umm, ok. a group of terrorists with a undercover agent kill a bunch of people. world war 3 starts, oh shit the russians blew up the white house, american flags, american flags, somehow we ended WW3. turns out our military chief is a traitor, he kills you. another character goes to kill him at his secret base in afghanistan or wherever, you end up lying on the ground for 5 minutes waiting for the credits to roll.

oh ya, it all happens in 7 days.

not to mention you cant skip any talking scenes and the levels are A to B theres no shortcuts (basically the levels are static, no exploring)

the game is good, mainly online, but the solo campaign is terrible

Are you serious? I don't think I have ever gotten into a campaign more than this one. I liked it enough to go back and play it veteran. Maybe its not for everyone but I thought it was great.

Nice troll. The single player is bomb, the multi player is total garbage.

Model 1887's can eat dicks.

They're nasty if you're using them. But watching killcams of getting blown away from across the map gets old...they can eat dicks.

I'll go with the plot was pretty weak with a bunch of holes. But that's it. If you didn't have fun playing this single player, you either don't like shooters, or you're playing on a crappy ass TV. This was probably the closest a video game has actually made me feel to being "in the game." It was stunning.

You can skip talking scenes after the load up, press start. And the other scenes you can't skip are so short it doesn't matter because you need a break between intense battles. How can you complain about the last scene, your 5 minute scene is actually only about 2 minutes, and it's a pretty sweet fight, those dudes threw some hard punches.Sure, the game ends after you get in the raft, but it's still a good ending.

Yes, you can explore levels to an extent. That's how intel is found to fully complete the game, just don't trigger the next wave. But no, it's not an open world environment, why would it be? It's COD for god's sake, a story game, not a free world experience.

and i should add that the single player in any of these games is just like a bonus part of the game in my mind. theyre fun but the online multiplayer is what is so awesome about cod games. so i couldnt care less if the plot is weak or whatever. the WHITE HOUSE man, you get to fight inside it! thats sick!

i don't like campaigns where you go from point a to point b while shooting tons of enemy's who all suck. sure it looks cool but its not really fun cause theres no challenge in it and its too linear, you don't really get to choose what happens.

online is another story tho

No missions close to as good as "All Ghillied Up" in COD4
Pretty good campaign thought.

There was nothing original about the campaign but it was fun to play and flowed well enough (if you don't suck) to have someone watch like it was a movie.

No replay value though.

The story is that of a Bruckheimer summer blockbuster. Only gripe was it was short and there wasn't a level like "All Ghuillied Up" from the first MW.

the only thing i didnt like about it was that it was too short. i mean i can understand not wanting to make it unnecessarily long, but i dont think anyone would have complained if there were a few more levels.

You make good points about the not being able to skip and stuff like that and the crawling at the end was boring but the action parts were fun enough to make it worth it. I really missed the sniper levels like yeah there were some alright ones but all guillied up was much better

It was better cause that was ALL it was. I felt like I was playing a level from "Sniper" or "Shooter"

Its only like that when if you played it on recruit, if you play veteran you actually have to think about where you need to go. More often than not there is that one really obvious route but there are always a lot of times you can flank them.

im doing it on veteran right now and its pretty easy

and i have a nice tv, so its not that. so far from some of the comments its: too short, too easy, shitty plot, and people "dont buy it for the campaign". so i win, basically haha

If you expected MW2's campaign to be anything other than an action packed movie-esque linear story you are just dumb. We all knew that's what it was and most people enjoy it.

I didnt understand the plot completly, but the gameplay was sick.  Did you really expect to be able to explore in a game that is not an rpg.
