SOUND
BBC1 had some of the best, if not THE best sounds ive ever heard in a game. period. it makes me pee in my pants to think about it. all the little things; echos, vibrations, ricochets, grenades, ratatatata rapid firing, the "ting" of shells falling out of guns, the lock/stock of reloading sniper rifles, a bullet hitting a rock behind u, buildings blowing up, etc etc.. lets think about it. sound is to a game, what beats are to hip-hop. they would be NOTHING without them.

FUN FACTOR
yes there are vehicles. ive never liked the idea of them in FPS games either. but this game is... (going to be) just fun. call me a noob, but hell yah, im gonna go rolling out in a tank or hovercraft or jeep with guns blazing. i had immense fun sitting in the passenger seat and unloading shells on enemies. i know it creates a whole new dynamic to FPS games, and it takes getting used to. But i relish the chance of doing something different. mind u, ive basically ONLY played pure shooters (R1, COD4, R2, KZ2) 90% of the time since owning my PS3. i only own 1 non-FPS (Oblivion). so, i want something different. MW2 may be the best game out there, but its not for me. hate the lag. hate the lack of support. and i played the crap out of MW1. so yes, im looking forward to some vehicle mayhem! but in all likelihood, i will probably try to unlock the sniper kits and do my thang, assassination style. there seems like so much variation in this game, and that excites my pee-pee!

WEAPONS
46 weapons. 15,000+ kit variations. i mean, hello? tell me that doesnt excite u... So i love variation. KZ2.. shitttt. its just so lame when everyone uses the same weapons. now u have choices, which gives more depth. look at the # of kit variations! hopefully ill be able to carry a sniper rifle with a silenced sub-machine gun as a 2ndary weapon!.. nice... and maybe some proximity mines? who knows. all of that means more fun.
