Just finished Modern Warfare 2 campaign and it was pretty damn good. I like the way they do their campaigns with a very involved storyline. I prefer openworld FPS where you're forced to really think it through for yourself rather than having a set course, but MWF2 does a good job of giving you the illusion of choice and not feeling like you're totally forced, plus giving some flanking options now and then.
+ Show Spoiler +
Story line was very intense, especially the fights in DC. Especially weird cause I'm on vacation in DC visiting family right now, so during the day I drive by and see all these locations and then I go play the game and they're all in ruins. Evokes some intense feelings.
Didn't care for the mission where I "pretended to be a terrorist"... I kept wanting to shoot the guys I was with but figured that wouldn't go well. So I only shot the security guards and police, didn't do the civilian slaughter. Weird that even in a video game that part of me would kick in and go "not gonna do this shit"
Overall the quality is really good, from the voice actors to the graphics. I didn't run it at full settings cause with COD it's really important to have the game respond smoothly since it's such a fast paced FPS, but even at medium settings it looked pretty damn good. And it ran really well. It's hard to find games that look good and run smoothly these days. So often they're built in a way where if your comp isn't juiced up then you're either gonna have a crappy experience or crappy graphics.
I never end up getting into the multi player but I might give it a try. This worked well as a de-tilt tonight after one of those 150 hand sessions where you get doomswitched for many buyins before anything can even get going. If I have another session like that I'll probably open up the multi player, or at least the special ops and take out the tilt with some mass killing. haha.

The multiplayer is pretty awesome and really makes the game id def try and play it some... it sucks starting out because you have shitty weapons compared to everyone else but still can be fun...
I really didnt like the ending of the single player left a lot of questions and shit I felt but ah well good game for sure |

the single player lasted like 4-5 hrs.. very fkin sad how small the game was
its really really good online though and much more skilled/balanced than mw1
shame there are no dedicated servers (PC) though |

I thought the game was excellent but way to short. After 4 or so hours it feels like you are just warming up and then it ends. Special Ops are ok but its just not the same as story mode. Can't beat Lance Henriksen though. |

i disagree heavily on at least the balance part, as for as skill depth goes i can't tell if it is more demanding per say than mw1. |

I thought the campaign was pretty awesome. I was shocked by how some things went down, but it was really exciting. |

Its time to stop thinking like a bitch and think smart like a poker player - ket | |

yeah the campaign was too short but I expected that as I figured they were mostly going for multiplayer upgrades and so on. And there were definitely some weird twists and the ending was too abrupt. But overall it was intense, engaging and exciting. |
