BF 3's Single player Campaign Longer than MW3 but Does it Matter?

Just in from GameZone.com and MW3 Daily:


It’s already known that Battlefield 3’s campaign is longer than Modern Warfare 2’s single player campaign.  But how does Modern Warfare 3 stack up against its predecessor?
According to Glen Schofield, one of the founders of Modern Warfare 3 co-developer Sledgehammer Games, the single player campaign for Modern Warfare 3 feels longer than the campaign for Modern Warfare 2.  That doesn’t mean it necessarily IS longer.  Schofield clarified that “the exact length depends on the player.”  Seeing as how Modern Warfare 2 was criticized for it’s short single player length, I’m not sure that’s a good way of answering the question.
What does that mean it feels longer?  Does that mean the story drags on? Schofield added that one of the goals with Modern Warfare 3 was for players to come away praising the story as well as the spectacle.  Personally, I’m all about the multiplayer, but I will admit Modern Warfare 2’s story was very intriguing.  I don’t care if Modern Warfare 3’s campaign is longer or shorter, just as long as its as entertaining and memorable. 
Schofield also shared one of his favorite parts of the single player campaign, a moment in Berlin where a building is collapsing around the player in real time, and then the player has to enter the downed structure while it’s still creaking and groaning.  That does sound pretty intense.

Sony Executive Howard Stringer asked by Shareholder to Resign


It looks like Sony is going to see a major leadership change...soon. According to Pete Davidson writing for Gamepro.com who got the story from Reuters:

"During a recent shareholders' meeting, Sony CEO was discussing the PSN hack and Sony's handling of the situation when a shareholder asked him to step down. The request was made with a view to allowing the company to make a fresh start following what is widely believed to be the biggest security breach in the history of the Internet", reports Reuters.

Looks like someone is going to sacrificed to appease the shareholder's and why not? It was a BIG screw-up!

Facebook hires hacker GeoHot


PRIVACY SHREDDING Facebook has hired the celebrated hacker Geohot, or George Hotz, according to reports.
Hotz is the computer expert who came up with a way of cracking Sony Playstations. He was also indirectly the cause of hacker attacks on Sony that bought its online gaming network to its knees, due to Sony's heavy handed legal bullying. Now, according to reports, he has a much more sedate occupation - working at Facebook.
