G4TV: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Review

G4TV writes: "Nobody does war like Infinity Ward. Its 'Call of Duty' titles have evolved from excellent examples of the first-person shooter genre to a redefinition of what gamers expect from a war title. With 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2', Infinity Ward takes the already solid foundation laid in 'Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare' and polishes it to a jaw-dropping shine."

But a clear contender. GOTY has already been issued to Uncharted 2 but I will be enjoying Modern Warfare 2 for the next two years so kudos!

I just can't wait until I get home tommorrow so I can play it. I've had like 10 text messages from friends saying its the best shooter they've ever played in so many words so I'm really excited, COD4 was only second to Gears of War for me and I'm thinking this might just surpass that bar, if it does I could care less about awards because it will get my personal seal of approval, what's better than that or do you need others to tell you what to think.

By the gaming journalism this is GOTY, by gamers is UC2

Goddammit, why did I watch the video review...this whole time I didn't read what the controversial scene was and then they show it here. Thanks G4. If you don't know what happens, DONT WATCH THE REVIEW

One that's not based on "percentage of perfection" but "Should you buy this game?"

MW2 is getting great scores. I will pick it up eventually but not right away, playing Unchar... err another game for the moment. You would think that MW2 would be getting around 9's everywhere but I guess not. Wonder if MW2 will have the maps from Cod4?

hagla5306d ago

Ok i canceled my order for this on PC because of everything IW took out of the game... Dedicated servers, no mods, 9 vs 9 etc... But every review i have seen so far is giving this near on perfect scores if not perfect... I think i will buy it after all but will get it on PS3 instead of PC now, mainly just because i feel like they stooged the PC version (and yes i know its the same on PC, but i still feel that way for some reason?)

kingdavid5306d ago

not a bad idea to be honest. Hopefully the pc sales are very poor so that they rethink their plans for the next game. I think they know deep down that theyve screwed up somewhere.

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.

TheColbertinator283d 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.
