I like the look of this - but I'm worried about gameplay mostly. The first Halo is still my favorite game, despite lower quality graphics, because the gameplay and replay quality are so great. A game like Doom 3, however, got stuffed in a drawer halfway through the game, because even though it looked amazing, I got so bored with the straight-ahead, confined levels - no room to explore or use any sort of strategy whatsoever. Just walk down a hall, wait for things to jump out, and shoot. Hopefully A:CM is more free like Halo, and less like Doom. I've never played Gearbox's other military games, though. Which side of this coin do they fall on. Anybody tell me? And as for scans of mags being a no-no, I don't see how it's any different than Borders and Barnes/Noble having tables and chairs right next to the mag rack that practically scream, "Come in, sit down, read a mag, then put it right back on the shelf and not spend a dime!"
