Modern Warfare 2 Videos Look Amazing

I know there has been a lot of discussion about the Modern Warfare 2 edition of the 360, but I wanted to make sure that every single Gearhead took the time to watch some of these videos. After playing a crapload of World at War over the past several months, I'll say that the speed of Modern Warfare 2 is simply striking. It looks like the sprinting is faster, the kill quickness is faster and the maps look like they have a lot of places to simply camp. Which could be a good and a bad thing.

I will say that the weapons look simply deadly and incredibly fun and intuitive to use. The weapons in the COD games, particularly COD were just amazing and one of my favorite parts of that game. I have a feeling that this version will take it to the next level.

BTW, I found out today that my wife is having another girl. Maya is simply thrilled that she is going to have a little sister. We had to run out tonight because Maya really wanted to buy a present for the baby. But the giddy look on her face was worth all the money in the world.

A sibling of the same sex is very cool. (none / 0)

Though it would have been awesome to have a little girl, I wouldn't of minded one little bit, had we decided to have even more children, if we had another 8 boys (or more). Before I had any children, I was already hoping for 3 boys to play split-screen with (kind of technologically retarded, I was - had no sense of what was down the pipeline).

I will tell you one thing, hand-me-downs are awesome! We get clothes from their cousins, and I kid you not, we have spent almost no money on clothing at all, for all three boys. Cornie doesn't get much new stuff, but all of it is clean, in good shape, and great for any active young lad.

The only thing I fear, is the rice bill when they are all teen-agers. Luckily, my brother-in-law is a rice farmer and we get a discount. ;)

Congrats, papi! I knew the sex of all three boys long before they were born - their names were even decided.

All of those gametrailers vids (none / 0)

are great. The SPAS-12 looks to kick an unbelievable amount of ass. The M4 just looks 10 times better in MW2. I think it looks much more high tech this time around.

I've actually not seen any videos prior to this, I like the blood spatter feel of gears. Sprinting is definitely faster but I have a feeling that the quick deaths will definitely result in my racking up a lot in the death column.

Thanks for posting the videos, MW2 is just going to be amazing. I was in gamestop the other day and they had an awesome MW2 countdown clock.

A baby girl FTW! Awesome news Maya, Erika & Tyler (none / 0)

Girls will always love their dads. They will always be a princess no matter how old they are. Also, they sure do clean up very well. When I married my wife (her second marriage), I told her that the only thing that I wanted was a little girl. If it had been a boy, I would have pushed it back. LOL I absolutely adore Katie. I'll let you guys know if I still feel the same way when she hits her teens. ;)

  I love my baby girl. I'm psyched to have another one.
  
  I've always heard that boys are more challenging earlier and the girls are more challenging later. I suppose we'll both find out ;-)

      Johan, Timmy, or Cornie in a dress, Suns. That's not my thing, but if it floats your boat... ;)

Yes!

I don't know what life would be with Liv.

To have two daughters is truly a blessing.

Life is good.

Happy days to you and yours.
