Game of the Year is finally here!!
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was an extremely popular game, with great singleplayer and multiplayer, so it was no surprise when Modern Warfare 2 was announced.
It is straight continuation of the first Modern Warfare and it doesn't disappoint. The graphics are great, with alot of detail going into the many locations on the game, but not just the general enivironment that you would expect, but some smaller things which aren't always noticeable such as much detail added to every room you enter in the game aswell.
The gunplay is brilliant, with an incredible amount of different guns to choose from, with plenty of attachments added. When you shoot enemies they die in realistic and different ways and the enemy AI is great, as they will try to flank the player and use the environment to their advantage.
The single player is short, which is a downsde to the game, but it is what the campaign contains which is what makes it brilliant. Throughout the campaign it will differ from jet ski chases, boat chases, intense shootouts or even some missions where you get to use mounted guns on vehicles, such as the minigun. It also has clever plot twists added to make the game that much better
Multiplayer has to be the best ever made. It has a great leveling system, with even more experience points able to gain from each match. There is an excellent amount of maps to choose from, some from the single player campaign but some others that weren't but are a great environment to play in. There is a huge amount of guns, with the many attachments being gained from completing the set challenges for each weapon. Also this time there are alot more killstreaks, 15 in total, and add alot more fun to the play. There are also new deathstreaks added to help you out if you are not doing so well in a game. The amount of game modes have increased, with modes such as team deathmatch, free for all, domination and others still in it from Call of Duty 4, but now their are new game modes including demolition and the new third person mode.
There is also a completely new experience added to Modern Warfare 2. Spec Ops Mode. In this mode you can go solo, or team up with a friend, to complete different challenges such as elimination challenges etc. For each difficulty you can get a certain amount of stars, such as regular you only get one star, hardened you get two, and on veteran you get all three stars. The missions are split up into five different sections; Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta and Echo and get harder as you progress.
Overall Modern Warfare 2, in my opinion, is the best game ever made!
Good Points: Great Single Player Campaign, New and exciting Spec Ops Mode, Amazing Multiplayer, Good Graphics, Brilliant Gunplay, Smart Enemy AI, Excellent Amount of Weapons, Incredible Chase Sequences, Outstanding Design of Great Selection of Locations, Great Presentation.
Bad Points: Campaign is Short.
