Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

When I first brought this game i couldnt have praised it more. This is mainly due to the fact that most people who got the game on release day play shooting games properly. Now that most people have it, I just find it a JOKE to call this a shooting game. Dont get me wrong if people played this game properly, like just after release it would be brilliant. Fact is i can count the deaths on 2 fingers that occur from being SHOT in each match. It seems that the only thing people use guns for is to attach a grenade launcher and then either use that, or knife people. This game is a brilliant game spoilt by people who wont play a shooting game properly. I prefer the good old days of the original xbox the home of the best online shooter ive played yet (Rainbow Six 3) for the simple reason you were only ranked by kill ratio and everyone was friendly, yet on COD: MW2 there has rarely been a match where i havent had insults thrown at me and a friend for no reason whatsoever. Also COD is simply a cheater heaven where their so obsessed with their rank they will cheat so they can go up that extra level... CLEVER YOU!!! Funny thing is since Rainbow Six 3, the best shooter ive played was a call of duty, call of duty 3. All i hear is it getting slagged off yet that game i never ran into nasty people and i always had fun because it was FUN and SIMPLE, with no complicated ranking system, weapon attachments or stupid perks, which i think are just glorified power ups and something for people who just cant play shooting games. All in all fun shooters have dissapeared and in place we have to play rank orientated games full of cheats and nasty people.

With 95% of my deaths comming from grenades, grenade launchers or knifes its a JOKE to call this a shooting game. I give it 2 stars for the fact when i first got this game, it was brilliant until people brought this who quite simply are way too dedicated to ranking up.

First of all, the campain in this game lasts around 6 hours, which is far too short. While it lasts its a blast, however the story is ridiculously OTT and not very well explained. You will often be playing a mission and be wondering - why am I here/what am I doing? If you were to review the single player alone it would only be a 3/4 star game.

However, the single player is only a third of the game, and with the spec ops and online play, there is much more to see. These modes are excellent and give the game endless lasting appeal.

Online multiplayer is unbelievably addictive, tonnes of rewards, unlockables, etc, it will take over your life!!! Weapons and maps are far improved over COD4 and there is far less camping going on.

The multiplayer on this is worth the asking price alone, but I hope infinity ward do not neglect the plot and duration of the campaign mode again in the sequel...

Multiplayer is a horrid campy affair thanks to the random package drops that they have included for some insane reason. It is now possible to camp and get 4 easy kills, collect an airdrop and hey presto... it contains an armoured helicopter. this just breeds camping and has took what made COD4 MP so special away from the game.

Search and destroy now contains harriers, helicopters etc... which makes it near impossible to disarm a bomb when they are overhead... guess what.... this breeds camping.

COD4 MP was perfect, this is over the top and geeks and boosters love it.

COD4.... if it ain't broke... don't fix it.

Having played Call of Duty 4 non stop for 2 years I was very much looking forward to Modern Warfare 2. I enjoyed the single player game, the spec ops is excellent, but its in multiplayer where the hardcore gamers have been let down terribly, whoever designed the maps is an idiot, every map is perfect for those gamers with little talent and who like to camp, if you move you die and that sickens me, so if hiding in corners is your thing, you'll love Modern Warfare 2, thanks Infinity Ward for ruining what should have been a great game.

i have every single COD game out there for the 360 and quite frankly this one sucked. Yes the campain was good but it was also short, spec ops is no where near as good as nazi zombies and onine play is just well ridiculous.

Now im not just saying this because im doing bad on multiplayer, infact i have a 1.7 K/D and prestige 1 but im saying it so you wont be let down.

The online system includes:-

Age range-starts at 5 quite litterally

Abuse- party chat is not allowed in majority of game modes, causing players in some cases aving to unplug there mics just so they dont have to listen to RACIST and other types of abuse.

Tactics- You now have a whole load of new kill streaks that you can choose from but people either boost for them in a match or they camp.
Another common set-up is the commando perk and lightweight perk which mean someone can sprint around the map at the speed of light and and jump towards you with a knife like superman, its just not realistic and not cod.

Cheats-There is alot of ingame boosters that i have seen, a couple of people have mentioned about this already on other reviews. People letting the other player get kills for a nuke(25 kills streak) either for some pathetic emblem that they dont deserve or for w/l. Also there are people who have hacked the game so they can somehow go into a match and get one kill for one prestige, and i know this from various sites showing you and the amount of messages i get from recent players asking if you if you would like to do it for money (i report them and nothing happens). Although few there are mods out there that modify there health, damage etc so be warned.

That pretty much concluded my review on COD and one more thing the new map pack is coming out yes it has 5 maps (2 of which they had to do no work for) i think but 1200 MP is extortionate price considering 10 quid for 5 maps when you pay about 30-40 quid for the game which includes a campaign, spec ops and loads of maps. But hey this review isnt about the new maps its about COD not being up to expectations and standars. If you ask me COD 3 was the best, it was just so much fun nobody played for k/d, then WAW was also great fun but nowhere near as good as COD3
