Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Where to begin? well, the plot, with twists and all, is brilliant and enjoyable. I found myself shocked and surprised at what i thought were the key moments to be shocked and surprised, which was a definite plus.

I also enjoyed the idea of a different attachment with each weapon and had fun playing around with this for hours on end! What i was stunned by were the graphics. A great improvement from a great previous game! I couldn't believe what i was seeing half the time! Multiplayer is excellent, with more incentive to play and try out different mixes of equipment in each match.

Overall, a great sequel, hats off to infinity ward, well done guys!

We gamers trend to be a conservative bunch. The most popular games tend to be sequels to already established series like Grand Theft Auto, Pro Evolution Soccer, Uncharted 2, the Football Manager series, the Total War series etc... One of the most popular is the Call of Duty series. Call of Duty games were often set in the Second World War, but the series found great critical and commercial success with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare set in the near future. A sequel was inevitable and it has become the fastest selling game in history.

Set 5 years after the previous game the Ultra-Nationalists have taken control of Russia and Zakhaev had been made into a national hero. General Shepherd (Lance Henriksen) forms a new counter-terrorism force, including "Soap" MacTavish (Kevin McKidd), the playable character in the previous game. Early on in the game Russian terrorists attack an airport in Russia, and kill a CIA undercover agent to frame America for it. This gives Russia international sympathy and they invade the East Coast of America. Shepherd and his team have to stop the Russian before the war goes nuclear and the action takes the player to Brazil, Russia and Afghanstan. As well you end up fighting on the frontline in the war against Russia as Private Ramirez in the US Rangers.

The plot is entertaining enough. But what makes games great is whether they are playable, and this one is. The controls are simple and the game itself is more playable then it's predecessor. It is highly addictive to and very enjoy. It is sadly a little short but you could always raise the difficulty level. It is simple fun playing soldier.

There was controversy with one of the games missions set in a Russia airport where it you play the CIA operative undercover with a Russian terrorist group. You have to help kill innocent people, which the controversial nature of the mission. I can understand the victim of terrorism concerns, but I don't mind violence in computer games. The same agreements were used against violence films, but I'm of the view that if someone is influence to commit a violence act because of something in the media then they were not right in the head in the first place.

Overall, very enjoyable for die-hard gamers.

This is my favorite . After playing mw3 , all black ops , and world at war . This game is the OG game of the entire series . And the spec ops are off the chain . Just recently replayed this . On my old Xbox 360 . I forgot how fun this game was and realistic . Only hard part is getting used to when you shoot the enemy there's gonna be no Little - marks or a little vibration knowing that you hit the enemy like in the other newer modern warfare is. Which makes it even more realistic. Personally, infinity ward was my most favorite production company or graphic company with this particular franchise.

I remember when I was in college I used to play this game whole day. Wow Thanks to the creators of this game. Call of Duty franchise is died after this game. Till BO4 no game compete this Call of Duty game.

This is one of the best first person shooters ever made, in my opinion. The graphics hold up today, the gameplay is enthralling, and the story is almost perfect. The controls also feel very good on the PS3 controller and even with the different controls from modern COD games it feels natural. During the game you play as 4 characters and when you switch between them it doesn't feel jarring or disorienting and the game gets you invested in all the different storylines. The multiplayer was also very good but now the servers aren't as active but that is expected because the game came out in 2009. Overall I recommend this game heavily to anyone with a PS3 or anyone with a newer gen console to get the remastered version.
