    Can't say that I'm surprised, it truly is that damn good, heh. It's a shame that Infinity Ward will most likely not be doing the 5th installment of the series, though.

    If it's sold 7 million across 3 platforms and Halo 3 has sold 8 million across 1 platform then it's not the most sold game of 2007. GG.

      It's still a better game than Halo and that's all that really matters.

        Seconded. Halo's alright, but I think CoD is a lot more entertaining. Even my Halo fanboy friends agree.

    Maybe when COD5 comes out and doesn't do nearly as well, they can stop making outdated WWII games. Oh well, there's always COD6 to look forward to.

    Not surprised. My jaw hit the floor the first time I saw it in action. It stayed down there when I actually played it.
