Really fun and solid campaign, playing this and World at War back to back is an interesting experience since this game feels so varied in its gameplay on top of having an interesting story while WaW is essentially just six hours of shooting the same WW2 guns (not a knock at WaW too, I think it's fun to essentially just play the action scenes in a WW2 movie).

The only complaints I've got are with the AI; I'm used to playing most FPS campaigns on the difficulty above normal and they tend to be pretty consistent throughout the entire experience, but MW's AI is completely bipolar depending on how you're playing the game. If you take it really slow and at the pace the game wants you to be at, they're brain dead and struggle to hit you while going down in an easy headshot. If you accidentally push forward a millimeter more than the game wants, suddenly they have super mega fuck you death laser beams coming out of their guns that take you down in a second, on top of becoming super resilient to your shots (I swear I had moments where I would die to an enemy I just emptied an entire mag into or directly blew up with a nade). Besides that inconsistency, I really enjoyed this game and I can imagine audiences did as well when it came out since there had to be fatigue after 3 (four include BRO) WW2 games.
