The more things change…
Despite this, though, I struggled to muster any form of emotion.

This is a far cry from the genuinely emotion stirring events ofCoD4.
Deaths are better with friends
Now, dont go flaming me just yet.
Of particular note, though, is the new pointstreak system.
This is a great step, and one that should have a positive effect on the proceedings.
Speaking of rewards, these are also changed, and are now found in three strike packages.
These include Assault, Support and Specialist.
The most interesting strike package, however, is Specialist.
It doesnt end there, though.
Alongside this is the Horde/Zombie-style Survival mode.

As you earn kills youre given money that can be used to buy better weapons and support.
Well, simply put, and as I also stated before, its just all so familiar.
Sorry EA, but Activision has won this one for me.
