After saying I wasn't going to pre-order I came in from the pub and was playing mw2, and thought why when I could try something new so fuck it.
I have to say I'm glad I did because I've had more fun on this beta than on mw2 for a while. People know my biggest gripe for mw2 was maps, infact I think bad maps are the games biggest killer (ghosts) so no real excuses now. The gun play is solid and tbh straight away drew comparison to AW in feel.
There are a few issues, mainly I have to agree visibility of players and the team they are in is an issue also, and no surprise footstep audio however the sneakers may help that but I wouldn't want it to be a crutch perk, if it is then that shows it's an issue. With the old school mini map it as suggested in the past helps with game flow and will mean suppressors will be useful. So far come November 10th mw2 can be banished for good.
