From the gamespot review:
"Kallie played Modern Warfare at a review event hosted by Activision. She completed the campaign on Normal difficulty in around five hours, spending around eight trying all the multiplayer game types and another two in Spec Ops. The original Modern Warfare is among her favorite games."
So basically they played the game for one-two days (for 15 hours? probably two days right?) in a special event?
I don't know if I like this method of reviewing. But who am I...
Still trying to decide if I dip or not on PC...
Almost all companies have stopped it as its not even close to normal. Most of them time including their net connections and so forth and aren't representative of actual at home gameplay.
Which is why IGN and now it looks like a couple others refused to do a review based on it.
Two companies I work with consistently actually made it clear the preview event coverage I did a couple days prior at a gathering should in no way shape or form be considered in the review as it wasn't at home. And as PCgamer alludes to their version wasn't even balanced or complete(possibly). They state that in the sidebar or at least discuss all the issues in it.
The PC Gamer sidebar note about a mode
" It's a neat conceit designed to be heavily replayable, but the version I played at the review event was in rough shape. Enemies constantly spawned behind us in areas we'd already cleared, we never had enough ammo, and the balance felt totally off. Almost no groups could finish a single mission (mine included). We didn't have much fun, but it's easy to see where it can be improved. "
But as folks play it we will of course get more impressions/reviews to flesh out whats up.
