Listener Questions, Comments, and Reviews

Listener Question #1.

Hi Aidan and Jason!

I was wondering if they have improved the multiplayer for MW in MW3, besides the lag, or if MW2 is just as good just because it's all the same and there is no lag.

Pretty much I'm asking for you to compare the two games in multiplayer. Which one is better?

Thanks!

-Coltrane

Listener Question #2

Greetings, how are you good sirs? I was curious, as to what your opinion upon the Assassins Creed multiplayer might be?

From Alistair Kreagan of Holland.
