Word of caution, the SP is about 3-4 hours long, probably much less for experienced PC FPS gamers. There's already walkthroughs on most video hosting sites and most console gamers finish the SP part in about 4-5 hours with a lot of retries.

I can even see a good FPS PC gamer blowing through the SP in 2 hours or less.

Wow, this game couldn't be more of a fail than it is. It's absolutely unbelievable how much they screwed up a title with so bloody much potential. I don't understand the motivation behind it.

EA doesn't want people playing this game 8 months from now when it might compete with BF3.

This is built-in obsolescence we're all looking at.

A SP game so short you could finish it in an afternoon, and a lack of MP variety that means before long that isn't interesting either.

Planned 100%... and they still keep charging as if it were a "full" game. What's being released these days is kind of like a series of (standalone) short expansion packs, except they're priced like full games, not expansion packs.

wow, 2 to 3 hour single player and 8 maps on multiplayer, sounds like a budget title from 5 years ago, the original MOH had more than this 10 years ago, EA and Dice should hang their heads in shame, the game is released today and I havent seen a single review online, hmmmm wonder why !, this has been the biggest disapointment this year.

so, even at 4 hours, it's 2.25 hours longer than MW2 lol. that game took an hour and 45 minutes...and felt like time crisis it was so damn arcade-like. they may as well have taken away my w-a-s-d keys because you barely even needed to walk for yourself. I definitely understand people wanting more than a 4 hour SP, but it just doesn't really happen anymore. isn't that about how long BC2's SP was (approx. twice mw2)?

I played Mafia II (i know, not a FPS so it's not amongst your primary thoughts in this forum), and that was a SP-only game that only lasted about 5 hours and I loved it. I definitely think they should have made more, but it didn't ruin the game for me.

anyway, I'm hoping they patch the MP for MOH a lot and fix the issues people have. i think that may save the game. I just thought it was funny that people complain about a 4 hour game after MW2's multi-million$ bugget 1.75 hour game.

I think people did complain about MW2, but as the MP was sooo bad with no dedicated servers and the cheating that the v. short SP was a mention.

I do worry about the pure lack of content these days. Like was mentioned earlier I think companies are trying to buy in obsolescence.

The problem is that it's a short term win with long term fail. (I know this is how most CEO's think)

People still buy the games, because we're pretty much used to spending £30 on the next new thing, BUT I don't know about you, but MW2 and BC2 has put a real bad taste in my mouth with games, and I'm no where near as excited about MOH of BO as I was last year when I thought MW2 was going to be MW1 with a bit more.

If work hadn't bough my copy of MoH for me I would definitely skip it, and I'm still on the fence about BO.

Having played Global Agenda, and seeing a shooter MMO, I think companies are really going to have to watch out. I love GA, but if it had a proper military re-skin with M4's etc I wouldn't even be looking at MoH or BO as I only want to play them to scratch the military itch.

Companies really need the brand, especially if any of them go MMO (or MMO lite like GA) as I think a popular one will kill all these games dead.

By the time they patch it most of the casuals will have figured out the game is crap. They are butchering MoH on the forums everywhere. CoD:BO will be here soon. I'm not a doctor but, I give MoH less than 30 days till it dies.

R.I.P.
