The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Unseal the hushed casket of my soul...

CoD4 SinglePlayer = 5-6hrs.

This broke my eagerness for the game. I'm canceling my pre-order. I don't care how strong the multiplayer is, I know for sure I'm not going to play it more than I will play Halo 3. Looks like this'll be a rental for me.

Disappointing, but I think

Disappointing, but I think COD4 stands a good chance of usurping Halo 3 as THX's primary game. I'm gonna fuel that fire and buy it, if only for multiplayer.

My excitement for the game

My excitement for the game has also dwindled. I expected a much longer campaign from CoD4.

The gameplay of the CoD4 MP beta was better than Halo 3, IMO. I might as well buy the game, but I don't think THX will adopt it like they adopted CoD2...especially with all of the other titles coming out soon.

Multiplayer was awesome! I

Multiplayer was awesome! I am definitely buying this one, along with Mass Effect.

I think THX will largely

I think THX will largely adopt COD4. Almost all of us got in on the Beta, and everybody that played it loved it. We regularly had 6 of us online in the Beta. After the full release I can see that being 10 pretty easily. And if 10 of us are playing and raving about it, then the rest will want to join in.

I hope COD4 LANs replace Halo 3 LANs, because as rapture said, I think COD4 multiplayer is more fun than Halo 3 multiplayer. I bet it'll give me all 720 of my horizontal lines too, unlike H3! :)

For me, I will be playing

For me, I will be playing whatever everyone else is playing. That is why I game, to play with everyone else. Except for a few exceptions, that is how I have chosen what games to buy in the past. So, even thought I think Halo 3 is worth playing more than we have and will, I will be switching to CoD4 when it comes out, because that is where my friends will be.

Well, I'll be switching to

Well, I'll be switching to COD4. I don't know if everyone else will. I certainly hope they do, but as you said, I play mostly for the social aspect, so if I'm alone in playing COD4 then I'll probably put H3 back in...but I don't think that will be the case.

Well, that sucks for me. I

Well, that sucks for me. I doubt I'll move to CoD4 since I'm trying to be competitive in Halo 3. Was looking forward to another big LAN :/

Oh well, shit happens.
