Modern Warfare 2

CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 2 REVIEW: o SaK x

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the best selling shooter of all time was an amazing one. Critics constantly at it saying that CoD4’s high standards could not be re-met, but in my honest opinion, Infinity Ward hasn’t just met those standards, but has easily exceeded them. 7 Million sales on day one; continue to read if you want to find out if those sales were deserved.

Pros: Multi-Player has lots of new features, deep story, action packed, rewarding game play, competitive co-op mode, great additions (spec ops).

Cons: Campaign very short (est. 5 hours), blood effect distracting.

Call of Duty 4 left off in a deep story. Modern Warfare 2 picks up in the same spot, this time you are not controlling beloved Soap McTavish, but 5 different characters instead. The campaign is set in many different problematic areas in the world like Kazakhstan, Afghanistan and Brazil. This game even goes to portray a Russian invasion into the United States. Although this has caused lots of controversy among the media, the story could not have gotten any more interesting. There is no doubt you will be deeply engaged in the campaign.

Campaign: 9/10

In Modern Warfare 2, a new mode was introduced. This mode, known as Special Operations (Spec Ops), has a variety of challenges that can be completed with a friend via split screen, with a friend online, and for those lone wolves out there, by yourself.
Spec Ops has added a lot of extra game time, and the challenges are lots of fun. This mode has also introduced a high arcade style factor with things like snow mobile racing. My personal favourite mode is a tower defense style mode; in which you fight off waves and waves of enemies using things provided on your small tower. It is almost guaranteed that Spec Ops will be almost as successful as the critically acclaimed ‘Nazi Zombies’ mode in Call of Duty: World at War developed by Treyarch.

Spec Ops: 9.5/10




Now for the best part: Online Multi Player.
Modern Warfare 1 was famous for many things, the main one being Online Multi-Player. Infinity Ward ever so flawlessly created possibly the most entertaining Multi-Player experiences of all time. Everyone knew that it was not balanced, with things like Grenade Launchers, Martyrdom etc, but regardless of a few errors, it was flat-out amazing. So anyone would ask; How in the WORLD can Infinity Ward make a better experience? Well we don’t know what kind of inhumane methods they may have used, but they definitely managed it. Besides the obvious outrage due to the lack of dedicated servers, the online portion of this game was just amazing. The new kill streaks were awesome, and ingeniously implemented into the game play. Come on, you KNOW you want to nuke it up. A nuclear bomb can be acquired, but only once you achieve a Kill Streak of 25. The Multi Player is very well balanced, different weapons are suited for different players, and there is a gun for everyone. And unlike CoD4, there are no obviously superior guns. Although many will fight that this game is very noob-friendly, I can confirm that even though there are still some perks geared towards noobs, only good players will prevail. The Multi-Player constantly rewards you with new things such as guns, perks, banners, emblems, symbols and kill streaks. There are always more things to look forward to. You can keep leveling; the level cap is 70, and there are 10 prestige levels; so therefore you can level to 70, 10 times. 700 ranks + nuclear bombs = WIN!
All in all, I think this game has taken over crown of best Multi-Player experience.

Multi-Player: 10/10






Graphical Portion (explosions, effects, sounds, graphics):
Modern Warfare 2 has some really beautiful missions. In the mission Cliffhanger, you are in a snowy valley stealthily fighting enemies. The effects of the snow are very amazing, and although the physics are not perfect, they are great. This game, however, can not be compared to the graphics of exclusive PS3 or PC games such as Crysis or Uncharted 2. For a multi-platform game, the graphics are phenomenal. The sounds of this game are really realistic and give you the right feel, and the explosions are beautifully illustrated in this game. The environment (water bottles, garbage) react quite well with the explosions.

Graphical: 8.8/10



Overall:
This game basically is what everyone wanted, Modern Warfare with new features, and everything improved. This is exactly what everyone wished for and more. Despite a few small flaws, this game is amazing. This is definitely a contender for Game of The Year.

Overall Score: 9.4/10 (AMAZING)
