![]() November Games on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/XĬall of Duty Modern Warfare 2 review: Multiplayer Overall, the campaign finished on a strong note and set up an exciting sequel with a familiar adversary! This led to some top-notch banter between Soap and Ghost that had me in splits every time! As a fan of the classic Modern Warfare trilogy, Ghost being a central figure of the campaign - dare I say even more than Captain Price - made me giddy like my high school self. The game also gives us the option to interact with them through RPG-like conversations during some missions. It builds on the legends of characters like Captain Price and Soap that rekindled my childhood reverence for them. Infinity Ward plays on that nostalgia with a campaign that loosely follows the same events. There is a thrilling stealth-focused mission in the latter half of the game that elevated the whole campaign in my opinion.Īt this point, most gamers should be familiar with the events of the previous Modern Warfare 2 that earned it a cult status in the gaming sphere. Furthermore, the emphasis on stealth in some missions was refreshing to see. The levels also included different paths for stealth and assault. However, halfway through it NPCs finally took the backseat and gave me the freedom to approach levels as I pleased. Such missions nearly made me completely give up on the campaign. It is one of the first longer missions of the game and I would have much rather been part of the action with the squad. There was also a mission that puts players in control of an aircraft bomber to assist the squad on the ground. Being stuck behind NPCs in narrow corridors or pushing them through doors to get to the checkpoint marred the early hours of my playthrough. ![]() I just felt like a lackey in these parts, watching NPCs doing exciting stuff like enemy takedowns, riding dirt bikes, and so on. During the first few hours of Modern Warfare 2's campaign - which took me about 8 hours to complete - I was extremely bored. It tries to establish the characters with introductory missions that barely last minutes and offer the stale Call of Duty formula of following an NPC and clearing enemy waves. The “globe-trotting” single-player adventure starts off on shaky legs. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 review: Campaign Recent updates have seemed to improve the situation, however, the crashes are still frequent. Notably, it occurs more frequently while playing the campaign than multiplayer. Modern Warfare 2 also crashes a lot! I have experienced at least one or more crashes almost every time I booted up the game. The visuals do feel a bit disappointing considering that Activision is charging a premium price for this game.Ĭall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Sales Pass $1 Billion Within First 10 Days The game undeniably looks great, but it is nowhere near as visually stunning as other AAA releases - especially since the advent of next-gen consoles. My humble AMD Radeon RX570 8GB is able to handle Modern Warfare 2 on the highest Extreme graphics and constantly offers over 65fps with FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) 1.0 turned on. The game also runs smoothly and does not require a beastly build to handle it on high graphics settings. So, there should be enough to keep players engaged for a long time. The first Battle Pass is coming to the game on November 16 as well, with new weapons, operators, and more. There is plenty here for seasoned veterans and new players alike to try out and I am looking forward to sinking hundreds of hours into Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It also comes with signature multiplayer game modes - Domination, Kill Confirmed, Hard Point, Search and Destroy - along with new ones for the franchise like Invasion, Knockout, and Prisoner Rescue. Although following similar story beats to that of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009), this campaign is able to take you for a thrilling ride with new twists and turns keeping things interesting throughout. The game campaign sees the return of the iconic Task Force 141 with revered characters like Captain Price, John "Soap" MacTavish, Sergeant Kyle "Gaz" Garrick, and the cult-hero Ghost. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - released on October 28 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X - is a spiritual successor to its namesake from 2009.
