Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II

The campaign was pretty good, but the multiplayer side of things is a complete mess. The User interface (UI) is all over the place and not easy to navigate. They've experimented with a new perk system which is a complete shambles. The gunsmith has become unnecessarily complicated; for some reason you need to use other guns to unlock attachments for the gun that you are using or want to use. It is completely baffling to me why they've changed so much (for the worse) after the success of MW2019.

As of writing this you are currently unavailable to check your statistics such as wins, kill/death ratio so on and so forth; I imagine they will add this in near future as this has been a staple of call of duty for many years. There are also a number of game modes missing most notably the hardcore mode which a lot of people are extremely frustrated by. Overall I give this game a 5/10 would be higher if I was only reviewing the campaign, but the online multiplayer has been lacklustre to say the least.

I don't think I've been in a match yet that didn't have a normal player that doesn't hide behind a corner and sit there, roast some marshmallows, tell a ghost story, and just wait for a player to happen to walk by. Camping isn't fun. It's stupid, unskilled and boring. Why am I complaining about this? This is a mechanic. Sure. So, why isn't there game modes with small maps? Like shipment 24/7. That's what I played on MW because I was getting sick of everyone just camping. Where are those game modes? Enough about that though.

A lot of the maps were poorly made. You know that map with all those cars? I don't think I have to explain myself to help understand why it was made horribly. And there's many more maps to go with just that one.

Campaign? Solid. One complaint: not long enough. I beat it in one day on the hardest difficulty.

Where is rust?

Where is terminal?

You're remaking an original game, so why not bring those legendary maps back? I don't understand.

Didn't enjoy this other than the campaign, I genuinely feel like I wasted money on it.

I'm seeing a lot of SJW's defending this game by saying "just get better at it. Stop wishing for old cod back" Well, I'm not wishing old cod was back. The argument of getting good falls apart on itself when everyone besides you is just hiding behind a corner waiting. That's not getting good, that's being lame.

Just because a video game looks incredible, doesn't make it a good game. Example: Max Payne 1 and 2 were amazing games with pretty raunchy graphics. Max Payne 3 had outstanding graphics and mechanics, yet it was the worst out of all of them.

My point: don't put all of your effort into graphics and mechanics and half a$$ everything else. Fix this video game.

Having the title MW2 they knew that if they mess up nothing will be left of COD because the OG is still one of the best if not even the Goat of the series.

Gratfully they made an amazing with an amazing Campaign like MW2 back in 2009.

Graphics in the cutscenes start looking like a real movie and the gameplay was good overall.

With MW2 you will at least have a 9 hour long Story(played on Veteran). From my point of view, this is a near perfect COD game.

Does it surpass the MW from 2019?

By far!

Story 9/10 Gameplay 8.5/10 Cutscenes 10/10 Graphics 10/10 Missions 8.75/10 Ending 9/10

Overall 9/10.

Call of duty: Modern Warfare 2 is one of the best games in the saga and can reach the level of Black ops 1 and Modern Warfare 3.

For a long time in the saga of Call of Duty, who did not see good and fun missions. The character development is not bad at all, but the one who gets the character star in this video game is Alejandro Vargas. In all the scenes in which he appears he is a great character and also his voice is very good, speaking in Spanish and English.

Multiplayer section: The multiplayer is fun, the weapons are good, but I hate that this game also has Skill base match making, because that ruins the experience for me and I hope that in another COD it will not be repeated.

Special Ops: Same as Modern Warfare 2019, fun, but after playing it for a while you get bored.

Spoilers: if you haven't finished the campaign don't read this, I'll also skip some not so important parts:

The campaign starts well, we play as Ghost and we kill Ghorbrani (fun fact, this guy actually existed). We later learn that Hassan, Ghorbrani's second-in-command, has US missiles. And who provided these missiles was Shepherd, who works alongside the Shadow Company. And here is the point that I liked least about the MW 2 campaign, why they have to make Shepherd a traitor again. This game could make an honorable character out of Shepherd and end up making him a villain again. Well, let's get on with the campaign. We also found out that the nameless man is actually a woman named Valeria, an old friend of Alejandro's, but it doesn't last long, because they stop her quickly, but she gives us important information for the plot. We also learn that the Shadow Company is evil, which is why. Price forms the Ghost team, which can be fan service, but I like this fan service. Next, we killed Graves, the leader of the Shadow Company. And lastly we need Hassan, who we ended up killing with Ghost and at the same time saving Ghost. The end of the game shows us another fan service, and what is this, since Makarov, the villain of the previous MW trilogy, is named, and I also like this fan service, so there is nothing wrong. But in the post credit scenes we are shown the scene of no Russian, the strongest mission of the entire saga, but nothing is seen either, it is only a reference to this mission.

Conclusion: The best COD campaing, the multiplayer is fine, but do not include in the next game the Skill base match making and the special operations: good in the first hours and boring in the following ones.

This game is really fun, it's got the classic call of duty gunplay which is pretty good and in my opinion the campaign was pretty enjoyable for the most part, although the stealth sections near the end could have been a little more fun and i found them to be pretty tedious because the crafting system wasn't really anything special. I got this game for the multiplayer though, and honestly i don't know if i like it or not. One one hand, the guns feel great and the new attachment system is refreshing, on the other hand the severe connectivity and optimization issues mixed in with quite a few bugs ruins the flow of the game for me. 6/10.
