As I hate to bash on this game, I truthfully think it's disappointing. the campaign is exceedingly short (although a very good story) but the game would've been better with a longer one. but don't take it that it's a bad game. it just doesn't fulfill. it more than deserves a 9.5, but it's faaaaar from perfect. the online play is fun, and a little bit more customizable than it's predecessors. although the guns are fun (but don't always get a good feel) to use, i could've asked for more. as for the killstreaks, it probably couldn't have done better. there's everything from the trusty UAV, care packages, and several different types of airstrikes/helicopter like thing, to AC130's and even a F***ING NUKE!!! a F***ING NUUUUUUUUUUUKE!!!!!!! that's pretty hard to top. other than that tho, online play is extremely repetitive. although i do suggest this game, there were many other games this year that were far much better than this. Ah! i almost forgot. to add to the replay value of the game, infinityward has added a thing called "special ops", where you can play clips and phrases of the actual campaign with different twists and objectives. again, another designer wants to re-invite a nazi zombie theme with a wave survivor. as these spec ops are okay, they don't capture the picture even a fraction as well as nazi zombies. the whole idea of nazi zombies was zombies not wave survivor! anyways, some of them are actually really fun, especially the stealth ones. some of the spec ops utilize 2 player, ex. one puts a guy on the ground trying to reach a certain point without dying, and another guy in an AC130 protecting him. these are usually only fun with other people, and are very slow and boring by yourself. all in all, this is probably one of the better shooters of the year.
