Downloading a patch is already long and painful. I can't imagine having to download the entire base game first as well. It'll be: ALRIGHT NEW GAME! LET'S PLAY!!! WAIT NO. GONNA TAKE ALL DAY TO DOWNLOAD. MAYBE MORE.

@nattydaddy604: it's because you don't own anything you purchase now. you are purchasing the privilege to access, where access can be revoked at any time for any reason listed in their terms. and these mega corps are definitely going to try to worm that into as many things as possible...

remember it was sony (music group) that said if you "backed up" (mp3) a copy of a song from a CD you own, you "stole" said song....

bit concerned about the whole "newbie friendly" part. then again, I haven't really played since mw3 and mw2 mercs.... maybe *I* am the newbie now haha. and ugh the graphics look very outdated.

Love how the whole post says how awesome it is and talks about plot and characters, but then doesn't bother to mention when it's released.
