1.)I have noticed that the release dates have changed on and off, apparently on steam you can purchase it on a pre-order, the date is noted it unlocks on October 8th 2008, is this true?

2.)If I have a steam copy of the game, will I be able to play online with players who bought in fresh from the store.

3.)This is a very rare question in my opinion, will we be able to create mods or even maps for this game, possibly any 3rd Party Mods such as our own Coop mod.

4.)Will this game be released, and then dropped in the pile of "Games we don't really give a crap about". No offense, but some of the games released have occurred to have just been given up on, no patches or anything.

5.)Are PC owners ever going to get to create our own dedicated servers, or even purchase servers?

Sorry if these questions have already been asked, I am kind of in a hurry here, I already ordered the game, and I really need to no whether or not I just wasted 60$. Please respond to the best of your knowledge. I have realized that some people have been acting low about this game, and I really need answers. So while everyone else waits for Call of Duty 218, I am going to just assume this game is worth it.
