This CoD is everything the last Modern Warfare got right and oh so much more. The campaign was short in my opinion (clocked around 6 hours on regular difficulty), but the content of that alone made the price-tag worth it. Then there's the multiplayer mode which, to be honest, is the real reason I and many others bought or would buy this game. It's phenomenal, with only the occasional hiccup when a host drops out (it doesn't do like CoD: WaW and end the game, it transfers it to another player). More weapons, challenges, kill streak rewards....not a single complaint for it! Buy it, play it, love it.
What's great about it: The expanded mutiplayer goodness
What's not so great: Short single player campaign (more than made up for with other content tho)
