I thought it was pretty bad tbh. After playing STALKER and Crysis, CoD's enemies feel like cardboard cutouts and it's not fun or satisfying at all to fight them.
Though the whole thing was incredibly boring, with it picking up slightly towards the end.
Edit: And yes the story was complete nonsense and all over the place.

We will all discover on the next episode of "How the COD world turns!" BUM BUM BUM!
"Raise the flag high! Let the degenerates know who comes to claim their lives this day!"
BTW, I dont think price ever intended to nuke DC. I think it was planned for it to blow up high in the atmosphere/space, which creates an EMP effect.
As for the rest of the story line, I have no fucking clue. It does feel a bit like there was a level missing between each level we played to fill in the gaps.

It did blow up in the atmosphere, hence why the ISS and the astronaut got kicked into the void.bennisboy wrote:

I still wonder, if US&A gets attacked by a nuke, isn´t there some kind of automatic retaliation firing back our own missiles automatic going on?

I've played the first few levels of the SP, and so far, it really makes no sense.
Ok, so firstly you're in Afghanistan, fair enough. Don't see what it has to do with the story but ok. Then you're in some firefight against some bad guys. Who are they, I dunno. Why are there so many of them, so well equipped like a proper army, I have no idea. Then after that you're in some base in Kazakhstan going for some Satellite or, well they didn't really seem to explain it properly. Then you get the Airport scene, which sort of makes sense. Then it's traced to Brazil.
But who the fuck are all these Brazillian bad guys, where the fuck did they come from. Thousands of them from what it seems. What the hell are they so pissed off about? Why are a bunch of SAS goons taking them on, instead of like, the Brazilians themselves.
Then, ok, Russia invades the USA. Some talk about the Satellite ACS thing that was mentioned in the Snow mission so I'm guessing it's linked to that somehow.
I'll admit I didn't pay that much attention to the story, but so far, it seems confusing. I didn't get to play any more afterwards, so maybe it all makes sense in future missions, I have no idea. I've played right up to the end of the mission in Virginia where you're fighting around that retail complex sort of area. So far it's like ok what the fuck is all this shit
I guess I just need to play the whole game

The first Afghanistan part is to bring Allen in. Foley is asked to look out for a new recruit into TF 141 for deep undercover work by Shepard, working for the CIA.
The ACS module on the satellite (military I guess) allows the Russians to defeat the US warning systems until its too late (you're there to retrieve it since the Russia's are now controlled by the ultranationalists).
Although I don't know how Makarov learns about Allen (perhaps he had connections with Shepard) I can assume he planned the airport massacre with the intention of leaving Allen dead at the scene (rather than spontaneously) so that the Russians could justify an attack on the US with little condemnation (or something), using the cracked ACS to get in close enough to attack.
They track a shell casing at the airport to Brazil and the arms dealer who supplied Makarov's attack (Alex the Red), which is why they go in to get him instead of the Brazilians (may also have something to do with the large amount of militia protecting him). Except all they learn from him is the location of prisoner 627, who they decide to rescue to draw Makarov out.
I won't reveal any more than that since you haven't played beyond that point.

I'm also certain that Shepherd was either working directly with the ultranationalists or that he was "working" with them without their knowledge. Either way he certainly had stopped working with them once they had ceased to become useful.
