Just finished it in SP. What can I say... I've always been a fan of the CoD series and it never ceased to amaze me how they come up with Stalingrad-like moments in every game. But Modern Warfare 2 simply amazed me. Some of the levels (it's so hard not to spoil...) beat anything I've ever seen in a FPS. I'm not an America America fan to say the least and yes, it's boring to see America invaded in almost every game/movie considering the real
situation

.

But this game made me forget about politics for a while because it managed to hide patriotism under a hail of bullets. The threat felt so real that I even wondered if the russian players would feel proud to see such a huge and well equipped russian army. At times I just wanted to sit back and watch the fights. The airport level for one made my jaw drop... I was listening to Muse's Exogenesis Part1 from their last album and it all seemed slow motion to me. It was like the best joint I'll ever have

. The pitch dark and rainy Washigton level almost made me cry of joy. It reminded me of the Berlin Metro Station level of the last CoD but with an apocalyptic twist. I wanted that level to never end, for the sun to never come back again and for the game to just turn into Fallout 3.

Some have complained about the graphics, but I can't understand why. I have a GTX 275, not exactly a top of the range card, but I've played it on max and at some moments I thought I was watching a 100 million dollar movie. The levels, the backgrounds, the animations, the special effects like fire sparks, pieces of flying paper, rain etc, all merged into something so good that I just wanted to pause and look around to let the image sink into my retina. And that's surprising because until now I hated modern day graphics and longed for the simpler times of Jedi Knight and Half Life when your enemies were not hidden by 999999 brightly colored polygons.

I keep hearing that the multiplayer part is bad and I too wished that the SP campaign would just go on and on. But for me at least, the SP campaign provided the most amazing moments I've ever experienced in any game.
