MW3 is 1 week old!

Before the release of mw3 there was a lot of hype and a lot of speculation whether or not this game is going to hold up. There were rumors that it was going to bomb, that it was too much like mw2, that its all been done before and the list goes on and on. I went to the midnight launch and picked up not only a copy of mw3 hardened edition but i brought the console aswell! Now its officially been out a week and i am nearly second prestige i feel that i have played the game long enough to make a opinion that is fair and not judgmental from its first appearance. By first appearance the game visually reminds you of mw2 but when you are playing you can tell that the game is very different. A common view is that the game just "flows" and it truly does. It feels so smooth as you move around the maps. They have also seemed to cater for all players weapon wise. They have brought back quick scoping and it is more fluent and easy than ever, no scoping is also very common. The sub machine guns are powerful.. think mp40 from world at war. Everything seems equally powerful when equipped with the right thing. I have 2 complaints. my first complaint is the maps. They are all the same style. They are twisty streets with rubble and debris everywhere. There are no open maps or at least differently styled. I can honestly say that some of the maps when you select them in lobby i cannot tell which is which because they are so alike. My second complaint is that i purchased the call of duty hardened edition and the elite service which is the only reason you would purchase it has not been available for use due to them "not expecting so many people". What i don't understand is they would have known there site traffic numbers for elite before hand and they would have knows there pre-order/production numbers. Yesterday was the first day i was able to access the website while others have been able to get online from day one. The one thing i want to do and haven't been able to is to create a clan. All in all i understand that this is a new feature and i expect them to have problems with it. All in all so far im loving the game and i think that mw3 should be a part of everyone's gaming collection.
