If it's true, yay and nay. I loathe loathe loathe friend codes, it should be like PSN that you say "wanna be friends" they say "yes" and from then on they are included in every online game. Not "Bought a new game? Input all of your buddies 16 digit numbers into here and hope they do the same for you!" To hell with friend codes.
16 players online would be a perfectly respectable number. COD4 was only 18 I think.
You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.
