The new free missions were disappointing to find in this game. They don't feel like proper campaign missions. They come off more like Spec Ops levels. I remember the rumors that this started out as an expansion, and these free missions sure make it feel that way. The thing is, the missions aren't bad. I enjoyed them even though they aren't what I want from a Call of Duty campaign. They actually reminded me more of Far Cry. I lowered my expectations for the campaign after I got a few of these levels back-to-back, but then the levels managed to impress me. I loved the level that took place in the high rise building. It was a clever subversion of what came before. It ended up being a solid, B-tier Call of Duty campaign. It's not on the same level as the last two Modern Warfare games, but it's still good.

The campaign makes up for the shortcomings of the campaign. I've been having a great time with it. It's free of the connectivity issues of Vanguard. It's been a solid experience outside of a couple of crashes I had. It all ended up balancing out to a great Call of Duty game.
