    The best game in all of Call of Duty. The campaign is just so so good, and nothing beats No Russian, it is just brutal. The full out warfare that goes on in Virginia when the Russians attack is shown SO well in this game. Not to mention that the game has THE BEST Call of Duty Multiplayer ever made.

    Peak of the franchise. Fun but forgettable single player campaign matched with addicting and chaotic multiplayer.

    I prefer mw1's campaign but the campaign on this game is still great and the multiplayer is improved in every way.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    A great sequel to the first Modern Warfare game.

    Slight improvements over the shooting and the graphics

    The story is more intense, there's way more action and it has nice set-pieces.

    But the multiplayer is messy and chaotic, many guns are broken but it's still fun nonetheless.

    Lastly, the Spec Ops mode is a welcome addition.

    Final Rating: "Very Good" ~ 7.5/10.

    Modern Warfare 2 is still one of the best FPS and easily better than most if not all CoD released since, including MW22.

    Basically Modern Warfare on cocaine with improved gameplay and more action sequences. What more could you ask for?

    One of my favorite story modes in an FPS game, a stupidly complete & fun online mode, this is just prime COD.

    Content rich game. One of the best maps in the franchise. Spec Ops is very fun in co-op but the very last missions are just cheap in veteran.

    This game is a great example of how to mesh Hollywood's over the top action scenes and military realism into one. The campaign is one of the greatest first person shooter campaigns of all time. The multiplayer, as unbalanced as it was, was so fun and so remarkable.

    Amazing game that improves slightly upon the story and game play of Call of Duty 4 but is also very similar still. Only disappointing thing is how short it is compared to older games like Call of Duty 2. The gameplay feels great and smoother than the previous title and the story is a fun quick explosive experience that feel like an action movie. Honestly surprised this game has mixed reviews >.>

    Greatest CoD of all time. Simply untouchable. The only problem was 'one man army'. For that I cant give it more than a 9. Once in a lifetime multiplayer experience that will probably never be duplicated for CoD ever again.

    Nostalgia carried most of this game in my mind. It is simply too unbalanced to be a 10/10. Still my favorite of the series by far. Please remaster it already.

    Mw2 combined with mw1 is absolutely best call of duty experience. Vivid characters engaging sory and so many epic locations. Campaign of 2 is not better than first mw but multiplayer in mw2 is brilliant and spec ops are awesome as well. Must play! After mw1 of course.

    Oh baby a triple!! Sorry about that. This game's campaign is phenomenal just like it's prequel. The multiplayer started the dude bro thing and trickshotting. Spec Ops was ok I guess.

    COD: MW2 has some memorable moments and missions, including a controversial one, but the game over all did it's job. Only rating this based off of the single player campaign as I do not play multiplayer.

    Leaving the multiplayer mode completely aside, the story is one of the best the COD series has, with an interesting character development, a realistic villain, a bittersweet ending and sets up as the best one of the trilogy

    Modern Warfare 2 was IMO the high points of the series.

    It had the best COD multiplayer I've played to this day and was just insanely fun. Even the campaign was great. Ghost, Soap, Price, Shepherd and Makarov were some really great characters. Unlike the more modern games of COD which are just forgettable. Only thing missing is a zombies mode, but you have black ops for that!    Modern Warfare 2 was IMO the high points of the series.

    Modern Warfare 2 crosses into the must-have category of video games effortlessly. It offers an unmatched shooter experience, a compelling story mode, a slick package of mini missions and a multiplayer which is pretty much unparalleled in depth.

    Anyone who already has issues with the single-player ‘style’ of IW’s games will still find fault with the scripted, linear experience, but in terms of sheer drama and show-stopping set-pieces accompanied by laser sharp FPS controls, Modern Warfare 2 is your daddy. And that’s without Spec Ops and Multiplayer.
