Bad idea. The single player is 4 hours long and just as shallow.

“I was playing New Super Mario Bros. Wii during the Great Modern Warfare” – I shall tell my 24 grandchildren… “Because I didn’t have a PS3 [yet] and my copy of MW2 was sitting in front of me unused waiting for the moment I fire up my then new 250GB Slim” – I shall continue.

CAN’T WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS!

Good piece. It almost seems odd to be a gamer that hasn’t got MW2. How fickle gamers are, a few weeks ago everyone on my friends list was on Uncharted 2, now they are all on MW2. I won’t be getting it. The idea of a 4hr SP mode and a MP mode full of swearing kids, cheats and 100+hr ultra players puts me off altogether. The hype has been unbearable, the other publishers had it right to push their releases back, they would have certainly been lost. I don’t begrudge anyone enjoying the game but it’s not for everyone.

See…. here’s how you’re wrong. First of all you won’t have grandkids because anybody who admits that they’d rather play Great Dragon Age instead of MW 2 isn’t hunting for a uterus with which to procreate. Secondly, get off your high horse. This is the most ridiculous attempt to slyly say that you’re too cool to play COD. Nobody thinks you’re any more hardcore a gamer because you refused to play the game with the masses. Your misguided pride is keeping you from playing a game that you have already admitted you would like. Get over it! Go buy it and stop being such a pompous tart.

I entirely agree with you except for one point: I won’t get it. Period. I mean, I’d get it with dedicated servers – yes, I was one of the people that bitched about those, but unless that happens, I’ll be telling my grandkids how I fought in the Great Dragon Age whilst others were battling in the Modern Warfare 2.

My actions led to the saving of a nation, I’d say, and they would reply, “So you were afraid to join the real war?”

I’ll find it cheap! Don’t you worry about that, my ‘local’ Game store has (I suspect) a few stoners on the staff. Every now and then there are things priced VERY wrongly; I found PoP on PS3 for 9.99 (a week after release) and I just found LBP on PSP for 5.99 in there last week! There are many other examples, but from fear of boring you I’ll not list them here.

I can assure you I’ll get it for a tenner or less soon enough, I just have to bide my time…

I think you may struggle to find the game cheap mate. COD4 was still selling at full price nearly 2 years after release! The MW2 single player only takes around 6 hours, although it is very enjoyable. I’d encourage you to rent the game over a weekend if that’s all you’re looking to play. Spec Ops really is great though, and I’ve had more fun playing it than the multiplayer, which as has been mentioned, has lots of obnoxious teens running about shooting you in the face and laughing at the ‘noobs’, who due to having to work, don’t have the time to reach prestige level in two days!

Yup, I’m planning on getting this game in about six months time when it’s cheap and everybody in it’s world is dead! Besides, I’ll only play the single player then jam it into my dusty collection with the other games I’ll never have time to play anyway.

Nice write up.
