Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Blog Post: Fun Campaign, Entertaining Multiplayer, makes MW2 an Elite Title

Ramil X2X — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 01:54:00 GMT

This game has so much potential to it, it is hard to describe it. The deep Multiplayer experience is great with friends, family, and on Xbox Live. The Graphics are what you will expect from the previous Modern Warfare but a little improved as you can see. Replay Value is really High as I play this many times alone or with friends. Sound is exquisite with gun sounds that are very realistic and favorable. The Campaign is fun and brightly colored but compared to the previous Modern Warfare, it is a little messy with less anticipation when playing it. Still the campaign ending gives you are cliffhanger on what will happen to the primary character. The Special Ops mode is great with hours of challenging missions that are really entertaining and addicting to get all the stars. Overall, Modern Warfare 2 is a high standard for First Person Shooters in my book.

Blog Post: My review of MW2

xXKevinOhlhXx — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 20:54:00 GMT

It had few flaws. Im amazed. there's hardly an ability to make a montage, and Spec Ops Missions were really not all that fun. But all else is amazing.

Blog Post: The Most Amazing Call of Duty Game. Ever.

HeyItsWill_5115 — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 02:36:00 GMT

This is how the Call of Duty series got to where it is today. By this masterful game right here. Modern Warfare 2. I may be being a little too serious about it, but this game is the real deal, from the Campaign to Spec Ops.

The Campaign follows various different characters as the incredible story goes on. First it's PFC Joseph Allen. Impressed by his combat abilities, Allen is recruited to Task Force 141 by General Shepard. He is later sent on a mission with Vladimir Makarov. Allen is an undercover for the C.I.A while participating in a massacre of innocent civilians at a Moscow Airport.

Meanwhile after the massacre, Makarov kills Allen, leaving the body behind, sparking a massive war between Russia and the United States. Like most Call of Duty games, you will switch between two factions: Task Force 141 and the United States Army Rangers.

On Task Force 141, you will play as Sergeant Gary "Roach" Sanderson, while fighting along side Captain "John" Soap MacTavish and Lieutenant Simon "Ghost" Riley. You will fight in various locations, eliminating Russians and Brazilian Milita.

But on the Rangers side, you play as Private James Ramirez, which you fight in United States locations such as Washington D.C. and Virginia.

Eventually, Ghost and Roach are trying to find Makarov in a Russian-Georgian Estate, until betrayed and killed by General Shepard.

Now, you will play as Soap in a search for Shepard.

After finally locating Shepard, Soap and the rescued-from-prison Price chase down Shepard, while Soap almost loses his life from multiple wounds, and finally, Soap kills him, ending the Campaign.

It was the most fantastic Call of Duty Campaign I've ever played, and after completing it, you are rewarded the Museum, which shows displays of enemies from all the missions. And the fun part is, you can press the red button at the desk and they will all try to kill you. This is fun in a way.

After playing the Campaign, you will probably skip to the amazing Multiplayer, which is the best one in the series. With a wide variety of weapons, highly detailed and fun to play maps, some cool interactive killstreak rewards, and incredible game modes such as your standard Team Deathmatch, it's pretty much perfect.

It's a huge difference from World at War, graphics and gameplay wise. I was actually surprised on how much the graphics changed, speaking of them.

After progressing in Multiplayer, you might go on the brand new to the series Spec Ops. The only disappointment I had with this is you can't play with random people online, but that's what Modern Warfare 3 is for. Although this is unfortunate, you can still play with a friend on your list.

The missions are pretty straight forward. Most of them are pretty challenge and will keep you busy after the Campaign.

Modern Warfare 2 is probably a just about perfect game. There's clearly not much to say bad about it. I was surprised on how far the series has come, and this is totally the best Call of Duty to buy yet, even with Modern Warfare 3 already out.

Blog Post: Modern Warfare Would Be Proud

tompengu — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 22:56:00 GMT

Modern Warfare 2 is a great game. While I was not a person who played the multiplayer, I did very much enjoy the single player campaign. The campiagn comes back gun-a-blazin' and leads off with Soap McTavish leading his own squad. It fills up some holes on what happened in the stunning cliffhanger of Modern Warfare. The story gives a great depth to the characters and lives up to it's predessor.

New mechanics gives players better feel, and old controls feel right at home. Graphics were superb, which is what you would expect from a CoD title.

This game is a game that helps define, or taint, a generation of young gamers, and I hope Modern Warfare, continues to stun gamers for as long as we want them.

Blog Post: Can an overhyped game live up to the hype?

PlasmaGames — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 04:13:00 GMT

Yes. yes it can. MW2 is a fantastic game. Sure it's no uncharted but the next best thing that came out in 2009. It has a decent story with an amzing online and a really cool spec ops mode.

Wiki Page: MW2 Killstreak Rewards

Edward — Sun, 14 Aug 2011 07:26:00 GMT

This is a guide to killstreak rewards for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Enjoy.

3 Kill Streak: UAV (Spy Plane) A small aircraft encircles the map for a short amount of time, revealing enemy locations as red dots on the mini map. Every few seconds, the UAV does a "refresh" on the map, revealing the enemies location as they are moving. (Can be Shot Down) Note: The Cold Blooded perk, if used by the enemy, makes them invisible on the radar, unless they fire an un-surpressed weapon.

4 Kill Streak: Care Package This killstreak allows you to throw down a marker which sets the location of a random killstreak (other than care package and tactical nuke) or ammo crate that can be picked up by anyone. (Helicopter that carries Care Package can be shot down)

4 Kill Streak: Counter UAV ( Counter Spy Plane ) The same thing as the UAV, except it completely jams enemy radar and radio messages. (Can be shot down)

5 Kill Streak: Sentry Gun Allows you to throw down a marker which airdrops a placeable (and destructible) Sentry Gun that shoots anything that isn't friendly. (The package is dropped down much in the same way as a care package)

5 Kill Streak: Predator Missile Control a missile that fires down from above onto your enemies startled heads. The map is viewed from top down as you pilot it towards your intended target. Can shoot down aircraft.

6 Kill Streak: Precision Airstrike Target a small portion of the map to be bombarded with rockets. Like it says, PRECISION, so don't just put it anywhere.

7 Kill Streak: Harrier Strike Target a location on the map to be bombed, then guarded by a fierce Harrier aircraft. Can be shot down.

7 Kill Streak: Attack Helicopter Shoots anybody in range if not under covered area can be shot down.

8 Kill Streak: Emergency Airdrop Like a care package gone wild, an EA is basically a Care Package, but with 4 instead of one Package being dropped.

9 Kill Streak: Pavelow A highly upgraded version of the attack helicopter. It is heavily armored and initially fires flares from its belly to cause incoming missiles to be confused and miss the target. The Pavelow also flies around quite a bit more, so it definitely give you your money's worth,

11 Kill Streak: Chopper Gunner Be the gunner of an armored helicopter that encircles the map a few times.

11 Kill Streak: AC -130 Gunship Pilot a gunship from a very long distance away. Has three firing modes to ensure enemy is obliterated. First firing mode is a very powerful missile. Second is Flak which is less powerful but highly effective when you need multiple shots fired quickly. Third is a high calibur machinegun which is basically the gun from a Chopper Gunner kill streak.

15 Kill Streak: EMP Disables ALL enemy electronics (Heartbeat Sensors, Mini Map, etc...)

25 Kill Streak: Tactical Nuke End the match with a bang, literally. Once this killstreak is activated, it's over in ten seconds, kills everyone, including you and your teammates, but ensures victory. *EDITED BY xX-w0lf_r3b0rn-X*: It is possible to disable a Tactical Nuke. All you have to do is call an EMP right before it hits the ground.

Well, hope you found this helpful :)

Blog Post: PC Version Comes Short

Jellosnake — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 12:57:00 GMT

I've spent an enormouse amount of time playing this game, both single and multiplayer on both consoles and PC, but this version is the weakest of the three.

Major downfalls of the PC version: no stat tracking, no leaderboards, no dedicated server support, a long delay on dlc releases compared to the consoles, IWnet's terrible anticheat functionality (much more prevelent on PC), no control pad support

Major benefits of PC version: no quickscoping

This game was absolutly created for consoles. The graphics customizability is poor, having few options other than what comes standard (low antialiasing and such). The major bugs with online, now that they are finally fixed, took weeks to months to fix (for all versions), dropping the appeal of playing this when it first released.

I could go into details on my actual complaints of the game and praise its igh quality parts, but odds are you already know. Final words for you: Buy this on XBox

Blog Post: The Best Call of Duty...so far

Edward — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 19:08:00 GMT

Modern Warfare ranks among the best games i've ever played. The online play is the best part of this game. It takes place after the first Modern Warfare and you play as many characters. The storyline could've been better. The multiplayer has a lot of depth and the points system is great. There is really nothing wrong with this game. I don't know how Activision will follow up to this. And that's a good thing.

Blog Post: The campaign is great...

nkTJH — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 06:50:00 GMT

But the multiplayer sucks. Way too many campers, noobtubers, modders, and more. The campaign part is alright but it seems too much of it was stolen from movies like Black Hawk Down.

Forum Post: Re: How did this game get a GI rating of 9.75?

Edward — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 22:45:00 GMT

There are minimal issues with the game

Blog Post: Awesome Call of Duty Games

Madhouse — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 17:01:00 GMT

I think this game was awesome. If you didn't play the mission No Russian you missed a good twist in the plot. The mission Loose Ends was a hard but during the download part it also had a good twist at the end. The Gulag was a fun place for a mission. The ending was awesome too. It might just been my computer but some times computers moved slowly. Multiplayer was awesome to I haven't gotten to prestige yet but so far it has been awesome. I love how unlike World at War you can use shotguns as secondary weapons not primary. Special Ops was awesome too . . . I haven't beat all those either. The Musem bonus level is awesome too.

Wiki Page: Modern Warfare Multiplayer Guide (Assault Rifles: Heavy)

ConnorTheGamer — Mon, 30 May 2011 12:35:00 GMT

Well,we all agree that Modern Warfare 2 is a great game, right? Campaign is easy enough, but when you get to Online, it's a whole different story. I remember the first time when I played that my final score was 0-15. That was terrible though I did get the accolade participant. I got better eventually, but then realized that others might have the same problems as me. Hope this helps!

SCAR-H: This is like the M4A1 on steroids. A heavy assault rifle with a slowish rate of fire. However, it makes up for damage. This gun is good with the attachments silencer, red dot sight, and FMJ for extra damage.

ACR: Another great heavy assault rifle. This gun has more strengths then the SCAR-H, like mobility, higher rate of fire, and better accuracy. However, this gun has less damage then the SCAR-H. Good attachments: Red Dot Sight, silencer, and grenade launcher.

AK-47: One of the world's first automatic modern assault rifle just went rambo. This is a all powerful gun good in every category. Need I say more? Good attachments, everything. Wonderful gun. It's like death in a can.

Blog Post: Modern Warfare 2 Expectations

blackopsbeast — Sat, 28 May 2011 20:49:00 GMT

This game met and exceeded my expectations. It's always been the law of culture that the sequel will be more popular but not as good, well this one was more popular and greatly improved. I always start by at least playing the first mission on campaign so I at least know the difference between crouching and blowing myself up. I was somewhat disappointed when I saw the pit, getting the feeling that I had just been on a fake wooden boat as soap. Then, in the start of the real first mission I saw this game had a special quality to it. First off, we had been fighting in Afghanistan before, that wasn't new from the first modern warfare, however what I couldn't believe was how they had taken the same idea and put a new technological twist. The enemy were smarter, better armed, and in a greater supply. The addition of a Humvee also surprised me. I ended up finishing the campaign and it went down as my third favorite campaign in history. The only thing keeping me from giving a 10 is the feeling that I had been there before and there were only but a few groundbreaking differences in the campaign. The addition of special ops as a way to play instead of arcade mode in the first game was quite a nice change though, recognizing landmarks and missions from both games, it was amazing as to how fun random objectives could be. This game also has one of the best multiplayer system ever, I was proud to be a part of the 20 million people "doing it" as they said in the commercials. So, all around an awesome game, had fun playing it and hope that the third Modern Warfare builds even more.

Blog Post: Infinity Ward sky high expectations

Shockwave543 — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 01:04:00 GMT

My expectations on this sequel were very high and you know what? they really were . Starting with the campaign every single level was a total high action pumping experience , big explosions, a lot of tense, nice narrative and dramatic sequences . The gameplay is very smooth and easy, a great variety of weapons , cool characters lives with the experience. In the multiplayer side, it takes it to a whole new level there are a many good modes just like Demolition,Domination and the old classic Team Death match one of the most fantastic modes is the Headquarters pro , defending never was so challenging . The sound design is top notch. Meanwhile the final and new feature Spec Ops is very innovative simply because its entertaining in every way and when you rank up to Veteran pray to never die also is a great mode for offline users giving it a little more of time to get achievements or trophies and extending the use.

Blog Post: Not 4, but not bad

Dustin — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 01:55:00 GMT

As the sequel to the greatest military shooter of all time, Modern Warfare 2 had a lot to live up to. For the most part, it delivers. The campaign delivers on the "omg!" moments, partly masking the fact that the plot sometimes makes no sense. I didn't play much multiplayer on this game, so look elsewhere for reviews on that. The Special Ops mode is a fun diversion, but doesn't stand up to Nazi Zombies from World of War.

Blog Post: A Roller coster experience of fans who like First person shooters

nathan98 — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 12:10:00 GMT

The moment i started playing Modern warfare 2 i was like WOW and OMG I didnt see that comeing it is recomended to peaple to like first person shooters with its great multiplayer and single player though i would recomend you play spec ops in solo mode

Story:

5 years after the events of the Modern warfare 1 you play as multaple charicters through out the story basicley remember Zakahav (the dude you killed in modern warfare 1) he has a assistant called Makarov and he is basicley super mad about killing his boss. so (SPOILER ALERT) russies start invadeing the U.S.A witch you fight in as a american in one charicter you play as. meanwhile task force 141 is trying to uncover the conspericy behind Makarov. the story is verey tense and makes you wonder whats gonna happen next.(5/5)

Multiplayer

After your done with singile player you can go do the online muliplayer it has several maps to play on (my favorate is the airport map) and alot of weapon unlocks. Weapon attachments and camos can be unlocked via chalenges like for example get 15 head shots to unlock digital camo the multiplayer has some campy maps to make sure you throw a grenadein to a room that you know has campers. (4/5)

Coop

coop online is imposible to get into if i were you i would recomend to do coop on solo mode. (2/5)

Overal rateing

Overall modern warfare 2 is a must buy for first person shooter fans with its great multiplayer and story however if you want to do coop do it alone.

(9.5/10)
