News incoming: people play games on easy and say it's short !

Killzone 2: 5 hours
Halo 3 ODST: 3-4 hours
Uncharted: 4-5 hours
Call of Duty 4: 4-5 hours

STOP PLAYING GAMES ON EASY THEN !

At least play it on normal difficulty. You will get at least 1.5 or maybe even 2 hours more playtime. It's just bullshit when someone claims that MW2 will be a 4 hours game. The game is meant to be played on normal difficulty, that's why it's called "normal".
Play it on the 2nd highest difficulty, then you get a 8-9 hours game and so on.

I think alot of people are more excited for the MP not the SP campaign though...

The SP may suck but the MP should be more than enough to fill everyone thirst to shoot people in the head.

FPS games this gen are not known for long SP experiences anyway...

CoD4 had the shortest SP campaign that I have played in my life. Difficult settings had nothing to do with that. I always play FPS games with normal when I play them first time trough. It was just short even compared to other FPS games.

I won't get any game that costs more than the average game and is so incredibly short.

Seriously, what happened to game lenght this gen? I only buy a few high quality games, and I expect them to last long. Buying what seems like a pretty standard shooter and finishing it in under 10 hours is unthinkable for a game that is more expensive than the average game. Halo 3 with it's shortness made me feel burned, and the only thing keeping me from selling it was FORGE, Forge and playing custom game modes with friends is what saved the game for me, it made it worth the purchase. MW2 just won't have enough content in it for me to be interrested, it will probably have some epic moments and a decent multiplayer, but due to the low player count the multiplayer is likely to become repetitive, and a short single player (even if it's epic) will just make it a shallow experience.

I'm waiting for Battlefield 3 instead.

No, many FPS have the same length.

And I don't believe you when you say that CoD4 has the shortest SP campaign. You own Halo 3 ODST & Crysis Warhead.

Halo 3 had co-op which at least doubles the replayability and CoDMW2 features a special ops mode which also extends the game (singleplayer and multiplayer wise)

I've said it before and I'll say it again. game is way too scripted to offer any sort of replay. COD4 had the shock value of being gritty so it cuold have been played again simply to experience the grittiness but the whole game always had 1 way to tackle an enemy and no branching paths. "Pick up the rocket launcher! Pick it up...Pick it up to go on"...while your army stands there and waits. Thats jsut dumb. The very first level in MW2 will have your team saying "Shoot the grenade at the enemy! Shott grenade at the enemy" over and ovr...and as soon as you do the path is cleared for you. The whole game is like that. You have to do exactly as the game tells you. I don't know anyone that will want to replay that civilian slaughter level more than once... I don't want to spoil that for anyone but all I can say, what a waste.

Also to Barozi...I played MW2 on hard and it took about 6 hours. This is because the game doesn't let you use terain or tactics in combat. You are either quick on the trigger or youre dead...

And speaking of quick on the trigger...WTF did they do with auto aim in this game. Every time you push LT to zoom in it automatically aims at the enemy that is in sights. A lot of the game felt like a rail shooter to me.

The only aspect of this game that I find amazing is the story and production. Everything else is atleast a generation behind in FPS gameplay.

Okey. Technically I lied but ODST and Warhead were not full price releases so it didn't matter so much. So CoD4 is the shortest full price game that I have played.

but ODST was full priced in the US.

Anyway I share a different opinion. I played all the CoD games (except for Finest Hour) and I couldn't tell you which one of the is the shortest. CoD4 is short, but in my experience not shorter than the majority of this gen's shooters.

lol have you even seen videos for MW2. They built it from the ground up, it is not a few adjustments to CoD4, it is completely different.
