If you're one of the few who still do not own this game I would strongly advise that you not buy this game. Unless, that is, you were not planning to play multiplayer. The campaign and spec ops are fun but only a limited amount. The multiplayer is terrible. The concept is great; however, the game becomes so inconsistent depending on the connection. If you get even slightly angry when playing any game you will find yourself very irrate amidst the glitch-plagued, cheat-filled multiplayer. The arrogant creators at infinity ward believed the game would be glitch-free, unable to be hacked. They made a terrible shortcut in the game design--lack of any administrative tools to counter glitching and cheating. Now the game has seen 4 fun-killing glitches and the latest has been abused for the past 3-4 weeks with no end in sight. Quiet simply the game is no longer any fun.
What's great about it: Great Graphics and concept
What's not so great: Terrible multiplayer, glitched to death
