Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

it is the best game on the xbox 360 it will keep you playing for hours and hours try this one out

As much as I don't want to repeat what other reviews have said, I feel that i must bring it up in my review. This game has been one of the most anticipated games to be released in 2009. With that is going to be a lot of hype from almost every person. As with any game that comes out there is going to be problems with the game, whether it be in singleplayer, spec ops, or multiplayer, and i will address these issues later in my review. I will break up the my review into three parts, each with two sub parts. Singleplayer, Spec Ops, and Multiplayer. Each with Pros and Cons. SINGLEPLAYER The games campaign starts five years after the events of Call of Duty 4:Modern Warfare takes place. Ultranationalists have taken control of Russian and one of Imran Zakhaev's (The main antagonist in COD4) former lieutenants, Vladimir Makarov, has begun a campaign of terrorism in Europe over the course of those five years. You will play as a number of characters, including a U.S. Marine, Taskforce 141 operatives, and a undercover CIA agent (which is the same character as you play the US Marine). The Controversies surrounding the single player campaign includes the level "No Russian". This level revolves around a deep in cover CIA operative who has been place inside Makarovs posse. During this level you partake in the massacre of a Russian airport. NOTE: that you have the option to skip this level where it has very disturbing gameplay. this level has created a huge controversy issue in all part of the world (im talking about real life). if you go onto [...] and search for this game you will be able to find a more detailed page about what i am explaining. The rest of the game goes on front there. A Russian invasion lands of the home front of the United States due to the CIA agent loosing his cover by Makarov, thus the russians find out that a American was in the posse, and claim revenge on America. (what i have just said some player did not understand in the game). The game is fast paced, to say the least. It wont take long for the occasional gamer to finish it. The gameplay has about six hours in it. you could probably beat the game on normal in a day if you wanted to. Veteran is challenging, but not as much as in previous Call of Duty games. PROS: -Graphics a amazing, gameplay in intense, simple controls, and you can get the hang of it rarely quickly. CONS: - To short, some minor plot holes. SPEC OPS: Spec ops are a side co-op gameplay that makes up for the short storyline. These missions have nothing to due with the actual storyline of the campaign. various modes include stealth operations, defensives and offensive levels broken up in various difficulties. There isnt a really downfall for spec ops, its a lot of fun playing with someone on the couch next to you or one of your buddies online. PROS: -fun, exciting, intense and challenging CONS: -there is no matchmaking for spec ops (thats the only con i see about it.) MULTIPLAYER: This is going to be a big chunk of information that i am about to share with you. The games multiplayer is one of the most popular. The game has a overall of 24 Primary Weapons, 19 secondary weapons, 16 perks, 7 pieces of Equipment, and 3 special grenades. This will keep you busy trying to unlock all the weapons attachments and various camouflages. My dilemma is that they should have put in a more variety of weapons. Specifically more Assault rifles, Submachine guns, and Sniper rifles. while multiplayer can be fun, i want to enjoy it a lot more than i actually can. and the persons fault for this is other people. If someone finds good weapon they will exploit its every stat, until it becomes a weapon that everyone will use and the balance of gameplay falls. A example of this weapons is the UMP .45 submachine gun. I have been sniped, and killed with this weapon too many times to count and i will refuse to use it. Its stats are better than most of the assault rifles and the ways that people abuse it are just pathetic. As "balanced" as the game developers stated that this game would be...its not. Killstreaks are the reason for this. as is the Spawning system this game has. If the opposite team gets the chance they will call down airstrike after airstrike and chopper after chopper and AC130 after AC130 till it gets to the point where i can not spawn and live for ten seconds until being spawn killed. the "deathstreaks" suck because if they are getting spawn killed, well it doesnt really help them at all. Then you will find the players who cant be patient and have to hack their way into the game so that they can get all the emblems and titles to their profile. and they will Tenth Prestige Hack to get those. making the Legitimate players who have gotten those ranks themselves feel like their time was wasted. And since Infinity Ward made over one billion dollars in revenue. and since they had to get more money for god knows why, you would have to pay 15 dollars to get the map packs. so all together the game and the map packs would be almost 100 dollars....really? BF BC2 lets you have free map packs to most players. Overall i enjoy the multiplayer with my friends but not alone, the thing people would do to get kills are pathetic to say the least. Also i hate it when i get to play online a a little child is scream cuss words in my ears. Its RATED M FOR A REASON. MATURE PLAYERS ONLY! is that so hard to get around parents mind? but i guess if parents need to get it so that they can shut there child up and not discipline them, whatever. As a whole i enjoy this game to a limit. I would recommend to a friend, but also warn them as well.

It is a tough game to master, but it presents interesting scenarios where war-like situations are recreated. If you enjoy some stress with your fun, this game is for you. Intense, fast paced and challenging.

This is a great game. It's my favorite in the COD series and I recommend it for any COD fan!

The game is fun, don't get me wrong, but I get bored with it. I find Treyarch's World At War to be a better Call of Duty. This game just sits on my shelf. Looking forward to Black Ops.

I bought it for my son..... and he says its awesome.......... priced better than even a used one @ game stop!! The shipping time was longer than it should take although.

This game was purchased for my son. He used the first one so much it didn't work anymore,LOL :). No problems with purchase.

It is a pretty good game, nice story, I love Spec Ops really challenging, Multilayer is great...Besides the hackers. When Call of Duty came out, everybody thought it was going to be the greatest game of all time and stuff. Everybody hacks the best game there is. Just like Counter Strike was the best game for PC, they hacked it. But besides those people that has jtag or rapid fire controllers the game would be very good.

Well, when I first got this game I was really excited to play it. I had heard it was a really fun game, I had read professional reviews who all gave it a really good rating, and I agreed with them for a little while. I really enjoyed the campaign; it was fast-paced, fun, gruesome, and well written but it was far too short. Then there was Spec Ops. Spec Ops is a very fun thing to do with your friends and family. They give you a challenge and something to shoot for. I think Infinity Wards major mistake was relying on the multiplayer as the main (basically only) selling point of the game. The multiplayer can be fun, but it is usually full of people using grenade launchers, akimbo shotguns, and unrealistic accuracy. The multiplayer has been destroyed by modders, noobs, boosters, and crazy killstreak rewards. Many of the maps aren't very good to say the least and the downloadable content maps are even worse and a waste of 15 dollars. I also remember that one of the things I didn't like about Halo was all the kids who were 11 and under that tried to be as annoying as possible; well these kids have stopped playing Halo and now flood Modern Warfare 2. It's just I don't tend to have much fun while playing online even if I do the best in the lobby. But I have found that it is mostly safe to return to Halo now that all the little kids are gone. Many people flood the multiplayer and completely overuse grenade launchers, rocket launchers, and shotguns. This game is also full of bugs that Infinity Ward refuses to fix (if they even pay attention to complaints) One other thing that ticked me off was the fact that you couldn't talk in party chat in most of the games. I know that the idea was to force people to work together but people hardly ever work together and usually only play objective games for easy kills. Maybe you want to talk to friends playing a different game, ever think of that Infinity Ward? Well, this game comes with a great campaign and some good features but so does dating a stipper, and is that ever fun? No, because it comes with lots of downsides. An okay game but just not one of the COD gods such as COD 4 and 5.

fun gsme it was my first call of duty game great graphics and i would recommend to any call of duty fan!
