Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

The most anticipated first-person shooter game this year, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has been released almost a week ago. I've played the game myself and completed its campaign last two days. Below is my short review.




Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is a 3D first-person shooter game developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision released for Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It is the sixth installment of Activision's Call of Duty series.

Modern Warfare 2 is the direct sequel to 2007's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Modern Warfare 2 takes place 5 years after the events of Modern Warfare in the campaign. It retains some of the main characters in Call of Duty 4, including Captain Price, 'Soap' Mactavish and Nikolai as well as new characters. The game's plot is amazing and most fans would love it. However, the game's campaign is quite short and even shorter than Call of Duty 4. You may finished the campaign in just 5 to 7 hours. Still, it has a great story to tell (play it and you'll know).

The game has really good graphics.  The game utilizes the in-house IW 4.0 game engine, which is claimed to be a generation beyond the capabilities of the engine used in Call of Duty 4. The game is very detailed, having high resolution textures and good lighting. Character's animation also very fluid and believable. AI is much better in this game compared to Call od Duty 4. The game's sound effects is good and the music score is really great. Characters' voices are narrated nicely too. Overall, the graphics and sounds does make the game alive perfectly. The gameplay is very awesome and its similar to Call of Duty 4. You'll be able to access various real-world customized weapons of many types like sidearms, rifles, machine guns, shot guns, sniper rifles, rocket launchers, grenades, C4s, claymores and even able to control Predator drones. The game controls are easy and familiar like other similar games too.

Overall, I would recommend this game to all first-person shooter gamers.
