CodyBNov 10, 2009Lives up to the hype. One of the best games this generation among the original Call of Duty 4, Metal Gear Solid 4, Left 4 Dead, & Uncharted 2.

HannesNNov 10, 2009Why does this game have such a bad mark on user score? i bet its all those ppl saying like how much hype this game is getting that give it low points, they should first play the game online, and then they'll understand!

motoNov 10, 2009Considering it has the same gameplay, the PS3 version offers the best online side of it for the simple reason that all the screaming kids are on xbox live and the PC version has been bitch slapped to only play on official servers with a reduced player count.

AlexCJan 16, 2010This game has a great varaity of levels including an oil rig Afgan etc. The multiplayer is amazing as you unlock guns,titles,emblems,kill streak rewards and camo for your gun. The new spec ops is a good idea seeing as you can play online or single player!

-
ShaneDJan 18, 2010I dont understand people who give this game low ratings. Its a imporoved versoin of the series and honestly the funnest game out right now. The multiplayer actoin is better then call of duty 4. I dont think anyone can find something that needs to be improved on.

AndrejMNov 13, 2009No custom maps No mods No tweaking No dedicated servers No playing higher then 9v9 Higher pings Harsh DRM(Steam) No community Shorter single player from CoD4 No competitive play Forced hosting $10 extra price Don't even waste your time, critic reviews are paid.

StephenWDec 14, 2009There is nothing wrong with this game. It plays exactly like the first but it's better overall in quality. You have no reason for not having this game collect dust with the rest of your PS3 games.

JPDec 15, 2009This game is awesome. graphics are super, the online multiplayer is really fun and the campaign is great even though its a little short i still love this game. this game is a must buy!! definetly in my top 5 also!!!!

yesaigDec 22, 2009this game is awesome infinityward pulled a 10 the graphic with this game sound effect, history is something shorter than the previous one but certainly worth buying

[anonymous]Dec 22, 2009The most comprehensive multiplayer FPS to date (so much equipment, great maps, great objectives). I love this game. After reading the negative reviews from other users, I can only say that these people must be 1) Not into FPS, 2) Not good at console FPS. or 3) stupid. You definitely have to be able to play at a certain level in multiplayer, or you will easily become frustrated.

OskarKDec 28, 2009The Campaign is very intense and action packed, the Spec Ops is surprisingly varied and challenging, and the Multiplayer is just divine! I find MW2 the best game since GTA 4.

nickhDec 14, 2009It is the best game ever! if you like the call of duty series don't listen to the ones who give bad reviews. and admit it people the singleplayer story may be short but it is worth playing especially the multiplayer online!.
-
-
JustinKDec 27, 2009This game is pretty good! Most people probably don't agree with this statement because they haven't played the other Cod's! Playing Cal of Duty 4: MW keeps you grasping the edge of your seat when playing MW2! It just keeps the excitement going, and going!

Aug 17, 2010I know there are a lot of haters out there(I don't know why) but this is a great game. Trust the real game review sites, not a Battlefield bad company fanboy posting here. Amazing graphics, decent storyline, great sound, amazing co-op, and one of the best multiplayers. A must-have game!
-
Oct 15, 2010Call of duty Modern Warfare 2 is a really good shooter which has really good online as well. The missions are action packed with lots of action in each of the missions, it has lots of guns you can use in them with RPGâ

Feb 10, 2011best call of duty, only people that dont like this game are people who are bad at it and dont like getting nube tubed. All the noobs complaining about this game is what brought black ops which is definitely the worst cod.
-
Mar 11, 2011Stunning. Could'nt lay down the controller in campaign mode. Getting into multiplayer as well, at first ridiculously tough, but now moving up in rank fast. Co-op special ops are fun too. Full-on, this game.
-
May 23, 2011This game has a user score of 57 as opposed to a critic score of 94. This tells me that it's a high quality game, but people don't like it because they suck. Now whether or not you LIKE a game is subjective, and I'm sure that there are people who actually don't. However, the majority of negative reviews here are just people **** that they got killed in MP.
-
Mar 30, 2011Best Call of duty game in my veiw. Gripping Campaign, Brilliant multiplayer and i cant stop playing even though its 2011. the graphics are even better than black ops still 2 years ahead of MW2 i prefer it and many people i know do aswell.
-
Apr 17, 2011This game has it all in my opinion. Great single player, the Special Operations games are fantastic and the Online Multiplayer is terrific. I don't understand the lows scores, since I would highly recommend this game as one of the best shooter experiences I've played. The whole package...

Jun 10, 2011This game may not be the best game ever, but it has a fun not too hard story mode and has great special ops and is really fun to play with friends and online
-
Jun 16, 2011I think this is the best game in the world! I really like the single player and the spec ops are very funny.
-
Sep 15, 2011For me, the best first-person shooter video game of the year (2009). I play some other Call of Duty titles, but this one was the best campaign ever made. The really good thing about MW2 is definitely de on line mode (the best that i ever play). I recommended.
-
Aug 8, 2011This is the best FPS game I have ever played. Really good customization and the fun never ends with all the Map Packs. And thats it. All the Negatives are battlefield fans or noobs.
-
Oct 31, 2011Let's put this in perspective. If you're one of those Halo or Killzone fanboys that gets mad when a Call of Duty game destroys one of your favorite games, don't even read this. However, if you're a regular person who enjoys fun and valuable experiences, MW2 is an excellent choice.
-
Nov 2, 2011Para mi es un gran shooter, es divertido, y ahora que han conseguido que vaya estable, me encanta!!
tiene sus defectos y podria mejorar, pero a mi me divierte! -
Nov 9, 2011This game is so perfect, Gameplay, graphics, quick scopes with sniper, i love it so much, tactical nuke is the best thing i have ever seen. This game really rocks, best FPS ever made.
-
Dec 21, 2011People should stop comparing this to other games, great campaign that tests you on veteran along with a superb online that also does the same. If you are looking for a fun campaign this game is for you.

Feb 26, 2012It's official. Modern Warfare 2 is one of the best games of the century. I'll give it a definite 10 for it's amazing graphics, excellent plot, and astonishing multiplayer. If you don't have this, well , I feel bad for you because you're missing out on an extraordinary game.

Aug 26, 2012Perfect game! in Multiplayer you can use your favorite attachments and in single player you have an perfect experience with awesome graphics and weapons.
-
Oct 5, 2012Its a simple fact, Tactical Nukes rock! This game rocks! I would highly recommend that you get a nuke as your first killstreak because they are so fun!
-
May 8, 20135.9 are you kidding, dont listen at all to that score this is one of the best most comprehensive online, spec ops and single player. Much better than 3 way better than black ops. This game is turly great.
-
Nov 23, 2012This game will forever be the pinnacle of the CoD franchise (including the original Modern Warfare). I love this game and played it far beyond it's release date. The only reason that most of us don't play it anymore is because of the hackers that UAV themselves into an orgasm. A sad end to a great game.
-
May 19, 2013Probably the best COD game I have played. It has a good campaign but its too short. Spec Ops is a good addition to the COD series. For the multiplayer, it has the best pacing, best guns, and best killstreaks
-
Nov 18, 2013This game is utter garbage, don't buy this, the game sucks as hell, that being sayd, so for that reason i must give this game a 10, did i already say i was paid by microsoft, no, then i say it now
-
Dec 31, 2013The campaign in my opinion is not the greatest but the multiplayer is just phenomenal.One of the best games I've ever played.The guns are almost equally balanced (except the ACR maybe) and the maps are great.Infinity Ward did a freaking good job

Sep 27, 2014A día de hoy para mi es el mejor COD. Tiene la campaña que mas me gusta de la saga, breve como de costumbre pero muy muy intensa, un modo coop. con misiones correcto y un multijugador genial. Si no fuera por los hackers que hay hoy en día lo jugaría con mas regularidad, pero aun así no puedes poner una nota baja por eso, el juego en sí es muy bueno.Un shooter adictivo como pocos.
-
Jan 2, 2015Great game. Great weapons. Great maps. Good perks. Plenty to unlock. This game is extremely addicting. Maps like terminal are a joy to play in. There's akimbos which is good. The game is balanced.
-
Feb 23, 2015In my opinion, the last GREAT Call of Duty game. Campaign was on the short side but it was still good. But Multiplayer is still hell of fun, I still pick up this game from time to time. Spec Ops missions are fun but I highly recommend doing it with a friend.
-
Mar 6, 2015thought it was cool the way the story up so good that the game in Russian thought too violent polemical this map huh spec ops cool was good to play with friends and my father the best multiplayer yet
-
Nov 19, 2015This series was excellent and well done. The first was great, and 2 surpassed it. They added new content and challenges that kept me trying to perfect the same missions I have played over and over again for over 2 years. I would buy this game again, if I only had a second system to play it on (it is that good).

Oct 12, 2015This game is just perfect, good gameplay, "good"story, excellent multiplayer, violence,blood and the the best thing is tha tif you finish the story mode, you can do a lot of things, like finish the "special ops" and get all the levels in the multiplayer mode.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 ImageMy favorite cod game ever a game like Modern warfare 2 it's just too good the campaign where it follows up after MW and that the WW3 have started the missions was great the multiplayer too ,nothing to complain about to -
Dec 31, 2017This game was so awesome and i would like to see a remake of it in the future
-
May 6, 2018Simply the best call of duty game that has ever been made. The campaign, thrilling. Multiplayer? Amazing. Iconic maps such as rust and estate? So much fun. If activision had half a brain they would remaster this game as a whole and not just the campaign mode and I felt they really only wanted to remaster half of it to save money, they should remaster the multiplayer.

Sep 6, 2023Fácilmente entre los diez mejores shooters de todos los tiempos, Modern Warfare II es la culminación de un proceso muy largo que ha ido perfeccionándose entrega tras entrega, ni siquiera creo que su secuela esté a la altura. Es el mejor Call of Duty que se ha hecho.
-
Nov 7, 2020Best game i have ever played, it was done perfectly, campaign was god tier, multiplayer is godlike and the spec ops was so great. Truly the best cod game ever
-
Jun 24, 2020The absolute GOAT. By far the greatest call of duty in the franchise's history. So much fun. A classic.
-
Nov 17, 2022It doesn't get better than this!
Amazing spec ops, multiplayer and single player. Love it all the way around. -
Mar 4, 2023People should stop comparing this to other games, great campaign that tests you on veteran along with a superb online that also does the same. If you are looking for a fun campaign this game is for you.
-
Jun 6, 2023Great game in ‘09, great game now in ‘23. Still holds up graphically, and performance. This game catapulted activision and the well established call of duty series. Great story, set pieces, weapon variations and game mechanics. Challenging special ops mode and the legendary multiplayer which is still very playable 14 years later.

Oct 21, 2022The BEST Call of Duty of all the time!!! My favorite CoD ever!! Everyting about this game is perfectly on point! So many memories about this game!
-
Nov 30, 2022The first real game that made me pick up a controller and never put it down again. Please help me it's still in my hands. But seriously, this game's campaign, multiplayer, and special ops were all a blast and are what made me who I am and I couldn't be happier.
-
Apr 7, 2023I I love game and graphic amazing and ps3 free online and lot action and I recommend pick one up in store

Jun 6, 2023Dejando de lado que este juego es uno de mis favoritos de la saga, realmente creo que es un hecho que esta es una de las mejores entregas de la saga y la que impulsó bastante a la franquicia.
-
Jun 22, 2023DON'T listen to the user reviews. This game is absolutely incredible from the story to the multiplayer. This game is worth playing anytime. I'm sure that in 5 years this game will still be playable in the terms of graphics and story. I will still buy this game if i didn't have it already

JerryGJan 23, 2010For the most part I enjoy a game for the fun factor and don't get into all the complicated crap a lot of people say on here. This game this game is fun and after a few months is still fun. After spending a year in Iraq that is all I am looking for......fun!
