Author's Review
Ok, my last few review were said to be to short so im going to make this as in depth as possible.  Ok so i want to start out with the single player.  This is the continuation of the COD4 campaign where you are now working with the man you play as in COD4.  You go through so intense levels including Cliffhanger where you are racing to escape a mountaintop base on a snowsled while being pursuded by a bunch of enemys trying to kill you.  You are armed with a Glock18 and this part is pretty intense.  As the campaign progresses you go to a prison where you have to rescue a prisioner.  This prisioner is found out to be another character from the previous game.  I don't want to ruin it for you but it is an important person from COD4.  After this you fight in the US vs the russians that have invaided.  This is a good bit of fun and will keep you entertained for a bit.  As you get closer to some of the support characters the game changes completely.  You go from the hunter to the hunted and are forced to fight against the people that you thought were friendlies.  The end of the campaign is sort of a cliffhanger because you don't know if the next game will pick up where this one left off. 

Before I dive into the multiplayer, I want to cover the Spec Ops part of the game.  This is an extra part of the game that you fight to do the objective in a time limit.  Some missions are keyed in on stealth, some are survival, some are support.  My personal favorite is a mission where you, or you and a friend are teamed up in a Favela marketplace and have to battle it out with two Juggarnauts.  These are enemies with protective suits on that are extremly hard to kill.  These missions are extremly fun and are worth some laughs if you go at it with a friend.  There are 15 missions each with the oppritunity to earn 3 stars for doing the veterean versions of the mission where enemies are smarter, stronger, and better shots.  This is a great edition to this game and helps add to this great game.

Now the most important part to this for most people.  The multiplayer.  This is by far my favorite part about this game.  The first great thing about the multiplayer is how easy it is to do good from an early level.  You get good guns right off the bat and will have the chance to unlock attachments for each gun that you get.  This game introduced some new features that were very good additions to the game.  A few of these are the customizable killstreaks, title and emblem, more camos, and great looking guns.  The custom killstreaks are great for a couple reasons.  This game introduced the Tactical nuke that is awarded after a 25 killstreak and imediately ends the game.  There are tons of killstreak combinations that you can use and it never gets old raining hell onto people from an AC130 Spectre Gunship.  The title and emblems where a creative idea that let you earn title for doing certain things.  Some are very easy to get but others are very hard and when someone has one of the hard ones to get you now that they must be good.  The camos are great and come in Artic, Desert, Digital, Urban, Blue Tiger, Red Tiger, and Fall.  These are all great looking on the guns and make your weapon have a sense of uniqueness.  My personal favorite is Red Tiger because of how great it looks.  The guns looking great is something i mentioned and it is very important.  No one wants to play a game with a gun that looks like something from Walmart.  The guns look and sound realistic and that is a huge Pro in my book.  Another thing I like about this game is the way you can go into Rambo mode and take out multiple enemies with a single clip.  The guns on this game are extremly deadly and kill very quickly.  I like this because you get a more rewarding feeling killing three guys with a 30 round mag than killing one person because you have to hit them ten times.  The multiplayer is great overall and very friendly to people that are new to the series.  The last thing i want to touch on is the maps.  The maps are great on this game with good looking enviornments.  There is also two map packs that bring in new maps and remakes of old COD4 maps.  These are also worth buying.  My favorite maps are Highrise, Scrapyard, and Rust.  These are great and set in cool locations.  I love Highrise the most though because you are onto of a sky scrapper and have to battle it out in two buildings and a zone in between them.  As a player with over 23 days of play time on this game trust me when i say you will truly enjoy this game.  This game has many pros that outweigh the cons which include commando, noob tubes, and the UMP45.  This is my all time favorite FPS game and i highly reccomend it to anyone looking to buy a great game.

Conclusion:  The campaign on this game is good with a good sense of storytelling.  The Spec Ops is a great addition to the game.  The multiplayer is the selling point for this game with a great deal of fun to be had.  For people just getting a PS3 this game is a must have.
