I'll be going online with it soon for some co-op with my friend. Hope the medals are still in the game. ;-)
Otherwise it'd just be another turkey shoot.

I only played the demo and decided to leave it. Tbh I thought I'd out grown the series as a gamer until they announced the online co-op which is the only reason I want to get this new one.
I preferred C:DS 2 because it actually required some skill to complete, although I expect the Cube version of CD:S was slightly harder: I'd already completed the Xbox version on all difficulties in single player and it was hard enough playing with my friends getting torn apart by the Xbox AI without them being any more difficult.
In single player the open areas in C:DS just made it too easy to setup killzones and waltz through the levels.
Not really sure what that's got to with anything. It was still a better game than the Xbox version and by far the best game in the series.
I found the level design in CDS:2 to be quite dissapointing really, it felt far too boxed in and claustrophobic. I preffered the more open design of the first game.
The less said about Vietnam, the better.
> I don't really see the difference beyond which controller you prefer.
There were tons of differences.
CDS on Cube came out about 6 months after the Xbox version and had massive amounts of upgrading done on it.
