That's one reason why I'm so excited about Duke Nukem Forever… it's going to be old-school in terms of campaign length, or at least that's what they're claiming. Supposedly "three times the length of a CoD game".

Heh, old school in terms of length still wasn't that long I don't think...maybe 10 hours?

Depends… remember how many levels the Doom games had? Or even games like Duke 3D, Heretic, or Blood? You sure as hell couldn't finish those in a day…

Yeah, it varied in the old days but I would guess 10-15 for the standard. Now that standard is 5-8 or so.
There are still longer shooters sometimes though. Dead Space 2 took me 12 or so hours. BioShock is crazy long, like 20 hours. Doom 3 was 20 or so hours as well.

Not very good reviews so far, glad I canceled my pre-order.

Unfortunately the game length is a killer for me. I won't buy these throw away titles that are made mostly for multiplayer. I wouldn't care if one of my favorite authors like Robert Jordon's ghost came back and helped create this or another game. A 5 - 10 hour long games are ridiculous and I want no part of them.
Jesus, first I won't get DA 2 and now Homefront. I'm buying less and less games lately. I guess I just can't put up with the BS anymore. I have better things to waste my time on.

why don't you donate that money to charity?
could feed alot of people with that money.
I wont even bother with this game the official reviews say the game lasts only 2 hours now. Three years of development and millions spent making the game and this is what they made.

I'll buy it when it hits $20... a 5 hour scripted campaign is worth about that much to me.

I usually by shooters for 5-10€ when they come available in steam sale. Duke's balls of steel is propably the only one I have ordered for full price recently.
