And I agree the campaign was short, but I think it's easily one of the best campaigns I've played to date. But whether or not it was too short, I'm not sure It was just long enough to get a giant grin across my face as I scurried around maps obliterating everything that passed my line of view. and then ending is just so awesome. and then once it was finished I was happy it was complete, and now it was time for some online with my mates and a bit of spec ops to really test the skills. But yeah very good game, it has tripped over with no DLC and they will regret that, but if you take the online away its still an awesome game, the campaign if played on veteran is just perfect I think. If the specs ops mode had been given the IW story board and cutscene tratment and not just a bunch of random missions than that aspect of the game could of been much improved upon. Good review though! Yeah this is true lots of reviews do and have over looked the campaign. And I agree the campaign was short, but I think it’s easily one of the best campaigns I’ve played to date.

As such, I wanted to bring some light onto it, and also the disappointment that there simply isn't more of it compared to the multiplayer when there's a lot that's very good about the single player.

I can play ‘The Grim Fandango’ or the Monkey Island games right now, but Battlefield 2 is pretty much empty.

Pretty much as soon as the next COD game comes out, all that we’ll be able to experience is the single player, especially because you can’t have a regular server for you and your mates to play on, or mods to enhance the experience.

The story is indeed awesome, the co-op in the Spec Ops is good, but the Spec Ops missions can get tedious and are actually much more difficult than the campaign to complete. IW have however failed in their online excelence by being far far too slow to release and DLC for the game, the online side is now ridculed with bugs, and people using over powered shotguns in maps they can play with their eyes closed. It has run out of steam.
