Modern Warfare 2 Review

The expectations for this game were probably higher then any other game ever! Some people looked for the story to be more amazing then COD 4's and others (like Myself) were looking for alot more to be added on to the multiplayer. Now if you wanted a better story I can say it is good but it doesnt have the same effect as the first Modern Warfare. This one is more about the action and excitement compared to the first which led up to it and surprised you with a big epic moment! I still like the story alot but others may not.

On the other hand, the wasn't much more than what I expected! Everything is great and will keep you playing for a very long time, but they're are only minor upgrades. That's not a bad thing at all, but some of the other gameplay turned me away somewhat. The perks are the biggest change. In the first Modern Warfare the perks weren't able to make you nearly unstoppable. You can add the Ninja perk where you cant be detected by UAV's and Marathon where you can run non stop. That causes people to run around the map and stab people and get 20-30 kills. It really turns the game off to people like me, who just like the fact that it takes skill to find a weapon you like and kill the other person better than they can you. That is only my opinion though and I'm sure that there are people who won't mind. It won't stop me from playing the multiplayer completely though. There are things that I love. Like the Kill Streaks are customizable now. So you can have a Sentry Gun, AC 130, and even a Nuke that ends the match completely. Its pretty cool and helps players feel more unique. One thing I can say isn't fair is the "No Party Chat" option. I dont like talking to other players because of the crazy/crude things they say. I would rather just not deal with it and talk to the friends I'm playing with. Other than that though, the multiplayer is probably the best one out there and you shouldn't pass it up.

Last but not least is the Special Op's mode. They are short and straight to the point missions either solo or Co-op with a bud. It reminds me of Rainbow Six: Vegas Terrorist hunt or Gears of War's 2 Horde modes. They are very fun and add a lot to extend how long you were going to play this game anyways. In a nut shell, this is probably one of the best games ever for the 360 and PS3 Gen. This game is clearly a shining diamond and should be tried out be everyone. :
