Call of Duty 2 (Xbox 360)

CoD2 is the best launch title out there on the 360 (Granted, I’ve only played 3 of them thus far). Not only does it look and sound like a “next-gen” title, it has intense gameplay to back it up.

But instead, not only are there not nearly enough 360’s to go around, MS has done nothing that I can see to communicate any kind of updates to their consumers. It’s been nothing but empty platitudes about “factories” and working “24-hours a day” to “meet demand”. That means nothing to me.
