You need someone to play with.

Got it for Xmas - played it yesterday - what a pile of steaming turds.
Linear play (where you have to follow someone and not do anything) for 30 seconds then 20 hours of crap video, then repeat.
I've got as far as the rocket bit and I'm tempted never to play the ****er ever again.

IMO the COD series has never been strong in the single player stakes, though the special ops missions in the last one were good. The multiplayer is where it's at.

Yeah the campaign mode annoys me a bit in that you're waiting ages without doing anything. That level with the rocket, I for some reason had to start that level 3 times after playing up to at least the rocket bit, so was really annoying just following the guy for ages and not really doing anything.
I like online mode, although I've never been a fan of "levelling up" or whatever online. I like the Counter Strike method of everyone's players being equal. You're always going to get points online, even if you're shit, so essentially the more you play the better your character will be (obviously goes up faster with ability though). Plus, I'm shit at it
My first online game I thought this is wank, what's all the fuss about... then played a 2nd, got a few kills levelled up and was like wow this is awesome. Still not really been hooked by it yet though, but I do like itGive me FIFA any day

I've enjoyed all the previous iterations of COD - but this one has leapt back about fifteen years with regards game development. I'm really ****ing angry about it.
I don't play online - shit, my connection is barely good enough for email. Compared to Brotherhood this is a forty pound joke which was scripted by Jimmy ****bollocks Carr.

They have got lazy with the campaigns dueto the success of the online element IMO.

I agree in a way, but once you have the game engine it's just level design, whereas the inordinate number of cut scenes would require more work to produce, it's almost as bad as the first Assassin's Creed for pointless cut scenes.

It is a massive backward step in games design - it reminds me of the constrictive environment in early Sinclair Spectrum games. And that is shit.

Apparently the latest Final Fantasy was very linear and constricted, maybe they think as fans we can't handle freedom. Having said that Fallout: Vegas is huuuuge.

I suspect it's more to do with the fact the developers are finding the limits of the current gen of consoles.

Brilliant, brilliant game. I think I actually might have enjoyed it more than Fallout 3.
My mate just gave me FF13 for the PS3. After about an hour in I agree that it is constricted, you can only use one path. Apparently this changes as you get further in the game.

I have 3 but never gave it the play time I am this one.
