So far every edition of the Call Of Duty franchise has delivered breathtaking and state of the art game-play. The one drawback of the series has been its constant and increasingly annoying return to the World War II era. In came Infinity Ward who rewrote the entire game and in 2007 released what in my own opinion is the best first person multi player shooter ever created, until now that is. Their newest offering Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 not only replaces its predecessor but improves upon almost every detail in the original version. It has been two years in development and is the most hyped and controversial game out this year. The biggest question is – Is it worth the bother?
The game has three modes – the single player campaign, the incredible multi player and new for this edition the co-op spec-ops mode. Throughout the game-play on any of the modes you will see the small refinements and tweaks that have been made to improve on what was already an amazing game. To start with the single player mode feels like you are playing through an action film, taking on the role of the hero fighting for every millimetre of ground. The single player mode is quite short but extremely exciting and exhilarating nonetheless. Let’s face it though most people will not be buying this game for the single player mode. So let’s get talking about that multi player mode.
In this edition there are two online modes - Standard multi player and spec-ops. Firstly, spec-ops is not just online you can also play offline with a friend. It consists of you pairing up and tackling various missions together having to co-operate to complete the mission. Now onto the incredible multi player that makes a triumphant return with a whole host of insane goodies. Graphics have been increased an insane amount with terrain and atmospheric details being improved immensely. The new perks are insane and there is a new weapon added that adds an excellent way to kill your opponents (throwing knives for those of you who don’t know!).
To be frank this game is all about its multi player mode. If it did not have multi player this game would be no where near as successful as it has become. Modern warfare 2 is in my personal opinion the must have game of this year and next year. You can get it at Argos for £29.59 where you can save £5 on a controller, you can also get this at Game but it works out a bit more expensive at £34.99. Get the PC version of this game at Amazon for £29.70. Get it now and start gaining those perks. See you online!!!! |
