Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Review

Archive: 9 posts


Note: Be sure to check the other Call of Duty: MOdern Warfare 2 thread to discuss online play and the story.

Introduction
I'm proud owner of this year's anticipated action game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. I have played it personally and loved it.So now I present to you this review, in case some of you still don't know if you want it. So now, review time.

Story
The story was picked up from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare beautifully. It was like being in a movie. Thegraphics were unbelievable, the weapons unimagineable, and the action was intense, something eevery FPS fan will love. It also involves MGS stealth like missions. Luckily for you, the weapon attachments like Thermal Scope and Heartbeat Sensors is something you'll appreciate. The betrayal scenes were so powerful, it gives you a sense of what real war is about. Plus, the vehicles you get to drive are fun and action packed! The ending was dramatic, from the wonderful boat fight,to the mid air chopper explosion, to the final fight (which leaves open a wide window for Modern Warfare 3). Finally, Infinity Ward has kept the mood good with the intense non-stop violence, explosions, and sceneries that make you wish you were there.

Special Operations (Spec Ops)This section of time-to-spare levels are perfect for those who want more action and/or trophies. It includes a unique blend of both stealth and intense shootings.

Online
Finally, the moment we've all been waiing for, online play. Online is sick! You get to have killstreak options, like remote controlled Predator Missles, and air dropped Care Packages, the random (think Call of Duty: World At War's Random Boxes) artillery boxes! You also get to ride a chopper and become the gunner in Chopper Gunner! I swear, the action is violent and fast. Nuke Tactical displays this easily, because it drops a nuclear bomb o the map, and that's it. Instant death to everybody! The match ends, along with the person, who got the Nuke Tactical, gets a big XP gain! But this can only be accomplished by killing many people, and trust me, with the endless weapon combinations, like a P90 with Red Dot Sight and Rapid Fire (Bling), it's possible. Now Call Signs are a bonus, with the custom Titles and cool Emblings, you get something foward to unlock. So with that said, the many modes of online, like the new Capture The Flag, will keep you occupied, along with the new perks, and some old Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare perks. It's just shows you'll probably won't grow tired of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 mayhem.

Conclusion
Despite the criticism of the airport terrorism level, "No Russian", and the kind of confusing story, Infinity Ward has showed the world once again how creative they are.

Sorry to bulldoze your review, but the storyline was terribble in my opinion. The people who made it obviously have no idea how real war works. A bridge layer? Really? Miniguns on humvees? The U.S. getting nuked? Infinity ward will make up anything to make what they feel makes a good game. I'm open for debate about this.2009-11-27 00:35:00

I agree on the storyline being terrible, but only because it made almost no sense. I only know that some guy replaced the one you killed in the first game, and the guy who betrays you is working for him. Other than that, they over did it. Here's an example of this, which I made up:

*Let's say I ARD was murdered (sorry ARD). Now were trying to find out who killed ARD.*
Me: Who could have killed ARD? Wait, ARD, add a C and it spells CARD. CARD is a construction paper cut out that has symbols on it. Construction paper, as in what the people in South Park use. Wait, South Park, consist of a boy named Cartman, meaning Confused Cartman did it!

See what I mean. In other words, they get these ideas and conclusions from out of nowhere. It's like they pulled the stuff from right out of their butts.

lol!!! Nice confused cartman story.

I mostly am complaining about exxagerated effect and things that would never happen. If russia fired a nuke at us, we would immediately detect it and fire a missile at it, and fire nukes at them and the world would be plunged into a nuclear war.

Also, I realise sheperd isn't the nicest person, but besides killing two people (and I still have no clue why), was he really that evil?

Well think of it this way: George Bush became president. Anything is possible.

Besides, it's a game. Resistance 2 isn't real (except Hybrid-Leader, that's a 100% real Chimera).

I know it's a game, that's the basis of this discussion. But a very unrealistic game 2009-11-27 05:39:00

Task Force 141 is the best! That's the only part I know, because the Spetznas story narrator sounds like he's drunk.

"Zu' neez' to go to the LZ anz' pick up za' package. I neez' a drink."

If I can talk to the characters in the game, I would like to say:

"How about a tall glass of shut the **** up!"

Yer I like spec ops but to be honest I'm bored of most of cod now and so I'll only play it because I have a few mins to kill.

The multiplayer gets repetitive just like the rest of the cod multiplayers and the only thing that makes me come back is that gap of time I have that is long enough to beat turning on my psp and short enough that I can't fit in an Arma 2 mission.

The single player I thought was good. I think anyone who calls the game realistic now really is moronic, the first game was falsely labeled as realistic by reviewers and I'm glad that I:W have shown that wasn't what they wanted.

Only thing that I really disagree about is the graphics, I mean they were good compared to their last game but they're still only equal to Resistance 2 which came out a year ago now.
