Seriously? Hmm.. I really don't want to measure a game's worth by quantity but 4-6 hours is not much. I was hoping for a bit more to justify a 60 dollar purchase since I have no interest in MP.

Not a fan of Dead Silence being such an easy field upgrade to get. It's going to be way too popular, alongside SP Rounds, though I suspect more noobs will use that
Things like the Shield sound so useless when you have so many better options
Can someone link me some streams plz

6 is more or less the average length for a CoD campaign. 4 seems really unlikely since that'd make it the shortest campaign they've ever done.
Well, that's not the average completion time though. Most CoD campaigns seems to be in a range of 5-8 hours (main story) so I guess 4-6 hours isn't far off albeit still a bit on the lower side. Still have no idea where this 4-6 range is coming from, has it been confirmed or hinted by anyone yet?
With Outer Worlds dropping the same day I'd be really OK with MW's campaign being on the shorter side. I don't think I'd want a 12-20 hour campaign, just make the missions compelling.
Yeah, this would be perfect for me. Gotta be able to finish it before Death Stranding ;)
For me its always been like this with COD Campaigns:
Easy/Normal Difficulty = 3-5 hours
Hard/Veteran = 5-8 hours
I don't think I have ever played a COD that lasted longer than 7 hours on the hardest difficulty, maybe Black Ops 3 on Realistic took me like 8-9 hours for obvious reasons. I haven't played COD 1-3 so I can't speak for those.

Disgraceful if true. 10 hours would be acceptable, 15 would be perfect.
this thread specifically results in ad redirects, anyone else?
that's the average cod campaign?
But that's every Call of Duty game for the past 12 or so years.
The campaigns are around 5-6 hours in length.
Folks can look up each COD title on HowLongToBeat if they're curious. The times are self-reported but averaged.
Yea, like what the hell? 10-15 is overstaying its welcome for a cod single player.
No way the campaign is as long as it usually is? WTF ya'll on?
As far as we know, according to the blog posts, progress is shared across both.
I'm fine with the 4-6 hours rumored. COD campaigns are typically short to begin with, but usually all killer no filler.
Have some of y'all never played a COD campaign? The new game is par for the course in terms of length.
Are people really liking the campaign? I don't want to be spoiled. I loved MW 1-3 and Infinite Warfare's. I didn't play Ghosts campaign.
Infinite Warfare was the perfect length for q CoD campaign especially if you did all the side missions.
Can you post a link to that ?
Would be awesome to 2x exp right out da gate!!
Is there any controversial scenes like the airport lv or the bomb killing kid and mother scene?
I hope we'll get side missions again.
If someone replies to this please spoiler it.
I have a dumb question. How does cross play work? If I wanted to get a copy for my gf on ps and me on Xbox
, will we be able to play and party chat? or is it not that in depth of a feature. Thanks!

Cross play is based on your controller input and for voice it's in game chat only.
not sure i can its a link in an email. and i read that incorrectly it says ''start your preloaded game with an extra 2XP when you sign up for call of duty league news''. i thought it said 2x XP, i still hope thats what they mean because wtf 2 points is pretty much nothing.
I'll disagree with that. The characterization of the villains is so paper-thin, you could poke a finger thru Kit Harrington to discover he's been hastily assembled from tissue paper. Similarly, the heroes are depicted as unquestionably heroic. There's no ambiguity to the war between Earth and Mars: you're the "good guys", they're the "bad guys". There's so little character growth that the finale, with everyone dying around you, comes off as bizarrely hollow in spite of the sudden volume of humanity being displayed by previously one-dimensional characters.
Considering the strongest campaign in the series is typically regarded as MW1, which has oodles of moral ambiguity and a goes out of its way to criticize the "Us vs. Them" mentality (which Infinite Warfare unfailingly depicts with its Earth vs. Mars war), it's hard for me to give Infinite Warfare a leg up in any way besides gameplay. It simply doesn't have the guts to be critical of war, in spite of how dreadfully nihilistic and depressing the title "Infinite Warfare" implies.
While the level design, pacing, and morals being shown in the game are well-handled, I was totally unconvinced until the final level that anyone in the story actually gave a shit about what was going on, protagonist Nick Reyes included. The stakes in a conflict of "pure good" versus "absolute evil" should be incredibly intense, but I never really got that impression. It just comes off as G.I. Joe, but in space and with more dying and dead people.
Cobra Commander has more characterization than Salen Kotch does, though. And they totally wasted Peter Weller.
Infinite Warfare's best assets were its presentation (which it nailed, since the game's aesthetics are gorgeous), its level and encounter design, and the fact that the game only ever breaks the first person perspective four times total in the story. I was genuinely amazed on a replay of the game how, if you never do side missions, your perspective only ever breaks for four story cutscenes, the last of which happens at the very end of the game. The fact that you end missions flying into the Retribution, get loaded into the docking bay, hop out, speak with people, get brought to command, take on a new mission, and repeat the whole process should be gratuitous, but it's one of my favorite parts of the game, since it lets those briefings happen naturally, lets you hear some witty Whedon-esque banter between Reyes, Salter, Ethan, and Omar, and gives the player time to breathe.
Man.
I really want to know more detail from third party sources about Spec Ops... but the beta was good, and I'll play both MP and Spec Ops...
Embargo pls
To be fair, the last 3 games have been fucking awful. This one feels right.
