My first impressions so far are positive for the most part. Played Spec Ops for several hours with my Bro and it was pretty fun. We mainly did the missions, then ended it with survival. Survival is basically Zombies, just without zombies and it's a little different.
Multiplayer right now is sketchy. Most people are camping right now because they don't know the maps, or just aren't familiar with the game. The maps are a lot smaller than usual and there tends to be no spots where you can "hide". However there definitely are spots where you can camp pretty effectively, as well as "power spots" that Infinity Ward claimed they tried to get rid of.
The sniping is amazing. Though, with the lag right now, it's not as fun. You kill a guy and 2 seconds later it pops up as a kill, it should be instant. It's not like this everygame thankfully. Back to sniping. There seems to be less auto-aim than in MW2, which is nice. The quickness as far as quick scoping is maybe even faster than MW2, or at least the same. I've only used the bolt action sniper so far, will test the others eventually. There seems to be some kind of glitch where if you try and shoot too quickly consecutively, you get a "miss fire" and you don't even get a shot off. Has anyone else experienced this?
Haven't tried the Single Player Campaign yet, dunno when I'll get to it. I never finished MW2's Campaign either. Everytime I sat down and tried to finish it, I would get bored and just get on Multiplayer. I've heard that the MW3 Single Player is pretty good though.
Not gonna say I love the maps, but they aren't terrible either. There's a lot of routes in some maps, and only one to two mains areas in others. I was hoping to see some CoD4 maps that we didn't see in MW2, like Pipeline, Downpour and Chinatown, but that may come in the DLC.
Overall I'm liking the game, I just wish they would have used dedicated servers. Also, Stalker is an amazing perk! Just wish it was a different tier than Dead Silence... oh the broken fun that would be!
