 - Great Campaign, even better multiplayerI started out borrowing this game from a friend for like a month, but now its been 3 months and he doesn't have his game and im still happily playing it. I used to play Halo 3 a lot more than i have recently began to play this game. It requires strategy and thinking tactically. It also challenges your sense of hearing and seeing.The campaign is thoroughly well done, making it feel quite realistic and enveloping. Online multiplayer lets you join in the middle of games and lets you readily keep track of your stats(K/D ratio, win/loss ratio, headshots, assists, etc.)The weapons are all real modern generation weapons, all customizable to ur liking. The only thing i could say isn't good is the annoying voices of 10 year olds screaming in your ear and using the vulgar language that they don't know, plus the fact that there are some glitchers or people who use turbo controllers. NO, I do not work for Infinity Ward or Activision. Good luck and have fun on Xbox Live!!!!!!! Rating: - Awesome GameThis game is great. MultiPlayer: Similar game to Counterstrike with different objective style games such as Bombing the targets or halo3 style where its just straight team deathmatch. Also has free for all and some other gametypes. I hated the earlier versions of the games because of the old style weapons and the feel of the gameplay, this one is 100x better. The maps take some time to learn as well as the weapons. Until you learn the maps you have no idea where the enemy will be coming from. Cons: There is no way to review the scores at the end to see who had the most killing streaks, head shots, kill ratios, etc. Also unlike Halo3 there is no guest spot for online multi-player. If you have a friend who wants to play your stuck playing against him only in 4 player local splitscreen with no internet play, which sucks. The only way to play online with friends is for them to be on a separate xbox with a separate xbox live account. The multi-player is highly addictive and fun. The maps and guns are well balanced. The search times are very low(sometime instant because you can join games in progress) and the lag is usally low compared to Halo3. The guns are modeled after real guns, there is gun recoil, and you die from any guns with just a handful of bullets(unlike halo3 where you can take about 20 shots before dying) Single player: The single player is awesome as well, though I beat it in about a week, without devoting the whole day to the game. I'm sure it would take longer on a more difficult setting. The missions and effects are creative, though sometimes it feels like there is an endless supply of enemies until you figure out you just have to advance forward for them to stop respawning. Rating: - Sweet GameThe campaign mode is short but fun. The online multiplayer is the biggest part of the game and it is one hell of a ride. Rating: - XBOX360 VS.PS3I have had this game for a long time absolutely the most fun multiplayer game i have ever played period!but at one point when i had prestiged for the 4th time i got the RROD on my 360 and had to send it in to get fixed.so missing the action i bought it for my ps3 in the meantime had to start from square one on prestige.the ps3 version was very dissapointing didnt have the graphical flair the 360 had.some text was missing on creat a class.some sound effects were missing.this game was definatley geared more for the 360 fan base.and the ps3 server for playing online was awful. connection was always getting interrupted causing games to end early.xbox live only had those issues maybe once a week.so get it on xbox 360 you will be glad you did. Rating:  - Nearly Perfect!Too bad I cannot give this game 4.9 stars. It was that close. Everything good that you have heard about this game is true. There are just some things that seperate it from a full 5 stars. Actually only 3 come to mind: In the single player mode, some of the AI characters who are "Force Recon Marines" are Privates (or paygrade of E-1). Perhaps the creators just didn't research their rankings enough. In the American military you advance up to E-3 (Lance Corporal for Marines) after 18 months, any Force Recon Marine would already be long past the rank of Private. The second mistake was also related to rank. Captain Price is an O-3 (3rd officer paygrade), yet 15 years ago (in the sniper mission) he was a young Leftenant (an O-2). If he was a leftenant 15 years ago he should be at least a Lt. Colonel (O-5) or Colonel (O-6) by now. Yes O-6 in the Navy is called Captain, but then he would be placed in a desk job in any case. Either way for him to still be a Captain he would have had to have been reduced in rank several times, and have higher-tenured out (released prior to retirement for failing to pick up rank in a set number of years). The third and last gripe I have is with the sniper mission. Great mission. But the sniper rifle you use when posting out in the Hotel is supposed to be the barrett M107, which was not around 15 years ago, when that mission was set. These may seem rediculous, but hey, 5 stars doesn't come easy. Wish I could give them 4.9 stars, but 4 will have to suffice.
