Woot, one of my buddies sent me an invite! No idea when it "officially" starts though.

If I worked at IW, I would.
It's sort of awesome. Everytime I go on, I play with gaming "celebrities". A bunch of IW guys and a lot of Bungie guys are on (I kicked Shishka's ass!). It's tons of fun, but hard to get into a game since there is like a max of 50 people on... But man, once you find a game you are golden.
Yesterday I kicked some ass. I had one moment where I owned pretty much the entire team.
So, I was in "Vacant", a pretty close quarters map. I went into the area near the beginning of this video with all of the crates ( http://www.gamespot.com/video/939212/6176872/videoplayerpop? ) and I managed to get three kills in a row. Awesome, deployed the UAV so my team could see the enemy on radar. I managed to get two more, so I'm up to five. Awesome! Air strike baby. Since my UAV was still deployed I could still see their locations on radar. I just dropped it right in the middle of the group where they spawned I think, and then *whoosh* three jets come flying in and drop bombs. Holy shit I got another five kills! I only needed another two to get access to the gunship, so I just called that sucker in and got a few more kills. I probably had a 12 kill streak on a team of 6 people.
Then some bastard C4'ed my ass cause they had UAV and he was waiting for me.*Edit* Oh, and no idea why it's 18 only. More than likely that restriction is put on by the ATVI legal department.

Aye, we need more info! What's the teamplay like? In that video did I hear something about squads?
How frantic is it? Fast paced deathmatch as per with past COD games or do the Perks and added gameplay elements like deep impact tone mindless gung-ho attitudes down?

*Edit*
Okay, spawn system works similar to CoD 2.
It's just like CoD2 in terms of gameplay. Perks merely enhance the action and don't really mess with the core gameplay. It doesn't really change anyone's attitude towards the game too much, since there's a lot of counters. For example, Juggernaut only allows you to take like another bullet or two
There's no squads or anything set up in-game. Just a big team.
The challenges also add a nice touch. Things such as getting X number of kills is what unlocks perks and attachments. You don't start off with everything. You do start off with some nice weapons though, so the older level people don't own the younger people too bad. Obviously they tend to have more perks and better weapons.
There are three maps. One is a Black Hawk Style close-quarters maps. Then there is a slightly larger one called Vacant. The biggest is one called Overgrown. Snipers love this map.
Speaking of snipers, the ghillie suits you see actually work! If a sniper lies down in the grass, he can be tough to spot. The artists did an awesome job on it. Obviously if you see him move, you can recognize about where he is and kill him, but he can be pretty tricky to spot.
Anyways, it's awesome and you guys will for sure have to check it out when it's released.
