I got to watching an old episode of American Choppers and skipped the midnight event. Too tired. lol I picked it up at bestbuy this afternoon and got a $20 gift card. I like it so far. Played some of the solo and a little multi player. It's very well done visually. As for the whole COD vs Halo debate, they're both fun games with different styles. I like MW2 and play a lot. To be honest I really never played a lot of Halo multi-player. Most of my friends have PS3. I you want realism go to the gun store and buy a G17 for $500 and a box of 9mm's then hit the range. Now that is fun!
