Actually, I have a question: I know the single player mode is largely irrelevant (at least I hope it is, considering how short it is), but does the plot actually make any sense at all? Spoileriffic discussion after the break.

So the big bad from MW1 is now a dead hero to the sheeple masses of Russia, ok. So now this other big bad rises in his place, stages a LOLMUMBAIAMIRITE terrorist attack and implicates “America”. Red Dawn ensues. We break Supermo out of the Gulag, and he decides to nuke the east coast of the USA, because clearly he’s seen Glenn Beck’s show and knows there’s only one way to be sure.

So we track down the intel that … well I don’t know exactly what the intel proves. That the Big Bad Rusky carried out the terrorist attack I think? Doesn’t matter, because Big Bad Henrikson kills me again, and takes the intel, and that’s the last we hear of that. Now Supermo and (“Don’t Drop the”) “Soap” McTavish are off to kill Big Bad Henrikson, who explains how miserable he was that 30,000 of his soldiers died (I am guessing the nuke in MW1?) and apparently that did nothing to bring up recruitment numbers. But nuking the east coast will definitely do that, right? I mean people weren’t likely to be prompted by the big motherfucker invasion by Russia, right? Ok.

So we kill Big Bad Henrikson and live to sell another game.

Did I get the plot right there? Is there something I missed? It all seems kinda… I dunno.. cheap.

The game is fine though. Just as good as it always was. Though a proper cover system would still be very welcome. And don’t ever include a quote from that draft-dodging war criminal motherfucker of privilege Dick Cheney in your “poignant” war quotes ever again. Holy shit, the supposed immorality of the No Russian level has nothing on that.
