One of the things that put me off getting MW3 was the so called short campaign. I have had it for a couple of weeks now and I have to say that for the beginner (this is my first MW game) the reputed 5 hour campaign is way off. I have clocked in 8+ hours and I'm not even half way yet. If you are UberLeet and only ever play with the pistol (as any other weapon would make it too easy) then you probably could zip through it in less time. I want to enjoy the ride and take in the atmosphere.
For the solo player there is also the Spec-Ops games. These are a bit like GOWs Horde mode where you have to see how many waves of baddies you can withstand. There are also some general challenge games where you have to complete timed courses, etc. I haven't played these much yet but they look like they add a few hours to the game.
Say 15/20 hours for your first run through and half that for a second/harder level and you are probably getting your monies worth from it. Add Spec-Ops and you are probably talking £1 per hour of entertainment.
So as a non multiplayer player, I would give the game 8/10. The plot is just a bit too far fetched to be believable and your companions don't really have a personality between them, but the game play is great.
Update:
I will keep it at 8/10 but I have since realised that completing the single player campaign once counts as 50% of the campaign % score. I am guessing you have to do it twice (or even three times to get all the achievements) to get 100%.
