    Having spent time in this game I have no regrets. Only one mission "not a word in Russian" is worth it. In 2020, due to these femmes and other rabble, there are either few or no such missions in games

    Honestly, I loved this game. At first, I encountered some resolution problems. But the story-telling was absolutely amazing. I enjoyed every single moment. 5hrs on record.

    HANDS DOWN the best call of duty in history. Campaign is amazing, Hans Zimmer made a great soundtrack, and characters are memorable. Spec ops missions are good. Only bad part is multiplayer, which is generic boring CoD multiplayer.

    Modern Warfare 2 is a 2009 game, but is pretty decent to this day.
    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

    This is the second best CoD game after the original MW. There were a lot of balancing issues with multiplayer, but it was still very fun and addicting. Without DLCs, MW2 offered a whopping 16 maps that are still considered some of the best till this day. Campaign was amazing and very well written., although veteran mode was not challenging compared to previous CoD titles. Spec Ops was aThis is the second best CoD game after the original MW.

    Single Player campaign is brilliant. Lots of tune-ups and improvements from the first game in terms of mechanics and gameplay. Can't say much in terms of MP.

    The campaign alone warrant a 9 out of 10. People must have gone mad back in 2009 when it got not dedicated servers and so reveiw bombed it with 1 out of 10. The campaign was agonizingly short but intense and arguably the best in the COD franchise.

    Well, it is a great game. What can I say? The campaign is good, the multiplayer is good. Spec ops is fun but I'm bad at video games so I get angry if I die. That's mostly my fault.

    Well it's true that multiplayer is a bit annoying (still pretty enjoyable in my opinion) but please don't believe in people that think the campaign is "garbage." Special Ops is a great addition too.

    One of the best campaigns you can play in a first person game, specially one set in modern days. It is really really worth it. Heard there was a multiplayer mode too, but never seen that.

    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 single player is just epic, Special ops is great to play with a friend and the multiplayer is just... It's this thing about no dedicated servers, you can't join a good enough host so it will always lag for the players. Really the only thing letting this game down is the MP, I love everything else to bits. I run the game fine with 1GB RAM, GTX260 graphics and a pretty fast Dual Core.

    Overrated by most but it doesn't mean this game is terrible. In my opinion the single player was incredible and challenging. probably not worth 60$ but also not worth a bad rating.

    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.
