Man they really went all out on this one. In terms of gameplay, this is easily the best COD entry in the series thus far, with almost every mechanic feeling more realistic and fine tuned. The game looks stunning and actually gave me "uncanny valley" a couple of times, where I couldn't even tell the game graphics apart from the actual reality.
Storywise, I have to say I'm a little confused. The game first sets itself up as more of a reboot of the MW series, than directly related, yet at the end sets up a bunch of stuff that makes it more of a prequel to COD4 and MW2 than a standalone effort. It's obvious they're trying to keep it different enough to consider it a "retelling" of sorts, but I still think I would rather see the series tackle new enemies in the sequel rather than Zakhaev and Al-Assad again.
