#Call of duty modern warfare 2 review series

I’m not sure quite what to call it, but the only word I can really use to describe the feeling is breathtaking. But as I surface from an underground bunker on the White House lawn, staring at the black and red sky lit up by gunfire, swarmed by the bullets of Russian invaders who have take up defensive positions inside our nation’s most treasured of buildings, Modern Warfare 2 becomes something between a movie, a game and reality. It’s not very often that I can literally feel my heart pounding out of my chest when playing a video game. The original Modern Warfare set the bar for immersiveness in both combat and story, and this sequel more than lived up to that promise. Without a doubt, Call of Duty is now home to perhaps the best single player campaign modes I’ve ever seen in a video game.

I’ll talk briefly about the three major sections of the game, but be forewarned, there will be some spoilers in the campaign section. They took everything that was good and revolutionary about the first game, kept it, and added more features without the game feeling overloaded. I’m not ready to say that Modern Warfare 2 blew me way to a much greater degree than the original, but it’s without a doubt on par.

Needless to say, this isn’t a game I’ll be doing a series of journal reviews for, and I’m opting for one rather long review instead. Well it’s been a little over 48 hours since I picked up Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, in which time I’ve beaten the entire campaign mode, sprinted through 80% of the special ops missions and leveled up in multiplayer to a level 20 Sergeant First Class something or other.
