(single-player campaign review only)

Updated gunplay and movement wasn't enough for me to enjoy this one. The short campaign was forgettable for the most part, except for some scummy use of real events (looking at you, Highway of Death) that still doesn't sit right with me. Couple that with an unreasonably large file size, always online connection, and high price tag. You're better off skipping this one if you focus on the campaigns.

Played this for the campaign and I was blown away with how much I liked it. It's not anything special story-wise (it actually lacks some narrative elements that other campaigns in the series have), but the tight gunplay with interesting weapons and gadgets, dogfight sequences, the setting, and just the whole presentation of the thing. It was all surprisingly good.

probably the best CoD campaign in the whole franchise
