Modern Warfare 2:Good,but not Apple pie Good.
The campaign is short and sweet.Lets face it,you know you got it for the online experience and so did the rest of the world;which is why the length of the campaign was not such a bad problem.The campaign offered great intense moments like any other shoot em up' game should.It had the right feel to it and not to mention the sweet ass graphics.HD is a must for this game!I couldn't help but feel that Infinity Ward wanted to star me in a movie where all I can do is kick ass or die.Some moments I was saying to myself "What bullshit!.That would never happen." Yet,those were the moments that were the most exciting and fun to play.The campaign is fun and even better if you play Call of Duty 4 right before it.It has an interesting story and semi-interesting sub plots.Bottom line,its fun to play!
The multilayer is what everybody couldn't wait to get there newby little paws on.But again,if you were expecting COD4 then you were dead wrong.MW2s online is very different from the past Call of Dutys.New killstreaks,perks,guns and maps,all that good stuff is still there,just improved.But the minor tweaks made to it,in a way,made it feel a little "un-Call of Duty like." For Instance, being able to steal enemy killstreaks through airdrop crates that you didn't earn.Or driving a chopper into the spawn of the enemy.That may sound fun (ok,its's very fun) but it takes away from that old Call of Duty feel,which maybe IW might have been going for.Nevertheless,MW2 has a very fun and decent multilplayer.The maps are great,the guns are great and the new equipment feature demolishes grenade spam.ONCE AND FOR ALL.Prestige mode is still there and so are challenges.Infact, prestige mode brings more challenges.From getting the game winning kill with a throwing knife to sticking an enemy with a semtex (sticky grenade.)The challenges are fun and will have you up all night trying to get the very last one.The Multiplayer is great and will be around for a very long time.At least until the next Modern Warfare installment is released.Modern Warfare 2 is a great game but it was missing something.It's still very fun but it ain't no apple pie.
