How to wage Modern Warfare

This game takes place right after Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. There’s a slight problem with that: They didn’t make a CoD: Modern Warfare 2 for the Wii, so I have little idea as to what the story is.
But the game does a great job of getting me up to speed on what’s going on, starting with an invasion of America and the New York Stock Market, then going all over the world to find the leader of the opposition and eliminating him. The single player mode gives all the thrills I was expecting from a CoD game (great level design and varied weapons), and several thrilling moments (something that other first person shooters for the Wii are lacking).
The main mode will take about four to six hours for most players to complete, and I like the levels enough that I would want to go back and give them another go.
But there’s one thing I don’t like about the single player campaign: the enemy intel. Just what is the purpose of getting those briefcases? They have no impact on the game whatsoever, and they don’t give any tips on what enemies you face in the single player mode.
But it’s a good thing there’s online multiplayer where you, your friends, and some others can go out and blast each other like in other CoD games. This mode is what most players are going for.
Yet, I would’ve liked to see an offline multiplayer game, like they have in Conduit 2 or the latest Goldeneye on the Wii, so we can wage war without relying on an online connection.
Still, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 delivers on almost everything that I was looking for in a first person shooter. It makes me wish they made a Modern Warfare 2 for the Wii. BUY IT.

It was great. Except that adding a single ally resulting in my account being hacked... apparently the creators of this series still hasn't worked that c.r.a.p out and I don't appreciate having to go back through 18 hours of work. Way to go guys (and I don't blame Nintendo since this is an issue on the server-end and that makes it the developers and server/operators problem). Game returned, way to drop the ball people. Hacks aren't fun, they're 'f' r.e.t.a.r.d.e.d since they require no skill or know-how to do. Just jerks who aren't real gamers (cause you have to be a real gamer to not need cheats to win, which I was just fine at until my account was hacked).
