But then if you watch the 4 videios of IGN.com playing, it looks on par with GRAW (Not quite s sharp) So maybe the Demo is an early build or just weak

Nice job again EA

I played it a little on the XBox, and I like the improvements on the 360.
My biggest gripe about GRAW is how long it takes to actually get in a game.
BFMC seems to win out in this regard.
Now I just need to convince my friends to pick it up.

(Go shoot up a brick wall and have a look at the damage you left behind. Take a few pop shots at the asphault. Shot a couple bullet holes into a hummer.) ive seen this done in all games lately so its not really impressin me
one thing is to make a pc game to a console never works...look what happened to half life 2..they thought they were gonna go big on consoles but no....
im a graw fan and as far as server goes its all up in the air
graphicaly this game look like an xbox version of the game with nice try ok graphics but not next gen and what kills it for this game is the REALISTIC portion of the game.. sorry it dont cut it for me
EA has lots of money and technology but they dont put it in any of their games... FIGHT NIGHT is the only one that got madd love on 360....
so if i were to play a FPS shooter i would go to with GRAW hands down and ill stick with my PC version of BF2..
thats just my two cents

i played the final build and its nothing amazing, taking out a sniper on top of a four story building with a shotgun (1 shot). and it has the most retarded AI ive seen in quite some time

i had a lot of fun playing the demo, i could care less about how nice the shadow from my balls looks, it was fun
I don't know about balls, but it is fun.
The balancing seemed pretty good. Sure snipers are one shot kills, but a 155mm Sabot round from an M1A2 will quickly put an end to their camping.

I'll stick to the very superior pc version. Man, it's like they screwed it up on purpose to keep the pc game on top. From the graphics to the changed/altered classes and movement, all bad. Sucks so bad, I was hoping for it to be as bad as the pc....

The Bottom Line
Undoubtedly, Modern Combat gives you a lot to do, between the single-player Campaign, the various Challenges and what will hopefully be durable multiplayer gameplay. The need to spend a lot of time trying to keep your reckless AI soldiers from rushing headlong into the spray of enemy bullets is frustrating, but its what sets this arcade-style game from being confused with the hardcore strategy offered by a game such as Tom Clancys Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter. Thats not necessarily a black mark for Modern Combat, but if youre looking for a chess match, youll probably be disappointed by whats instead feels like the kind of war game you played with toy soldiers as a kid in the backyardlots of bodies flying around willy-nilly and lying face first in the dirt.
Of course, theres also the fact that, despite the face lift, this is still essentially the same game that came out a few months ago on Xbox. Better looking and sounding, but little fresh in the way of content. That makes it feel more like it was quickly put together for the Xbox 360 user basea common occurrence when a game system is newly released.
All that makes it hard to recommend for purchase, but its truly a matter of personal taste. If you havent played any other console version of Modern Combat and/or youre looking to boost your Gamerscore with some achievements, you may want to add it to your collection. Id just as soon wait for the nextand not rehashedBattlefield to show up.

Wheres the fools that argued with some of us saying it wouldnt be almost the same as the xbox version and was going to resemble the pc version?

I could put up with a lot of things in the demo like smoke flowing under pavement and having to go prone from crouching to stand back up until I got fragged by an air strike while in the middle of one of those metal trailers.
I found out that you can go back to standing from crouch just by hitting the left shoulder button, skipping the prone position if you wish.

Thanks EA
Give it a chance... It really is fun.
EtherNut
Please don't thank this company... they are the devil...
glad to see you enjoy it... I d/l the demo and had fun for about 2 games... then remembered the nights on xbox when all I could find was games on Bridge Too Far (damn that voting) and it gets boring quick.... as of now I don't believe I'll buy this game... I feel as if I'd be paying for a shiney version of what's already on my shelf... and my friends lately are gunho over a game they get it and play for a week then complain their aren't any good games... (prolly cause they suck at them)... who knows... once it's out and I see better reviews and player's takes on the game I may pick it up... maybe SAM's will have it by then... I'll get it $5 cheaper...

It's fun Except the bloody Bridge Too Far Map keeps coming up.
And I've just had enough as the EA servers are shite. Kicked off 3 times in 10 mins.
The single player levels I've seen (done the first defend one, failed on the protect the techie one)
You can't see the enemy through the snow. Hot Swapping is cool though.
Mainly bought to play online but may just go back to the demo if thats the only level people want to play.

I agree 110%
STOP voting for Bridge Too Far,, I have played all online maps and Bridge too Far is the worst, and really makes online play annoying when people keep voting for it. If you like it that much, you should have saved your money and just dl the demo

Quickly Double tap (heh - one in the chest one in the head) the left trigger to go prone whilst skipping crouch and I think you can quickly double tap the left bumper to stand (from prone again skipping crouch)
