The game also features a special cooperative player component known as SpecOps.
According to Mark Bozon, game reviewer for popular gaming site ign.com, "You may have thought you were buying Modern Warfare 2 simply for the competitive multiplayer or single-player campaign alone, but mark my words; you will be pulled in by SpecOps, and when it's all said and done, you'll be begging for more".
There is only one complaint that seems to be a consensus from those who have had a chance to play the game - the relatively short single-player campaign. Many people have claimed they beat the game in less than five hours on a medium difficutly, which will be disappointing to those who are purchasing the game for the single-player mode alone.
That being said, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is still a great game, especially for those who plan to experience all that it has to offer, from SpecOps to the online community. For anyone who enjoyed the orginal Modern Warfare, this game will not disappoint.
The game retails for approximately $60 and is avaliable for Windows-based computers, Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's Playstation 3.
All-Time Sales
As of June 1, 2009, the Call of Duty franchise had sold about 35 million units, although that number is now likely above 40 million. Here is a list of some other top-selling video game franchises of all time.

You forgot about the other complaint: no dedicated servers for PC gamers.
