So this campaign...

Wow. It's a lot more violent than I expected it to be. The story being presented is pretty good, but it suffers from the tried but true COD syndrome. Sometimes the violence becomes over the top and tasteless, I'm not a fan of the torture scenes, the multiple, torture scenes. And playing as the kid, that wasn't much fun at all.

you should tank my byddy who brought a controller with him.

yes there is split screen for local MP and it works! tried it 30 min ago.
if it works correctly however that is a different story, as the split is horizontal and the FoW is horrible. my eyes started to hurt after just 3 minutes...
dunno if that is normal as this was the first time ever i have done split screen.

Are you online and connected to PlayStation Plus though or whatever its called? From what I can gather and have seen so far, there is no local, offline split screen unless they have patched it recently.

MP is not offline, it never have been. Think you needed to be online to play bots in black ops 2 also or am i wrong there??

I have been on psn+ since the day i bought the machine as it is manadatory for many games MP on ps4. dont even know if you can do spec ops or MP without psn+.

Well that’s the single player finished tonight and have really enjoyed that. Some tricky parts on the hardest setting but was easier than I expected it to be.

Now will go through the levels again on easy to mop up any achievements and make a dent in multi and spec ops.
Am wondering where they take modern warfare from this point forward now.

I just finished it. This was a great campaign. I haven't been this pleased with a story since Ghosts!

I like the direction they are taking this too, rebooting familiar characters and modernizing the story line is great and there were enough nostalgia moments to keep old fans happy while making the setting accessible to the younger crowd. I also have to say, I like this version of Captain Price a lot more. He seems much more down to earth and relateable, while maintaining that ultra cool vibe he had in the original.

Update: Got home from being away for work and updated CoD - can now play offline, local split screen deathmatches. Still no sign of the Co-Op missions tho - I assume they are coming 'soon'.

Does it have bots in said offline mode? I have a friend who likes playing CoD but hates the multiplayer aspect. Or rather hates the kind of people who tend to play the multiplayer aspect most fervently.

Yes, my son and I played on the same team with 3 bots against a bunch of other bots.

I'll be sure to tell him then! He'll probably be happy.

yes but the amount of players (bots + humans) cannot exeed 6 per team, so the the 10v10 tdm and domination mode is not avalible, but their maps are.(10v10 has 3 large maps that is not avalible for normal 6v6 in online mp)
ground war is allso not avalible in online bot games.

What a ridiculous limitation.

For 10v10 yes i agree.

For groundwar i bet it is more work to program AI to use vehicles then what it is worth, so they dident bother with it. Heck they dont use or enter the gunner position on the Bradly APC killstreak reward. (atleast not the few times i dropped it)
On the otherhand, a bot with the cod aimbot inside an APC would be unstoppable, seeing how powerfull they are.
