While everyone was gushing over the over hyped Halo 3 (which I don’t particularly like) I was busy getting hooked on an invitation only early build of Call of Duty 4 multiplayer. This game beta was absolutely perfect and addictive. COD 2 on the 260 was the first shooter that I really played all the way through and was the game that really got me into Multiplayer action, as good as that game was, COD 3 had a lot to live up to and failed miserably, but the magic is back with the completely revamped COD 4. It hits the store shelves today and Activision has a ton of special X-Box live events planned. Drop Halo 3, pick this up and I’ll see you on the battlefield. In the meantime check out this trailer and press release.
