I got it to 100% as well, took me forever though. The hidden packages were the worst part, as well as getting all the vehicles training completion BS. Especially with the cars.

And I hope they keep it modern with 5. I liked having the technological advances in 4 like the cell phone, and the ability to call that number that tells you what song is playing. I didn't like your friends calling you up every 10 minutes to go hang out though, that got annoying. Other than the main storyline missions, I hope they put side things in there to make the game more interesting. Maybe customize your character a bit more, maybe go gambling, or do other fun activities. It felt useless having all that money in 4 with nothing to do with it.

Or Australia with a dingo as your personal sidekick.

Thanks for the link. Interesting... I wonder if they'll just slap GTA into the 1940s LA they used in LA Noire. Wouldn't be terrible, the world was pretty nice and very detailed.

MW3 will be out in a few weeks. I am going to get that, just because the number of friends I have that play it. Outnumbers Madden and BF.

I'm sure MW3 will be solid. It always is.

If you don't want to pull the trigger now wait for a price drop on BF3. It's worth it.

Yeah, the "new" IW of course. Should be interesting to see how it compares to the other ones.

I went all to cool for school and stopped playing Modern Warfare 2 two weeks after it came out. Was originally going to buy it but it was way to complicated. Ironically enough I went back and bought COD4 a few months as thats been the only real FPS online multiplayer game that I've regularly enjoyed but even then I haven't played it for a couple months..

Never trust studio changes though. I learned that a while back when Singletrac was replaced by 989 studios for the Twisted Metal series. It's kind of funny to see how a decade later MS is replacing Bungie with 343 industries whose name looks an awful lot like 989 studios. I can all but guarantee MS will regret letting Bungie go.
