Customer Reviews

An all-rounder
This game (although very expensive to buy) is very very good. Graphics are amazing, the storyline is captivating -especially the heart-renching scene near the end. I am not a person who buys a game and then times how long it takes me to finish it, and so the length of the campaign was not too much of a problem. However I do agree that after such a long wait, some more levels could have been included.
The multiplayer side of this game is the main reason I bought it, having played on World at War and Modern Warfare (original). I absolutley love playing along side my friends or against them - no other game offers such a wide range of opportunities for social gaming online and this is why it has become such a phenomenom. Although there is a lot to get your head round if you have never played call of duty, after a while you will get used to it. The new perks system is better, and the kill streak and death streak perks being customisable is a great new feature. The new maps are good fun and offer a range from large scale to close quarter combat I especially like the different terrain included like snow- However it is a shame that some maps seem to come up more than others - Rust for example I have only played once out of atleast 100 games.
Overall I would reccomend this game to anyone who enjoys competition in a game, I would reccomend if you are new to Call of Duty, to set up a Private match and practice how to use the movement/visual cameras with the sticks, and how to shoot/aim in a multiplayer environment.

Modern Warfare 2
OK. After buying this product ICall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360) have finally completed my evaluation of MW2. The graphics are phenomenal showing infinity wards efforts to create a game to blow you out of the water. Also the game play in the campain is astronomically strong, the contrast between environments puts forth the power and metal strength needed to survive on the battle field. The overall inpact this game will have on you is breathtaking, and totally lives up to COD4s storyline and plot. I would give this 10/10 for graphics and suspense created by the Campain.

Now for the main part, the multi player. MW2 has a lot to live up to, after COD4s fast action multi player hit the world and left it in awe. I do love some of the features they have added like the perks, guns, most attachments, game modes and killstreaks. But i feel they have gone one step to far. Many players of the Call of Duty series enjoy strategical fast action scenarios. But infinity ward has fallen prey to the overconfident and commercial values of our modern day consumer needs. Basically it's to "noob" friendly. It's to easy to kill, therefore to easy to die and ends up leaving you feeling cheated.

Overall I give this game a 8.5/10. The extraordinary graphics, attention to detail and realism makes this game immense. But the "wish" made by infinity ward to suit to all audiences has left this game "soulless" and commercialised.

I would still recommend this game. But be wary its not a true replacement to Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare.

If you wish to buy this game, and you are a die hard Call of duty rusher. You will have to adjust. So be aware, your game play will change dramatically.

Modern Gaming!
A great sequel to Modern Warfare, the Campaign (single player mode) has an exciting storyline, more weapons (predator drones, heat sensitive scopes), more support from colleagues in the field of play and a great balance in terms of out and out destruction and hide and seek combat. The controversial part of the game that everyone is that in one of the early scenes you play an undercover operative that has infiltrated a terrorist group and are party to killing civilians and police in an airport. The important part of that last sentence is GAME, its not real, but if you feel that you might become a terrorist or want to start killing civilians after playing this then its probably not for you and you might need some therapy. The enjoyment I got from the single player mode was immense, like the previous version you switch between a US Ranger and a British SAS commando. Coming back to complete the game on higher difficulties adds to the longevity. The multi-player part of the game is awesome, the only bugs are trying to join a game can sometimes be difficult and that the game doesn't let you conduct an Xbox party when playing Xbox live. This is frustrating when you have a group of friends trying to sort out a strategy and some 8 year old is raping your ears with all kinds of spurious dirge. There is an all new feature as well in the game called Special Ops. In this mode you are given a set task to complete (such as killing 40 enemies while protecting a base) with 3 levels of difficulty which are rewarded with stars.
To sum it up, there nothing particularly different here - its pretty much been done before in COD4 but what they do have is a very solid game that's incredibly enjoyable and well worth the purchase.
