You know the Campaign made me think... Gonna spoiler it all
The ending of the airport mission is a pivotal point to the plot as well, so it isn't an useless mission
Russia attacks US. Now, in US many of us think no one is ever going to attack us, but the game actually made me think about it and it's very, very possible. Kinda shocked me, didn't think it would.

Yup-yup! Are we forgetting COD4 MP issues? The first couple days I wasn't getting on and then it wouldn't save my character. I was losing levels for the first couple weeks.
Picked it up this morning. I'm not surprised with the SP complaints, though I won't take them to heart. COD SP has a very particular style. They are best when played fast and furious. This makes them good for multiple runs. People are complaining about the 'shocking' scripted events but that's also par for the course. Nobody does it quite like IW. If you like what they do then I'm sure you'll have no compliants.

I'm in two missions, and SP is good so far. I was underwhelmed by the first mission, but the second (snow) mission was a hell of a lot of fun. Too bad I had already seen so many videos of it...
MP, on the other hand, will ruin my life, transcript, and eyesight. It is ALL KINDS of awesome. The maps are, for the most part, terrific.

i agree that how it ended was cool but I just think overall it could have had more impact with better narrative..............correction............... some narrative, there really wasn't any during that segment till the end. i find the most disturbing things are what you can imagine, not necessarily what is shown to you and that could have been both if they really wanted that effect with a little narrative. It felt more like a slideshow to me rather than a story sequence imho.
On another note, as a GTA fan for years, I don't get the controversy or the big deal of this segment. Seriously. You can do worse in other games which don't even warn you beforehand. The choice is there from the get go, chose your pleasure accordingly.

I hate to quote myself but this thread is moving fast and I figured that someone has to know the answer to my question.

Funny how other games get lambasted over length of campaigns. But it's all about the Multiplayer!

So no trophies for MP even if you registered them to XMB pre 1.01?
Or are they retroactive?

I don't really care how long the campaign is as long as it's good. I don't really have time to play long campaigns anyway. Besides, the MP is what gives games like this there staying power.

I have the NVGs. They're not bad, but they're not great either. Image is quite blurry but they work enough to walk around in the pitch black. I've nothing else to compare them with, maybe if I'd tried an expensive pair first I'd call them complete rubbish but they perform as I expected them to.ALeperMessiah said:
Just seen IGN and Gametrailers review. I agree with them on every part except the story. I personally think the story is amazing and well presented. In a first person shooter games seeing the plot unfold through your point of view is much more engaging than watching it through a cutscene.
IGN UK also say they think the story is poorly put together and confusing again I disagree. All of this is ofcourse my personal opinion but I thought it flows very well with buildup and tension for some of the games big surprises. The characters are very likable and feel real. It helps that there all voice acted by very competant and talented people (Keith David is a legend).
All in all I loved every second of the campaign. Its not very long but the campaign itself has plenty of replay value and more than its fair share of hell yeah moments.

The only problem is the final score didn't seem to take into effect that they were ragging on the story.

Room-mate has the 360 version. Didn't like the campaign at first but it keeps getting better and better. It lives up to the hype as much as anyone could reasonably expect it to really.

Yes, that´s what i am trying to say. With other game:
-story short
-story incoherent
-not enought innovation, samey
-AI scripted
-not enough free roaming.
-too gamey.
-multiplayer: an update.
-graphics: the best of PS3, but what ?.
marks:
-single player 80
-multiplayer 85
-innovation 70
OVERALL 72
Come on! if even COD WAW had a better campaign and had much lower scores!.

Started the sp earlier today and just finished Pvt Ramirez's first mission. I don't think its gripping me like COD4 did but it is still fun.

Each negative comment in a review is worth .5 points, correct? You take all of them and subtract from 10, right?amstradcpc said:

Did you guys see Michael McWhertor's lede on his Kotaku review?
Wow... I can't imagine a more cliched, terrible lede. With all due respect Michael, you had like 2 weeks to write this review and that's what you came up with? That made it past editing? Yikes...just boring, boring writing.
