I'll be going online with it soon for some co-op with my friend. Hope the medals are still in the game. ;-)
I'll either be on in about 10 mins or an hour because I might have to reinstall some stuff on the computer I'll be doing ICS on.
I'll send you an invite.
Just tell me when you're ready.

I have it now.
You'd better be giving it some serious game time! *Shakes fist* ;)
I do remember it being shorter but in someways C:DS1 could drag on as there was a lot of running around and doubling back even though you'd killed everone just to tie up objectives. In the sequel they streamlined it so that objectives were completed on the way and put in more ambushes from troops coming at you from streets you thought you'd cleared to really bring out the urban fighting.
I played C:DS through on all difficulty settings and by the end it was certainly dragging on so I was glad that C:DS 2 was shorter because I was going to replay all the levels on the higher difficulties anyway. The shortness made it more likely you'd be able to complete the game with your mates in 1 or 2 sittings.
Some of the levels in CDS2 were fantastic, yes, but there simply weren't enough of them. I think if there had been 5 or 6 more (so that the number at least equalled that in the original), I probably would have preferred CDS2.
The fact that it was more street-orientated was a good thing, but the open desert missions weren't as good as they were in CDS1.
And C:DS 2 was much better because the level design actually made it a challenge.

You're making out that CDS and CDS2 are exactly the same game, with the AI in CDS2 on the Xbox making CDS on the Gamecube seem pointless.
Which is just crazy.
CDS is better than CDS2. 2 was far too short, and had some questionable enemy AI.
