    Absolute crap on playstation 5, constant crashes, PC cheaters, you cannot disable cross-play, so you have to play with PC cheaters with wallhacks and aimbots. Maps are terrible, ADS time is too slow, at the same time TTK is too fast. There is no dead silence, and there is ghost only at the end of the game, Constant UAV, your steps are so loud, that everyone knows where you are.

    Campaign is awesome, I really liked it. Writers did a good job creating this. Thanks for the campaign.
    Multiplayer - it's trash. I'm new to Playstation, but an experienced PC player. This is just worse than other shooters, you get matched against high level pros with camos and stuff, while you just started playing it. Totally a flop for me. Not worth buying this for multiplayer IMO.

    Campaign is pretty cool, multiplayer gameplay is good but the perk system is kinda wonky and the ui is awful. New modes probably will come with time

    Call of Duty has killed the battlefield game with this game. Call of duty becomes a much better quality game than the previous game in every game, it's a great game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Call of Duty is back! As a fan of the original COD4 and MW2 I was very existed to play as Soap, Ghost and Price once more. Played the campaign on veteran to get full immersion. I love how the story wasn't too over the top crazy and could actually happen. The graphics are better than ever and I loved the slow burn of some missions. Multiplayer is fun!… Expand

    Absolute trash. Game was unplayable at launch and is missing half the features despite being effectively a reskin of the MW2019. The perk system is awful. Not getting Ghost until halfway through a match is problematic. IW should be ashamed.

    Worse version than mw 2019 except you could actually play that game without crashing literally every 2nd game you tried to get into. Lacks progression from the start and new weapon system is also **** As an og cod fan absolutely disappointed.

    This game has less than 100 MB on the disc. Not GB, MB. Are you freaking kidding me? This makes the physical edition pointless.

The developers were too cheap and lazy to add all of that in the disc. It requires internet just to be able to play the campaign. I was on the verge of giving this game a negative score for that reason alone, but I would be in denial if I said I didn't have an absolute blast with this game. This game has tons of replay value with the multiplayer. There is even a third person mode in multiplayer.

    The campaign has fun and diverse missions, although there are some parts of the campaign that can be annoying. It has good attention to detail and interesting moments. Very well paced. The story was okay I guess, didn't really care much about it. The gunplay and player movement are well designed. The graphics are biblical. The environments look stunning. You can play offline multiplayer, but there are only like 3 maps that you can play offline for some reason.

    As I mentioned earlier, internet is required to play the campaign and offline modes. So once the developers decide to switch off the servers, you won't be able to play it unless you keep it installed in the PS5 I assume. I will eventually delete it, so it'll end up in the trash can. And the greedy developers had the audacity to charge $70 for this. Nonetheless, I did enjoy the multiplayer. Ground war is better and more balanced. No longer do I feel defenseless when I see a tank. The customization is good. The maps are well thought out compared to the recent CODs. The inclusion of the border crossing map and the F1 raceway map is a stroke of genius. There is even a third person person mode. The skull on the boxart has a cringeworthy face. This made me remove the cover paper off the game case and rip it into pieces. I recommend you get this game until it is like $30-$40.    … Expand

    This is the same CoD they've release every year sure its prety but with better hardware it should be and that gets a score of 1 from me. I don't recommend this game as its a waste on time and money.

    Garbage game. Waste of money. First the installation. We paid big money for it, couldn't they come with 2 Blu-ray discs so we wouldn't have to download huge updates just to play the campaign. Every year cod do like that to prevent friend borrow game. Secondly, come on, graphics like the same, at least jump to VR for God sakes

    No Hardcore at launch in unacceptable. UI designers need to be fired. Attachment unlocks are over complicated. And perk system is garbage. Infinity Ward too busy fixing things that aren't broken instead of releasing a complete game.

Armas inutiles como los rifles francotirador, en battlefield y modernwarfare de antes las armas se comportan con verdadero feeling de realidad y recoil y tenian un buen balance, pero en este moder warfare 2 se sienten como pistolas de agua y todas se comportan igual. Imagina que alguien con submachine gun te mata de 2 tiros y tu ya le habias disparado con un light machine gun con 4 tiros, esto ultimo hace que todos usen el mismo tipo de arma con silenciador sin ninguna penalizacion y las demas armas sean inutiles. Este juego es un caos, y una muestra de que no se necesita mucho para vender millones y al igual que Fifa ya solo vende por el nombre. Un Shotter generico sin ningun tipo de aportacion al genero.… Expand

    I cannot think a way that this game has surpassed 2009’s MW2. Does not live to the hype, dull campaign with low variety of locations and multiplayer feels like a step back in numerous ways. Perks are a mess, weapons dele underpowered, recoil is through the roof.. even the weapons names.. feels like a CoD knock-off.

    The Call of Duty series peaked in 2009-2011, and it has been downhill since. 2019’s has been the best CoD since then and is still the best to play right now.    … Expand

    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.
