I started the SP campaign this afternoon at three and finished it about ten minutes ago.
And now I want to do it all over again.
It was more entertaining, more gripping, and more emotional for me than COD4, certainly more than that piece of crap MW2. I wanted to finish the campaign. I wanted to see it through. The end broke my heart and it really tells you a small part of the story of what these guys went through in the initial stages of the invasion of Afghanistan.
Politics aside, it was something that 'got' me. I wanted to do more. I wanted to wreak vengeance, but I also felt some sympathy for our brave men and women who went through some of the most horrific events I've ever seen in a game. There were several points in which I kept saying, "oh, no..." and that is the mark of a good game. If you care about what happens to the characters, it's a good game. I knew these guys were real. They really did the things I played in the game.
It was a decent tribute to these folks and it was a riveting game. I have not played COD:BO yet, but as a game, it has a lot to live up to.

I'm still playing through it but I like it. It's still channeled, but it's not a tightly packed hallway they drive you through. Slow enough that you don't feel rushed through it. Fun variety of things to do even if you don't get any choice of when to do what. Also I've missed having a single shot option on guns, too many games these days leave that out. Nice to have that in here. The game actually has the long-lost Last Man Standing game type too, I wish more games still offered that these days. Rarely anyone in there unfortunately, but I jump in when I see them.

I find it incredible that many critics gave MOH a lower score than COD Black Ops. What's so incredible about this?? Critics and reviewers are mostly just a bunch of yes men - if there's a bandwagon to jump on, they will jump on it!! CoD Black Ops is the follow-up to the fastest selling game of all time while MoH hadn't seen anything in 3-4 years....of course critics are going to score it higher!! Just one more example of why critic and reviewer opinions should be taken with a grain of salt. Please don't take my comments personally, I'm not jumping on anyone and I'm not defending either game (I have issues with both). I'm just tired of the hype these games are getting these days, I think it's hurting all gaming. I realize this is just my opinion.....there are apparently millions of others who disagree.....
I'm a reasonable guy, but I've just experienced some very unreasonable things...

Just played COD4 and it just doesn't even measure up. MOH is a slower-paced game that at least encourages you to seek cover every now and then.
I put Black Ops on my Christmas list...kinda wondering if I should have now.

I agree...MoH didn't have non-stop commercials on TV, sports promos, or a Land Rover "Black Ops" edition lol! If Treyarch/Activision used the millions of $$ they used for advertising to make a better game they could have made one of the best game ever.

Lol, well a few things Got married, moved to Florida, got a job doing VBS work so they frowned on doing community work and I became a home owner out in the Florida wilderness. The first and last just kill so much freetime Also my PC just can't do ARMA2 but this year I'll be upgrading the PC and changing employment so I'll be getting back into things. Oh and the 5-6 years of constant never ending modding burned me out
