Randomly generated levels are said to only give about 40minutes - 1hour of gameplay in story mode. However, because of this Valve also said that each playthrough will be so different from the last you can play through it an infinite amount of times.

 

Wait a sec.... you mean that each level is about 40min-1hr or the entire story mode lasts only 40min-1hr??

Cuz that's pretty damn short, even if each playthrough is supposedly a different experience each time.

He means each level. There are four campaigns available off the bat, and each has four-five levels. They could have made them longer, but they had to keep in mind that the game is primarily a multiplayer game, so it had to be playable in decent chunks. This way, you can play through one level, around 45 minutes to an hour, and continue the campaign later, or play the whole campaign in 5 hours.

 

 

Ahh good good, thankyou sir... in that case its perfectly understandable for them to be less than an hour, plus that seems to be a hefty ammount of levels throughout the campaigns so this game looks like it's gonna have an enormous amount of replay value (prolly even more than COD4!).

I've only seen the walkthrough of one of the first levels from E3 but that was more than enough to get me excited about this game... I just wasn't sure how long the main story mode was going to be gameplay-wise.
