    This game is alot of fun but it has a lot of performance issues when playing online and there is a lot of microtransactions. This game is great despite all those problems but 70 dollars is not worth it for this game just wait for a discount or pirate it.

    i love this game and want to give it a higher review but i just cant because of the bugs. i had to reset my mission because of bugs and stop the pacing of the campaign to search up on google how to fix something, so many times that i just cant give it any higher until they fix it

    Excellent game in terms of game-play and graphics, but the story phase is bad and tends to portray Arabs and Muslims as terrorists.

    Had a lot of fun playing the multiplayer. The Champaign was epic too. I had not issues playing it on Series X. Iy is worth playing this one.

    The multiplayer is almost exactly like the modern warfare 2019 multiplayer so do with that what you will ( I personally enjoy them very much).

The campaign is pretty good but doesn't live up to my expectations after 2019's campaign. The campaign also has a lot of animations that feel raw and incomplete. The infiltration parts that 2019 was famous for are more dotted around throughout the campaign and don't capture the satisfaction as the mission Clean House did in 2019. Character interactions also feel a lot more cartoony and not as realistic as 2019s. The worst part of the entire campaign are armored enemies. Before, you could walk through an entire building shooting once or twice at people making you feel like an actual spec-op. Now, you have to waste an entire half mag to kill enemies really losing that satisfaction. Other than these points, there are some cool bits in the campaign such as the rappel mission or the pick-up truck mission.… Expand

    I would rate both the campaign and multiplayer an 8/10.

    Campaign is fun, simple as that. Nothing will top the iconic, yet surprising airport scene of the original. I believe it is unfair to compare the two. Old characters are still badass and new characters are equally as badass. I appreciate the experimental nature of the mission design even if it doesn’t hit every single time.

    Campaign is fun, simple as that. Nothing will top the iconic, yet surprising airport scene of the original. I believe it is unfair to compare the two. Old characters are still badass and new characters are equally as badass. I appreciate the experimental nature of the mission design even if it doesn’t hit every single time. What holds it back are the balancing issues. Enemy AI is OP while teammate bot AI is mediocre. It took me out of the realism when I sometimes felt I died unfairly because of occasional weird pacing of the story and enemies flanking me from seemingly out of nowhere.

    Multiplayer is also just a good time. Graphics are obviously great, maps are varied, and there are a solid amount of modes to start the MWII meta that’ll last for approximately the next two years. I don’t have a problem with no hardcore mode at launch, it will come. I don’t have problems with the weapon leveling system as leveling up a different weapon to either unlock a new weapon or its attachments have forced me to try out different weapons and keep things fresh. What holds it back from me giving multiplayer a 9 is something the COD community has been complaining about for a while, SBMM. Good players complain that they don’t want to have to select their best loadout every time to stay competitive. An average player like me who is too good for beginners but not great, is put in lobbies where I’m just frying noobs. I don’t get good practice this way. There is no reason why we can’t have both “ranked” matches and random lobbies. Hardcore and regular modes still don’t do the community justice. A play again feature where you can fight the same team with your buddies also needs to return.

    All in all, a semi-return to form for IW and Activision.    … Expand

    Some rough edges as most games that launch these days have. Overall improvements on all fronts they have a formula and style of gameplay you either enjoy or don't. I've been playing CODs since the very first one and I appreciate the constant improvements every year. However it would be nice in the near future that really shakes up the franchise.

    It’s good, but not amazing yet. The gunsmith is a little confusing but not the end of the world. You can’t sprint around as much as previous titles, it’s more tactical. It’s not as fun for some reason. Hopefully when the season starts it will sort itself out.

    I’ve never been one for call of duty stories, but this one is definitely a step above the rest. not groundbreaking, but good. The multiplayer, however, is better than ever with the inclusion of casual skill-based matchmaking, making it easier than ever to not be as overwhelmed by players better than you. overall, one of the best call of duty games in years

    I purchsed and played CoD since Cod4, only multiplay though. Its fun, I know its frustrating when you get killed all the time but I just enjoy playing this game for some reason. Looking forward on more maps though, night maps needs to be removed or consolidated into different mode where only nightmaps are going to be played.

    Let's be honest, there's really no bigger title to compete in the FPS genre at the moment, both in terms of the sometimes mediocre content and this year's very polished graphics. [Issue#324]

    A somewhat droll campaign will greet players of Modern Warfare II. It's a short bombastic romp with some fun gunplay moments and fantastic graphics. The multiplayer, however, is a miss as it is no longer a properly combined entity and the lack of replayability is disappointing. A recommendation for CoD fans but for anyone even slightly on the fence perhaps keep shopping or waiting for a sale.

    CoD MW 2 is a refreshing single-player experience, providing players with some of the best action-packed moments and great characters, but riddled with multiplayer balancing issues and extreme performance and technical problems. It still is CoD and is fun for anyone who finds its casual shooting gameplay compelling, but it plays safely and doesn’t present itself as something revolutionary for the franchise.
