I beat the single player portion of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 last night on the 360. There were a couple of thrilling moments, but for the most part it was pretty average… exactly what I would expect from a Call of Duty game. I don’t get excited about these heavily scripted games; half the time I felt that my actions really had little effect on what was happening. There was no real reason to take things easy or methodically; I knew that if I was going to get ambushed, it was going to happen no matter what I did.

I’m mainly interested in the Spec Ops mode, so hopefully that redeems it.

And why do these games think it’s so fun to have the AI throw grenades at you every 3 seconds?
