    Game should be still in pre-alpha. This Game has more bugs than my backyard.

Warzone 0/5 cuz only bugs DMZ 3/5 (looks like a funny mode, which could be good in some months) MP/Campaign ?/5 idk im very happy i didn't payed 70$ for this bs.    Game should be still in pre-alpha.

    Been playing COD since the original on PC which had 64 player MP and a lot of bunny hopping. This also has (finally) a 64 MP mode and a lot of bunny hopping.

This also has (finally) a 64 MP mode and a lot of bunny hopping. Some hardcore fans will hate the new attachment system for weps as to get the best red dot for the M4 AR you need to level up the shotgun,etc.

    Gunplay has more recoil than 2019 MW but that's a good thing as it feels more satisfying. Sound for guns is top tier for FPS games and blows games like BF2042 away as far as sound design. Maps for 6v6 range from very good to WTF were they thinking. I prefer the bigger maps on Ground War as they seem like a mini BR with tons of buildings and vertical gunplay.

    The Single player campaign is also one of the best in the series and has no loading screens and is shot like a Hollywood action spy movie.

    The main reason I knock off 2 points is because of bugs causing crashes and a lack of certain things like Hardcore mode (which I don't play) and a combat record to see KDR and weapon stats. Other than that if your a fan of FPS games this is an easy buy. If not wait for sale on Black Friday....    … Expand

    Modern Warfare 2 has the potential to be a good game unfortunately SBBM mixed with the worst spawning system and horrible map design that don't play well in a 6v6 environment makes what could be a great game into an average game not to mention the bs decisions like the mini map and perks system.

    As usual with any COD, there is a lot of yelling from all sides, because they can never meet everyones expectations. And there is A LOT OF expectations on such an iconic and successful franchise.

    Finally the campaign story is great and the multiplayer is fun. I hope they will add more multiplayer content but this is the best COD game for since the old modern warfare series in my opinion.

    Basically don't buy yet cause this is a larger beta, Invasion is just a beta to warzone, the campaign works like warzone, that's a preference tbh. Multiplayer is a good, if it weren't for sbmm.. i have to purposely lose to have fun in the next rounds... who designed this?

    Above average campaign; Co-op missions are a blast; Top-notch shooting and action.
    Bad- Few multiplayer modes; Ho-hum campaign story; Doesn't flesh out its new ideas.

It can feel “back to basics” in some ways, which can be nice, but    Good-

    Ultimately, I feel like Call of Duty veterans who have been with the series a long time will find plenty to like in this newest entry. It can feel “back to basics” in some ways, which can be nice, but the game also pays a bit of a price for that by feeling a bit light on content compared to Cold War or even Vanguard with no zombies and fewer modes generally. That said, the variety in its modes, the versatile campaign, and fun co-op missions carry Modern Warfare 2 over the finish line just fine as a mostly satisfying entry in a series where it’s getting harder to please everyone in its increasingly large and diverse audience.    … Expand

    The campaign is top tier. All the reviews that negatively mark it, mark it down because of its focus on "nostalgia" which makes no sense to me. Multiplayer is one of the best from any Call of Duty game. Spec ops is pretty fun too. Definitely best Call of Duty we've seen in a while

    I would love to give this a 10/10, but there are so many problems with this game. Campaign-wise, it is one of the best campaigns in the series, the cliffhanger in the end makes me can't wait to see what's next!!! Now as for the MP, oh lord they have so much to fix. For Starters, the map selection is actually pretty good.

For Starters, the map selection is actually pretty good. As always my main complaint is that there should be more on release. Even though there are 16, 5 are dedicated to Ground War and the Museum map is not here(my personal favorite). The new Gunsmith is defiantly unique to say the least. If you already unlocked an attachment, you can use it on any other gun as long as you unlock the base attachment on that gun. I will say lvl up is VERY SLOW if you dont have xp tokens to use. Right now it's more of in a "beta" phase still. I want to fully love this game, but you can't expect us to give this a 10/10 with all the bugs and slow progression we are experiencing. I haven't done CO-OP yet but there are only 3 missions, so there is still much work to be done. And as always, sbmm still exists.… Expand

    If that game was not a Call of Duty, everybody would say it's the best game since a long time, and would give it a 9/10. It's an excellent game. Need some fix for occational crashes, but this game is really a good time. Great campain with great multiplayer modes. Spec ops should be splitscreen offline, hope they add that soon.

    A solid and fun action game. I used to avoid this franchise but always liked shooters. I took the risk and bought this game (the price is a little high I think, especially the Vault edition) and I enjoy every moment of this game. Very playable in my opinion.

    Amazing CoD campaign taking inspiration from the greats of CoD4 and MW2(OG) in worldwide locations and iconic characters which some are also new. Graphics overall are breathtaking being cross-gen too. Gameplay is like MW19 but a bit more fast and fluid, a great mixture between the usual arcady gameplay and a more tactical shooter. An amazing sequel that takes what MW19 did to the next level!

    The game is good. Great sound - though the latest footsteps change is not for the better, great graphics, and almost manageable speed compared to the past 3-5 iterations of the series. I think there will be more tactical modes in the future, but overall it's good as it is.

    BLUF: Do NOT spend you're $70 on this game. If you're really interested in playing the latest Call of Duty, continue to track the state of the game and/or wait for this game to go on sale. Crazy how Activision has the right to charge $10+ for the game, yet delivered a bug filled ride and a toxic mulitplayer. Additionally, the game has A LOT of bugs and stability issues. Look elsewhere this year.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II offers excellent, perfectly toned-down multiplayer that – unlike the previous games in the series – requires good but not superhuman reflexes. Guns feel better than ever and the extremely dynamic, huge Ground War is a great mode for a Battlefield fan. Modern Warfare II is simply the best online shooter available. What’s more, the single player campaign is outstanding too. Missions in its second half might disappoint those who expect to have their finger on the trigger all the time, but amazing graphics and some really cool assignments make bearing with those gameplay experiments worth it.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2022) is a fine sequel that checks all of the boxes when it comes to a serviceable CoD campaign, good co-op options, and a super shiny competitive multiplayer that plays well enough for most. However, Infinity Ward has played it safe with this CoD installment, leaning into the strengths of Modern Warfare (2019) while making minor improvements, but ultimately failing to push the envelope in any meaningful way.
