    Played in 2021. Single campaign is alright, short and fun. Nothing special, but nothing horrible either. 2-3 nights of light joy.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is one of my favorite FPS games ever.

If you are not interested in multiplayer, then I can calm you down, because the campaign is amazing here. He has an excellent negative and many moments that have become one of the best in the COD series. One of the best locations we've ever seen in COD and a great story that builds on the previous Modern Warfare. Yes. Soap is back and it's even crazier than before. But it must be said that this is also perhaps the only minus of the game. The biggest change in this work compared to the previous ones is the action. The game won't let you breathe and it just has a fast pace that doesn't stop, and I've just thought that the game could take a bit, because my favorite mission in the series is the Chernobyl passage from Modern Warfare 1. You won't find such a slow mission here and each is full of exploding objects. It's a great change and after finishing it, you simply say wow ... it was a ride. But then you might also say that here and there it wanted to take away. That would somehow say my opinion on singleplayer and now I would move on to multiplayer, which was perhaps the best here. Great maps. The map Terminal was etched in my head. All the prestige and levels and maybe the best killstreaks we could see. For example, my favorite Chopper Gunner or Tactical Nuke are just legendary. An amazing game for me, which will appeal mainly to FPS players. I recommend.… Expand

    The story has way more hollywood wibe than previous instances, but if you're fine with that then you'll get a horrendously memorable story, horrendously good soundtrack and horrendously good variety of mission's that are all very tense. You'll finish the game in about 6 hours but I think that's a good sacrifice for it's quality

    The story is memorable and has great characters, even though it suffers from a few cliches, and the plothole in the "No Russian" mission, I enjoyed it the most out of all the Call of Duty games I've played.

    The multiplayer is pretty unbalanced, but it is still a good experience. The variety in weapons and class customization is impressive and alows multiple options. The maps are interesting, unique and fun to play, since you they are pretty open and you can take multiple routes. The different accents of announcers and languages of soldiers in the multiplayer for each faction also gives it authenticity.
    Special Ops is a side mode that was unique for Call of Duty in 2009. It may not be as replayable as Nazi Zombies from World at War, but every mission offered a different area and sometimes a different objective from one another. And it can be fun and annoying at the same time if you want to earn 3 stars on every mission.
    Overall, despite Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 having a few flaws here and there, is a purely fun and chaotic game to play.    … Expand

К сожалению продав 25 миллионов копий игры, Бобби Котик сошел с ума и уволив Зампеллу, обрек серию на стагнацию и потерю доверия.

    Но даже здесь немалая ложка дегтя присутствует, как известно коммьюнити в СoD не самое доброе, полное отсутствие выделенных серверов в паре с выбором античита ВАЛВ выглядел спорным и время это доказало. С не СУРС играми ВАЛВ античит беспомощен, на фоне доброй части игроков сие привело к читерской вакханалии, которая продолжается и по сей день. Не могу не добавить, что античит Триарч весьма крут и обеспечивает защиту.
    Так же можно отметить убранную карту Фавела, которую никто не стал исправлять, в угоду жалобе на религиозную надпись, а просто убрали. То есть поддержка у игры отсутствует, как класс. При конвейерном виде серии, это не удивительно.

    Possesses a completely hooking and immersive game play on the single player campaign, but falls short on its story line which was displayed annoyingly vague and generally impossible to understand.

    Singelplayer is still on way of first Modern Warfare, it`s even bigger with crazy ideas in gameplay with greater scenes and for me, one of the best shooter I`ve ever played.

    Modern Warfare 2 represents everything wrong with gaming. If you can pay to get a piece of excrement such as this reviewed to an average of 84 critic rating then that's got to tell you never to trust critic ratings ever again.
    They did not, however remember to pay me so I'll be honest. What a steaming pile.

    The single player campaign wasn't as long as Call of Duty 4's but was still amazing. It is hard to say which single player is better comparing mw2 to cod4 but the results would be pretty darn close. Special Ops was a nice edition, with enjoyable challenges and missions to complete. Multiplayer for this game was awesome but not as great as Call of Duty 4's multiplayer.

    MW2 was the beginning of the end for Call of Duty. This is when they stopped caring about PC gamers. This game is possibly the worst PC port I have ever played.

    Theres nothing more to say than that, other than that you should avoid it like the plague.

    Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. A little while back, I reviewed this game's prequel (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare), which I hated at first, but then loved the next time I played it. It was an insanely fun action game that must be experienced, in particular for its single player. Its multiplayer was good too, but I couldn't help but feel like it was missing something. Eventually, ICall of Duty Modern Warfare 2. A little while back, I reviewed this game's prequel (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare), which I hated at first, but then loved the next time I played it. It was an insanely fun action game that must be experienced, in particular for its single player. Its multiplayer was good too, but I couldn't help but feel like it was missing something. Eventually, I decided that I wanted to play its sequel, so I downloaded it off of Steam this weekend. So, does this game improve upon its predecessor enough to make me love it, or is Call of Duty 4 really the last good Call of Duty? Let's find out. The gameplay of this game is very similar to its predecessor. It is a first-person shooter that has both single player and multiplayer modes of play. There is also a cooperative gameplay mode this time around, but most of the missions in it are the same as those of the single player, just with one extra player. In Call of Duty 4, I preferred the single player over the multiplayer. I went back to play missions from the single player in Call of Duty 4 more times than I can count. This time however, it is the exact opposite. Here, I prefer the multiplayer over the single player. The single player in this game is a continuation that picks up five years after the events of the previous game, and it is insanely fun to play through, like just about all of the early Call of Duty campaigns. However, there are two major problems that hold this game's campaign back. For one thing, the campaign is once again too short. I completed it in only five hours. Another problem with this game's campaign is that its story is terrible. It is so convoluted and hard to follow, that I am always confused as to what is happening. That did not stop me from loving the campaign from start to finish, but that was only because it was insanely fun to play through, and not because of the story. As for the multiplayer, I feel like this is where all of the effort in making this game an amazing game went into. The multiplayer of this game is actually better than the single player this time around. Not only is this game's multiplayer better than Call of Duty 4's in every way, it is one of the best multiplayer games I have ever played. It really is that good. After playing this game's multiplayer enough, I finally realized what Call of Duty 4 was missing in its multiplayer. There were not enough different kill streak rewards, perks, weapons, and other features. To tell you the truth, after playing this game's multiplayer, I honestly felt like Call of Duty 4's multiplayer was just a beta version of this. This game's multiplayer is much more fleshed out, and it also added Capture the Flag, the one mode that I felt was missing from Call of Duty 4. Overall, the single player of this game may not be as good as Call of Duty 4's, but the multiplayer more than makes up for this. This game is worth playing for its multiplayer alone. As for the graphics, this game also looks fantastic. They are not the best graphics I have ever seen in a video game, but they do look very good nonetheless. This game pushes its engine to the limits of its graphical potential. All of the environments and character models are rich with detail and very pretty to look at. Overall, this game's graphics are every bit as awesome as its gameplay. This game also has really good presentation. On a high-end gaming PC, this game could look fantastic. However, there are some troubles with the endlessly respawning enemies in single player. I have never really had a problem with these in the past, however, this time I can't help but feel like there are too many. I honestly have had a lot of trouble dealing with this many enemies coming at me at once, and I did not have this trouble in any of the previous Call of Duties. However, this is just a minor complaint compared to how good the single player really is. Overall, this game has excellent presentation. Overall, this is a fantastic game, especially for multiplayer. What most people are wondering is if this game is better than the original Modern Warfare. I would say yes for the multiplayer, but no for the single player. The single player of this game is still really enjoyable, but not as enjoyable as the previous game's. I recommend this game especially to those who love a good first person shooter, action game, or multiplayer game.

In the graphical sense, it actually strikes a nice balance between graphics and performance, and has given it a reputation of being able to run on nearly anything.

The community is small but still bigger than Ghosts and the lobbies are thriving with players enjoying themselves on this game still. It's great to see.

    For all its problems, MW2 is still one of the most enjoyable and memorable multiplayer games ever created. If you love nostalgia and are fed up of what COD has become in recent outings; this game is an absolute must. I am still weary about hackers but old exploits and issues with the game are seriously outweighed by the general fun and slick performance.

    Ghosts and the new/fake IW created an absolute pitiful excuse of a COD game but MW2 still stands strides ahead in every department. I regret not buying this sooner and wasting so many hours on the latest dreadful installment. The old IW left behind a glorious legacy that simply has to be experienced once again. One of my best purchases in a long time.    … Expand

    I have a lot to say, but I'll talk about stuff that really matters.

    Pros:
    - Nice graphics, sounds and interface.
    - Funny, entertaining and very addictive multiplayer (without lags, hackers and ragers of course).
    - If you like camping, noob tubing, and using "noob" and "cheap" weapons and tactics (I have nothing against all those things to be honest), then this game is for you.
    - Maps are good.
    - You can't be banned by power hungry admin or votekicked by raging kids in lobbies (hacked ones don't count).
    - Developer console is available.

    Cons:
    - Cut content and leftovers. These things are not acceptable for commercial software. Create a content plan before making a game. It's more mature and you'll spend less money and time. For example, if you don't want players to kill ducks (ducks are cute), don't put ducks in your game in any stages of development.
    - Overpriced.
    - Additional maps are also overpriced.
    - Favela map is available for private lobby, but still not in the map rotation. It's a great map and it should return.
    - One of the worst gaming communities. Kids and "adults" whos vocabulary is limited to "lol noob your stupid you're mum (mom) lol" and who rage and cry over being "unfairly" killed.
    - Hackers and hacked lobbies.
    - No dedicated servers.
    - Steam only.
    - Infinity Ward and Activision don't bother to fix their game and don't care about players.
    - Clichéd and ridiculous singleplayer story. Just another "tacticool operators from US and Europe vs evil-doers from developing countries" nonsense.
    - Lags, errors and glitches are daily routine.
    - You can't lean.
    - Sometimes it takes forever to find a lobby.
    - Modding is possible, but most mods are hacks and sometimes custom textures.
    - Respawning enemies in singleplayer.
    - Health regeneration.
    - Unrealistic and incorrectly portrayed weapons.
    - No semi-auto fire mode on selective fire weapons, no usable bipods, laser sights and binoculars in multiplayer.
    - Shotguns (except KAC Masterkey) have unrealistic range and you can't hit anything beyond 20 meters or 65.6 feet.
    - Shotguns and "machine pistols" are secondary weapons.
    - No weapons (M1A1 Carbine), maps (Crossfire), and characters (MacMillan) from previous games.
    - No weapons from singleplayer (Springfield Armory Custom Professional 1911-A1, SVD and Winchester Model 1200).
    - Just like in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, almost no one bothers to shoot down enemy heli or AC-130, so you have to switch on your anti-aircraft loadout (class) or play with it often if you do care about teamwork.
    - Broken sound suppressors (Beretta 92SB, Heckler & Koch MG4 and M240B) and sights (Desert Eagle Mark XIX, Tavor TAR-21, FN F2000 and Heckler & Koch MG4). They should have been fixed years ago.
    - M240B (7.62x51 mm NATO/.308 Winchester) is less powerful than Steyr AUG variant (5.56x45 mm NATO/.223 Remington).
    - Russian version is absolutely horrible (thanks 1C).
    - Russian voices ("Бросаю стан-гранату", "Меняю обойму-магазин", "Он ещё дергАется") and texts ("Охотник утки", "Палата безграничности", "Толчок, чтобы открыться") in the original game make me (native Russian speaker) feel ashamed. Yes, my English is not perfect, but I think publishers like Activision can afford professional translators and voice-over artists if they care about their own product.
    - Poor chicks are trapped in cages. Put there hackers instead.

    Verdict: broken and half-finished game. Do not buy.    … Expand

    Nowadays, almost every PC server for this game and other COD games are hacked. It's horrible. Now, this game was decent when it cam out, but now, with some many hackers, it's really hard to enjoy. Your better off playing this on Xbox 360 or PS3. My score would have been 8/10... but hackers now... So, 5/10 for the time spent trying to find a normal server.

Lets begin with the campaign, pretty good, it had its awesome moments like the cod4 one did, although the story did seem a little confusing it was pretty good. Spec Ops it basically the Co-op version of the campaign that tries to be infinity wards answer to zombies but it isn't quite as memorable so I don't really need to get into much detail about it. But what I do need to get into much detail about is the multiplayer, because dear god do I have mixed feelings about it. First off the balance in the game is horrible, One man army noob tubes, danger close, commando, you name it. Secondly there are no dedicated servers and instead we get this crappy ass host based matchmaking system that was made for consoles and is a HUGE downgrade to cod4. Plus your FOV (field of view) is locked at a puny 65 degrees for both single player and multiplayer, I highly recommend an FOV changer cause you will feel like you are looking through a pair of goggles. Plus the game is FULL of hacked lobbies and some of them give you everything in the game and instantly bump you up to level 70 which decreases its replay value drastically. But there are also some good things about the game. More weapon variety, pro perks, new unlockables such as titles and emblems which increases the games replay-ability, and amazing maps such as Terminal, Rust, Highrise, Scrapyard, Skidrow and tons of other great maps. Oh and did I mention the killstreaks are fun as hell to use. Overall Modern Warfare 2 is a good game, but there are huge things that hold it back from fantastic and it is definitively an overrated game. But does that make it bad? No, no it does not. So I recommend you buy this game, you will definitively get some fun out of it. Just play it at your own risk cause sometimes its very rage inducing.… Expand

    Despite the plot is very good, the game is pathetic. Maps are made in this way, that when I played I felt like in a tube. Feeling of shooting is awful. Graphic is the same like in the prequel. It is worse than free-to-play game's. I think the first CoD's multiplayer was better, because there were vehicles. All in all is extremely horrible. I definitely don't recommend this game.

I'm willing to bet that most people are not even aware of that, Treyarch gives Infinity Ward a bad name. Infinity Wards games; "MW1" "MW2" "MW3" are far better than any of Treyarch's "Black ops series" hands down. I have been playing CoD since the very first release several years ago back in the WW2 era of CoD. Most people didn't even start playing until the first CoD 4 Modern Warfare came out, the overall feel of MW2 is great, the physics are great, graphics sound are great. I feel that the multiplayer is very well balanced online, if it ran like then maybe your pc isn't up to spec?..if you bash the game saying its unfair or unbalanced maybe you should switch up your tactics a bit instead of raging around looking for that kill?..I have never had any issues playing this online..I always had a blast.

    It comes as a total surprise to me that MW 2 is a bit disappointing. New twists at the end of the game were far fro enough to make up for a weak, predictable plot. Regarding campaign, it was so short that i finished it within only a couple of hours. However, I am still a fan of Infinity Ward and I enjoy playing Call Of Duty.

    Dull very dull. The game play is one of the worse I've ever seen offering at least on single player nothing but its couple hour story. The story is very bad nothing surprises or makes you even the least bit sad. Multipalyer is were all the money goes into but its no different from MW1 or MW3. If you must buy a Call of Duty game buy Black Ops 2.

    No dedicated servers....no leaning....no camping....no strategy....certain guns are just plain unrealistic...heavy machine guns are completely useless in this game....grenade launcher spammage=easy kills. Did I mention no dedicated servers? Meaning there are no mods for this game. There are no online communities. I don't even remember being able to choose the freaking map I wanted to playNo dedicated servers....no leaning....no camping....no strategy....certain guns are just plain unrealistic...heavy machine guns are completely useless in this game....grenade launcher spammage=easy kills. Did I mention no dedicated servers? Meaning there are no mods for this game. There are no online communities. I don't even remember being able to choose the freaking map I wanted to play on. You just enter a session and get randomly paired up with others for the next map in the mode. Bless the hackers....the only times I had fun with this game was when people hacked the servers and changed gravity settings and made everything badass like you could back in cod2. There is no skill required for multiplayer. You can run around like a cheetah and just 1 hit knife people without breaking a sweat....no aim required! What an utter piece of trash. This is unacceptable...multiplayer like this belongs on the consoles and only on the consoles. It's all about running forward and shooting the thing in front of you. The maps are so boring and predictable.....there's no chokepoints or strategy at all here. The only defense in this game is a good offense. The portable turret defenses are a joke and don't kill anything. The actual gun turrets you can man at certain points on the map are self pronounced death traps. You can turn them basically 15 degrees each direction.....making them absolutely useless unless the enemy is standing right infront of you. Plus they do terrible damage and require a warmup and cooldown? The hell?! Total crap. Any heavy machine guns in this game are crap. There's no cap on respawning....you just die respawn....die respawn. The respawn points are always changing...your team will be spawning on one side of the map the first few minutes then you and the enemy will switch spawn points. Spawn Killing has been eliminated completely with this....if you played cod2 NOT mw2 you will recall the brilliant moments where a team that was ruthlessly kicking arse would be rewarded by pinning down the opposition to a specific area and getting tons of kills. This is the worst pc 1st person shooter I have ever played. AVOID THIS AND ANY FUTURE COD TITLES! I went from cod lover to absolute hater. Cod2 I'd give a 9/10 so much fun. codmw2? 2/10… Expand

    8/10 CoD: MW2 is probably the most fun I had in a Call of Duty game and even FPS in general (singleplayer wise).
    While the campaign is pretty short it is really fun and exciting to play,

    I'd say one the best features of the campaign is the different surroundings and like I said the story-line itself.
    Also every Call of Duty game since MW2 is pretty much the same.
    It's not getting a full score because the story is short and linear.    … Expand

    I Have all cod games that are available for pc, including the new ghosts. But the best is the Mw2, cause of that unbelievable genius multiplayer. I have played so much games with my clan, that i will remember that game forever. But it's true u can't really play it anymore cause of that damn hackers everywhere.

    When playing this I thought, it took a genius to make this. The amazing story line, short, but amazing blew my mind. Every aspect of this game is wonderful. Graphics, gameplay, etc. The multiplayer is a little bumpy though, but everything else is wonderful!

    This is a solid game, but unfortunately its many annoyances detract from the experience. The single player experience is solid, but most of the game's problems lie in its multiplayer. The lack of dedicated servers is atrocious. You cannot pick maps, you have to manually search every time you want to play and the lag at times can be unbearable. The cheap knife kills also frustrate meThis is a solid game, but unfortunately its many annoyances detract from the experience.

The cheap knife kills also frustrate me greatly and many of the perks are annoying and stupid. The lack of dedicated servers also means you'll encounter cheaters from time to time as well. Its a shame there are so many problems because the multiplayer experience had the potential to be great. Most of the maps are quite good and the gun mechanics are sound. It just goes to show that lots of little issues can really cripple a game.… Expand

    DONT BUY THIS HACKED PIECE OF SH1T. 85% You will end up playing with subhumans. No wonder the sells were good when 1 out of 3 had to buy an new copy to cheat. Buy COD4 or World at War. At least there you wont be put into an position where you bend over and take it like a little b1tch.

    The PC version of Modern Warfare 2 is identical to the console versions in almost every way, and that's actually the problem. PC gamers have a certain expectation for online shooters. Removing dedicated server and user mod support from a game that's already $10 more than its predecessor seriously hinders the long term appeal for me.

    It looks better, it plays better, the story is more intense and the multiplayer is more inviting. And with the inclusion of SpecOps, the longevity of this game is sure to have increased as well.
