FIrst Online Multiplayer Review for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

This is the very first review for IW's upcoming shooter! No embargo necessary as the site already found the game for sale!

DualShockers writes:

"Want to know what's better than getting your hands on Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2? Getting your hands on it by buying it from a "mom and pop" video game store that can care less about release dates, that's what! With that said we (DualShockers) are not held under any review embargo as we've purchased the game ourselves. Now let's get to the multiplayer review, shall we?

I came. I saw. I pwned. Oh and I loved every single minute of it. That sums up what was my experience with the multiplayer found in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. We've decided to break up our review of this year's most anticipated game into 2 parts, simply because the multiplayer is so deep that including it within a full game review simply will not do it justice."

That's awesome! Kotaku did the same thing earlier with Borderlands! Gearbox never sent them the game, so they bought it in the store before it was released and reviewed it that way! Good Job, and good review!

I don't thk this is a surprise at all. With all the customization and ridiculous options IW gives the gamer, the only thing that surprises me is that it didn't get a 6/5.

@taz- Lol, it would be hilarious, but we'll see at least one 6/5 score in the next week or so. Thats certain.

taz80805310d ago

@ deadreckoning - that would be hilarious if someone gave it a 6/5, lol

multipayer5310d ago

A joke. I don't think I could laugh much harder though.

Uncharted 2 got 21/20 O_o that was surprising

Perjoss5310d ago

people like naughty dog, thats why we saw a 21/20 (oh and the fact that U2 was amazing), but because activision is tied to this title you will never see a score like that for MW2.

Poopface the 2nd5310d ago

didnt you see, hiphopgamer gave uncharted 2 a 100/10 cause hes a joke.

I feel bad for the gimped pc version but I have a feeling that this game will be better than 4 for consoles.

This game is sh!t. There is no seperation from the first one. You will see.

I wish they would explain how a game with the same engine as the last one and a few adjustments to weapons and the wtf nuke justifies all this hype along with the price.

This could have been done as DLC in all honesty. Sucked in, not I.

taz80805310d ago

Interesting point of view, I heard that form another friend as well about it being unbalanced also.

toaster5310d ago

They just reviewed CoD4!!!!!

corneliuscrust5310d ago

I still have a lot of fun just playing Cod4 and the community is still decent for that game.

TooTall195309d ago

can't even play KZ2 anymore cause there's usually only 1 game in the whole world that plays the DLC maps. It seems like all the other one's are usually just Radec.

The Anticipation for this game is numbing!

taz80805310d ago

MW3 shouldn’t leave Modern Warfare 2’s overlooked playlist behind

Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the biggest COD games yet features-wise, but it shouldn't leave out one of the best MW2 game modes in the rear view mirror.

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

PunksOnN4G285d ago

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood285d ago

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G285d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade284d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

fr0sty285d ago (Edited 285d ago )

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality284d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator284d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G284d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy85285d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai285d ago (Edited 285d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G285d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo285d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg285d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast284d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
