lol would be interesting to see what the platform split for that 3m is

btw - what is it that makes this game so special?
Is it just the hype? Gameplay? what?
not trollin', just interested having never played any MW games before

 

to clarify for those with tender sensibilities: What puts the cream on the cake that sets it apart from other shooters that makes them ship 3mil to UK alone?

I think the single player is anywhere from average to poor imo, at least COD4 was.

 

It's relentlessly linear, scripted, and cliched. As well as short.

 

Now, I'm not that into multiplayer, the multiplayer is probably very good.

 

There is a HUGE difference between a game like Halo 3, which often allows massive scale and free roaming on the battlefield, and an incredibly linear game like COD 4. However, sadly the populace judging by sales figures seems to prefer the latter.

 

Honestly, I think that COD4 became so vastly popular mostly because of it's graphics, which were very good at the time, and modern military theme, plus of course the multiplayer which people loved. It just snowballed from there despite that the campaign is not very good imo. Even reviews such as IGN have now caught on to the fact the campaign is subpar.
