wow this is such a sick game. from start to finish. W@W was lame compared to this....MW2 has you emotionally invested in the main characters that you play. There are quite a few 'wtf!?' and 'noooo!!' moments in this.

There are also quite a few moments that really stretch credibility.
But overall, yeah, the campaign story was incredible! And the player's final two actions of the game really show why Soap is the f-ing man!!

I agree. "No Russian" was awkward, despite the fact that I couldn't bring myself to shoot any of the civilians. Watching it was still weird. I was actually surprised by the fact that Infinity Ward didn't program the game to make the other three characters kill the player for not going along with the program.
The first mission in America was definitely sobering. It reminded me of the movie, "Red Dawn". I hope I never live to see the day that any country invades ours like that.

I wanted to shoot Makarov in the head. Why not nip the problem in the bud?
You did catch the homage to Red Dawn, right? The title of the chapter was "Wolverines".

I lit people up in No Russian, just to see how they would react.

Yeah, I didn't shoot anyone in the Russian Airport scene either. And while you can't shoot Makarov, I did attempt to stab him, which gets his attention.
I think the Russian scene was a mistake. Whatever Infinity Ward was trying to do, I don't think it really works. Was the scene supposed to make you think what a scumbag Makarov was? Well, that's offset by the fact you're supposed to be shooting the civilians yourself -- and we're conditioned in a game environment to think of that as "fun".
Was it supposed to be a "make a moral choice here" thing, sort of like what Bioshock is famous for? If so, it was done in a half-assed kind of way. Bioshock followed that theme all the way through. This was just one mission that doesn't add up to much.
I suppose in one sense the mission made you think about how tough undercover work could be. But when it comes to shooting innocent people, I'd think that would be the clear red line. Why wouldn't you just call in the cavalry and have Makarov rounded up at the airport, anyway?
Finally [spoilers], the mission does hold a big clue about Shepherd's ultimate betrayal. Before the Russian airport mission he's talking about how you've got to sell a piece of your soul and do whatever dirty work that needs to be done. Then toward the end of the game when he's talking to Soap and Price, he says something like, "We don't target civilians. Ever." Which is a big hint of what a lying SOB the guy is.

I don't know what's going on with my copy, but there seems to be some glitches when playing multi-player. Keep in mind that this is the first game that I play multi-player. Is this something that is common? At times I lose all control and things get real jerky and delayed on the screen, not fun if you are winning a match.

It's three stars and I got it on the very first try.

oh yeah 3, 4 same difference. But the time you had to do was the same pretty much since there was no time bonuses in Spec Ops
I've found that I enjoy this game much, much more by playing Hardcore Team Deathmatch. Weapons seem much more realistic, this way. Yes, there's a bit more camping, but the weapons are so much better balanced.
