I'm all about option D. I said the same thing when all this bonus crap was announced before the game released. I understand that lots of people like all the arcadey stuff and that's cool, just have an option for those who don't because I think there are enough of us.
I look at it like Call of Duty (though I look at everything like Call of Duty it seems since MW2 came out
). That game offers a hardcore mode for people who don't want to play the insane normal mode. Some like it, some don't at least they gave us an option!
