    LOL.....Not my favourite game, but IMO, it is more balanced and fun than COD:BO at the moment. And, until COD:BO is patched and the problems fixed, I'm not going to really get into it properly.

    Plus, I only played the MP for both so story-wise I can't form an opinion on that

    Has not been a bad year. First half was very good, maybe that's why the second half felt like a bit of a let down.
