theyre basically the same thing so you can compare them just fine. I don't see why so many people always use this arguement when people try comparing halo and GeOW

Unless you want them to drop the level of the graphics online like GRAW did then you just have to deal with 8.  I'd  rather it still look good and have fewer people than have a bunch of ps2 level graphics guys running around.

8 players in cod2 is ok to a degree but everyone that plays it still wishes they had at least 8v8 games...4v4 is really small, and the levels will have to be tiny as well. For a Killer App 4v4 is unacceptable IMO. That 4v4 experience better be awsome, my expectations have now been elivated.

Sounds like they are going for quality over quantity.  Hopefully it won't have framerate issues out of the box like most recent games.  It looks like they are really taking advantage of the smaller levels by making them all unique and interesting, as there is one with lots of explosives and a gas station, one with degrading cover like couches, and one with a speeding train that goes through the middle and kills everything in it's path.  I'm actually more hyped than ever!!
