been playing since last night. i haven't had to wait at all. i love the treyarch games so much more than the others. still its cod. if you aren't a fan of the series, not so sure you'll be floored by it or anything...
My download has been creeping for about the last five hours. I hit 10GB and it's been terribly slow since. My console is feeling me nine more hours to download the remaining 2GB.
Level 12 so far. If you enjoyed Black Ops 2, you'll like it. It isn't AW at all. Like 90% of the combat is on the ground.
The Tempest specialist class is incredible. The HVK-30 is a great rifle. Pump action shotguns are my favorite though, and the KRM-262 does not disappoint.
