Disappointing campaign length though the story was fast and well-paced; takes a lot to live up to one of the endings in MW1 though, namely dying in the nuclear fallout (wow). And for god's sake where is leaning! Can't be very tactical when you stick your entire body out to take a shot (and thusly get cut to ribbons in Veteran mode).
Modern Warfare 2: Single player story discussion *SPOILERS*
- Thread starter Naffa
- Start date
I must complete MW1, gave up after the ferrris wheel level, the ridiculous amount of ppl i killed lost my intrest in it.
In mw2 i was shocked when i was killed by Shepard and burnt alive! quite sick but very movie like.
Just completed it. Was disappointed that the game was quite short, but never the less there were some outstanding if not slightly disturbing parts to the game. First off was the snow mission, climbing the rock face then snow mobiling down the mountain, then the airport scene as a Russian insider (disturbing), getting burned alive by Shepherd was shocking (the other disturbing bit), boating the rapids and the ending was pretty good as well (a bit samey samey for my liking tho). The game overall was great, (stroyline & gameplay) but a little uninspiring. I can feel a 3rd instalment coming sooner rather than later (expansion pack would be nice)
Just completed it. Absolutely ****ing loved it! Bought it just for the singleplayer and didn't feel ripped-off despite it being short (paid £24). 
Some simply amazing level design and set pieces. Didn't expect any of the twists either.
When I saw Price I practically jizzed. 
I think I enjoyed it even more than MW1, which I'm gonna replay tomorrow.
The famous airport level I thought was put in purely to be controversial. Having heard about it beforehand, I was expecting there to be some build-up to it, such as having to infiltrate the organization, earn their trust etc., but nope, you're just randomly dumped into it. You don't even infiltrate the airport, you literally start wasting people within 3 seconds. Oh well. Obviously it's a pure shooter so there would be no Splinter Cell: Double Agent type missions, although that would have been cool.
Was it bad taste? Probably. Although that didn't stop me wasting all the people with their hands up, and finishing off the crawling wounded.
It was important to the plot, yes, but I'm sure the writing team could have come up with dozens of other reasons for the Russians to invade.
Had a great voice acting cast as well.
I know!
Indeed. I like to pretend to be Steven Seagal as much as the next bloke but even then there's a limit.

The fight between Price and Sheppard at the end was oh so epic, I was literally shouting at the screen "GO ON, GO ON PRICE! GET HIM!!1" and was screaming when Sheppard had him pinned, and the suspense of pulling the knife out and throwing it at Sheppard... My action key got owned on that part, but the bit where Price wakes up I just shouted "YYYYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!1!1!!11"
Oh so so epic.

finally finished it, overall i really enjoyed.
lots of cinematic moments where your legging it as fast as you can, even though you're probably not in any danger but the game's willing you to.
story was good overall, actually liked the rangers parts, though some actual closure to that story would have been nice.
got really ****ed off when roach/ghost died, as you play for most of the game as them, then pop dead, specially after the epic chase with you covering ghost as he drags you.
didnt mind with the terrorist level as it was a shock and you didnt get attached to them, but right at the end, then burnt, so you dont will them to survive, though i guess they could have like "spook" and "spectre" in the next one, in masks like ghost i guess.
and near the end the whole blackout andlose control got a bit annoying, as it was always you that did it, i never dragged anyone else to safety, or pulled rubble off anyone else.
not used to the cinematic gameplay (i got frustrated and gave up halfway through cod4) so was a nice change for me.
