Have it on PC.
Its amazing how dull the game is. I've done the first two levels, but its just "narrow corridor, shooting gallery, narrow corridor, shooting gallery." Also unlimited ammo, who thought that idea up.....
Also, can't help but think I've seen it all before, even down to running through a air plane graveyard, oh and the slo-mo hostage rescue....

It's like a cut down version of BF:BC2 with smaller maps and worse weapons.

Was thinking about going to buy it too. Is it really that bad? A mate got it yesterday and says it's pretty good; Different to MW2 but still good multiplayer.

I had it for the xbox, got it yesterday morn and traded it in today.
The game is utter cr@p, the single player side is boring as hell.
Its a complete chore to complete and it only takes under 3hrs to do.

The multiplayer side is a joke, with the lag & rubberbanding.
The sniper is way over powered with semi-auto battle rifles with scopes or 1 hit kill rifles.
The maps are over run with snipers, caring about their k/d score.

Single player 6/10, Multiplayer maybe a bit better although I'm a CoD addict so might be a bit biased.

Damn, sounds terrible. Was literally going to go out and buy it in 10 mins.

I've bought it today and don't agree what so ever with these comments.
Single player seems weak but I expected that, as with BFBC2 and MW2, multiplayer is very good IMO, i've experienced no lag whatsoever so far, to be fair i've had far more server issues with MW2 recently.
Spawn camping is easily overcome, suppose it depends on the skill of the player, i'm not a sniper personally hate using them on any game i'm using special ops class.
My opinion is it's a very good game, but if you want MW2 you will be dissapointed, if you like BFBC2 you will love it it's not a game for people to blindly run around guns blazing like MW2

I think it is a good game tbh, chalk and cheese compared with mw2! The theatre it's based in is more realistic, it's much more difficult to camp on and there is no stupid perks

I think a lot of people are expecting a MW2 remake with all the perks etc, they are both based on modern warfare scenarios thats where the similarity ends with the games, ad some awsome team death matches this morning, full games with 12 on each side and I experienced no slow down what so ever

Hope you manage to get online, I tried and EA's servers have crashed with the demand, it's good so many people are playing but you would think they would have anticipated this

Sinke player game, if you thought MW2 was short... **** me, I'd thought I'd reached the emotional 'ohhh' that you got in MW1 where you get caught in the nuke about half way through, but no, that's was the end if it!!

I'm on the PS3 and not having any problems getting online. But after 10 mins I would advise anyone not to buy. Looks pretty p*sh to me. Game engine designed by retards. Lol
