    Modern Warfare 2 is the best Call of Duty to date. The new installment of Infinity Ward comes with a realism never seen before, new gameplay for the story mode and new mechanics.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is a phenomenal FPS that ticks every box. With incredible aesthetics and slick gunplay it is a fantastic experience. Furthermore, the online mode is well balanced and the new levelling system is organic. Fans may gripe and groan about the changes, but I adored the methodical action and problem free gaming.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II impresses, albeit without revolutionizing, with a Campaign that smacks of the saga's "best of," a Spec Ops mode that is fun but dares little, and most importantly, a multiplayer side that is damned entertaining even if it rehashes some of the series' unfortunate design choices of recent years. All this is accompanied by an increasingly stunning technical compartment. Call of Duty is alive and well, and this is definitely the best chapter in several years.

    As it did with its reimagining of Modern Warfare, Infinity Ward has used the past as a point-of-reference rather than a blueprint, and the result is thrilling. The MW2 campaign is reliably unrevolutionary, and the multiplayer is bold enough to press against expectations – even if it isn't successful in everything that it tries. Call of Duty is slowly wading outside of its comfort zone, and it's all the better because of it.

    Modern Warfare II is most definitely a Call of Duty game; a good one to boot; things are going in the right direction with this iteration.

    Call of Duty returns for yet another year, and while the campaign feels a little bit like a case of diminishing returns, the strength of two-player co-op and multiplayer pulls Modern Warfare 2 through.

    Eventually, Modern Warfare 2 should get to a point where it becomes an easy recommendation for shooter fans, but it's undercooked and underwhelming in its current state.

    Downgrade from MW19 in realism and sound, why bring quick scoping back ? The perk system is terrible, you earn perks in game.

    Was so hyped for this game launch that i bought the vault edition..
    The campaign of this game is really good with amazing missions and    Was so hyped for this game launch that i bought the vault edition..
    The campaign of this game is really good with amazing missions and amazing graphics...
    But there are many things that ruins this game:
    Forced Crossplay with PC players
    Border map (santa sena) is the worst of all time
    Time to kill
    Skill Based matchmaking
    The new gunsmith system
    Warzone, a total disaster..

    This game is not worth 70 euros for a campaign mode, i'm disappointed and i think this is my last CoD game that i have bought...    … Expand

    Forced crossplay with pc. Huge mistake. Going back to Black Ops cold war instead.

    Infinity Ward have created another borefest.
    The worst maps i have encountered in Call of Duty, all of which are set up for campers.
    Even the Invasion & Ground War modes are full of players camping with the sniper rifle.
    Gunplay as usual for COD is good. The new weapon upgrade/attachment process is beyond baffling & not user friendly.
    The biggest issue with the game for Xbox users is the ommision of the crossplay option, which was in the beta. Do IW not realise that there are no console players who want crossplay with PC. We have paid the same amount for the game as Playstation gamers, yet they have the crossplay option. I have been advised that the crossplay option is an exclusive for Playstation. Exclusive!!! Crossplay is a basic game option!! What next? No aim assist or crosshair for Xbox players?
    The game is full of PC cheaters using wallhack & aimbot.
    My advice for Xbox players is not to bother with this game unless the crossplay option is added & better maps are updated.    … Expand
