Yep. I just think the campaign is so amazing, still great the second time through. I think that really says something about this game that I played through it twice. I never played through MGS4, CoD4,  
Killzone 2, Assassin's Creed 2, BioShock, or any other game twice. I don't get why people think the single player is weak, because I've already gotten a good 10+ hours out of it. That's really good for a game that relies so heavily on its online modes. 
 
 
Eh, did anybody else like the single player? Everybody talks about the multilayer so much, what about the single player?

I liked it.It's 5 hours.Of course you played it twice.I played COD4 like 4 times over.
God damn short call of duty games!

I bought the game (used, 20 bucks) for the single-player only, so yeah. I wouldn't call it amazing from a videogames-as-storytelling-medium, but it certainly is a great rollercoaster ride.
 
 
However, it impressed me only slightly more than COD4 - on the Wii. It goes to show how much more important mission and sound design is as opposed to resolution, shaders and effects.

MW2 is the first game you played the campaign more than once?
 
Really?  I hope you mean this gen, but still I can think of at least a half dozen that I've played through twice.

" MW2 is the first game you played the campaign more than once?  Really?  I hope you mean this gen, but still I can think of at least a half dozen that I've played through twice. "

I feel kind of weird now; there are plenty of games that I've put hundreds of hours into, and a handful in which I've sunk a couple thousand. v__v

I'm trying to remember if I played through twice or three times, hrm. 
 
I'm thinking it was three.

I love playing the single player but there's some story turns that I didn't agree with and now agree with even less knowing a MW3 isn't going to be helmed by the same people.

I didnt like Tf141 parts the rest was savage.

Honestly I thought it was great.  A very tight, varied and exciting campaign.  Probably my favourite FPS campaign (PD is a close second).  I recently got a free code for COD 1 and played through that campaign last week.  It was interesting to see how the series has evolved.  I beat MW2 on Veteran but I'm not sure if I'd be able to have the same success with COD 1 for the achievement.  

CoD4 I played three times; once on normal, once on veteran, and once again to get all the intel.
 
MW2 I played twice; once on veteran and once again to get all the intel.

Once on veteran was far more than enough.

I really liked the single player and plan on getting around to playing it again.  But other things are more important at the moment.

Nobody thinks the MW2 SP is bad, in fact most people think it's amazing. The story is the part of the SP people disagree with. 
 
I beat it twice once on Easy and once on Veteran.

I went assuming I'd really like it because of how much I loved CoD4's campaign - unfortunately I didn't.
 
COD4 was something totally new and impressive, MW2 just had a bit of a "more of the same" feeling for me.
 
I know it was really well done, it just didn't grab me like I thought it would.

You should play the half life series.  You'll totally wanna play through it a million times.

It vaguely freaks me out that all the games you mentioned were this current generation

3 time, Hardcore, Veteran and Normal for quick S&G's.  MW2's single player is immense.  The game is only stupidly short if you put it on a wemma's skill level to start off with.  I played COD WAW on normal with my mate yesterday and we did the whole campaign in about 4 hours, yes it does miss a level out.  Put it on Veteran and Heart of the Reich will take you 5 hours, MW2 took me about 11 hours first go on Hardcore, actually did the Vet run quicker basically because I knew what was coming and was heavily seasoned by World of War veteran I'd done in between.

There are two types of Modern Warfare 2 players: Those that actually played the campaign and those that don't even acknowledge its existence. I for one enjoyed it very much.

You liked the single player? not me, it was just overall annoying to get through

the only problem i had with it was i wish that it was longer. there are some side things that didn't get answered. why was the dude with the mustache (can't think of his name right now) in that prison place, how did the Russians (i  think) capture the white house.

The campaign was pretty good but the second half really blew the first half out of the water.

1. It was Capt. Price! Play CoD4 and you'll understand.  

 2. Did you not get it? The entire world thought you launched a terrorist attack on Russia. I think Russia could take the white house in a mass invasion if America had no idea they were even coming to do so. "

Sure, you can beat it in a single sitting. Fun campaign, but I found it boring the second time around.  
  
I usually don't play through modern games twice though. Big time commitment when I can just spend three hours beating some NES or Genesis game for the 50th time. Streets of Rage 2... I can't even begin to imagine how many times I've played through that one over the years.
