Editor's Note: Activision hosted a review event for this game and provided lodging, transportation, and food for the event. This review is based on playing the game at the event and then a some multiplayer with the final retail version of the game.
"It's that time of year again," I hear a lot of people saying. Some with a snicker and others with enthusiasm.
