OH NOES! Another Modern Warfare 2 thread!

[Kollega]

I am Andrew Ryan, and I'm here to ask you a question. No,it's not about man and whether he is entitled to a sweat on his brow. It's not about dedicated servers or mandatory Steam activation or increased prices or whatever.

It's about the nature of Modern Warfare 2 itself.

Think about it. Why did you like CoD 4? I doubt it was because of multiplayer. Most likely,you were impressed by a single-player campaign. Which was a blast,from start to finish. It was new highest point in "hard-scripted FPS" subgenre. Multiplayer was merely a hefty addition. Yet most of the whining i hear now is about dedicated servers and other multiplayer issues. Sure,multiplayer is good,but is it really important when all the good stuff Cod 4 got praised for is in the singleplayer campaign?

Though i could understand all the backlash in case MW2's campaign sucked. The real question is - does it?

Oh,and try to avoid spoilers.

The way i describe the single-player campaign is...

Remember in CoD4, how awesome the missions "All Gillied Up/One Shot One Kill" were the first time you played them compared to the rest of the missions?

Thats how every mission is in MW2.

The story was the main reason I bought MW2. People may complain about the multiplayer but they can't deny the story is good. Not realistic but still a very good story.

Big words.

I really want to play the single player.

I haven't finished the single player yet- playing on Veteran and I'm rusty, so its taking me a while longer- but so far its been brilliant. My one beef that carried over from COD4 is the number of enemies. Its extremely annoying to be stuck in one place for five minutes killing all the attackers just so you can move without getting killed.

It's good, nothing new but hey. The singleplayer is enjoyable.

The multiplayer, especially on PC, isn't great. It's quite unbalanced now and doesn't flow as well.

The multiplayer on the console is actually better. Its much easier to organize a party now.

|I heard that the story campaign for MW2 is very short, only 6-7 hours, is this true?

I enjoyed CoD4 for the multiplayer. The campaign was probably the best FPS campaign I had played at the time, but I only played it once. Multiplayer was the selling point and my main method of play.

Same for MW2. I don't give 2 shits about the campaign, I bought it for multiplayer.

I doubt it was because of multiplayer.

I was actually most impressed with the multiplayer.

The single player was epic and all.But it has not consumed weeks of my life.

Single player is good it gets very interesting!
