I completed Modern Warfare 2 in 4 Hours 44 Minutes and 23 seconds – Is that a record?

After Lazygamer posted up their review of Modern Warfare 2 this little article popped up stating

"Thankfully I didn't need to check the clocks as the game stores the time for you and accordingly I was informed that I completed the game in 4:44:23 which is not very long for a full priced game."

Is it really fair to charge full price for a game that clocks in at under 5 hours?

2 - I rented this game today and the lady at blockbuster had a beard
I like it for the multiplayer. I never even finished cod4 SP cause I thought it was boring. So far the SP in this one seems a little better from what ive played soo far.

It doesnt bother me if its short because I only like cod 4 and this one for the multiplayer anyways. If your expecting a long/deep campaign then a recent cod game isnt where to look.

I am a huge SP FPS fan as my two favorite games ever were SP but still like cod 6 for its great Multiplayer action.

I understand some people wanna complain but ill be realistic about it. Alot of games only have SP or only multi, at least cod can do them both well.

Im all for a great SP but lets us one of my favs bioshock for an example. Great SP an amazing game, but after playing through it 2 or 3 times theres nothing to do. COd4 I spent hours and hours more time playing even though I never even finished the SP.

edit- I dont even have it but If the issue is total time spent with the game then I see no issue, as this game has more re-playability than most. Most seem upset about the reviews. You people care WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too much about reviews. Maybe im just lucky I know what games I like before they come out usually and can tell a crap one from a mile away(quantum theroy). I like cod for the multi, if you wanna play only the SP on cod then just rent it. Complaining about it wont make you any less stupid.

I beat KZ2 in 5 and a half hours.

Do we all get cookies for beating anticipated games in short times?

Oh...I know we need some news to give the fanboys on this site who are hating MW2 because its overshadowing all of their proclaimed exclusives.

Spot on right? lol

5 and a half hours of a non centered story that gave the game no reason I should add.

MW2's campaign puts actions and the seat gluing aspect on everything.

5 - its not a simgle player game
everyone knows the SP is short . I would not buy MW2 if i didnt play online but I do and I love it. The SP is secondary to the MP in my opinion

6 - 4Hr campaign and same mp as previous COD games
pop in your old COD game and play the mp and the only difference is the number of people playeing. alot of you are kidding yourselfs. enjoy the game all you want but dont defend it because it doesnt deserve defending and either does the company so I dont know why some of you are defending them. you are a gamer they trying to screw gamers you dont vocally take there side its not rocket science.

I remember when games actually had something other than multi-player in them. Man I miss those days. Sitting back and playing a well thought out game with a great story. It is a shame gaming has come to people just buying games for something that should be just an added bonus. I think somebody out there needs to step up and give shooters something other than the same old thing.

IW makes great MP games. COD SP is garbage and has been after 2. Terrible squad AI and not much "tactics" other than run to the checkpoint. Die Die Die. Run to the checkpoint. Die Die Die.

The MW2 MP could have been released as DLC. Its fun and runs smooth but is it $60 and two years better?

Nah. How many people upped for the toy Night vision?

Suckers.

I had fun playing MW2.Looks great.But I'm glad I only rented it as it seems like a expansion pack to me.Very short one player campaign.Which I enjoy as much as online play.Could have sold this game as a $20.00 download or disc.That's just my opinion.

yeah you know why its been so hyped? cos it cost like a bajillion dollars to make, with some ridiculous budget and it essentially is a rehashed engine. I'm not hatin on it, I've said below I like the game, its good fun. But somewhere down the line someone poured too much money into this thing.

on another completely different thought... the spec ops mode is different and does add an entirely new angle to the game. i think alot of posts are overlooking that.

I have other games to play.

I hate multiplayer and FPS's. When this game is barely more than a multiplayer game, I will pass.

seeing as i never really played the first one much i'm liking it so far, though it seems a little overhyped- but still good. A mate and i finished the first one in 4-5 hours when we rented it, and that was enough to make me not want to buy it. ODST went for 3-4 hours and we all slammed that as an add on... (well i did)

i'll file this one in the good but overhyped category.
