Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare – I just got it!

It was almost a really, really freakin sad Tuesday night.  I went to the local Gamestop.  When i got there some guy was trying to return an Xbox 360 with a serial number that didn’t match the one on his receipt and well Gamestop basically told him that they wouldn’t accept the Xbox360 unless the serial number matched the receipt.  So remember that. Don’t go out and buy a new one and think you can put your old one in the box and return it.  Gamestop is on to you already fools.

So why was he returning it?  Apparently whenever he put a disc into the Xbox 360 he gets an error saying that its not a valid Xbox 360 disc.  The remedy from what I heard from another customer is you have to keep opening up the xbox and closing the xbox until it reads the disc.  I’ve never had this problem with my PS2 or PS3 yet, knock on wood.  So there is another reason why you shouldn’t get an Xbox 360.  They are expensive and the hardware is cheap = rip-off.

Ok, sorry for starting this topic off with that little story, but when I went to Gamestop I waited 10 minutes for all that to happen only to find out that Call of Duty 4 had sold out.  I had them call the White Marsh Gamestop and they were sold out too.  This is really starting to suck.

So, i remember years ago when i bought my PS2 the day it came out, I went to Toys R Us near my house.  I’m not sure if people have forgotten that it is there or what not but everytime I’ve needed to get something like a PS2 or a game, they have always had it in stock.  So, I pressed my luck and gave it another try.  Sure enough they had like 10 copies of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.  Winner, winner!  5 minutes later I’m the proud owner of a new PS3 game.

 A couple of quick things about the game.  #1, its beautiful.  The graphics are astounding.  But more importantly, #2, the gameplay is exciting and fast paced.  I don’t want to give anything away, but the first mission is really well done.  I felt I was in a movie.  So go buy it, play it, and tell me if I’m crazy.  I think this game totally owns Halo 3.  The Multiplayer game is alot of fun and unique too.  You start of with no XP points.  The more kills you make, the more XP you get and you get to unlock things in the game by earning XP.  A very neat feature to make multiplayer even cooler then it normally is.  Now, you’re actually out there fighting to get XP.

Well, i just wanted to tell you, I give this game clearly 2 thumbs up, 10 out of 10, 5 out of 5 stars, and so on.

So, stop reading this and go buy it.  Meet me online sometime to you punks…my name on my PS3 is IJoeR316.  Don’t be surprised if i snipe you.
