Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
I’ve had Modern Warfare 2 since shortly after the release date a few ago and I have since completed it. I have to say that it is by far the best in the series so far. I haven’t been able to play the multiplayer as much as I would like due to a poor Internet connection, but the single player was brilliant.
Firstly, I played it on regular difficulty, as I expected, it was particularly challenging. I then started it again on veteran. It was in this second play-through that I tried to find all of the intelligence items and pick up the achievements that I missed the first time around. I found it to be a lot more challenging but still doable. Eventually, after about 7 hours I had completed it again. It is a shame that it isn’t possible to player the campaign cooperatively, I enjoy playing coop gaming. That is why I played the majority of the Special Ops missions on coop. It took us a long time but we finally completed all of them.
Once we got through the first few easy ones it started to take us more and more attempts to get past each one. Fortunately they don’t have to be done in order so occasionally we would skip one and come back to it. After a couple of weekends we had done all but one. Snatch and Grab, I don’t know why this was so annoying for us to complete but we must have spent 8-10 hours on it over a couple of days before we finally completed it.
By this point, I already have every other achievement in the game except for the ones for completing Spec Ops so this got me my 1000 gamer score.
I have tried to play the multiplayer through the lag we get here and it is very good. I am up to about level 19 or so, mostly playing Team Death match. I would prefer it if the weapon unlocks were a little more frequent but I suppose that they have to spread them out over about 60 levels. There isn’t much new it the multiplayer, but that doesn’t matter because it is still just as good as it always has been. The new features don’t take away from the game and if anything, improve it. Such as the boosts for death streaks and the choice of bonuses for kill steaks.
On the whole it is a very good game, Infinity Ward have made an excellent sequel to Modern Warfare and I hope that they continue to make such good games in the future.
