I was very excited about getting this game as I heard MW3 was practically a repeat of this game (however I may purchase MW3 in the near future). The gameplay is nearly flawless, you move smoothly, and it's a great overall experience when you're playing. My favorite part of the game is definetly the "Special Ops" mode. If you can't afford Xbox Live for the online multiplayer #which is pefect, the way you level up, the killstreaks, the customs you can create is very innovative and very fun# then this mode is what you'll find mostly exciting. There are a variety of missions to play and each one is challenging and extremely fun to play. You can either go solo or play with a friend. I recommend a second player because by doing that, you'll get the most out of the "Special Ops." The biggest flaw of this game is the single player Campaign. First off, there is no co-op like in World at War, so you're stuck playing by yourself even if you want to play with a friend. The story however, is extremely confusing and hard to keep up with. It is almost as if it doesn't make sense. The layout of the storyline is very random and you shift from one person to another trying to figure out what relation the last mission has to the current one. It's very short compared to other Call of Duty games as I was able to tackle it in mere hours. The Campaign was obviously not the focus on this project. Overall it is a great game but the story needs big adjustments.
What's great about it: Special Ops, Graphics, Multiplayer
What's not so great: Confusing Storyline, Single-Player Campaign
