It'll probably be Treyarchs best cod game for sure. But that's about it. There seems to be a bigger fan base for modern shooters than futuristic and historic shooters nowadays. I'm all in for the coop mode however, if my friends decide they want to coop cod5. That would be the only reason I'd buy it.

However in my opinion, the coop lovers and friends will be headed to left 4 dead.

I loved playing Left 4 Dead at E3. Great co-op action. I think CoD5's co-op might be almost as good. It shares some similarities with Left 4 Dead, too -- the healing teammate mechanic, the emphasis on ambushes, strong level design, etc.
