But the multiplayer is very good once you get into it - you get sucked in by the level progressions, wanting to try that next weapon, etc., leading up to a Barrett .50 rifle and then an MP44 at the highest levels. On a pure gameplay/physics level, I prefer Rainbow Six: Vegas, particularly in single-player mode. But with multi, the advantage goes to COD4.

I didn't care much for it. Too much going on, was nuts. I didn't like the "LOL INFINITE ENEMIES FROM EVERYWHERE CONSTANTLY" style either.
That was my experience with it. While not much a fan of the highly-scripted interactive-CGI type of game that COD 4 is, I also bought it knowing that's how it is. The infinite enemy thing always grates on me; the level at the ferris wheel kicked my butt (I was playing on Hardened), they just keep coming and coming and starts to not be so fun. Overall, I enjoyed playing the game through; though I don't know that the single player game was worth the $50 i paid. Would definitely be worth picking up from the bargain rack in some months time if you don't have it.
Haven't had a chance to try out the multiplayer much yet, as I'm still spending most of my gaming time with Team Fortress 2, but I've heard it's pretty good.

One bullet can kill you.
No crosshairs, just iron sights on your Mosin or whatever you've gotten hold of.
Did you hit the enemy? Maybe you did, and maybe you didn't.
It's big, alternately noisy and silent, and very tense.
Oh, and the vehicles are pretty cool, too. Nice scope views in the tanks!

Has anyone found all 30 pieces of intelligence? What happens when you do?

Yeah, I know what you mean. I babysat a friends dogs over the Thanksgiving weekend and played the single player on his machine all the way through Thanksgiving night. I wasn't going to play the multi and mess up his stats. It became very obvious very quickly that the enemy would just keep coming until you moved into the next section of the map. So I took to charging ahead and letting the NPC's deal with the enemies left over.
The two scenarios I liked best were Death from Above, and to a lesser extent Warpig.

I have it for the XBox 360.

My favorite part is the AC-130 Gunship. Blowing someone up from a mile away without any chance of them shooting back just gives me that evil smile.
:-) Yeah that part was a hoot.
I toyed with some of the settings and it runs pretty good now on my laptop.

But it's semi-only in this game, so I don't know if it's worth using over the G-36...

I'll probably give it a whirl after I finish Mass Effect. Kinda burned out on shooters, though.
I'll never burn out on FPS. I just wish I had a heavy duty machine that ran with absolutely no lag. maybe next year, but I want a new bike first.

2000 more points and I get me an M-14.

Its about equal to the G3. It sounds way better anyway.
