Exactly! So KILL the other guy and TAKE his weapon. Not SPAWN with the weapon.

And what new features? Almost all the game modes are the same (haven't played War Mode yet though), most of the perks are the same (some new ones, but they are just new perks, hence why it seems more like an expansion pack), most of the attachments are the same, with the exception of the bipod (which they should rename to the suicide bipod since using it will get you killed unless your camping in a corner; and not to mention it's almost useless since you don't really need it unless your going full auto; They should either make it so you move, like you should, or just remove it since they said it was too buggy if people could move with it), and the bayonet, which is just a knife attack with longer range. Almost all of the challeges are the same.

Ohh, what about the kill streak rewards?! Just clones, except the dogs, which I admit are really cool, but none the less they are the same. Recon plane instead of UAV (Now with NEW pictures that can look through walls and buildings, and instantly update your common soldiers "radar" instantly! No need to take back the pictures to intelligence officers so they can examine, then radio them to your local radioman! Just use your telepathy powers!), artillery strikes instead of air strikes, and dogs instead of a helicopter (which is essentially the same since it's just AI assisting your team).

So what's new? Perks, weapons, maps, and (OMG) Tanks! Sounds like an expansion pack to me. And the campaign is just more of the same with Call of Duty. Your just another super soldier you can "heal" bullet wounds in 10 seconds, and apparently is a master sniper, tank smasher, machine-gunner, flame-thrower, tank commander (with the special ability of driving and controlling the turret at the same time! Not to mention your gun can shoot like a semi-auto rifle.), plane gunner, radio man (for air strikes), etc. the list goes on. It was cool in the first Call of Duty, because it offered some seriously epic battles in a game back in 2003. But now it's jus the same. The only difference is they took it the the pacific front, which is a nice change, but you still have the old European East front again. The campaign, although well done, is more of the same, so I haven't gotten real excited over it.
