I agree that the single-player and the story were both very short. I dont care though, this game is amazing. I know they're leaving the story up to sequals, they want to keep this game going as long as possible... with good reason. This is going to be another Halo-esque cash cow. I always HATED Halo, thought it was over-rated crap which could not compare with Half-Life/Counter-Strike which came out like what... 5 years earlier? GoW actually changed the way people fight the battles, does away with the bunny hopping which always killed FPS's for me.
My two primary gripes is the fact only 2 people per Xbox can play. I have a big ass TV at my house, and we have 4 player CoD/GRAW nights all the time. The reasons given were the stress and system requirements, which are reasonable, but they could simply tone down the graphics for 4player... most tvs are small enough split that you won't notice. And the second gripe is the short storyline.. beat in only a couple hours.
HOWEVER... I doubt I'll beat insane anytime soon. Takes about 3 clips of ammo to put one enemy down... the hardest thing about it is trying to finish off enemies with your pistol cause you're out of everything else.
