Anyway - while at Best Buy to plan out the details of the event...
...I got to play Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.
Short story shorter:
Competitive play had 16 maps, starting out with Afganistan and getting into places like Brazil and fun European area's. From CQC to sniper field central, these maps were beautifl, and felt like they had a lot of polish. I didn't rep HARD for my COD OKgamers friends - I'm hoping you guys show up to Best Buy and prove that we are indeed hardcore at this! ( no one wanted to play fighting games
)
Campaign - I only got to watch a few minutes of - but once again - BEAUTIFUL. The opening animation was pretty, and made the grown men in the room ohh and ahh like we were but babes. Truly, this game...
The biggest awesomeness - Special Ops. It seemed to have a handful at first, then you realize that the handful of initial options had 10 or more options under that - oh - yes.
Special Ops seemingly built for fun short play, really did add to the game for me. The few we played - a training style shooting terrorists vs civilian, and then a "3 waves of baddies in white" ala "Red Dawn got in my COD", were great. My greatest joy from that? Two terrorists cross - one sniper bullet finishes both. Ahh, splatter.

My opinion? I'm a casual shooter, and enjoyed MW, playing it through with my good friend. We'd play through MW2 eventually, but with budgeting and all, even I was questioning whether or not I'd be buying it at the Midnight release...
...then I played it tonight. Monday? I'm buying this game.
