You know I'm actually quite suprised they have announced BO3 for the GCN.....

It's definatly good news though, as it has confirmed the release of B03 as well at TS3, and while alot of people may not like the idea of EA being publishing it, Free Radical, and Criterion are still behind their games, so the quality will still be there. (Hopefully)
