All right, it was all fun and games, until now. Let me now tell you what I didn't like - keep in mind, we are still talking about the single player here.

 

First of all, the game is damn short! I mean, come on, it's even shorter than CoD 4, for crying out loud! This "shortage" is also more noticeable since there is no change of pace in the game - it's like a huge action level, no resting, no time to think, no pause. Yes, there are some levels, where you "go slow", but those are frankly direct copies of the "Sniper Level" from CoD 4. It just feels like Infinity Ward thought "OK, people liked this sniper level, so let's do it again!" Really now?

 

Overall, it feels more like an Add-on to CoD 4 than a full fledged title.

 

 

 

 

And what the hell is with the weapon sounds?? I mean, they can talk as much as they want and say they recorded "original" weapon sounds and what not - trust me, I KNOW what I am talking about - an M16 or an AK47 do NOT in real life sound like pop guns. An AK47 is so damn loud, that you simply feel the power of it when you hear it.

 

The other not so good things are well known since the beginning of the series. The game is strictly linear, so you can't just go roaming around freely. And, the characters always wait for you to "do the job" - is it so hard for them to open a damn door, do they really have to wait for me to do it?

If you don't go forward, the game will keep "producing" enemy soldiers out of the blue sky and so forth et cetera.

 

Still, what really pissed me off is yet to come.
