hellafun...new maps yay!! no earned upgrades for weapons..everyone is on a level playing field..yay!! ..maps load mucho faster. So Im in game sooner. win for me..usually I'm last person in the map. ..enjoying the maps but just played one night. I cant say if they balanced or not, I didnt hear anyone complaining. worth the money to me...I cant spend the full price cod when its so close to Fabel 3..dragon age 2....and tera or rift.
