I based that line off the multiplayer only. I just finished the single player and I can say that this game should NOT win game of the year.

It's honestly the worst story ever and once the Russians invaded I just couldn't take it seriously anymore. I had to watch the loading scene between the levels twice because I couldn't believe the stupidity of it at first. That would be like as if a Canadian gunmen shot up a mall and we invaded them over it. Absolutely retarded.

Also, I was expecting the airport scene to be a poignant plot point, but it looks like I expected too much. Infinity Ward put it there for sheer shock value and I found it to be extremely offensive and gratuitous - especially in light of recent tragedies such as the Mumbai & Fort Hood shootings. I sincerely hope that impressionable, young kids don't get any ideas from this scene because if something comes of it, say goodbye to video games as we know them and say hello to censorship not unlike what we see in Australia.

So to conclude:

Modern Warfare 2 - (Arguably) Best Multiplayer Ever Made
Uncharted 2 - (Arguably) Best Single Player Experience Ever Crafted

I love them both.

And for the record, Uncharted 2 was my favorite game this year because I hold single player experiences above multiplayer. It's story is better than 95% of movies, let alone video games.

In basic training, I didn't wear my earplugs during the "daytime defense course" (or called something very similar). 7 guys lined up in concrete foxholes and had 3 magazines to fire as fast as possible at about 20 targets popping up in front of us simulating an attack. Because of that day the hearing in my right ear is permanently damaged. Gunfire is loud and should be reflected like that in games & movies but unfortunately never is.

The sound in Collateral and Heat (to an extent) is amazing.

Yeah I remember one of the first weapons ranges I went to. Where they fired an AT4 and a claymore just to show us. That was pretty cool. I left my earplugs out for those just to know... Felt like an idiot afterwards =P Fraking loud. Still though the first time you see, hear and feel a 50 cal tearing up some dune about a mile down range you get a feeling of the awesome power behind what the army does =D

Because when I think of the most realistic gunfire sound in a movie I think of that alley scene from Collateral. I was watching that movie in my theater room with 7.1 channel surround and you could feel it in your chest when Tom Cruise Fired his weapon.
