I loved the low-key music that played in the first one. (Crew Expendable (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iw0RVrQon1A) with the subtle sonar blips and the heartbeat rhythm in Blackout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kE7wPMI2IQ). IIRC, there wasn't a separate volume slider for music and you had no way of turning it off even in multiplayer. I don't mind Zimmer's work (The Rock and Gladiator)...just hope it's not something in your face, adrenaline pumping all the time.
FIrst Bobby Kotick jokes about raising prices, THEN they raise the price of MW2 PC to $60, then they announce this? Why don't they just announce that 100% of the combat will consist of quick-time events?
Hans Zimmer-esque "pop-classical" movie score music is the scourge of the gaming music industry, and I wish that more game studios would grow a pair and try to make a different genre work.

Low key my ass! Zimmer is the greatest score composer alive! This is epic - might have to grab this now simply to listen to the soundtrack. The gameplay doesn't look to be anything impressive - same old same old.
