(TO SHORT) I just want to start off and say that I am surprised that not a lot of people are commenting about how short the campaign is and how the ending is very lackluster. Also, there is no real story. The story feels all over the place, not real consice and has no depth. It took me a little over 5 hours to beat the game and not rushing through it. The game feels very dumbed down and you never get overwhelmed by the enemy like the previous installment.
(TO SWEET) Let's get to the positives. The BIG thing that I do like about the game is the Brutality of Enemy. They do not care about anyone or anything except completing their objectives anyway possible. Another thing that they do wonderful is get you emotionally involved with the locations that they use. I like the Multiplayer Maps and how they are laid out compared to the last Modern Warfare and the different things you can do in Customize Class. The maps make you feel that you can roam freely and open and the graphics are spot on. Completely get immersed in you surroundings. With the Customizing Class which allows you to pair two regular weapons as opposed to one regular weapon and a sidearm is a much needed improvement.
(TO OVERHYPED) All in all, this is a good game but hailing it as the Best Game of the year is probably going a little over board. I feel that there wasn't enough depth or anything really new to get all of this attention/hype
What's great about it: The locations where you fight. The cruelty of the vilians. Plays with your own emotions. Multiplayer Wonderful
What's not so great: The regular Campaign is WAY TO SHORT ENDING LACKLUSTER! The game is easy and reskinned nothing innovative
