True to its name and following the lead of its predecessor, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, it places players in modern combat settings, as opposed to the WWII environments of the earlier Call of Duty games. This modern approach brings with it new weapons, action and options. Coupled with a variety of gameplay modes including single player, multiplayer and the co-op Special Ops Mode, it is destined to be one of the most popular games of 2009 and a worthy addition to the Call of Duty series. .caption { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; } ul.indent { list-style: inside disc; text-indent: -15px; } table.callout { font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1. 3em; } td.vgoverview { height: 125px; background: #9DC4D8 url(http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/callout-bg.png) repeat-x; border-left: 1px solid #999999; border-right: 1px solid #999999; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; width: 250px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; } Classic tactical FPS action.

Story The storyline of Modern Warfare 2 picks up where the events of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare left off. The ultranationalist Russian leader Zakhaev has been eliminated, but it seems that his lieutenant, Vladimir Makarov, is an even bigger danger. Having made a successful play for power, Intel indicates that he is extending the reach of his influence well beyond the borders of Mother Russia, causing a stir in the international community and prompting the involvement of Task Force 141. Task Force 141 is an elite multinational unit made up of Navy Seals, Delta Force operatives, British SAS and CIA. In the single player campaign you are Sergeant Gary "Roach" Sanderson, with the hero of Call of Duty 4, "Soap" MacTavish, promoted to Captain, making an appearance as an NPC (non-player character) and your commanding officer. The elimination of Makarov and his underlings at any cost is your number one priority, regardless where the fight occurs. Gameplay The latest release in arguably the most successful tactical first-person shooter franchise of all-time, gameplay in Modern Warfare 2 follows the same winning and time-tested structure of earlier games in the series. In the single player campaign players are aided by AI squad members as they take on a series of missions aimed at eliminating Ultranationalist forces. Each mission is built around a particular objective, with players utilizing some level of guidance from NPC characters, including "Soap" MacTavish, and aided in navigation by the game's heads up display (HUD). Along the way players will be able to utilize a wide variety of weaponry and and vehicles, as well as be able to customize weapons with gadgets attached to them. Also, just as in previous games in the series, Modern Warfare 2 is heavily focused on multiplayer gameplay. The different multiplayer modes, available both in local play and online, contain plenty of customization options and revolve around different strategies ranging from the every man for himself action of "Free-for All," the classic team-based fun of "Capture the Flag and the tactical, team-oriented action of "Search and Destroy," just to name a few. Multiplayer modes also feature the "Perk" System that players may be familiar with from earlier in the franchise. Through this system players gain additional abilities, weapons and benefits as they gain experience in combat. This can be done by leveling up, but another important way way is through "kill streaks," the number of enemies eliminated in succession. These are available beginning with three kills and include the ability to call for supply drops, predator missile strikes, helicopter gunships and many more. Players have the ability to customize in advance which perks will be available at each number and can even gauge their progress towards each at the touch of a button. With an eye towards not making the game too hard for new players the game also features help to players experiencing "death streaks," multiple consecutive deaths in multiplayer matches. Special Ops Co-op Mode Along with a single player mode and multiple multiplayer modes, Modern Warfare 2 also features an unique third main play option, Special Ops Mode. Available both online and in local play, Special Ops Mode is designed to provide a distinct time-based play option, featuring special scenarios not found in other modes in the game and lots of enemies to take on. This mode can be played either alone or with a friend, again either locally or online, with local co-op play including split-screen functionality. Key Game Features Challenging Multiplayer Modes – Modern Warfare 2 will contain a wealth of multiplayer modes including: the every man for himself action of "Free-for All," the classic team-based fun of "Capture the Flag and the tactical, team-oriented action of "Search and Destroy." Improved AI Enemies – Improved artificial intelligence now allows enemies to attack from virtually any direction as players respawn into the game adding additional challenges. An All-new Call of Duty Adventure - Modern Warfare 2 features an all new Call of Duty storyline revolving around the continuing struggles against the Russian rebel group the Ultranationalists, who have found a new and more dangerous leader. The 'Special Ops' Optional Co-op Mode – "Special Ops" Mode allows two players, either alone or with a friend, to engage in unique mission play and features split-screen functionality. Diverse In-game Environments - Battlegrounds traversed in the game range from the lonely, snow-clad mountains of Kazakhstan, to dark tunnels in the Afghanistan and the crowded slums of Rio. Nonstop Action - Modern Warfare 2 contains no cutscenes, so players are always engaged in the action, no matter where they are in the game. New Breach Gameplay Mechanic - Players can now blaze their own paths through the game by "Breaching" formerly impregnable obstacles like walls and doors with explosives. New Gadgets, Weapons and Weapons System Modern Warfare 2 contains many new and updated weapons, new weapons attachments, as well as a variant of the multiplayer weapons customization system from Call of Duty 4, now available in the single player campaign. New Perks and Increased Customization - Multiplayer modes feature new perks for leveling up, and for killstreaks and deathstreaks. Those awarded for streaks can customized in advance according to when they become available. |

| It's a must buy by Baurie Bisson (New Hampshire) 5 Stars November 22, 2009 mw2 is the sequal to the game of the year dall of duty modern warfare. the single player is short but full of action. its a must have for all fps shooters. and there is 3rd person shooter multiplayer if u like that!! the online is amazing and the spec opps mode is really fun. so i give it a 5 out of 5. and in 2 years maybe 3, be ready for a modern warfare 3!!
| | Call of duty modern warfare 2 Worth Playing by Ricardo (NY) 5 Stars November 22, 2009 The new special ops mode allows you to experience amazing thrill on the campaign with other friends 2-4 people and it's challenging and many objectives to complete. The competitive online took 2 years to finish and it's better than ever before. Your missions take you around the world to a number of exotic locations the action is smooth and fun to go through The aggressive enemy AI will keep you active and success is hard-earned and satisfying. The campaign is pretty short and takes 5 hours to complete. A dramatic prison rescue, a marine infiltration, and a snow mobile chase makes the campaign fun to finish. The action is much faster and deadlier and there is many different guns, perks and equipments to help you as you level.
Overall 9.8 out of 10
Amazing game to play with friends
Definitely recommend it
keeps you playing for hours
| | COD MW2 by Brandon M. Cleveland (ATL) 5 Stars November 22, 2009 Buy it!!! Theres a reason why a game breaks so many records and its the follow up. The story is awesome but yes its short. THE GAME IS MADE FOR ONLINE!!!!!! If you get this game remember the hype is about the online play. It broke almost every record so far because of the online play. If you dont play it online DONT WRITE A REVIEW. I love this game and if you buy it you will to.
| | I think it is a great game on my new PS3 by J. Gary (Rock Hill, SC) 5 Stars November 21, 2009 I am not a game tester and I only have a few games for PC and PS3, but I think this is a great game. No regrets making this one one of the few I will buy. Yes, I have stumbled on gliches a couple of times like the sound will mess up for a few minutes but the game saves frequently so if it ever goes down completely I guess it won't be a big deal.
It is quite hard at first to get the hang of and I found right away that I am not qualified to play death match yet, but it is getting easier. It might have to do with the graphics being so good with so much detail, it takes some time to get used to the game play. Not sure about those of you who have finished the single player part in 4 hours. I'm glad I'm not that good because I feel like I will get my $60 bucks worth out of this one when I get through.
I'm running it on 1080i and a 5 year old TV. It looks clearer and fits the screen better than some other games that get stretched at the edge of my TV.
The variety of weapons is great and they all function and perform differently.
If the game was any more realistic you would have to wear body armor when playing it. Some of the action is stressful and intense with bullets flying at you from snipers and other hidden locations with the periodic granade to escape in panic from.
Music during game play is fantastic. Example: Some missions take you to South America and the music here fits great. If you have surround sound, wow.
SO in short, I give Modern Warfare 2 high marks. I haven't played it's predecessors as I haven't had my PS3 for very long. Perhaps if I had, I'd be more credical.
| | From a casual gamer... by Andrey Zubkov (Bridgewater, NJ USA) 5 Stars November 21, 2009 This is the first FPS game that I bought in probably over 5 years, and I had a blast. If you're a casual gamer like me, and just want some eye candy and an easy to follow game where you shoot down the bad guys...this is it. The campaign mode is pretty short I guess, around 6 hours of play time. But the online gameplay is nice, and it's a good game to have when friends come over and you want a split-screen shooter. Overall, it's a fun game; it's easy to pick up and you get to shoot down a bunch of russkies.
