Hello all,
I've recently purchased CoD2 for the xbox360 and have to say, it's the best first person shooter I've ever played and I am absolutely blown away by the thought of a CoD3. That's just the long story short. I am finally privilaged enough to play a CoD game (just uprgraded PC and bought a 360) and am completely new to the series. Further, I used to be a HEAVY online (as well as offline) FPS gamer. Halo, Unreal, Unreal 2, Q1-3, etc. That said, I haven't played a FPS (or many other games) for about 3 years. I've actually gotten better though...which is weird.
I started a "Hardened" Campaign...have gone in sequential order as far as missions goes...although I've unlocked the british mission when you raid the supply depots and trenches in northern egypt (assumably the first brit mission). I am up to the long mission as the Russians where you have to randevous with the 2nd infantry squad at the rail station throught he pipes, and then organize an "every day" attack on the German Headquarters (the germans currently hold it) . I've done this. After several attempts we finally reached their 2nd and 3rd floor positions and secured the station as ours. This is where my problem starts: I have had no problems so far...I've worked through the game and learned it at a good pace. Co-incidentally to something I mentioned earlier, I played 1 online capture the flag game and it was random map but turned out to be the same Northern Egypt map as I unlocked. I was more than holding my own through those trenches with hardened online vets. In single player, I've druged through the waves after waves of Nazi troops in Moscow and Stalingrad up to the point I've mentioned with a pace that surprises even myself. Have to say this.
Again...the railstation is another story. I start off on the top floor of the "post nazi/back in my control" HQ with 4-7 grenades coming at the windows. Do the math. I'm all alone, and at this point after several attempts, detached from my reinforcements (it was a grind flushing out that top floor). At times, I have 5-12 Germans coming up the stairs the SECOND the "round" starts. I've tried this about thirty times and it only gets worse.
Anyone else encounter this or familiar with what I'm talking about?
I know (hope) this will provide some of you a laugh, but this is probably the fiercest battle I've been in yet in any offline/online game in my life. (seriously). Halo hardcore, and all the other games I've mentioned...crazy at times, but not like this. I know I don't have to detail what the fighting can be like in this game to YOU lol, but jesus.
Also, I hope noobs like me are welcome...I'll def be buying COD3 in November and sticking around as long as it's protocol for people to just sign up around here.
Thanks,

P.S./Edit: Oh, I forgot the best part...until I kill some of the Nazi's, I am out of automatic machine gun ammo. I am stuck on a longer zoom, although not scope, single action slow action rifle. High power, but doesn't do me much good in a half fire/half melee fight with 3 of them in a hallway.
