I traded four games in to Blockbuster last night, to get a pre-order of this game. I can't wait to play it when it comes out. Actually, speaking of its release date - when is it exactly? I keep seeing the fifth everywhere, but that's tomorrow/a Monday, which doesn't make much sense. Blockbuster's computer system apparently says October 30th was the release date, so that's definitely not true.

Hm, okay. Thanks for the replies.
FutureShop.ca and Bestbuy.ca say the 5th, the commercial says the 6th, and Blockbuster's computer says it was supposed to be out on October 30th.

BTW it's supposedly 5 hours on normal, and you can raise the difficulty.
Regardless, I doubt this game is that short - maybe a little shorter than the other CoD's, but not 5 hours - even with a robust multi-player, that just seems like a rip-off.

COD2 was easy as hell on normal and while fun I didn't really come away with much of a sense of accomplishment when I beat it. But playing it on Veteran was freakin awesome and IMO the only way to play through the game. It took way longer and was way more challenging and I never felt that it was through artificial means except for maybe once on Hill 500 when you would be in a bunker and pile of grenades would land perfectly on your location everytime. Other than that I thought the campaign was flawless. So if COD4 can come even close to that I'll be happy.

Just called one of my local EB's and they are selling the game around 5-6PM tonight, to those who pre ordered, or pre sometime today.
In other news, my 20% off preorder at Toysrus now has a release date of 11-12-07!!

I called my local Gamestop hoping for good news but I was told it will be in early tomorrow. Might try to get it before work but with the cold I have it is unlikely I will want to do anything before work.

I'm looking forward to this game but will probably not pick it up until next year, only because I'd rather first play Orange Box and Galaxy. The good news is that next year, this will still have a multiplayer community. At least from you guys on here.
