well the first thing I wanted to see was the airport mission everyone was freaking about.after playing through it I did find it slightly disturbing,but then I thought of thngs 10X worse that I did in other video games

I'm impressed by the campaign, it really delivered the cinematic feel a game needs, though the story seems the same as CoD4, in the things you have to do, but still campaign is great.

Spec-Ops is fun though I haven't played it much what I have played is fun, and challenging the missions are very challenging and fun, so this was a good bonus mode.

Multi-Player is great it is a balanced game unlike everyone thought and still had no repetitive gameplay as there are now 70 Lvls with tons of unlocks and customizations that make it home sweet home for any gamer, Pre-set classes include perks that are unlocked at higher Lvls and you start out with a 50 Cal. sniper often a one hit kill if you hit them right.

First Thoughts: 19/20

I've heard some things about the airport mission, even the guy that did our guide mentioned it was disturbing - what happens?

ALso hear that the single player campaign is a bit short, do you think this detracts from the value of the game, probably most people buy this for the online action - I don't know, I've not played the series.

you and a bunch of russians go to an airport and start killing hundreds of civilians

The graphics look superb, I haven't had a chance to play the game yet though.

Online is probaly the best online game I have ever played. The graphics are better, the game seems to run a bit smoother, way more options. etc... etcc...

You have to give online a shot, its basically amazing.

Been playing campaign for about two hours, I've never played a CoD game before this, but this is something else, it's amazing.

I'll have to check online out a bit later, after I'm actually OK at the game.

Im on Exodus now. My fav part so far was bombing the massive downhill on the snowmobile

My friend on Live has it, he says it sucks. He hates it.
But me, never played or seen any videos on it.
Plus not a fan of CoD.

In the airport the character you play goes with other Russian to kill hundreds of people in Airport. I didn't really find it disturbing to be honest. The best scene is when you walk in the lobby and all the flights turn to "Delayed."

Even though the campaign isn't too long, it still is great. The plot is amazing.

^I died like 4 times there. Damn exploding jet engines

I like at the end when Makarov shoots you in the head

Online is amazing, although it seems to me that kills are so easy to come by. When I first started (when I actually managed to jump into a game by using the 'join session' feature through the 'invite' screen because I couldn't find a TD game) and I was playing Hardcore TD (unlocked at lvl 19 I think - I was still lvl 1) I managed to get 25 kills using the FAMAS and that was with a really sucky connection & a ton of lag.

Aside from fairly easy deaths (both when I've been shooting at, and been shot at) my main gripe is that from early on, the games were almost impossible to find, I would spend 30minutes at minimum trying to get into a game, play 4 of 5 games then spend another 30 minutes min. before getting into another game. The only time I ever manage to get straight into a game without a long wait is when I play Ground War (I think its called.) Through a lot of my games there has been a ton of lagging, and everyone on my PSN friendslist that plays MW2 all have the same complaints, the game isn't totally smooth. Sure, I guess that's to be expected from a new game, but given the length of time this has had in development I would have though it would've been better than what it is.

On a side note, the invite system sucks, they should've kept it the same as MW.

I did find "No Russian" a little disturbing, but once i understood why they did it, it made a little sense, they made it look like a bunch of Americans started killing Russian civilains and killed some Russian Spec ops. It basically gave Russia a reason to invade the US and start slaughtering 100 US civilians for ever Russian killed in the air port.

The campaign is brilliant although a little on the short side, similar to COD4's. Multi-player is an improvement much more fun, no longer get grenade spammed for some reason and the maps are alot more open which i preffer.

That's mainly why you're not getting grenade spammed maps are larger and no more x3 Frags.

I didn't find it too disturbing, but when they first started killing the Civilians I was actually really shocked, because I didn't know what was going to happen. Just a bit shocking.

I had a moment in "No Russian" where I rushed over with my knife to a dude crawling on the ground to perform euthanasia when one of the other russians shot him, so I cried "KS!" and shot him to death before getting gunned down by the other Russians. There was also the bit with the ambulance at the end where Makarov says "Don't shoot" so I shot the back of the ambulance for fun and recieved bullets to the head which ****** me off the next time when the doors happened and well... you know what happens.

I saw the trailer, knew Makarov was a ****, and was holding a gun. Not too surprising.

I actually beat the game on the release date with in like 6-10 hours of getting my copy...

The campaign was pretty good but it was WAY too short...

But at least the multiplayer (or what I have seen so far) is pretty good...

Doesn't seem all that short when you're playing on Veteran and you die every six or seven steps. ;)
