5. Ground War Is Entertaining 64-Player Mayhem

Though Ground War definitely needs some work, Infinity Ward at least deserves credit for finally delivering a larger-scale multiplayer mode that attempts to match the insanity of the Battlefield skirmishes.

While Activision claims that the final retail version will feature over 100 players, even 64 players makes for a uniquely dynamic - and yes, chaotic - Call of Duty experience.

Some will surely find the action too busy for their tastes, especially with the broken spawn system being what it is, but if the developer can iron out the issues while delivering 100-player carnage, this could easily end up Modern Warfare's main selling point (especially with the apparent lack of a Battle Royale mode).
