Yea it is, when I first signed on I say 3.8 mil on there. Strangely enough there were a lot of dropped matches.

Down to less than 1.1 million at peak times last night and 750k at 1am EST/10pm PST. Day 2 of release. If you read their forums people say get a new tv, the graphics are fine. They are far from it. I have a DLP TV and MW1 looks just as good as this game and its 3 years old. Theatre mode will be the reason why the graphics are toned down. Just like Halo 3's graphics were on par with Halo 2. Sacrifice graphics for theatre mode because the amount of storage extra texturing will take.

The lighting in this game is terrible. There is zero solar flare looking at the sun, but here are gun emblems and icons for your tag. Too many right angles. Feels like the world is nearly perfect on every map. Game just feels like an arcade game more than Call of Duty.

They get some things right taking out OMA, Danger Close, and Scavenger reloading noob tubes, but if you play competitively, those things you dont worry about in actual MLG matches anyway as they are outlined in the rules.

If I had it to do over, I'd keep my $60 and play MW2.

1 Million? I'm guessing you're on PS3?

Got to 18 twice, once with 4 people and once with 3

We would have gotten farther in the one with 3 people if I didn't run out of ammo.

I'm the only one who never gets a ray-gun :(

I can't manage to get past 14, but that's with 2 people. I have yet to try 4 people. I played with 3 one time and also got to 14, but I think we could do better.

As far as the multi player goes, I'm starting to see the inconsistent bullet damage. It definitely goes hand in hand with the lag though. So far it's not different enough to see myself playing it for a substantial amount of time.

I'm pretty tired of coming across someone, engaging them first, never missing, and still having them kill me. I don't know what to do.

I've been having the same problem. It's pretty damn frustrating. Hope they eventually fix this. I've even been landing what looks like to be headshots and they still roll up and kill me. And the spawns are pretty bad. Sometimes I spawn in front of an enemy or nearby a huge group of them or in the path of a killstreak.

Yea, I've had times where the only thing showing was the player's head and I unload before he sees me, and somehow manage not to kill him. It's just absurd.

And you are right, the spawn system is pretty pathetic. Sometimes it's alright, but then other times it is almost as if you just get spawned to die again.

Yea I'm having the same problem as you guys. Also sometimes the knifing is screwed up. Like I clearly knife the guy and it doesn't register.

Also been having some problem getting into some games lately.

Had the same problem twice today. It's pretty obnoxious. This game is plagued with flaws. If they fix them, it will be good. Right now I'm already sick of it.
