Fair enough on assuming GoW3 will be pushed to 2010. I think they will try to get it out this year, but I believe they did the same for GoW2 and CoO and failed.

I guess it'll be whichever of those games comes out first. Perhaps CoD6...or will it be called CoD: MW2?

I just hope the multiplayer lasts a long time

Curious... I just watched trhe IGN review ans aside from a weird start (explanation about a lot of graphical technical guybrush) and an apology for not having a coop (saying the AI is good).... the reviewer says it is a very good game with good campaign and excellent multiplayer.

But according to him, it is not the messiah: "The amoutn of hype may lead some people to be disappointed..."

Anyway, well done Guerilla.

I do not know why they say that some would be disappointed. Right after that he said "Which is not really fair to the game because it has a great single player campaign, an awesome multiplayer and shiny graphics to boot."

I think early in the video the moment he first mentions the graphics he says they are amazing.

Great single player - Check

Amazing Multiplayer - Check

Best Graphics on a home console - Check

Very good controls - Check

Seriously, what is to be disappointed about? I think the only real complain I heard was that he wished the vechicle portions lasted longer, so I guess the vehicle parts are just as awesome as the non-vehicle parts.

Sounds great to me.

PPl who say we will be disappointed are wishful thinkers

Is this game not coming out in Japan?

 yeah, does anyone know how long it will take to go up each rank?

Depends on how much you play it. I was able to unlock all the classes to be able to play the scout class for a while before the end of the third phase (The third phase reset all the stats from the second phase, introduced some new tweaks, and lasted for a couple of weeks).

Similarly, I was able to unlock all the ranks and weapons in Bad Company's online multiplayer in a couple of weeks as well.

What's going to take a while is unlocking each class's secondary abilities and unlocking the ability to use those secondary abilities on other classes (ex - An engineer who can build turrets and throw medic's blood bags to heal himself or others)

Lets take the medic for example. You would have to revive 5 people in a match to earn a revive ribbon. Then, you had to earn 8 of those revive ribbons to earn the ability to use the blood bags (med-kits). Then, you had to heal 5 people in a match to earn a med-kit ribbon. Lastly, you had to earn 8 med-kit ribbons to unlock the med-kit ability for other classes to use.

I don't know which ones you are misssing but here we go:

yeah, getting all the ribbons will take a week, at least, I would guess.  If you play 24/7 and are good you could unlock Scout in 1 day, though.  I got 2800 points in 1 day several times.  Then again, that was after I unlocked everything.  Some of the combos you can use when you unlock the ribbons are useful, but not necessary.

I hope they balanced the rocket launcher, too.
