As a sequel to the amazing game CoD 4 this game is not an improvement. Then you start the game you meet the menu with three choices, the campaign, multiplayer and the new mode, Special Ops. The campaign is worth playing but it's not that impressive like the story in CoD 4. The missions are boring and not as "cool". You only got two stealth missions and the second is really short. The story is incoherent and incomprehensible. In the beginning of the story I was near to quit playing, but it gets better when you play more.
Then there is multiplayer, the most popular mode in CoD 4. You can see that IW have worked most on the mp, even if it's weak. There is only two maps that sniper maybe is useful. The maps are much smaller in this game compare to CoD 4. Most of the maps is in a city with lots of buildings.
Special ops is something new for the CoD series. I think it's great fun to play that with a friend.
Overall; if you not have become tired of CoD 4 this is nothing you should buy according to me.
