Cod4 modern warfare 2 review
The feeling of constant progress through the unlockables worked well in the previous two Call of Duty games, and with the addition of titles and badges there is an even greater amount of content to unlock. The part that will probably suck you in the most is the constant immediate gratification as there is always one more challenge to accomplishment, another level to reach, another game mode or weapon to unlock. Though I spent quite a bit of time dying, it never got to me since I was always right back into the action after a brief spawn time and back to killing. The multiplayer offers a chaotic, fast paced experience which feels much like a meat grinder. With an addictive leveling system and new game types one could easily spend months playing MW2 multiplayer alone. The multi-player is the real winner in terms of length. They are rather fun missions, and with their addition, the single player campaign component of the game should move up to 12-16 hours, which is still short compared to many other games, but does clock in at longer than the average big name shooter that seems to come out these days. It wasn't part of the main story, but was rather a side mission that was detached. The best way to describe them is to compare them with the Mile High mission at the end of MW1. While Spec Ops doesn't fit in with the main story line, they are a set of 23 seperate missions which can be played solo for the most part or in co-op. While 8 hours is short, and the length of games in general has been getting shorter than I feel is acceptable, the addition of the Spec Ops missions vastly increases the length of the single player experience. Thanks to the in game stats clock I could see the campaign clocked in at around 8 hours for me, but then again I am a notoriously slow gamer.
The biggest complaint on the technical side of the game has been the length of the campaign, which I will admit is rather short, though it took me quite a bit longer than most people have said. And is it just me or does Ghost sound and act exactly like Gaz? The re-recorded gun effects sound great, and the voice acting is top notch as always with many returning actors from before.
#COD4 MODERN WARFARE 2 REVIEW FULL#
The game is full of awe-inspiring moments during the fighting where I would stop to take in the beauty, my favorite of which came during the battle for D.C.
The game has great sound, and the visuals are some of the best I've ever seen. Once one jumps into the game the technical improvements will be immediately visible. Modern Warfare 2, while an amazing game that does make strides forward, loses a bit of its soul in the process and falls slightly short of what one could expect.
#COD4 MODERN WARFARE 2 REVIEW SERIES#
With a history of leaping advances in the series both technically and artistically Infinity Ward has not only set a high standard in terms of the game made, but also the game expected next.
It was a vast improvement from the previous installation(CoD 3), much like CoD 2 had done after the birth of series in the first Call of Duty game. The first Modern Warfare game was unquestionably a blockbuster smash hit, with record sales for the time and really bringing the Call of Duty series into the limelight of shooters along side games such as Halo. It is a great game, and a great Call of Duty game, but doesn't feel like it stepped forward in all the ways one could hope from what previous games have done. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 makes a lot of great advances in both the shooter genre and Call of Duty franchise, but at the same time loses a bit of what made Call of Duty, well, Call of Duty.
