I pretty much disregard any perfect game reviews. That being said, the dissapointingly short length of the single player is a little off-putting. Maybe a rental, but I got Dragon Age to finish first.

This makes me very, very happy. From the Giantbomb review:

Quote:
The system of class creation has been expanded in spots and heavily reworked in others. Perks that got a lot of complaints in COD4, like Martyrdom and Juggernaut, have been heavily reworked. For starters, Martyrdom is now a "deathstreak" bonus. If you die four times in a row without killing anyone, your next spawn will give you one instance of Martyrdom. This makes it a lot more rare, as opposed to COD4, where almost every player dropped a grenade every time they died. Juggernaut is gone completely, but there's a rough equivalent to it in Painkiller, another deathstreak perk that will spawn you with triple health if you die three times in a row... but the health bonus only lasts for ten seconds after spawning. Everything feels changed up just enough to feel totally fresh while still letting you outfit the type of character you want.

I thought no perk was more annoying than Martyrdom. And the problem isn't getting a kill after you die, the problem I had with it was that the grenade was "pre-cooked" and went off in only a fraction of the time it should've taken. It was a cheap kill. This is an acceptable alternative.

Right, if it was a full timed grenade it wouldn't have bothered me, those are easy to throw away or run from.

I really liked the game (yeah, I finished already). But, it's not a 10. For brevity alone the game has to take a few hits. It's short. Really short. Really, really short.

I finished CoD4 in about 9 hours. This didn't take anywhere near that long. And, yeah, even though it was a terrific ride with many twists and turns, it needs to take it's lumps for being so short.

I only played one game of MP (TDM) and I liked it quite a bit. The map was bigger than most maps from CoD4, which was a welcome relief. And, of course, early on in the release nearly everyone was of the same rank.

I have had a good time so far. The only of CoD game that I played was World at War, so this is still fairly new for me. I have done a decent amount of the single player campaign, and feel like I am fairly far along in it, and played MP with a friend for a while this afternoon. MP was fun, but I feel like it is one of those things that will be fun with friends, and not so much with random people.

That's exactly how I felt about COD4, to much run and gun w/ the bunny hoppers! I really liked the campaign in Coop, Coot and I finished the campaign last night w/ 2 othe guys.

My brother already finished MW2 last night after just getting it, wasn't happy w/ how short it is!
