CAMPAIGN
Call of Duty: Ghosts campaign guide
Single-player only. Co-op lives in Extinction and Squads, not in the campaign.
From my notes. The question I kept getting wrong in my own notes was co-op. Wikipedia and the Fandom mode list put cooperative play in Extinction, Squads and Safeguard. I could not find a campaign co-op mode, so the answer at the top of this page is no.
Length, collectibles, difficulty
HowLongToBeat's user submissions put the main story near 6.5 hours and a completionist run near 13 hours. Those are not an official timer. Per-difficulty times were not in the sources I used, so I am not printing any.
There are 18 Rorke Files, one in each mission. Collecting all of them unlocks the Audiophile achievement. The mission order and who you control is on the mission list.
What the campaign is about, without the ending
You play Logan Walker in a 2028 war against the Federation, after the ODIN strike. Hesh, Elias, Merrick, Keegan and Riley the dog are the people the missions keep returning to. Rorke is the antagonist.
The last mission is a cliffhanger. I am not summarizing it here. It is behind a spoiler control on the ending page.
