Ok, so since it has now been out for several months, it is time to tell you what I really think of Modern Warfare 2. Now, remember that I was a die-hard fan of the first Modern Warfare game. I think that Call of Duty 4, Modern Warfare was the most intense shooters of all time. I have played many, many hours of that game on Xbox live. So, with that in mind, I was right there in the front line when Modern Warfare 2 went on sale. I got it in the first wave, and so have been playing it ever since it came out. I am a huge fan of these games, and here is what I think about Modern Warfare 2 when it is stacked up against previous Call of Duty titles.

Well, to begin with, this game has a lot better graphics than Call of Duty 4 did. This is to be expected, but they are a lot better, making for a cleaner, more realistic playing environment. They are also more streamlined, and movement is not so fuzzy. I really like the graphics of the game. Firing the weapons is fun, seeing explosions is awesome, and visually, this game has it all in the bag.

As far as the multiplayer goes, to me, that is what makes this game awesome. Playing multiplayer on this game is an intense, incredibly fun experience. Now, having said that, it is different from the first Modern Warfare in one major way. It is a lot easier to get kills in this game than in that one. There are so many ways that make it easier to score kills, that it really makes it hard to stay alive sometimes! So, what you will end up realizing is that your level of skill in this game is not going to play as big a part as your level of cooperation with your teammates. This is a very team centered game, meaning that if your team works together better you will win, even against players who are more skilled than you are.

The weapons are great. They are a mix of familiar firearms from Call of Duty 4, plus a library of new ones to choose from. But, gun selection is not so important in this game, as any weapon will do the job for you. There are, for example, guns that are better at long or short range than others, but they are all potent. This game is also laid out a bit differently, making it possible for you to carry machine guns, shotguns, or even launchers as a secondary without needing a special perk to do so.
