Check out this video, particularly at the 13:50 mark. I played through the entire Cuba mission on Hardened difficulty without shooting my gun. Didn't die.

This is disturbing. I also love the default setting for Maxpackets and Snaps in MP. Who said the single GSP would cause problems? CoD4 was infinitely better than this, three years ago. Console port, console port, console port.

ooh dear, what have treyarch been doing for 2 years ??? id laugh if i hadnt bought into the hype ..... :s

Well, that infinite re-spawn and apparently Zork (hidden games) are working well.

What do you expect?

They only had 2 years and an engine that was >90% complete... can't expect miracles.

man, its too expensive to get random pc gamers with different configs to test your game ...

so, what they do, they share the game to family members, who dont know a lot about gaming, and buy i7 specially for the occasion

That is pretty bad. If YOU don't play the game the mission shouldn't progress - you should die within a minute.

Man, I usually enjoy COD SP and have played them all at least twice. Hopefully this one isn't a full let down when I start it in the next few days. It would be really sad to say that this release hurts BOTH MP AND SP...

That is sad indeed. Geez, the horrible. Your commentary is the best though! Console gamers GTFO my channel!

wow what a remarkable failure that could be for the SP version. You did duck behind cover in a few spots that I looked at in the video. Would you have died there?

I have just started the Veteran level and first level went by without firing a single shot. Most disturbing was sitting on MG in the plane and just watching them - the entire airport - all shooting at me - and not dying.

However, at this level there are quite a few passages where you have to shoot back as you need to move forward for your teammates to start getting their act together and so if you don't clear yourself some elbow room, you'll be dead the moment your head pops up from behind cover.

Extremly annoyed at having what feels like lag on SP. I did not expect this. Offline mode, killed Steam.exe and still...

It's funny. You get missions like this, then there are some later ones on veteran that are near impossible. Did I mention the bad placement for checkpoints?

You are right. I am going through some frustration right now as they kill me dead on sight and appear to keep coming. I keep trying to move forward but get a bullet between my eyes for my efforts every time. More smoke I think. Smoke and nades + some kamikaze running

The SP no longer lags for me but I found my progress completely wiped and had to start from the beginning. Small price to pay for having no lag perhaps, but the cutscenes and chatting in between is more than a bit boring when you know it already...
