The MP is definately flawed however it moved on from the same enjoyable MP experience and improved on it slightly with the levelling, gets you addicted. I also like the new gametypes, but these are certain to fail alongside the new lobby.
If it wasnt for the IW.net matching system (which i like to an extent - the random games from the matching system) and the no dedicated servers i would find it hard to say they hadnt done a great job. As it is i enjoyed my wee twirl and ive picked it up for £20 second hand.
Its definately not the real deal but its close (major flaw excused), hopefully they can keep the mechanics and produce a better mw3 or ....

I tried the free weekend. The lag seemed to come in waves, i would be playing happily for about an hour then for the next 30 mins or so it was really bad.
After about 3 hours play i somehow ended up in a 'hacked' map. Went in as a lvl 21 came out at lvl 70 after 1 kill
. Sort of ruined the whole experience for me.
I could go on about the aimbots, but i imagine there were more than normal playing during the free weekend. I managed to get myself shot in the head with a handgun from the other side if the map in one round

hmm wonder how they made that most profitable list?
Eg is it actual profit or total sales?
Wow for example $104m, it has over 10million players each paying about 9 quid a month. thats £90m+ ($130m at a guess) a year from subscriptions. Granted they have the costs related from running servers and still creating content etc to deduct from the gross but $104m still seems very low!
I also wonder if they have grouped some games up. Like all the guitar hero games together.
But yeah regarding OP, tbh its fair enough, its a business move, they are milking it but why not? people who aint sure play for a weekend, if they love it they buy it. If they hate it they dont.
