Spillverket review: Modern Warfare 2

Spillverket.no: "Modern Warfare 2 was certainly among this year's most anticipated games. Now that the game is finally here, there is at least one thing clear. Hype is terribly scary, all the more so when it's bombarded at us from money hungry publishers. MW2 is definitely a good game, but unfortunately a bit short in relation to all expectations. But when that is said, it also says something about how good the game actually is - because the hype this game has generated has very few, if any, games been close to.

The Singleplayer-section is definitely an adventure worth to catch, but mainly to experience all the spectacular and well directed action scenes. The story is in itself very exciting, but unfortunately it becomes very predictable.

You barely have time to breathe because of the fierce pace that chases you out from start to finish, which will probably positive for most people. For me however it's simply too much of the good. A bit like a marzipan cake glazed with molasses and honey.

Fortunately, the game has a bright solid multiplayer mode, which despite the fact that the per now suffers from some technical weaknesses, should fit in a dictionary as the definition for fun. Here is everything you loved its predecessor for, plus a lot extra. Then it goes without saying that there are a lot of fun to be had in the late night hours."

Sorry the story sucks!
Very good set piece though.......

Hype! game is Hype!.....

Multiplayer still fun though, but the same!

I totally agree with you man. I loved the first MW and I think it's better than MW2. I bought into the hype and to me this game sucked balls. Tech sucked, graphics sucked, story sucked, lengh sucked AND it's got bugs plus it the same old shiat. I had the same feeling playing it as I had when I played world at war. It was cool and everything but despite all the ra ra explosions I was bored to hell, like the game had no character, no life and charm. IGN and other high profile reviewers sold out man. 10 for graphics you got to be kidding me. This can't hold a candle to Killzone2, let alone Uncharted2. This score is more indicative of the actual game. I would give it a solid 8.5. NO way is this game much above 9.

I read somewhere infinity ward turned down more money to develop this game from activision and it shows. Time to show if you have any talent outside of war shooters IW!

I never liked MW1 and may pick up MW2 for multiplayer as 3 of my friends are MW addicts.

I however was into KZ2, while obviously the young 360 crowd are Halo gamers.

To me there isn't enough difference between Halo, Killzone 2, MW1, MW2, Bad Company, W@W to justify all of them to be above 8 in a review score.

Killzone 2 is the 1 I would think should be a 8.5 as its got the best graphics and innovates with the FPS cover system, but I still expect more.

I was doing what I can in all of those games in Goldeneye.

I usually check out their other reviews of previous games to see weather or not we're on the same page...

"There is no nice way of saying this, but MW2 is painfully short."

This I definitely agree with. I can't stand short campaigns, since I'm still not into that online multiplayer stuff... so okay, 8/10 is agreeable because of that reason alone, otherwise i'd give it a 9.0-9.5/10 if it were 12-15hrs.

But Killzone 2's review... Brutal, a little disgusting... I Completely disagree with this guy on this one. a 6/10?!?!? I'd give it a solid 9/10.

Finely, a true reviewer who not hype about this game what the most reviewers do.

dachiefsman5305d ago

I played the story through first, and I had 3 WTF moments....which was awesome in my opinion and this game deserves a 10/10.

i just started MP which is just as good or better than COD4.

Lazard5305d ago

The Killzone 2 review was not written by Spillverket, but by Gamer.no. This is because the two sites used to be the same, but Gamer split -- but all their articles was left behind. Gamer, as you might recall, also gave Uncharted 2 an 7/10.

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.

fr0sty284d ago (Edited 284d 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 !

jznrpg284d 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.
