Don't call me a fanboy because I own the game and I LOVE the multiplayer.

But the campaign is probably the dullest FPS I've ever played. It was absolutely terrible.

It had a lot of flashy things like nice graphics and music, but the actual gameplay fell flat on it's face.

QFT, it was rather dull and the last few missions were down right cheap...

No it's not terrible..

Go play Clive Barker's Jericho or Blacksite Area 51 and then try to tell yourself COD4 campaign is terrible.

Wow, I totally think you are way wrong. You didn't even explain how it is dull. It's some of the most action-packed and exciting gameplay on the consoles.

I enjoyed it quite a bit. I wouldn't call it dull at all. The missions varied enough to keep me interested. There were some really cool sequences.

I don't know about horrible, but it's certainly not as good as critics makes it out to be. Everytime they talk about the single player, they say it's just so amazing, when it was quite average for me.

Yeah I remember the first act of the game there was like 8 missions and I saw there was gonna be 3 acts in the game, seeing that I thought it was gonna have 8 missions in each act, then I get to 2nd Act and I see 5 or 6 missions and I was a little disapointed... then I see the 3rd Act with only 3 missions or something I got sooo pissed.. Thank God the online portion was good

I thought the campaign was done proper..It had everything i would expect in a IW COD...I found if you play the game on hardened/vet...you are drawn deeper into the game...

Gameplay was spot on...what did you not like about the gameplay..

It's not horrible it's horribly short that's all. Incidentally, I enjoy cod4 much more than uncharted and heavnly sword which were short games as well, but still longer than cod4.

campaign was epic and of mediocre length. i dont understand wut other game compares to it in sp other than the hl series. u cannot deny there were some incredibly well thought out missions. and if u think its cheap or wutever its obvious u have to conform to the games play style instead of going rogue and tryin to blaze ur own path

I thought it was good enough to be worth playing once through so I wouldn't call it horrible but I agree the multiplayer is much better.

That would be a great multiplayer map for small parties. No spoilers for those who have yet to play, please. [spoiler] I did beat it already, though :P [/spoiler]

I think it falls far behind GRAW and GRAW-2 insofar as it tries to be a military game.

In terms of its scenarios, I just think GRAW and GRAW-2's battle scenarios were more believable and appropriate to the genre. I think being given more control over your squad AND over accessories like the UAVs added to GRAW's realism.

I think the only two missions in COD4 that actually felt genuine were the first mission aboard the ship, and the airplane assault epilogue.

So I should adapt my playstyle? How? If I don't take cover I get torn to shreds but if I do take cover I get smothered in grenades. It's a no-win proposition! The game's AI isn't smart, it's cheap. And cheap AI ruins games.

its hardly cheap, challenging yes. and with any game u play u have to adapt to its style of play or ur dead. the only issue i had with AI in the game is wit ur teammates, they have some of the worst aim and support tactics ever.

I don't even mind the length. I enjoy short games. If we got more short shooter more often, that had the intensity of CoD4 with the excellent replay value CoD4 has, I'd be golden.

FACT

Totally agree. The campaign had a much of amazing "Holy ****!" moments. Stuff like getting off the tanker, the end of "Shock and Awe", manning the guns of the AC-130, and the entire ending sequence... fantastic, intense, I can't praise it enough. My only real complaint has to do with the AI. It just happens to be a major, really annoying problem.

I agree with the TC. I've been bored out of my mind with the gameplay so far. I'm 2 or 3 levels past the "guily suit" level, which itself was total garbage btw, and I couldn't care less about the story at this point. It's just a mess. It feels like a first person SOCOM with way more buggy issues. Yay for failing script events! (reload last save point).

there were a few parts where it was not so fun, but eh, that happens in every game sometime.
