AAH I love how this happens AFTER the creative mode implementation.


People are going nuts over it, Mw3 has held the top for months.. once people run out of things to build MW3 will take it back for a little bit till Black Ops 2 comes out.

Sad but true.


It'll take a while for people to run out of things to build in creative..
