“Stay Frosty” – A review of COD: Modern Warfare 2
by Oak Tree on Nov.11, 2009, under Gaming
Okay now that I have blood shot eyes after 2 straight days of gaming, it might be time to write my review of this game. Infinity Ward and Activision have done what they do best. Two years after the release of COD4 they have decided to make a follow up to one of the greatest games made for any console. Not since Bungie released Halo in 2001 have so many gamers loved one franchise as much as they have this one. COD4:MW was pure bliss and the Multi-player was amazing to most gamers out there. There was only one major complaint of the original and that was that there was no co-op in any aspect of the game. Now after a brief history of the game lets go to the review. PURE EYE CANDY!! This game is a great continuation of the original. This series of games is one of the few that my palms sweat while I am playing because it is so intense. This the only game I have ever heard of that allowed you to skip a mission because it might be too disturbing. Let me list just a few things you get to do: Drive a snowmobile, ice climb, drive a boat, a couple of sniper missions, and siege a castle. The campaign is brilliant and it is great fighting through Washington DC. The A.I. soldiers fighting belong side you aren’t much help at all. The A.I. shooting at you, however, are usually pretty difficult depending on the mission. The sound as usual is crisp and well timed. The new addition to the game is the Co-op Spec Ops mode. You and a friend can play through several challenges to earn stars and unlock more challenges. These include sniping missions, Snowmobile races, bomb disarming, and several other styles of games. These games can also be played Solo. The only real problem I have with this game is the lack of Co-op Campaign. The Spec Ops option is cool, but it isn’t the same.
- High quality graphics and sound
- Very-high replay value
- Great control system
- Great story line with a twist
9.5/10
Time for some more gamin’ folks, later!! Oh and Happy Veterans day!!
