OK, some multiplayer gameplay coverage now.
I've played a few times now on a couple of servers and it's pretty fun. It's basically the one from CoD 4 with diffrent setting, weapons and style.
Firstly - the maps. Easily said, some of them are the most beautiful multiplayer maps I've seen and I'm not playing on full detail (example - the Outskirts). The design is pretty chaotic, there aren't many maps composed of few corridors and some open space (like the Carentan map from previous games), so you have at least some freedom of movement.
Secondly - the weapons. Unfortunatly, machineguns basically own everything else. You can carry a MG42 and shoot it from the hip, while suffering little recoil. All heavy MGs behave more or less like this, so expect to be killed by them pretty often. There are new kind of grenades - Molotov cocktail, Tabun gas grenade (when your hit, your vision gets blurry, you move slower etc.) and sticky grenades for tanks. Then there's flamethrower once you reach level 65. Also, bolt-action rifles are back - and they work like a charm. Oh, one more thing - there is no nation restriction when it comes to weapons, so expect russians running around with japanese rifles and americans shooting PPSH. And to close up the section, bayonnets are in, extending your melee range.
Thirdly - game mechanics. Well, it's not much diffrent than in CoD4, so there's little to tell. Except for tanks beign back and capture the flag restored. Tanks can be a pain in the ass, because it takes a couple of bazooka shots to take them down. And there's WAR mode, something like Domination where capturing diffrent points yields diffrent results. The biggest problem are the spawn points, because it's pretty common to spawn in the middle of enemies. And one last thing - artillery replaced airstrikes and helicopter is replaced by dogs (which may or may not be less annoying - you can knife a dog or shoot it, but you'll often get attacked from both sides by them).
Overall, it's pretty fun, but it offers little more than CoD4, so I can't really recommend to buy it for the MP. If you already have it, but don't know if it's worth to play it, I say give it a try. MP gets an 8\10.

COD 4 vs. 5 online multiplayer
I can't decide which one to get for multiplayer only. I recently bought a new PC, you see. I had Call of Duty 4 for the 360 and it was great fun playing on Live, I got totally hooked. But then today I tried out some COD 5 multiplayer, and it was fun. Actually it's pretty much the same, except you only get crappy WW2 weapons. On the other hand, I've really played COD 4 to the death, and I suppose they haven't released any new maps for it. So I'm hesitating. Does anyone have experience with both? Again, this is for multiplayer only. I really don't care about single player or coop.

Dogs are way better than helicopters.

finally played through CoD 5 and I'm very disappointed. they're just borrowing stuff from the earlier games and adding some gore to it. every mission feels like it's been done before. because of that, nothing in the game really stands out and nothing is particularily memorable. there are some really memorable missions from both CoD 1, 2 and 4 and all those games had a special quality to them. this entry has nothing.
CoD 2 for pc is still the best in the series in my opinion.

No no, I sold my 360 long ago. Still not sure about which one to play. Are there new maps for COD 4?
I'd go for CoD5. The airstrikes and helicopter are a real pain in the ass. On the other hand, dogs can go into tunnels, where helicopter obviously cannot.
Anyway, CoD5 has better maps, I think and some new stuff, like Molotovs and new gameplay modes. It isn't MUCH diffrent or better, but still, it's something new, since I guess you played the crap out of CoD4.

Yeah, but it's a bit dated. I might get COD 4 as there's apparently a few new maps.
Then again. The only thing that's holding me back from playing COD 5 multi is the arcade ww2 weaponry (flamethrower, portable MGs) and let's face it, modern weapons are cooler. I do like tanks, though.
Couple of questions. Does COD 5 have sniper ghillie suits? That's something I really liked about COD 4. Also, can you upgrade weapons with scopes, etc.?

It's basically the same when it comes to weapon upgrades, only that you don't have custom camos. And yes, there are ghille suits for both bolt action rifles and sniper rifles.
Portable MGs and flamethrower ain't that bad, really. Not that you HAVE TO use it. CoD5 is as annoying when it comes to unbalanced weapons as CoD4.

Who cares about being on the losing side? I can think of a few battles it would be great fun to play as the Nazis.
Who wouldint want to ride around gunning down poorly equipped/trained Russian peasants while listening to this?

neo-nazi band or not Landser has some hilarious lyrics
"In an SS Panzer unit grandpa rolled with pride.
Cleansing Bolshevics from the Russian country side!
Every red commie bastard that stood in his way.
He would shoot them down, day after day!"
Also does anyone know of any FPS that let you play as the Japs during pearl harbor?

Eh I suppose that would work tho I am sure one of those already exist somewhere. I was thinking more of a FPS from the Japanese side of things but maybe for a level turned into a railshooter type deal? I am not even sure if a game exist where you can play as the Japanese.
BF1942 excluded as the solo on it was weak.
