[NO STORY SPOILERS] I am writing this review after I have finished the whole game. "But you've played for only 5 hours!", you ask. Yes, yes I have. The game is 5 hours long. 5! And I thoght Modern Warfare 2 was short! To it's credit though, the game has multiple different endings. The ending you get is decided based on your actions during the game, instead of it being decided based on what you chose at the end. There are a total of 3 endings, some are maybe a bit more satisfying than others, but still all of them are pretty good. Every mission has 10 optional "challenges" that you can do, such as rescuing friendly soldiers, obtaining drones to help you fight, helping your friendly forces by providing covering fire, etc. I didn't really expect anything like this from a Call of Duty game to be honest. I haven't played Black Ops I, but after what I saw here, it left me impressed, so I might give it a go. All in all, it's a good game, with a good storyline and weapons to choose from. Obviously everyone buys Call of Duty to play it's multiplayer component, but I asure you, playing the campaign is no waste of time. Give it a bash.

As far as multiplayer goes, it has more perks and definetely game modes, although there are some that nobody plays. The loadout system is much better compared to Modern Warfare 2's and it is ultimately more fun.

The PC port is exceptional. It's extemely well optimized and it'll run great for you. I got it running on a GT630 on 1920x1080 and got 60fps and most times. There were some random drops at times, but they weren't frequent. If you got performance problems try lowering down Shadows and Depth of Field. They tanked a lot of FPS from my experience. If you are really struggling to get 60fps, you can always tune down the resolution, but keep in mind that you have to set it to a resolution equal to your monitor's native aspect ratio (16:9,16:10,4:3,5:4,etc.)
