I'm a bit late to the Xbox 360 Call of Duty scene. An avid "Wii" and "Wii U" COD player because of Wii Motion controls, I recently discovered a way to utilize Wii Motes (with Wii Zapper) on the Xbox 360 (thanks, CronusMax Plus). Since then, my Advanced Warfare and Black Ops 2 games are like "new" again as I can play with a Wii controller and not a standard Xbox controller. This inspired me to buy Modern Warfare 2, rated by most COD fans as the best COD game of all time. An avid "Team Deathmatch" (or online) player, I'm always ready to see new maps and find new ways to defeat the enemy team while supporting my "brothers" in this simulated shoot 'em up game. It is fun, the graphics are solid considering the year it was produced and I'm just staring to level up to unlock skins, perks and weapon enhancements (i.e. grips, suppressors, etc.). I bought the version with "bonus maps" and got it for under $20. A great deal.Read full review

The modern warfare franchise is mainly thanks to Infinity Ward.Since Infinity Ward's first appearance with Call Of Duty 4,it's been a huge hit. When Modern Warfare 2 was released, gamers were exploding with excitment. The campaign of this game is overly exciting.It does have over-powered guns, but that doesn't make this game bad. The campaign isnt to long or to short. It should probably take an average of 7-11 days to complete for regular average gamers. The multiplayer is the big hit in Modern Warfare 2. It has good graphics which are better then Black Ops graphics.Black ops did cut down the levels to 50 and modern warfare 2's levels are at 70, but it doesnt mean this game is bad. Also Modern Warfare 2 has quickscoping unlike Black Ops.Quickscoping is a huge plus in Modern Warfare 2. quickscoping is right when your about to look through your scope you fire.Black Ops made it so you can't.Lots of gamers were dissapointed with Black Ops banning quickscopes. Modern Warafre 2 Doesnt feature Zombie mode but has a Special Ops feature.Special Ops are side missions that you can complete solo,split screen, or online with a friend.Missions dont connect with the storyline. Each mission has a total of 3 stars you can earn.How you earn them depends on the mission you play.Example...If the mission your playing is a racing one,the stars will be depended on how fast you completed the mission. Multiplayer...9/10 Campaign...10/10 Special Ops...7/10 Overrall rating...9/10Read full review
It's a GREAT GAME with lots of action until you take it to Xbox Live. Then you have to deal with every Cheat and Hacker in the world which totally ruins the game. There are tens of thousands of idiots with cheats like "aimbots" which allow them to make perfect shots every time. Then you have the enhanced controllers sold on eBay and elsewhere that allows them to shoot faster, run faster, jump higher, and can even "lag or slow-down" the game to give them a few seconds of invincibility or nearly impossible to hit. Then you have sellers on Xbox selling cheats called "infection" that allow them to "see through walls", follow your gamer tag every where you go, light you up in a red box no matter how concealed you are and then has a pointing laser which means they only have to point close and shoot and not really aim. The latest is a NO SCOPE - QUICK scope cheat that allows them to shoot several targets no matter the spacing without ever adjusting their weapons as it auto jumps from one to the next. Finally we have stealth programs that allow them to appear and disappear a few feet from you and a commando cheat that allows them to knife you halfway across the map. If you want to play it on disc --- GREAT --- take it live and you will quickly be disgusted by the cheaters that ruin the game.Read full review
I just bought this game for a friend but I do have it and me and him play together. The game has a great story mode but, it is way way way to short. It only takes about 5 hours to be it even if you had never played the game before. On-line play is pretty good. I think my connection is not always very good and therefore I would knife someone but they would kill me. On their kill cam it showed that I never knifed him. Overall it is a game that I would recommend to people who like military-like games but don't like to spend a lot of time just trying to beat a level or beat the game. It also would be awesome if it had some sort of multi-player campaign mode instead of just co-op spec ops. I know they are probably just trying to make CoD one of the most enjoyable single player games but, it just doesn't compete with other games like Fable, Oblivion, and Final Fantasy. They should just make a co-op campaign mode because people really only beat the single player campaign then they play on-line forever so there is no use in making it strictly for single player use only.Read full review
Call of Duty: Modern Warare 2 Review Campaign: There is a word I hear more often than not when talking to fellow gamers about Modern Warfare 2s campaign. While it may seem ignorant and somewhat missplaced with the ever growing arsenal of teched-out super weapons, I feel the campaign can be summed up with this one word: Chaos! Die-hard fans of the previous Duty installment find themselves hard-pressed to call their actions tactical in this sequel. That is not to say action its not welcome. However, a touch of the 'tone down sitck' seems more than neccesary. Infinity Ward seems to have attempted to go too big, too fast. Never a dull moment, as you're dodging fire from endles hoards of enemies weilding the 'die for the cause' AI. (That's regardless of the difficulty you choose, mind you.) That in mind, I still found myself in awe of my surroundings (when I had time to look at them). There is a definite Red Dawn approach for one chapter of game, which really gives you the 'wow!' factor. And lets not forget the mission that is actually so graphic and controversial that I was asked if I wanted to play it. Really, though, this all just ties more into what im talking about with the "too big, too fast". All in all, I felt that IW delivered the best they could. From a technology stand point, I mean this quite literaly, we have World of Warcraft's Blizzard to thank for a lot of it. Though I'm not quite sold on it being the dream team it should be, but that's for another review I suppose. Campaign Rating: * Story - 7/10 (A lot of stretches were made and crafted together with seemingly little care. Also a bit to short, clocking in at around 6hours.) * Characters - 5/10 (You won't remember to many names, if any.) * Mission Flow - 7/10 (Much room for improvement on the multiple character view points you take on.) * Graphics/Details - 10/10 (Beautiful and seemingly flawless!) * Replayability - 8/10 (Most missions are based on a lot of luck. You won't want to revisit that gamble very often.) * Overall - 7.5/10 (Solid game, but room for improvement?) Special Ops: In all honesty, I have not played all of the Spec Ops. This is simply because of the lack of online player matching leaving me without a teamate more often than not. This feature in no way challenges the infamous Nazi Zombies of Call of Duty World at War. While a ton of effort was thrown in to this addition, I can't help but feel it was wasted space. The question I ask myself is if this feature had online random player matching, would I enjoy it? The answer I have fallen on is simply no. Irrating is a good word to discribe Spec Ops. Plan on hitting that replay mission button A LOT. And with most of the levels being mirrors of campaign levels, it gets old fast. So what is good about Spec Ops? Snowmobile Racing. Spec Ops Rating: * Replay Value: 5/10 * Overall: 4/10 Multiplayer: I will not go in to detail here as CoD online has always been great. This installment is no different, accept that theres so much more depth. Modding and hacking has ruined a lot of the fun, but it isn't a constant problem. Without spoiling anything, I'll just say go out an play it yourself. I'm sitting at 12 days played (that should tell you I enjoy it). * Overall rating of 8/10Read full review
