Given some of the levels in COD were drop-down fucking stunning, such as pretty much everything Modern Warfare.

Be more specific.

-The story itself is framed as a flashback during interrogation.

-There's an obligatory raining hell from above airplane mission. In this case the back seat of an F/A 18. (I didn't realize they had two-seater variants.)

-Several parts have unlimited spawning enemies until you move past a trigger.

I've yet really to encounter a set piece that really stunned me or stood apart in any way. I'll see how the second half of the game is.

BTW, I was really looking forward to this game, so that may explain my disappointment. Too much anticipation maybe.
