For an FPS 5-6 hours isn't too bad. I can complete Half Life in about that time frame, which goes to prove that quality is better then quantity (as long as the game isn't too short).

The multiplayer will also add a huge amount of replay value.

Half-Life in 5 hours? I really doubt that.

Me too. First playthrough took at least 15 and replaying still takes at least 8 (knowing exactly what to do).

Technicaly it can be finished in 30 minutes. http://speeddemosarchive.com/HalfLife.html#hardscripts

I know that is not the point, speed runs are not a good way to tell a game lenght. Also when they say COD 4 is 5 hours long, I bet they are talking about the average player. it took me 12-15 hours on my first try to finish HL. I still think that there is no excuse for COD 4, most FPS on PC look better than on consoles, have extra content (stages, maps, guns), offer decent to awesome online free experience and go for U$ 50.

Yeah, I'm not talking about speedrun time, I'm talking about first-run time.  I assume that's what reviewers are talking about when they say COD4 takes 5-6 hours, too.  I'm sorry, but that's just unacceptable.  Half-Life 2 Episode 2 takes 5-6 hours, and it's billed as a mini-game, not a full game.  The Orange Box costs $50, less than COD4, and comes with Episode 2, Portal (which is another 4-5 hours, plus more to complete the challenges, which aren't just achievements), and TF2 for a full multiplayer experience.  Not to mention it comes with HL2 and Episode 1 if you don't already have those.  And some people still think it's a ripoff.  :P

Seriously, if I paid $60 for a game and it was over in 5 hours, I'd feel incredibly cheated.
