Awwwwwwwwwwwww yeah. Can't wait.

@Miranda Lawson You might want to hit the HD switch (if you haven't already). On the other hand, I'm pretty sure they're using the same engine they've been using since CoD4.

I don't doubt that MW3 will probably be lots of fun, but it just seems exactly like MW2, in terms of gameplay and visuals. Maybe that's what people want though.

Can. Not. Wait... to the extend that I've accidentally pre-ordered it 3 times from the same place... Ooops.

I have to say I was actually a little disappointed with the campaign. Yes, it was good fun, but it wasn't satisfying. Spoilers follow:

We find out Adam Fenix new about the Locust before E-Day, but where did they come from? I was expecting it to tie in to the New Hope Research facility, I wanted to find out what all the research collectibles about the girl called Ruth were about. I expected her to turn out to be the Locust Queen, and that scientists created the Locust some how... but nothing. I was hoping for a nice solid ending that wrapped up all the niggling questions.

Then the last boss fight was pretty dull as well, just the same attack methods for 5 waves. All you had to do was stand behind the pillar and switch between your lancer/HoD with occasional trips for ammo.

I'm probably being too picky, but I've always been into Gears mainly for the campaign, and I felt it didn't really deliver for me in the end :(

@Squalls Lionheart I guess he could THEORETICALLY be alive if he put his helmet back on and jumped inside the Pelican that they arrived on. But as the Pelican has no Slipspace drive, he'd still be trapped in there.

@Squalls Lionheart I think Robborboy is making some guesses there, even though his death is never confirmed.

Jorge activated a slipstream drive inside the Super Carrier, which sucked him, the Corvette and a large chunk of the Super Carrier into Slipspace. He wouldn't have been teleported out somewhere else as the Slipspace drive wasn't programmed to go anywhere, it would have just opened up a rupture and trapped him there.

Oddly, they didn't include Jun, the only surviving member of Nobel Team.

@Epoque I tried with Gears/Halo/Star Wars dress-up outfits and none of those are allowed. It removed much of the value if you can't actually have your avatar in the game outfits.

@Guhungus Well, the thing here is, everyone who buys the game new will get the DLC, as every copy of the first run will be "limited edition". There will only be one edition of the game.

Ah nostalgia. It's just like the trailer for the original Battlefield: Vietnam game.
