Continuing on with CoD4, I finished Act 2 today, and it did feel quite a bit shorter than the first one. If this trend keeps up, Act 3 should only take a couple hours…

The highlight of this act was one chapter that was essentially a stealth mission, where you and your commander have to infiltrate the area around Chernobyl while disguised in ghillie suits. At one point you’re right out in an open field and have to keep low while enemy tanks and soldiers walk right past you, and you still have to carefully make sure that they don’t run or walk right over you.

The other high point of the act is one where you’re sent on an assassination of sorts, and after completing the hit you have to scramble to escape a rather large number of enemy soldiers, holding out until the chopper arrives to pick you up. It’s supposed to be one of the hardest parts in the game, and I did have to restart a handful of times, but it didn’t seem quite that bad in the end.
