Call of duty 6: Modern Warfare 2 review

Genre: First person shooter

Developer: Infinity Ward

Platform: PC, PS3, Xbox 360

Gameplay: Modern warfare 2 is the 2nd installment to Call of Duty: modern warfare. Player plays as multiple characters like Gary "Roach" Sanderson, Joseph Allen, James Ramirez and "Soap" MacTavish who was the main character in the previous version of Call of duty: modern warfare. Gamplay is almost the same as the Modern warfare whereby player have to complete task given to them. Example of task would be planting explosive charges on enemy installation, defend a place or to arrive at a particular position.

GamePlot: Modern Warfare 2 is set 5 years after modern warfare whereby Vladimir Makarov, one of Zakhaev former lieutenants begins a campaign to "destroy" europe with acts of terrorism. Player plays as Joseph Allen at the start at Afghanistan to fight against a city of militants. Soon later, he was sent for an undercover mission under the alias Alexei Borodin to get close to Makarov. He then joins Makarov in an massacre of civilians at fictional Zakhaev International Airport in Moscow. However, Makarov knows of his true identity, kills him and expose Allen identity before leaving the scene to pin the "crime" on him. More of the story can be found on Wikipedia.

Opinions: In my opinion, Modern Warfare 2 is better than Modern warfare. This time, there are more "cooler" actions/things to do like driving the snow mobile, and the speedboat. Players get to speed down a steep slope with a snow mobile while taking down enemies who were chasing. Moments like these makes the game more exciting and enjoyable. Also, the moment of killing of lots of civilians would probably turn on people who loves "killing" in the game. But then also there are people who may get turn off by it since its against their "morals". Though completing the missions and objectives may give a sense of accomplishment, however moments of betrayal and such will probably piss off many players. There is a mission whereby players have to defend very hard while the laptop is transferring the information. After which when the player passes the information to the general, he got betrayed with a bullet from the general. Moments like this may piss off players because they fought so hard to complete that "mission" just to get shot in the face. The last "bad" point I feel about the game is the duration. There is only about 5 hours of game play which I think is pretty short for an awesome game like this. If there was more game play and storyline to account for what happens to Makarov or to "Soap", it would have been better. But then again with these parts missing, I assume that there will be another sequel to Modern Warfare to account for these missing parts.

Graphics: Great. In my opinion, it's better than the Modern Warfare. I guess it's due to their game engine which is said to be far better than the one used in Modern Warfare.

Overall: 8/10 in my opinion.
