It's fast, it's loads of fun. The Customization is just MAD -
I can't wait for Level 31 or so where I can change facepaint and all that.
The LAG issue is present even in single player. Treyarch are aware of and currently busy with a patch - so a fix is inbound prurdy soon.
It's a great change of pace for now.
The Single player campain is the best (so far) I've seen in any FPS game!
As for Servers, well there are about 400 billion servers in South Africa alone. The Friends join/invite/view thing needs a little work though.
All in all, I'd say this game is a MUST. If you've been ANTI-COD for years, you should still give it a go, it's the best they've produced, so if you still don't like it after seeing this one, then you'll never like a COD game EVER.
True, that there are a lot of Good players and you're likely to get your ass handed too you...but, even then, I still find I'm having a shed load of fun. (read: I'm getting my ass kicked)
You'll also find it's sporadic, you'll get absolutely pwned one round, then suddenly the next round you're pwning everyone else.
IF you're a a CODobia sufferer, I'd suggest you go spend an hour at a friend with CODBO and watch for a while, you might just be cured.
** EDIT ** Note that levelling up is QUICK @ 1st, then the point requirements scale RIGHT up, so what used to take you 1 round to get 4 levels, now takes 10 rounds of HARD WORK to get 1 level
(BTW: I don't know if anyone noticed that I coded in that you can RESIZE your reply window vertically, hover your mouse over the bottom edge of the reply window and see the cursor change to a RESIZE cursor, there's some useless info for you)
