Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360, 2009)

While Modern Warfare 2 may depict the harsh reality of urban conflict, Activision chose the penthouse suite of one of London's swankiest hotels to give us a final hands-on with the game. While the irony may have been lost on the publisher, the demo at least gave us the chance to see a brand-new level from the single-player game, as well as play an objective-based co-op level from the Special Ops mode. During this time, developer Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling answered our questions about multiplayer progression, cinematic influences, and using the game's Special Edition night-vision goggles for nefarious means.

The single-player demo took place at the end of the game's first act. You're on the hunt for an arms dealer, and after finding some marked shell casings, you're led to the dealer's right-hand man in Rio de Janeiro. The level opens as you're tailing a van. The van stops, and the dealer's confidant murders everyone in it. He then opens fire on your van--killing the driver as you and Soap MacTavish jump out and start a chase. We watched as Bowling ran after the suspect and then took him down by shooting him in the leg, allowing you and MacTavish to take him in for questioning.

After a short break, you take the victim to a quiet location, where MacTavish and a member of his squadron start interrogating him--using electricity "convince" him to talk. While MacTavish extracts the information he requires, he gives you instructions on where to head to find the man in charge of the operation. You enter Rio's slum with the Christ the Redeemer statue overlooking it, and you encounter resistance from the arms dealer's militia. The problem is that the slum is also populated with civilians, and Bowling would periodically fire into the air to make them disperse.

The slum section was a classic Call of Duty set piece, with a seemingly endless supply of thugs to dispatch as you progress. The difference was in small details--your character will knock out an old clip using the new one when using certain weapons, and when you're injured, blood fills the screen more than it did before. This was a ferocious section filled with rocket-launcher fire and dog attacks, and it came to a head when MacTavish dived out of a window to catch the subject.

Alongside the single-player story and competitive multiplayer, there will be a third option in MW2's main menu: the Special Ops mode. This section offers around 25 co-op scenarios, which can be played by one or two people either locally or online. Bowling gave us an introduction to the mode, playing a level that took place at a house in a remote location. The mission was to pick off 40 enemies in as short a time as possible. He started off with the sniper rifle--pushing the left stick in to hold his breath and then firing into the skulls of far-away assailants. He then moved into the house, planting claymore traps for enemies who chased him, and he then took out a few more enemies that were taking refuge there. He then knifed out the windows and took up a new sniper position, and he was able to spot enemies by looking out for reflections of light in sniper rifle scopes. By the time he'd finished--about five minutes later--he'd taken out all 40 people without dying, including the heavily armed Juggernauts, which appear only in the Special Ops mode and take three sniper rifle shots or more to kill.

This looks like a great game, cant wait until November 11th!

this is the best 1st person shooter game to hit the market since call of duty 4 its prequil game of the year again !!!!!!!!!

Everything is OK! The video game it´s perfect, the quality and the video game experience is better than I expect. The delivery time is according that the supplier says.

The single player story for Modern Warfare 2 is absolutely stunning. Infinity Ward has kept true to their style of game development by once again making sure you never leave first person view. I enjoy cinematic scenes, but the level of intensity that you get throughout the campaign whilst always being in first person view is great. Modern Warfare 2 is a direct sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and picks up right where Call of Duty 4 left off. Modern Warfare 2 adds a lot more to the campaign than Infinity Ward’s last title, including graphics as well as unique missions that you should definitely experience for yourself. The graphics in Modern Warfare 2 are the best I have seen so far in a Call of Duty game while keeping it smooth with a constant 60 frames per second. The detail of the environments and the character models are beautiful. Some of the scenes throughout the campaign are really breathtaking as they are action packed, and keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time. To add to that, there are many surprises and twists throughout the game that no one will see coming, making this story an amazing action packed thriller. Although the campaign is amazing, it was fairly brief, lasting around 6-8 hours depending on the difficulty. And speaking of difficulty, I would add that the game was a lot easier on Veteran than any of the other Call of Duty games.
Now for the good stuff; multiplayer. Multiplayer for Call of Duty 4 is mostly what made it so popular and in Modern Warfare 2 it gets even better. The addition of many killstreaks and having the ability to customize which ones you want ,with a max of 3 available at once, is where this game’s multiplayer action really differs from Call of Duty 4. Even in objective modes like Search and Destroy, you can gain killstreaks throughout the course of many rounds, granted you don’t die at the end of the round. And if you try using you stealth class from Call of Duty 4 or World at War in this game you might not be safe with the addition of Heartbeat sensors as an attachment to certain weapons which detect movement. Of course there is a perk to counter that though. Many perks from Call of Duty 4 have been made into attachments or equipment. There are many additions to the game that will really let you personalize your class to your liking, much more so than the previous Call of Duty games. I saw a lot of people running around with many different class setups instead of seeing everyone with the same 5 as in the other games. You can now unlock titles and emblems for yourself that show up in game. Modern Warfare 2 has added more modes as well. Here are the new additions to the game:

Demolition – Attack & Defend two bombsites (Similar to Sabotage with full re-spawns)
3rd Person Teams – Third Person Perspective with Team Deathmatch, Domination, CTF and Demoliton
Hardcore Ricochet Search and Destroy – Hardcore S&D where friendly fire will kill you
3rd Person Cage Match – 1v1 Deathmatch in Third Person
The added guns to the game are also cool, and the models for them are extremely detailed. With all the additions to multiplayer, it can take a little getting used to but is extremely fun.

OVERALL 10
A MUST BUY AND WILL BE ON EVERYONES CHRISTMAS LIST
RATED M (MATURE)

Probabally the best game I have played. It is even better than its previous title Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. This game is a 10 out of 10 and I highly reccomend getting it.

It was what I was looking to buy at a reasonable price,(buy now) and then this seller shipped item very fast.

he lied about the shipping and time of arrival for the product I ordered, which was a video game. the shipping time put there was 5 to 7 days, this was a lie hiden in the description on a seperate page it said "i will ship 4 days after release date which was in an longer amount of time. so he wouldn,t even ship it untill
12 days after he shoul of. do not buy from this seller.

Awsome game! Now can can you give me the game or we are gonna call ebay or something.Pleassssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssse

After 10 days of the release date and the item still hadn't been shipped, it got a little suspicious, but then when I went to look at the product it showed that the seller was no longer a registered user. It has just been an awful transaction.

Love this game, huge maps with alot of fighting areas! Highly recomend this game, as good or better than World at War.

the game is pretty but i like a challenge. there are more places to hide better than the 1st one. the story mode is more harder than the first one.

Fast paced, great graphics, tweaked for the better. I couldn't be more happy. Five stars hands down.

The product reached me within 3 days of being released. Quick shipping, plus the product came exactly as described. Much appreciation, would definitely buy from ebayer again.

This is one of the best action game i have ever played(and i have played all). If you like Resident Evil 5 then you will love this game. I would give this game 9.8 out of 10. If it was little longer then i would probably give it a 10(it's about 6 hour long)

This is really a Hot Shooter Game, Wonderful Graphics, Just like being in a movie,Great Story Lines, Lot's of fun to play.
This is the Top Selling Video game to date, in my opion!

This game is so good it's almost like cheating on your woman! lol Unless you play multiplayer, then it is like inviting your woman to play too! lol

This game has it all, intense fun multiplayer online, a fun campaign. Although I didn't like it at first I do now love and enjoy it. Those who played Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and then played Call of Duty: World at War have probably noticed but in time you'll get the hang of it. The spec op's missions are pretty fun as well. All and all I would recommend this game to anyone. A solid 5/5.
