Assuming you simply log on and do a quick search for a match type, you're just thrown into a room with up to 12 people in it. I think the host is assigned automatically (probably decided by the server by lowest ping or something like that).

That would be a new experience for me. Most of the time when I play a shooter online it's at least 8 a side

I'm assuming Huddy means the canteen that comes with it It's a flask iirc.

I'm more interested in the MP than the SP for this which is unusual for me. I love CoD4 on the 360 but I can see how it's just more of the same on the PC where it's up against things like BF2 etc.

Oh and the release date is 11th November afaik

My mistake with the release date. Game are quoting 14th November. As well as offering early beta access to the MP: http://www.game.co.uk/lowdown.aspx?l...neral-_-codwaw

I'm a fan of smaller numbers unless it's a Battlefield type game.
Battlefield: Bad Company is 24 players online and the servers are dedicated, so it's not always p2p.
