Rating: 9.2
Reviewing Call of Duty games is hard, just because of the size of each game. All of the COD games have many modes, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. With Modern Warfare 2, this is defiantly true. Let's start with multiplayer.
In the multiplayer mode, you can play one of three ways: split screen, online, or LAN party. In the online mode, there are many modes you can play in, such as team deathmatch, free-for-all, and search and destroy. Each has its own unique characteristics. Speaking to the multiplayer in general, the control over classes that you have is good, and the maps are decently designed, but the unlock system needs work, as does the size of maps. The maps on MW2 are too small, and the unlock system is too easy. All you need to do is get a few kills and you have a new gun. The guns come to easily, and are too powerful. Over all, the multiplayer is good, but needs work.
The next mode we will talk about is the campaign mode. In the campaign, you play as many different characters, and never for long on one. The campaign revolves around a war started by the mission No Russian, in which you go under cover to kill Vladimir Makarov, a contract killer with a hatred for the US. In the mission, you go into an airport with Makarov and his men to kill all of the civilians in the airport. In the end of the level, you are about to get into a truck to escape with Makarov when he shoots you and leaves your body to be found by the Russian authorities, thus causing a war with the US. I enjoyed the campaign mode, but I was disappointed with the end, as you are fighting to kill Makarov, but it is never done. The campaign is good, but again, lacks polish.
The last mode I will tell about is the Spec Ops mode. In Spec Ops, you have many different missions to choose from, in the categories Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, ranging from shooting at wooden targets to fighting 15 juggernauts on an oil rig. The levels can also be customized in difficulty by turning up or down the difficulty. The difficulties that can be chosen from are Regular, Hardened, and Veteran. Spec Ops is my favorite mode on MW2, and it is amazing. It has the polish that other modes lack.
So, I gave this game a 9.2 because the game over all is good, good graphics, good weapons, ect., but it lacks polish. The game is one of the best selling FPS games of all time for obvious reasons, and it is worth the $60.00 I payed for it new even now that I have Black Ops. So, if you want to buy a COD game, consider Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.
