Yeah I'm 90%+ I beat it in roughly 3 hours. Definitely under 4 hours. That's so unacceptable it is not even funny.

Why do they even bother releasing a single player campaign if they are just going to less than half ass it?

Oh well....Skyrim will surely blow this out of the water

the trend for most FPS now a days is more for multiplayer than single. i think they just throw in a campaign just for $hits and giggle.

i almost never play single player so i could care less.

Please let it be better than Black Ops (graphics wise).
Oh and Hardcore Team Deathmatch is where its at

better graphics IMHO...Weapons sound sick...and every game feels like Hardcore because you get two or three good shots in and they are down! I've gotten used to it Tyr. I think you'll enjoy it after the initial learning curve of feel and speed.

Give it a shot....I'm hearing the ending and play is pretty amazing.

[MrsSledn]

Playing mostly Kill confirmed. Loving it! My son it loving it also. He went 34 - 10 last night and now that's all he can talk about. LOL

[elderboy02]

I beat the single player game. The ending is awesome!

[themoneycollector]

I have mixed feelings about this game. I love the faster paced action than Black Ops. I agree that it feels more like hardcore which I like. It's easier to get kills.

What I like:
1. Strike packages are ok. I like that you earn your killstreaks even if you die and since the killstreak kills don't count towards higher killstreaks like in MW2, people won't be able to camp nukes.

What I don't like:
1. Lvl 80 prestiges? Are you F'n kidding me?
2. Way too many perks and weapon proficiencies. The marksman perk adds a big name that covers their body.
3. One of my biggest gripes against MW2 was how difficult it was to unlock the various guns attachments and this one was even worse. Now you have to level up each weapon. I prefered the black ops currency format better so you could buy whatever attachment you wanted. I saw a survey and apparently weapon proficiency was one of the most liked new features. IMO, I think it's the worst.
4. No serious improvement in graphics
5. The killstreaks are largely MW2. I would have hoped they would merged the ones from MW2 and Black Ops (attack dogs, RC-XD, etc).
6. Really bad lag on PS3
7. Only 2-person online play in PS3
8. I hoped they would add mouse & keyboard support by this time, but I don't think they did
9. The maps are limited so you can't jump on cars or certain spots. I suppose they did this to prevent people from finding camping spots in strange spots. I just found it odd. Some maps I thought to myself I could jump over that box or car and it wouldn't jump onto those items.

I may rent them from gamefly for my ps3, but I much prefer PC games.

I am an old school PC geek and PC gamer. My sister's Xbox 360 got the infamous RRoD (Red Ring of Death). She sent it in once to MS. The second time she got it, it was out of warranty. Her husband tried to fix it but it didn't last long. Anyway, she told me that if I could fix it I could have it. Apparently she bought a new one for her kids for Christmas. Well, I'll save you the details, but I have it working consistently thanks to some heatsink and fan mods.

Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. She's keeping the accessories for her new Xbox. I'm going to get one wireless controller and the hard drive since it's not compatible with the new Slim model. I've researched the XIM3. It seems expensive at $150, but in the long run it's a LOT cheaper than building a gaming PC. Plus, most of my friends are on Xbox 360 and I'm itching to own them with a mouse and KB. I regularly get wrecked when I try to compete using the regular controller. The lack of accuracy is overwhelming to me. As I learn maps I have been able to at least keep even with them, but as a PC gamer I feel like I'm walking in wet concrete and overcorrecting every adjustement to my aim like a drunk driver doing 160 mph. XIM3 seems like the perfect solution. I've read some of the cheaper alternatives aren't nearly as successful in providing a PC game feel. If anyone has used one or knows someone who does I'd love to hear some feedback. The cost is even more than anticipated once you read the fine print stating you have to provide your own wired (Microsoft brand) controller to plug the XIM3 into.

I think I'm going to take the plunge. So, if anyone has a wired Microsoft brand Xbox 360 controller they are willing to part with PM me. In the meantime I'm going to see about getting the XIM3 and MW3. Although I might have to put them on my Christmas wishlist and wait.

P.S. sorry for the wandering thoughts here...

What I like:
1. Strike packages are ok. I like that you earn your killstreaks even if you die and since the killstreak kills don't count towards higher killstreaks like in MW2, people won't be able to camp nukes. I love the strike packages....assault if you're in the zone...Support if you are an assist king like me...Specialist if you wanna show off

What I don't like:
1. Lvl 80 prestiges? Are you F'n kidding me? Same as MW2 so no biggie

2. Way too many perks and weapon proficiencies. The marksman perk adds a big name that covers their body. My cousin loved this since he's horrible at the game, and I think it caters to those players

3. One of my biggest gripes against MW2 was how difficult it was to unlock the various guns attachments and this one was even worse. Now you have to level up each weapon. I prefered the black ops currency format better so you could buy whatever attachment you wanted. I saw a survey and apparently weapon proficiency was one of the most liked new features. IMO, I think it's the worst. I think time and kills aren't a bad thing here for unlocking. I actually like trying to use all the attachments since I don't care about my K/D ratio

4. No serious improvement in graphics Kinda of agree but I think the opponents look better

5. The killstreaks are largely MW2. I would have hoped they would merged the ones from MW2 and Black Ops (attack dogs, RC-XD, etc). You don't like Juggernaut or Escorted Air Drop?

6. Really bad lag on PS3 Turn off Theatre Mode...it helps a bit

7. Only 2-person online play in PS3 1 man wolf pack

8. I hoped they would add mouse & keyboard support by this time, but I don't think they did That's a PC thing isn't it?

9. The maps are limited so you can't jump on cars or certain spots. I suppose they did this to prevent people from finding camping spots in strange spots. I just found it odd. Some maps I thought to myself I could jump over that box or car and it wouldn't jump onto those items.[/quote]
I hate and like this point.

5. The killstreaks are largely MW2. I would have hoped they would merged the ones from MW2 and Black Ops (attack dogs, RC-XD, etc). You don't like Juggernaut or Escorted Air Drop? True, but I would have loved the attack dogs

6. Really bad lag on PS3 Turn off Theatre Mode...it helps a bit I'll try this out

8. I hoped they would add mouse & keyboard support by this time, but I don't think they did That's a PC thing isn't it? PS3 supports USB keyboards and mice natively, no reason the games shouldn't as well.

So far it's a good B+ game for me. The entire COD series is over re-used. But they sold 6.5 million copies on first day, so I don't think Activision is trying to change the formula when they've banked so far.

[ucla695]

Definitely faster paced. Less places to camp. It's slowly growing on me.

I love having the ACR and G36 back again!

my top 3

MK14
ACR

I told myself I'd buy the game after EPIC (for ps3 of course), but now that it's 2 days after I'm still not in the mood. I figure that other players need to learn how to play and get better before I come in tearing heads off =)

[Zeuceone]

The connection for me is not great. Getting a lot of lag on some games.

[LasciviousXXX]

Connection works fine for me after turning off theater mode. Thank you for that tip

Really loving this game for the multi-player action. The action is fast paced and well-balanced IMO. There's plenty of rushing still going on this early from the release but it seems that the snipers are starting to find their groove. I pretty much only play Hardcore TeamDeathmatch so I'm speaking only about that particular mode. But damn I'm loving it.

I just got the Kleptomaniac title yesterday. The one with the 2 S&M looking chicks Had to Kill 3 different people with 3 different weapons in one life. That was fun!

[DPD6030]

I also hate the quick scoping. Hairs not even close to my body when I view after I die and blammo...fix that chit! I like this game. I've only played about 30 minutes of the campaign and the rest on multi-player. I actually play with Drez most of the time.

My favorite gun = ACR 6.8 love it that and the UMP with range and rapid fire!

[emopunker2004]

hm should i keep BF3 or trade it toward MW3?
