I agree, from what I've seen (Masterkizz's gameplay up until The Hunted) the campaign feels incredibly dull compared to Black Ops II, and even when not compared to that game because it did have one of the best campaigns ever, it's pretty uninteresting and has holes in it. The cutscenes had nice editing but overall arbitrary GFX effects with Elias' monotone narration wasn't very interesting, none of the characters interest me, doge was over-advertised, Rorke's motive is bullshit and selfish, the Ghosts were not all that special, et cetera. I almost snoozed during one of the videos because I just couldn't get immersed over it. The only reason why I even want to watch the remaining videos aside from the commentary is because I want to know what the ending is like so I can understand what all the bitching about it is.

And Kyle, I very much doubt Veteran will add that much gameplay time, because one must a have an inhuman patience and nerves of steel - scratch that, nerves of Nokia 3310 - as well as piss-poor skill to actually attempt to finish a campaign and spend 300+ hours on it because of sheer difficulty. Even if I were determined to play through WaW on Veteran, it would take me max 50 hours. Also consider how easy Veteran has turned over the recent games, the enemy AI is retarded and the player is given a pretty easy time to cater to all new FPS gamers (since CoD is the starting point for many of them).
