Hmm, I think I hold off now, and just put it on my Christmas list.

The game is 6-10 hours long depending on the level you choose, once you complete the game you unlock arcade mode, which adds another 6 hours to the game. There are 16 maps for online play, there are tons of modes and options aswell, there are types of capture the flag, not just the standard mode from what they said.

"game has awful AI." The game has great AI according to IGN.

Not according to this review.  They claimed that the AI was easy to mow down, and the only thing difficult about them is they can chuck grenades with great accuracy.

And, as far as the time http://pcgamenews.net/archives/93 Xbox Magazine 5-6 hours
http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/832/832599p2.html IGN 5-6 hours

Gamezone scores;
360: 9.5
PS3: 9.6

gametrailers said the AI wasnt that great (wasnt that bad either) but since theres so many they didnt really care, nor did it matter

That will be a sale for me. If the online is really as good as the original. It is going to be out for the PC as well right?

The original for me was only about 6-7 hours long as well(even on the hardest mode), but the online and lan kept me busy for well over 100 hours.

I never really found the single player to be a very big seller for CoD, so that won't be such a bad thing for me. However, a longer single player couldn't have hurt.

Poor AI = confirmed, the PC demo demonstrated pretty well how stupid the AI was. For instance I was defending a tank against an onslaught of terrorists so what are the terrorists doing? Firing their IEDs at me or lobbing one of their billions grenades they apparently keep in a extra-dimensional pocket....instead of firing them at the tank they are trying to take out or lobbing a grenade at the group of guys huddled about the tank etc...

With that said it is a very fun game and its probably a lot of fun to play multiplayer with the perks etc...and its is a title that I am and have been looking forward to for a long time on my PC..I say that because I don't want to hear any BS from PS3/360 fans bitching that I am bashing it for that reason...no I am saying what I think nothing more...nothing less....

And so I completely and totally agree with Naz, if they have complaints of short campaign, no vehicles, bad AI, poor cover system, and lack of MP modes then there is no way it is a 9.4 game and only further goes to show that my anti-review score standpoint is justified.

After reading the IGN review and watching the GT review I am still going to get the game but I have no illusions about aspects of the game that would have been very disappointing had I only looked at the scores. Because a 9.4 tells me that almost everything is spot on with maybe one or two hangups..but not a list of hangups like they gave at GT.

Having played the demo I have a bit of insight into what they were referring to with the grenade indicator issues and how much of a pain in the ass it is with guys constantly lobbing grenades at you like they have an infinite supply.

I thought the game looked great in the review, especially the multiplayer.

Why oh why is there no CTF though?
