so that was interesting, just finished it in one sitting, pretty standard length for a cod game, but it was actually pretty enjoyable. very tight, nice story arc, some pretty decent graffixx considering the engine, gunplay was good, encounters weren't bullshit, a lot of variety in the gameplay. overall it's probably one of the better cod games so far, i'd go so far as to say it was 2nd only to cod4 (if we ignore the ww2 cods). the hatred surrounding the game seems to purely be down to cod-fatigue at this point which is completely understandable. it goes to show that no matter how good the games are, if you pump out 1 a year then people will get tired of it. and i don't see how far they need to push it in order to make people love it like they loved cod4. with the might of activision and the sheer number of developers working on these projects they could do something really polished and impressive, and definitely fun. i am sure activision/infinity ward have something up their sleeves, as the cod train can't keep going forever, but it's nice to see that they aren't just doing a complete by-the-numbers campaign, even though it would undoubtedly sell just as well. i'd recommend this to anyone who still has a slight interest in modern fps games, it's not bad at all!
