At 23:00 last night, the struggle began. My brother and I had both gotten the brand new Modern Warfare 2 for PS3 and we were just getting online to play. My brother had apparently been playing all day long, but this was my first chance to play the game for anything beyond the 5-minute training.
Unfortunately, it was a real bummer that I couldn't play online with my brother. There is a problem with the "invite" function, which is supposed to be patched by Friday. A new patch came in this morning, but that just made it so we can't get to any online games at all.
We talked on the phone while trying to connect online for about an hour before my brother said he was going to bed and I went on to play the campaign. It's very cool. Great graphics! Intense! Lots of different situations, so it hasn't felt monotonous, other than replaying checkpoint sections that are right after places that I've gotten killed a lot. But just in the first few scenarios there are a variety of settings and situations.
For those interested in picking up Modern Warfare 2, all week long, Toys R Us is giving out a $10 (or $25 if you buy an additional select game) Gift Card with your purchase. Just don't expect to jump into online play right away.
