Hmm. I'm in no problems - probably because I downloaded everything earlier.

I've been on the pc since 9.05 still got 21 mins to log in then download

I have logged out and relogged in on the Americas site to download the update 17Gb to go

22:16 got to game screen ... game update needed back to 95 min to log innnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

try the American region

Beta starts at 6pm this evening.

Planning to play until normal MW time.

Played a few games - to level 6 - it's softcore, so not ideal.

You'll have to adjust your settings obviously, but the menus are very similar to MW.

The actual game menus are also quite similar, as is the operator/scorestreak/loadout setup:
Info from CoD here:
WEAPONS: http://bit.ly/CWWeapons
MODES: http://bit.ly/CWModes
LOADOUTS: http://bit.ly/CWLoadouts

Playing-wise it's the usual, once I'd got my setup ok, managed to get some good momentum.

I need to play more to make a proper comparison with MW.

Ok Maggot:-

Well bugger. That’s quite a download. Any idea if we can select just mp and skip the rest?

Thanks for the info though Vill.
