I can't figure out how to change the fire-mode on my weapons 
Otherwise, I thought it was alright. I'm not in any hurry to play it anymore, but I'll probably pick it up when I can find it cheap.
IW always did have a flare for scripting, and I've never really minded heavily scripted games myself, so I'm sure it won't disappoint there. As others have said, it's more COD. I liked COD, so I'll find some time for this one some day.
The health system is a nice try at something different, and I didn't mind it at all.
OTOH, I can definitely see where poeple get the impression there have been quite a few concessions made to those pesky consoles. I'm pretty sure you can't switch fire-mode anymore, for example.. I've never felt the need for a "grenade threat indicator" or a "jump over this box capability indicator", and I think it's plain weird that they've simultaneously diminished the HUD and added to it
I was also able to mow down waaay too many enemies through completely impenetrable smoke thanks to the handy red-crosshair.
Couple other silly gripes: the ubiquitous waypoint marker no longer tells you if an objective is above or below you (which, albeit a small thing, hardly really screams remove me, either). I also thought it was pointlessly annoying to have an NPC constantly screaming hints at you one minute ("flank 'im from the riiiight!!!" x10,000), and then never do it again.
*shrug* oh well.. ya can't have everything

I'm not even angry. I'm being so sincere right now, even though you broke my heart and killed me.
