A typical playthrough of the <strong>main campaign<\/strong> will take most players between <strong>8 to 10 hours<\/strong> to complete. This timing focuses on experiencing the main story and completing the primary objectives of each mission. Factors such as difficulty level and a player\u2019s familiarity with first-person shooters can slightly adjust this timeframe.
