Well, I’m in the single player campaign now (the mission called “War Pigs”) and let’s just say we have another Game of the Year candidate, and a solid recommendation for anyone with even the slightest interest in the genre. Hell, the first mission (after the tutorial, which isn’t too long as reported elsewhere) sells the game and man, it just gets better and better…
Awesome game is all I can say. Just like Greg said ^ that first level sold me and i soon fell in love with the thing. Definatly worth the money, especially with the awesome online play!
Absolutely, hard to argue against COD4 as last year’s top game between the amazing solo campaign and probably best online play of any game (though I’d probably give the slight nod to BioShock just for telling such a great story and doing something unique). My favorite part is still the sniper mission. One of the most memorable levels of of any game I’ve ever played. I was just in awe the first time I played through that section of the game.
