That's not to say I don't enjoy spec ops missions, I would just enjoy it a lot more if they were both in the campaign together, but I also understand that the story didn't call for big boots on the ground missions. (The first mission of OG MW2 springs to mind, or the one where you have to defend the burger joint). Part of that is because I enjoy missions where you're just a soldier in a regiment hammering away at the enemy.

I personally prefer a gritty, realistic campaign whereas this felt like an unrealistic action movie. Probably would have been lower if not for the nostalgic characters of Soap, Ghost and Price. And general shepherd? Couldn’t have had his helicopter or plane hijacked or shutdown by the Russians? At least to give us something and to tie it into the next story?Ī mediocre 7/10. Ghost wounds Hassan with a sniper shot at some point so you’re both in rough shape and you have to lure him to the window to throw him out.

Sure 1/2 your team is working on a different op but tie them together better and come together earlier for a single end goal.Īnd what about the antagonists? That’s it? That’s how it ends? A blown up tank where we could have done that to any grunt, a clear line of sight sniper shot that didn’t feel rewarding at all, and Sheppard just goes on chilling? We couldn’t have a cut where the tank hatch pops open, and we see a wounded graves cowering? Toss in a Molotov and add a line about getting burned. Soap on the verge of dying is making prox mines out of raw gunpowder, duck tape and a mousetrap? The whole storyline wasn’t good, I didn’t like jumping back and forth and then combing everyone and then splitting up again. The sniping mission the guards would just stop on top of you and walk around like they knew you were there. Some of the missions were the most frustrating of any cod game ever.
