I hit up best buy this morning as soon as they opened....good thing too considering there only had about 50 copies....I got the limited edition which comes with a dvd on the making, which is very well done....and the game seems fun but during hte day I get too much of a glare to really play so I'll have to wait till tonight...

Got mine this morning.

Wally World only had a few of the Limited Edition games left to sell to the people that didn't have a pre-order.

Hopefully 2 is better. I'm still tempted to get it since i have a $50 gift card from bestbuy.
when it comes to fps games, i prefer to use my pc.

I agree... I don't feel that I can get the control I prefer on xbox.


btw... 2 is a lot better than 1. The graphics are better, sound, play action, etc. It's very nice.

But yeah... I'd rather have it on PC.

Do you have Xbox Live? That's the real mind-opener.

I just picked it up this afternoon. it's pretty good but the field of vision could be better. kind of narrow and absolutely no peripheral vision.

Your "slid click" technique is weak, my "opposable thumb Fu" will crush you.
