While COD4 was limited to UAVs, air strikes and helicopter support, MW2 has thrown open the doors of variety and has a plethora of new support options. Kill streaks have been radically altered this time, both to reward expert players and to aid newcomers. These include ‘death streak’ perks, such as stealing the loadout of the player who killed you, a boost of health and the martyrdom perk, which lets you drop a live grenade on your death for some payback. No other online FPS is so sleek in its approach.Ī new perk system has also been introduced for players who find themselves struggling. The simply flawless control system, precise and smooth aiming and general feel of the game is unparalleled.

So, now that the game has been out for a few weeks, let’s see just how good the multiplayer mode really is.įans of the series will be pleased to know that all of the features of COD4‘s multiplayer are present and correct. In fact, with the addition of the new Spec Ops mode, this instalment ups the online fragging ante to the next level, unfortunately for every other FPS developer out there. Luckily, COD doesn’t simply focus on a single player experience, and while Infinity Ward always heaps plenty of attention on the single player experience (keep it up, boys), it’s multiplayer where COD‘s real strength lies, and MW2 is certainly no different. The single player campaign is every bit as impressive as the story of COD4, with twists, turns, shocks and the heavily attacked and controversial airport scene, but, like COD4, it’s also pretty damn short. While not a revolutionary departure from COD4, MW2 boasts enough in the way of tweaks and fine tuning to emerge as one of the best FPS titles of all time. This is for good reason, of course, as Modern Warfare 2 is simply stunning. Few would argue Modern Warfare 2’s status as the single biggest console release of 2009, and it’s a title that’s already had an obscene amount of praise lavished upon it.
