The single player is a lot of fun, but if you're in it for the story it's a confusing mess. While the first Modern Warfare had a story that was within the realm of possibility, this one does not.
Multiplayer is fantastic, but the learning curve is steep as the online competition is solid. Be prepared to die over and over under the learning curve kicks in.
The new co-op "campaign" is a series of maps broken out of the single player campaign and are standalone challenges. These are an absolute blast best played with another player, but most can be attempted solo. Good luck with that.
What's great about it: Great graphics, multiplayer, and co-op "campaign"
What's not so great: short single player campaign with a story that's way over the top
