I think that must be it. It just can't be as good as everyone was expecting.
I'm a bit disappointed about the 5-hour SP game though.

Stand next to the wall in front of you and shoot the foreign people over the other side of the river. At a certain point the guy in charge will tell you to switch to your grenade launcher (With appropriate tutorial instructions). At that point kill the foreign people with your grenade launcher. When all the foreign people are dead you'll be told to get into the car. After that you'll have no problems figuring out which foreign people to shoot.

This is what I was doing, several times in fact, but it then kept saying the bridge had been taken or something and chucked me back to the start again. Dunno if I can be arsed to try it again TBH
At one point you get told there are some people on the bridge about to do naughty things. I suspect you're missing that and not killing them. The dirty foreigns are then taking the bridge. LISTEN TO YOUR CO SOLDIER.
I have just had the most intense 10h 50 mins and 25.66 seconds of my life. Cal of Duty MW2 On veteran was a riot. This has to be the game of the year or there is no justice in the world. The story was so over the top and the ending was spectacular.
Those Brazilian slums are the first remotely challenging bit on "regular" difficulty. Ignoring the pointlessly annoying "slam your skiddoo into a tree" downhill bit earlier, of course. The ice station assault was properly atmospheric until then, though.
Meanwhile, after being introduced to Guitar Hero for the first time at the weekend, I've been out and bought Guitar Hero 5, Band Hero, and Rock Band: Beatles. Now I don't know which to play! CoD had me *so* addicted to it two years ago, Band Hero is pretty polished (not convinced by many of the songs, though), and the Beatles game is less polished but both easier and has catchier music. Is it possible to play a music game at the same time as slaughtering people with an M4, do you think?

Likewise, I've only been dipping in and out today and want to finish SP before I get stuck into online as I know once I start on that I won't be doing anything else for weeks!
Has anyone been getting problems with trophies on the ps3 version? I've not had one yet and it won't sync the trophies - also if you install the patch first - the modern warfare 2 trophy collection doesnt appear in the trophy collection part of the o/s?!?
Great move on release day! And what the hell is the serial number for on the back of the manual? I haven't had to enter anything?
So it's not a single player campaign made up of nice-for-one-play-through set pieces tacked on to an overhyped multiplayer mode then? That's the worst comment I've heard so far.
Oddly lacking are the usual hyperbolic, gushing testimonials. That said I've been speaking to real live people about it rather than consulting the internets, so far.
