Amazing game, as expected with few "details"...

User Rating: 9 | Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 X360
Yesterday I finished downloading COD6.., just woke up today & I started with the game... First impressions: amazing in all aspects. heheehe it feels like drinking a coca cola, at an hot sunny summer noon, somewhere in New Mexico: in one swallow.... Thats what I did. I started at 2 pm and i was done buy 9 pm, since today is a day off here. I will try to express what is this all about:
1. Graphics. absolutely stunning. lighting, shadows, textures, everything is just perfect. It ran at full throttle on my old nvidia 8800 GTX with 768Mb DDR3, at 1980x1080. all settings at max. absolutely flawlessly. the level of details will make you forget many games you have seen before. buildings, cars, furniture inside, everithing just amazing.. and can be destroyed. hehehehe. almost everything :)
2. Controls. good. similar to crysis, half-life, and many others. 1 point: some keys I assigned didnt work (the keypad).... i have been unable to do anything..
but it wasn`t a big deal.
3.Gameplay. immersive, intense, addictive... like i said before, i passed the game in 1 piece (i had no intention to play, at all: I spent almost all night before, playing Unreal online...), maybe it is a bit rigid, since the game play "draws" you through the game, almost no time for exploration of the fascinating world around... after a couple of hours of playing i had a strange sansation.... I saw it before.... Deja Vu, hehhe. I explain. there are some key moment, during the game, that will be pretty ¨familiar" to you, such as invasion of US by russians, a classical situation in Hollywood, combat in "Gulag" lavatory (you will remember The Rock, scene in Alcatras...), the take of white house, that smells like take of Reichstag, in WWII, for sure many films & games come to your mind... the scene than the soldiers reach the roof of white house & turn on green flares... again The Rock. and some others. in conlusion, the screenplay is interesting, but it is far from be original, more likely a recopilation of good screenplays form several great movies...
4. Violence. ok, I must confess: I enjoy violence (in games, of corse), and during my long career as gamer, i have killed a lot of all kind of living (and not) beings, human and not. and i really enjoy it, but COD6, has a new approach: shooting a crowd (in moscow airport), playing as terrorist of course... I did it, and, a while after, i had a sansation that something is.... wrong. I guess this part should never appear there, maybe as movie, but not as a part of the game, where the player kills peole, by dozens... I have almost 20 years shooting everithing that moves, in games, but i think that this part could send a wrong message...
5. playtime. in my opinion the game is a bit short, it took to me less than 10 hours to pass single player... I guess it could be a bit longer...
For sure I will play it again in these days

Conclusions: this game rocks, despite some flaws, it rocks. and it will become a classic, which is completely deserved.
