the game came out today. I wonder how many people just went straight online instead of playing through singleplayer.

Quite a few, I imagine.

Has anyone noticed any movie references in the SP campaign?

I can see a few movie references, but the big one was obviously "WOLVERINES!!!"

Another noticeable one is within the mission "The Gulag": The layout of the shower room, and the ensuing firefight within, is almost identical to the one in The Rock.

Well the layout of the shower room is almost exactly like the one in the Rock, except it's longer. And of course, enemies came from the other side of the area as well as from the elevated positions. I believe Rainbow Six did The Rock moment as well.

I've got a handful. In D.C when your chopper goes down, you have your weapon and one magazine. Sgt. Foley then gives you his last magazine so that you can help fend off the Russians. It was very Black Hawk Down, no?

Also, while not really references, but more coincidence, the voice acting for Sgt. Foley and Cpl. Dunn, the two other main characters for the Rangers Campaign were done by Keith David (who played King in Platoon), and Barry Pepper (who played Pvt. Daniel Jackson in Saving Private Ryan), respectively.

For gamers, Keith David is more known as the Arbiter in Halo. Foley was a character seen in previous Call of Duty games

My point is that he has played a role in a movie about an actual war, not that he was another videogame character.

The other "Foley" Was Cpt. Foley from the first game and the United Offensive pack, and was voiced by Steven Blum, not Keith David, so technically, no, Keith David's Sgt. Foley is a new character to the franchise.

Which brings us to CAPTAIN PRICE, the most awesome British war veteran over 100 years old to ever exist in a game! He will never die!
