Ummm….. to say
that the latest Call of Duty game
rocks would be a vast
understatement. The sequel to Call
of Duty’s first present-time game;
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is Call
of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It’s an
excellent title. That’s the first
and foremost thing you need to know
about the game. It brings the
intensity of the Call of Duty
franchise and places it right in the
middle of our world and even our
soil.
The first Modern
Warfare was nice. The people at
Infinity Ward distinctly made it
into a separate franchise from the
World War II games. It was
impressive with a unique story,
better visuals, and an amazing
score. Modern Warfare 2 builds on
that even more. The visuals in this
game are incredible. It’s the
brightest looking Call of Duty game
ever made and you have to admire all
of the attention taken by the
developers into every tiny detail.
Whether that’s in Brazil,
Afghanistan or in any of the other
areas you’ll be blown away with the
graphics of this game. Possibly just
as much as the first time you turned
on your Xbox 360 or your Playstation
3. Not only are the visuals
impressive in this game, but the
sound is perhaps the best on any FPS
game ever. Guns were recorded,
chatter between enemies and your
team is crazy to listen to and
playing in Dolby Digital when you
can be surrounded by the sound is
the best way to experience an
immersive experience such as this.
The single-player
campaign mode on Modern Warfare 2 is
a little short and while the visuals
and audio are both outstanding the
story line that’s set up is a little
bare. It can be hard to follow if
you’re really not paying attention.
For me at times it was like watching
The Hunt for Red October when I was
8… I didn’t really understand what
was going on all the time. The
single player campaign comes in at
6-7 hours for the normal gamer to
get through, but that's forgivable
due to a new mode. The Spec. Ops
mode. In the Spec Ops, you play with
a partner or by yourself completing
various missions and objectives-
they're just not set up with a
story. The mode is addictive and
fun, and will breathe new life into
every Call of Duty game made from
here on out.
The multiplayer
mode on Modern Warfare 2 is amazing
as well. It’s really better than a
game that’s specifically made for
multiplayer action like Quake Wars.
The visuals in multi-player still
look damn good- which is saying
something. And the amount of
strategy that can be taken across
the board with the game is
unmatched.
Call of Duty:
Modern Warfare 2 is easily the best
Call of Duty game ever made and
that’s saying something because the
franchise has five or six solid
titles in a row.
Epic
visuals and audio make the gameplay
experience amazing. The story could
have been set up a little better,
but it’s still immersive.
The
multi-player modes including the new
Spec Ops mode are addictive and add
days to how long you can play this
game. Modern Warfare 2 is the best
shooter ever made. Bring clean
pants, bring medication to calm you
down, whatever you need to cope when
you get overly-excited is what
you’re going to need with this
title.
