Robert Bowling, the Community Manager for Infinity Ward, spoke with IGN about the length of the single player campaign found in Modern Warfare 2. Many criticized the first game's "short" campaign (about six hours) and concerns were raised that MW2's campaign would be just as short.
If you're a fan of an engaging story and gameplay above game length, you should be quite content. Let's not forget that Modern Warfare 2 is still on track for a November 10 release on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and the PC. We'd like to extend our thanks to community contributor DarkWolf2 for alerting us to this news.
Oh hey look, a petition that's now over 104,000 signatures large (as of this posting). I wonder what that could be for?
"We try and focus on the experience we're trying to deliver," Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling told IGN, "and we really let the story dictate how long the game is."
"We never go into development saying 'We're going to make a 20 hour game because people want a 20 hour game' – we want to deliver an intense experience where you walk away and go 'wow, I want to play more,'" Bowling responded when asked if Infinity Ward had taken on board any of the criticisms aimed at the first game.
"It's okay for you to want to play more of something – that's a good thing," he continued, "And then you've got all these other modes. You might love the story, it left you wanting more but that's great but jump into the multiplayer and 14 million people have been playing it for two years straight. That's a long game, no matter how you look at it."
