Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Playstation 3

I received my game from the UPS man today at 11:30 MST and after a few chores, I was able to get up and play. I popped the game in and of course I had to go through 2 updates, 1 system (3.01) and 1 game update (1.01). I wasn't sure what the updates were for, nor did I care; I just wanted to start playing the game. After the quick updates I was on my way. I beat the first Modern Warfare in about 5 or 6 hours and it was a great game with high replay value. I definitely anticipate the single player to be as great in MW2 as it was in the first MW. I immediately went into multiplayer and have been playing for about an hour and I tell you, it is fantastic. I loved everything about the multiplayer in part 1. Of course it wasn't perfect, but it was and still is the best multi-player game in my opinion... Until now... I play a lot of MP games (Team fortress 2, Counter Strike, etc) and I play those every now and then but I always went back to Modern Warfare. I still played it heavily until today. It will forever be out of my ps3 and will be replaced by its big brother MW2. I know I'm talking a lot about MW part 1 because I have spent days and days playing the MP (as many of you have) and its still not boring to me. The most annoying thing about playing MW1 was losing the match 20 seconds in because the host left the game. Lemme tell you, Infinity Ward listened because there's none of that BS anymore... kinda. When you lose the host for whatever reason, it will pick another host instead of calling the game a loss and you can continue from where you started. I LOVE THIS! it's not perfect by any means because you can still get kicked out of the match because the computer cannot find a suitable host (happened twice to me in an hour, about 10 games). Nonetheless it is a fantastic "feature" which was missing from the first game. That was the first big thing that I noticed because it happened to me in the first match and I was like "wtf" and when I put 2 and 2 together, I knew this was worth buying the game alone... it doesn't end there... Multiplayer has the same controls as the original and many many many many many things that are just a little better.Graphics seem more polished and I imagine they would be since the game is 2 years older now. The sound is superb. If you're treading through water, snow, or grass, you could hear it like you were walking through it in real life. Same thing goes with walking up and down stairs, on roofs, etc. Of course the weapons sound great but I'm not too fond of the character dialog (i.e. "cover me im reloading" "GRENAAAAADAAAAAA" etc). The best thing about the Multiplayer has to be the new perks and killstreak rewards. I only had a 5 kill streak which allowed me to launch a missile. You have a computer case that you open up and it breaks into a screen that shows the missiles view and you can control where you want it to land. Enemies show up as red squares and you obviously aim for those squares. There are many more killstreak rewards,up to 25, and that launches a nuclear bomb to kill everyone in the game. There's also the little things..... you can break most glass windows ( i don't want to say all because I didnt try every window and I don't want someone to point out that there's one that you cant break). I'm not sure if you can throw grenades through a window but I will be trying it. You have rewards for every level including unlocking different types of banners for your profile picture and of course weapon upgrades and perks for your soldier. The maps are pretty good too... Out of the 10 matches I have played the same map maybe 2 or 3 matches which isn't bad. Of course there are maps you're not going to like and I think I have 1 or 2 already. Enough about me yapping about the game. I recommend it to everyone that loves online shooters. In the past hour I told my friends to go pick it up and they obliged.. time to continue our team deathmatch dominance. This is pretty much a review so people that are hesitant or just wanting a little more information on the best aspect of the game. If you have any questions, let me know and I'll try to answer. P.S. I know the game has been out for a couple days in certain areas, but there are already level 70's and people in prestige mode.

I got MW2 and MW3 almost at the same time and have played several online days for each game, mostly FFA and TDM matches. I am surprised that MW2 feels so much better than MW3 (for online games only): 1) MW2 promotes different styles of play that may fit different players: you can win matches with different styles of play with different skills: a good aimer with quick reaction can run-and-gun with an assault rifle or SMG; a not-so-good aimer with quick reaction can run-and-gun with a noob-tube; a player with slow reaction can be a good stealth player (e.g. a camper who moves around in a stealth manner) with silencer; not to mention the snipers with quick-scope often win FRR matches. 2) MW2 weapons and perks are balanced: ARs, machine guns, sub machine guns, and sniper rifles can all be good in different situations and with different skills. Different combinations of perks are also fun to try for different styles. Some examples are marathon+lightweight+steady aim, marathon+lightweight+ninja, marathon+lightweight+commando, scavenger+stopping power+ninja, scavenger+stopping power + steady aim, etc. 3) People complain about things in this game like over-powering weapons and perks. The complaints are mostly not true (probably from anger and lack of understanding of the game). For any weapon and perk to be considered over-power, it must have advantage over other options over a match. I will assume we play FFA and list why some common complaints are not true: (1) Quick-scope is too strong. This is a gaming technique that everyone can use. If one thinks it is too strong, (s)he should learn and use it. (2) Noob-tube is too strong. Noob-tube is good for mid to long range targets. It almost always loses out in close encounter. Also the effect of the explosion depends on the objects on the ground: in many cases, the tube is not as effective as a gun (e.g. for people hiding behind an object). These are some of the reasons why it is not the weapon of choices for most seasoned players. This weapon does allow newbies to get some kills, which is good for the game. When I just played the game, this was the only weapon that can get me kills:-). (3) Commando pro is too strong. This is a strange perception. This perk is only useful for stabbing people. How many players can win matches by mainly stabbing (it would take a real skill to win a FFA match by mostly stabbing people)? (4) Claymore is too strong. For the claymore to be effective, one must stay alive for a long time, which means that he has to camp a lot. This game is designed such that campers cannot win because they have less opportunity to see and kill enemies. This counters the effectiveness of claymore. (5) Campers ruin the game. You may get angry when your kill-streak is ended by a "camper". But a true camper who stays in a place for too long cannot win any FFA match. Once the position is revealed, MW2 gives many reliable ways to kill the camper. To know other player's position while not revealing your own is the basic skill to win firefights in this game (mini-map, sound, hot resprawn spots, etc), a good player often appears to be camping to hide his position while you are approaching :-). Cheater/hacker and the connection issue is a problem in this game. There are cheater/hackers: some seem to see through the wall; some use sniper rifles like machine guns (a skill or hack?); some people seem always able to point their guns in the right spot (a skill or hack?); some people cannot be killed no matter what. Connection can be bad from time to time. One will probably get this in two out of ten games. Overall most of the games are playable and played by honest players. I usually just quit the game when I feel there is a cheater in the group. MW3 and MW2 have similar weapons, perks, and kill streak rewards. But the minor changes (as well as its maps) in MW3 are significant enough to discourage all other styles of play but run-and-gun. There is only one type of players who can win the match in MW3: run-and-gunners with quick reaction and good aim. All of the maps are similar. The play style for all of the maps is just run-and-gun. It gets old after a while. I am sad to see that few people are now on the MW2 server due to its age. I now play MW2 almost exclusively, and will probably continue to play until nobody is on the server or when I master all kinds of play styles in this game.

Modern Warfare 2 is simply fun and interesting. The game prides itself on having numerous and expansive multiplayer options. Since none of the options are listed up here I shall detail a few here. (all modes collect experience points) OffLine Local Player There are 9 modes here with support for up to 4 players per PS3 system. All of the perks and even unlockables carried over from online multiplayer can be carried over here. Essentially this is an experience that all will enjoy. LAN LAN support is available too with support for up to 18 players (1 per console) All modes of online multiplayer are supported Online The experience reserved for just one player per PS3 system but up to 18 players online. There are over 14 different games types (with two types set in the third person perspective). The main thrill of MW2 is this mode and will surely keep people coming back for more. With a release date amount of players exceeding more than 250,000 players online, this mode will never be empty anytime soon. The addition and expansion of killstreaks (using additional weapons) is a great addition. Special Ops (offline (2 per console), online 2 people), an expansive co-op experience that is separate from that of the single player game. Estimated time appears to have taken me longer than the 5 or so hour single player mode. Anyway, without spoiling the story, the game is essentially as great and dramatic as the story mode and gameplay in the single player mode. Single Player: Features a campaign that appears to continue from the first Modern Warfare though I never played it and the stage has been set up well. It is a bit hard to follow at times but the action of fighting terrorist who somehow invade the USA and other places around the world is fun and a great extension on reality (fighting also takes place right in northern VA). Mechanics wise, the game features easy to learn First Person shooter controls with multiple types, there seems to be over 60+ different weapons, some with different modes, area of effect special weapons (like an airstrike missle). AI that seems to still survive after shooting them in the legs and whom will keep firing at you, tons of militia combatants, amazing graphics (bloodsplatter is a nice addition but gets annoying at times when combined with smoke grenades, the area of vision is essentially null. This game isnt the best looking game on the PS3 but it surely is in the top tier of PS3 and great graphic titles. Hans Zimmer compositions are perfect for the game and the soundtrack moving/emotional to match the atmosphere, voice actors are on par and not too over the top (McTaverish has an amazing voice actor), the cutscenes during the loading screens are amazing at capturing the mission brief, and some of the flyovers during the game are amazing at showing the scope of the devastation of modern warfare. Needless to say, if you have friends and/or looking for a game to keep you hooked to multiplayer then this is it. If you just want something for a single player experience, I would suggest renting the game since the campaign mode can essentially be beat in just an afternoon setting.

I am not a big multi-player guy. (saying that means that I have actually never played multi-player on my computer games.)So this review is on the campaign mode of the great Call Of Duty 6 - MW2. My computer spec. first of all are pretty decent which will effect the game play. Vista Ultimate, 1gb graphics card, 8gb RAM, 2.83ghz possessor and a 24" Widescreen 1920x1200 computer screen. Okay one of the biggest points that this game has in my opinion over any other is its graphics. Razor sharp and highly detailed this looks almost like a real life, real time movie. so you will need good graphics/possessor/lot of RAM and at least 1920x1080 to take advantage of this games power. This game cost $60 for a reason and in my opinion it is worth it for the amount of work put in it. Oh and get some good speakers while you are at it because the amount and quality of the sound effects is astounding. They say 80 percent of of video is audio and they were not joking here. A quick note to fellow PC users. This game is powered by STEAM. Good news is that you don't need the DVD after installation to play. Bad news is (at least for me) if you have no internet connection none of your progress will be saved. But you can still play, so if you beat the whole game it does not really matter. VERY IMPORTANT! The game will freeze at the beginning. Go to the support website and it will tell you to update your sound and video graphics cards. I did so and it still froze on opening for about 40 seconds after which it played fine. Annoying yes, but live with it. Okay that takes care of the look of the game. On to the actual campaign. Story wise it is complicated though not imposable to follow. It makes you pay attention to every detail in game play and out just to follow what is happening. Be patient because things do fit in place. After I played through the game 3 times there were something that had me confused. So I went on Wikipedia and it had a great summery on what happens. And i honestly understand everything now. But I recommend you play the game through first before running to the web for an answer. The weapons on this game are AWESOME take every gun on MW1 and tons more, make them all ten times cooler and you've got Modern Warefare 2! You can have a tactical shield that is ten times more realistic and then the Counter Strike one. You can have a shot gun under your Assault Rifle which there are a lot of different ones. You can have duel pistols and submachine guns. You get a Glock 18!!! (for all you "gun people" out there you know what I am talking about.) And there are loads and loads more! Everything is more improved basically/ From the Night Vision to the Enemy AI. I read a lot of reviews saying that the Computer bots AI was so advanced and that it was so hard to play. And I got scared that it was too hard to play. Well it is defiantly hard and you will die a lot. But it is hard in a good way. There is always a way to win, you just need to work for it. Not much else to say except this is one of the best games out there. Don't let the price scare you. Because this time you get what you pay for! . Just a quick message to all you gamers out there - this game is addicting so make sure to remember to take a few breaks and step outside. Sounds stupid I know, but you will enjoy it a lot more and it is healthy which is not a bad thing either. Enjoy

At long last, her is the game I have been salivating for. Of course with expectations as high as they are for this game, the potential for dissapointment is equally high. So does MW2 deliver? Well, it does but I would be trying to hide the sky with my thumb if I didn't address some issues that keep me from giving this game 5 stars. Graphics - Playing the original Modern Warfare, I remember thinking that graphics couldn't get any better. Some of that assessment has a lot to do with the fact that it was one of the first games I played on my then-brand-new PS3 and was just discovering the new generation's graphical potential. However, the game looked awsome. So I was pleasantly surprised by the upgrade in this area. The game looks so much better. Colors, detail, smoothness... It is just plain better. There some moments where there is simply too much going on and you will encounter some chop but nothing significant. Gameplay - Here is where the game displays some shotcomings. There really is nothing new here. Controls and mechanics are exactly the same as the last game. It does not have to mean that is a bad thing but one can expect Activision to at least try something new. In that regard there is a new feature in some parts of story mode where you breach doors or walls and going in, everything slows down (like in the movies). I thought it was pretty cool but others might not like it. The action is pretty intense and gives you even more of a sense of being in the middle of it all. This is where the previous game truly shone and it remains so. The areas you play are vast and varied. For my money the gem in the game is the scenes that take place in the United States. The suburban setting in Virginia and the war zone in Washington D.C. took my breath away. The attention to detail was amazing. It was really fun(and scary) to avoind enemy fire by taking cover in fast food restaurants and gas stations. The D.C. scene is just as incredible as it looked in the commercial. I give Activision big kudos for thinking outside the box on this one. Many might find such things contrversial or downright offensive but when you come dowright to it it is a game and if you are going for realistic, the ultimate reality of war is that there are no rules. Story - In MW I thought the story mode was too short so you can imagine what I think of it now! I am married with kids and responsabilities and even I was able to play through this one three (short) sittings. I can understand that many people pick up this game for the online content, which id generally where the most replay value is but I think Activision can do a much better job here, especially considering the storyline which to say the least is a bit convulted. There was really more than enough in the story to warrant a longer game. The storyline was a little hard to follow and it is difficult for the player to immerse himself in the game. This has a lot to do with the fact you play as several characters in the game and two of them die in the process. Focusing on one character would go a long way in improving this. On the flip side, the story tries to play the, well, modern aspeccts of warfare and politics in that there really is no absolute good or evil and the game is constantly treading in a gray area. This game features a particular chapter that you can choose to skip called "No russian". I'm not going to go into detail here as I don't want to ruin anyone's experience but yes, the scene can be a bit disturbing at first but it plays right into the themes I was talking about before. It plays very much like a movie and it helps the player get into the game which is, in my opinion one of the places the game is lacking. Special Ops - New feature were you complete several objectives and get a star grading based on you performence. Some of these are played online with a friend. I am really enjoying playing this feature. The main reason being this: Those who have played this game series know the incredible night/day difference between playing story mode vs. playing online. I find Special Ops to be somewhere in the middle. If you need a good primer before heading into the frontline hell that is mutliplayer, this is perfect. You can improve your skills without going through the humiliation of being completely destroyed or being used for point fodder in multiplayer. Because the objectives in Special Ops are time and point-based, you get to develop you speed and reflexes to a level decent enough to be competent in "the real world". If this was available when I played MW1 it would have saved me a lot of frustration. Multiplayer/Online - This is the reason most people play this game. my brother for example hasn't played a minute in story mode but lord knows what his ranking is online. I don't want to know. MW2 features all that made the previous one great and adds a ton of stuff in the form of bonuses. I am yet to get a grip on it all as virtually anything you do in this mode earns you XP. The areas are huge and there is plenty of hiding, ambush and surprise places to keep you busy till rapture. Of course, the quality of the gameplay depends mostly on who is playing with you. This new version will become the standard in online console fps just as Modern Warfare was when it came out.Hopefully someone will figure out how to let XBL players battle PSN players. Now that would be a war! Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is an awsome game but its engine and premise are starting to show their age. A new installment will probably require a complete and total re-make but as it stands, one could argue that you can't find a more complete, engaging or powerful gameplay experience in a console fps on PS3. Although the established fan base of this title will virtually guarantee it's success I highly recommended it.

Just like its most recent predecessors, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: World at War , the campaign portion of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is a really fun game with extremely intense battle sequences. The downfall is that it's very very short. So let me start by saying that if you're not set up to, or you just don't intend to, play the online co-op or multiplayer modes, you really want to think twice before paying full price for this game. Single players either need to rent this or wait for an inexpensive used copy to go on sale. So you get three game options: Special Ops (online isn't necessary, but at least two players are required for some of the missions), Multiplayer (designed to be played online; this is no fun split-screen with a max of 4 players), and the single player Campaign that took me less than 6 hours to finish. In single player Campaign mode, you're a first person shooter (soldier) on the frontlines, and this time the frontlines aren't limited to overseas territories. Primarily you're playing separate, interlacing missions all over the world as two different characters. The story takes place several years after CoD 4 ended. And just as in CoD 4 you're with a team of characters that are truly your band of Artificial Intelligence brothers. On easier settings the AI soldiers can do practically all of the work for you on some missions; the help you might get from your team is based on the difficulty setting you've chosen. So unless you want to just glide through the game, definitely don't pick the Recruit difficulty (the other difficulty options are Regular, Hardened and Vet). I could take away a star from the overall score of this game for how short the single player mode is, but I won't....All of a sudden it's not so short when you go back and try to play on the Vet setting and spend the time looking for all of the Intel items. You arrive in single player boot camp just like in all of the previous CoDs, and you get a brief tutorial on how to maneuver around, shoot your weapons & throw grenades. After boot camp you get to choose the difficulty setting, then you're immediately strewn into various battles. (Once you've completed the game on any setting you can go back to various chapters to clean up any items or trophies missed, and at the start of each chapter you can choose to attempt on the higher difficulties.) You fight your way through some intense chapters....really intense. In fact, when you first start off, there's even a warning that you'll be in for some VERY disturbing sequences, and you have the option to tell the game to skip "offensive material". Ummm...no thanks. I think that this is the first game that I've played that offers the option to censor itself if you choose the option. The story is a bit choppy at times, but the battles are wild. The graphics are out of this world, and some of the "familiar territory" scenes will just blow you away with how much it really looks like your own back yard. The weapons are plentiful and sophisticated. You're shooting whichever modern-day weapon you happen to have picked up along your objective route. Objectives that guide you along are updated regularly as you complete each task throughout each chapter. And some of those tasks are brutal. There are frequent checkpoints (I think I remember even reaching new checkpoints without firing a single shot) in the campaign, so no need to worry about respawning back before what seemed to take an eternity to complete. On the other hand.... ....There is the Special Ops portion of the game. I think that there are 23 different missions for you here, and you can play each one by trying to earn 1, 2 or 3 stars in each mission. Some of these are darn hard, especially the final 3-star unlocks. You will be frustrated by playing some of these a few times before you beat the levels to earn your stars. And there are no checkpoints in these missions, so if you fail in the final moments of a mission, you start over from the beginning of that mission. Special Ops is most fun with a partner. It's best online so that you get to play full screen, but if you have a guest over you can play split screen offline. For all you World at War players looking for Zombies, you're out of luck here. You get Special Ops instead. There was a silly rumor that MW2 would have an "Alien Invaders" mode that would rival the Zombie mode of WaW, but that indeed was just a silly rumor. Online Multiplayer is where you'll get addicted. No AI brothers here...just your fellow gamers. You'd better have your FPS skills honed if you think that you'll score better than some of the MW2 online players. A very high percentage of the online players have been honing their skills online for years now with CoD4 and World at War. The concept with Multiplayer is certainly not new. The more you play, the higher you rank allowing you to unlock more (fine tuned) weapons. The game sets you up in matches with people at your level and rank, but that ain't gonna help you if you're new (you will be fondly referred to as a noob by your swell fellow online players) and you're up against the CoD4 or WaW vets. What makes MW2 Multiplayer more than just a new map pack for CoD4 is that the Multiplayer weapons and perk system are vastly improved. And so is connectivity (so it seems in the initial week of play after a few day one and two glitches). You get 10 times the amount of points for the kills and captures that you're used to getting only 5 or 10 points for in CoD4 and WaW. You also now get points for not just killing and capturing, but for taking out enemy air support, coming back from deathstreaks, killing your nemesis, breaking an enemy's streak and other stuff. Yeah, Multiplayer is good fun, habitual and bad for a marriage. So all in all Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is major fun. The only drawbacks to this awesome game are that the campaign is really short and the multiplayer action is a bit familiar. But the MW2 Multiplayer improvements over its predecessors far out weigh the familiarity. Modern Warfare 2 is a must for FPS fans. Add it to your cart, soldier!

This game has to be my favorite of all time! The one disappointment that most people have is that the campaign is too short, checking in at approximately 4.5-5 hours. However, in those 5 hours, the players will experience a game that pushes the limit and is quite controversial. Gamers will play with a variety of characters, including Soap, Roach, Allen, and Ramirez. As the player, you will follow the story of Task Force 141 and the Army Rangers in the events occurring 5 years after the end of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The story has an epic ending, and it does leave room for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (speculation of course, but it does have an easy opening for the next game by Infinity Ward). One reason people believe the campaign was so short was due to the inclusion of Spec Ops, a game mode which consists of independent missions similar in design to the "Mile High Club" epilogue mission from Call of Duty 4. These missions take place in a variety of locations from the campaign mode, but are not related to story of the campaign itself. Most of the Special Ops missions may be played alone, but all of them support two player cooperative play in which two players can play together locally or online. Such mode includes scenarios such as a snowmobile race between the two players, one player providing air support from an AC-130 with the other player conducting operations on the ground, capturing an enemy compound, and searching areas for and eliminating 40 or more enemies at a time. Special Ops is divided into five separate groups of missions: Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, and Echo. Each mission may be played at three difficulty levels: regular, hardened, or veteran. Successfully completing a mission earns the players stars; there are up to three stars available for each mission: one star for completing the mission on regular difficulty, two for hardened, and three for veteran. Once enough stars are earned, more missions are unlocked. There are a total of 23 missions with their respective 69 stars available for unlock. At the end of each mission, a statistics screen displays how long the player(s) took in order to complete the level and how many kills were scored by each player, amongst other data. The online multiplayer mode of Modern Warfare 2 retains the same experience points and unlockable reward system as that of Call of Duty 4, with game modes that include Free-For-All, Search & Destroy, Demolition, Domination, Team Deathmatch, and Capture The Flag. However, Modern Warfare 2 introduces several new features. Aside from new weapons, equipment, and perks that upgrade to "pro versions" after meeting utilization requirements, 15 different kill streak rewards can be unlocked and selected by the player. Overall, YOU MUST BUY THIS GAME!!!

Modern Warfare 2 had some big shoes to fill after the stunning success of MW1. Infinity Ward could have easily messed this game up by changing the formula that made MW1 so much fun. Rest assured that is not the case. They took the funnest feature of the original (online multiplayer) and enhanced it with bigger/better locations, more challenging and deep rank/reward system, and a host of new challenges, accolades, etc. to strive for. This makes the multiplayer all the more addictive, and makes the game a must have IMO. The single player campaign mode is back, and its short and easy, just like MW1. Don't buy this game for the single player mode, you'll be dissapointed. Its not that the gameplay is bad or the story is boring, its just too short. But if you're like me, the real reason for buying this game is the multiplayer. A new mode was introduced in MW2 = special ops. It can be played single player or split screen, but is most fun when played with a friend. Special ops has a number of short-medium length missions that challenge you to clear a set of objectives in the shortest time possible. This could be anything from running through a course, defending a base from waves of enemies, or clearing an area of all enemies. Special ops is a lot of fun, and adds some replay value to MW2 if you tire of the multiplayer action. Everything else about MW2 is solid. Graphics, sound effects, simple menu layouts, fast load times... all the things we take for granted are well done here. The weapon and perk choices have been enhanced. There is a good selection covering a wide range of equipment, from shotguns to sniper rifles, uzis to LMGs, you'll find something you like. Although with the new rank system, it will take a bit longer to get the top-level weapons. But be patient and enjoy the ride. That's what MW2 is all about. Each game you play gets you a bit closer to that weapon or perk you've had your eye on. This is what makes the game so addictive and keeps you coming back for more. I highly recommend this game for anyone remotely interested in first person shooters.

The best Call of Duty ever. Its just so clean and plays so smoothly. I just wish they remaster this game for the next gen consoles
