Well I think so anyway.
I've read allot about Call of Duty over the past few months and everything I've read seems to suggest this is shaping up to be one hell of a game. It's a WW2 based FPS, created by ex members of 2015 who previously worked on MOH: Allied Assault.
The game itself is based around the closing years of the war, it spans 4 campaigns which take you from Normandy, straight into Berlin which is the overall objective of the game. The game also lets you play three different sides as you advance through occupied Europe, the ever present Americans, The (Finally we get a mention) British and perhaps best of the lot Russians, where you get fight through the ruined city streets of Stalingrad which looks, from the screenshots I've seen, amazing.
There's also more of an emphasis on team play in the game since in most battles you'll be accompanied by squads of fellow soldiers. The developers have also promised that some battles will include up to 300 troops on screen at one time which sounds hefty but will amazing if they pull it off.
Still, if you have yet to hear, or even see this game there is a demo out now which was released late last night.
It's got one level and sees you as part of a squad of US paratroopers the night before the Normandy beach landings. It's a great demo that really gives you feel of how the final game will play, plenty of high octane action as you fight through hedgerows and towns as you approach the objective to destroy 3 Anti-Aircraft guns.

I was told it would be hard on easy. I can complete it on the hardest difficulty with very little, um... difficulty. Some people just suck at games.
I hope they leave out that weird auto-aim thing for the final version.

What auto aim?
You look through your sights, aim and shoot. You do it yourself.

No, it would involve leaving the comp on all night and my mum has been going mad about the electricity bill.
