    Anyone else feels like there's a TON of games that should be bought all of a sudden? My wallet's empty already.
    Want this game really bad though, never got a chance to try COD 4, don't want to let this game slip by me either.

    @Castillo6973TM
    yes its very short
    4 Hours at maximum meaning if you take your time in this game it will be no longer than 4 hours....disappointing isn't it?

    Is the single campaign shorter than the first MW?

    Just completed the campaign, it was AWESOME!! Sooo looking forward to playing the spec ops online co-op all day tomorrow lol :-) I wish I could play through the campaign again co-op tho, it was ridiculously intense! Maybe campaign co-op in MW3 devs?? Not complaining though, worth every penny, gonna be happy with the multiplayer and spec ops for a looong time. Wicked shooter. Looking forward to BFBC2 as well... can it match how fun this?? I hope it comes close, I was well disappointed with the Op Flashpoint scores. ---

    BTW, I gotta disagree with the reviewer when he says it's tarnished by the 'murky' plot (the terrorist mish). It's only a fraction of the gameplay, and in my opinion, it actually enhances, by contrast, all the 'heroic' parts. War IS murky. I'd have more of a problem with it if they'd pulled some punches and cheesed up the plot like some tacky patriot-propaganda ad.

    Why is it that the stories are never nailed in most shooters these days? Good thing everything else is done well in games these days

    WARNING KINDA A SPOILER!:The terrorist mission isnt that fun or exciting if you decide not to kill any civillians you are pretty much walking for about 15 minutes and if you get in your allies crosshairs while shooting your screwed because they have LMG's and they can kill you if you decide to defend yourself, after about 5 bullets hit your ally macarov will accuse you of being a traitor and kill you. then you have to fight the police but you only end up spending about 5 minutes shooting them to get in the van and have macarov shoot you and leaave you for dead.

    The best gameplay ever, I do recommend everyone that likes first person shooting games to buy this!, totally worth the 50$..

    This Game is Sick. I completed it on Veteran. It was INSANELY frustrating. Prestige Edition is Sick. NVG's are Sick. Multiplayer is SOOO addictive. Excellent Game 10/10 for me.

    To DESTRUCTIVELBP.What was the difficulty level on finished the game?
    (Because i can't believe that you could achieve it in 4.5 hours on hardened mode...)

  • tarkankoc71

    Posted Nov 24, 2009 12:12 am PT

    superrrrrr

  • E-Man45

    Not that a 9.0 isn't excellent, but I agree with IGN's 9.5 on this one.

  • left4right

    Posted Nov 23, 2009 7:35 am PT

    150 million $ for advertising? and no dedicated servers

  • KING_LEWY

    Posted Nov 22, 2009 5:46 am PT

    I luved this game and enjoyed playing the Spec Ops missions with friends, but i kinda wish you play the campaign co-op like on world at war. its was quite fun playing arcade mode with a friend. But still overall great game and the multiplayer will keep me occupied for months

  • DESTRUCTIVELBP

    Posted Nov 22, 2009 1:31 am PT

    Single player is fun but way to short (finished the game in 4.5 hours) and the plot is really twisted. Co-op missions are a blast to play with a friend but definitely not meant to be played by yourself, and multiplayer is about as good as you can get in a game. Overall this game gets a 9/10.

    Amazing game. However, I am very, very pissed off at the 'automatic locale' search; I barely ever get a good Australian/New Zealand game.

    I was hoping for IW to use a 'manual locale' search like in Trey's World At War; if you see this IF, very, very bad decision!

  • DjTIEST0

    the true is. peoples love this game

  • kaynefart

    Posted Nov 21, 2009 9:16 pm PT

    love this game but i hate when u get a care package and the heli drops in on top of a building and u cant get it but still thats bad thing i experienced

  • EyeShatteredSky

    Posted Nov 21, 2009 6:40 pm PT

    Singer-player was an absolute blast from beginning to satisfying end! Multiplayer is fun as well, but I find myself returning to the main game again and again!

  • CaptPerez

    BAD they need more dedicate servers and dont fire the people who make this video games the GOOD thing is the action all the time is real mature game so Kids go to sleep..

  • lolzo

    Posted Nov 21, 2009 12:35 pm PT

    split screen in codmw2 is terrible. you cant play online with it

  • coldsauce09

    Posted Nov 20, 2009 10:13 pm PT

    i hope infinity ward gets a new publisher... activision sucks so much.. and wait you know why the campaign is so short? cuz probly they will make a DLC so they can milk us consumers

  • zevy100

    @ midbackman ...........at the beginning of the video THERS A BRIGHT BLUE SCREEN THAT SAY WATCH AT OWN RISK

  • aaroquesi

    Posted Nov 20, 2009 6:07 am PT

    only thing its bothering me right now about MW2 is the online session which connect just a couple of times and now it wont, the same thing is happening to MW also and it never happened before looks there are some server issues because other games just connect right away, ill wait for them to fix that : (

  • rohan_kamps

    Posted Nov 20, 2009 2:20 am PT

    luk guys i agree with with u that they shuad hav invested more on campaign. but this game didnt sell soooo many units for no reason!!
    its star is the multiplayer which is unbelievable and offering unlimited gameplay time!! and also the campaign short but intensively full with action and also re playable....and with soo many users now the multiplayer will be awesome....im a user i am recomending this game to all of ya.....
    if u dont want itu are missing a great one....and the guys who hate this i request them 2 giv this game another chance n im sure it will blow ur mind away...next is ur wish....im just a common person searching a fun factor in a game...

    If we all can shoot unarmed zombies, what´s the big deal killing some unarmed innocent people? come on grow up and read the box where it says "M for Mature"

  • fiskefyren

    Posted Nov 19, 2009 8:11 am PT

    high price? meh... i got mine for less than 26$

    the best mission is the last one at the museum when you press a button and they all try to kill you
