people seem to be down on the game as a single player game. is it worth getting if that's all it would be used for? I have heard good things, but I would probably only use it for single player, missions...
Honestly, probably not. Single player is about 6 hours long, total, and it's not a ground breaking experience.
IT's more a online shooter that has single player attached than vice versa. All the polish and replay value is online.
I used to be the same way about any game besides NBA 2k10...as in I'd only play NBA online, and halo, or soul caliber or DOA or whatever...I'd play them only single player.
But COD6 (is it 6?) is going to change your mind about it if you devote one hour to growing pains. Once you get that first kill streak you'll never look back.
I dont even have xbox live...just the xbox. I dont really want to pay for the online service and what comes with it, so I am trying to determine whether the game is worthwhile or not. looks like i'll just wait a while and get it when it gets cheaper...
Man, I don't know about your money but Live is only 50 dollars a year, and you can pay up front. You can either have a credit card linked to your account or buy a one year ticket deal.. Or even 3 months cards for like 20 bucks. Sometimes you even get free trials with the games.
If you've got an Xbox Live friendly ISP, just give it a try man. It's not a huge financial risk or anything
Could always get a PS3 and play online for free, but that's probably not a good choice.. Plus the quality of PSOnline is just lacking. Everything from the actual service to the people who play on there (no offense to anyone on PSO)
CoD for is worth a rental is you're just playing campaign for sure.. i wrote a review for it a couple pages back, but honesetly, and I feel like a geek saying this but I just spent the last 11 hours playing online.. From 1AM to 11am.. When you go on a huge role it's extremely fun and addictive.
