Koku Gamer - Modern Warfare 2 Review

Koku Gamer writes: "Modern Warfare 2 takes place five years after the original Modern Warfare, and focuses on the consequences of the victory achieved. From the ashes of the previous war comes hatred and bitterness from those once deemed allies. "Soap" MacTavish returns, but this time in the third person. He is your veteran captain that will direct your unthinking ass around skirmishes and battles ranging from the awesome to the downright ridiculous. A couple of privates in the American army also play a part in the story, but they are more for perspective than furthering of the plot."

Yeah, I just can't help but feel that something is missing here. Great title, but not AS great as the first.

UNCyrus5304d ago

Finally an honest review of this game... Good job KokuGamer!

beans5304d ago

Yeah and I'm sure if KOKU would have rated this game a 10/10 they would have been the worst site ever.

Bathyj5304d ago

Well Beans, people/websites should be judged by their actions, so yeah, if they had given this good, not great game a 10 they would have dropped in my opinion.

It's unfortunate that yet another CoD game comes out where it's extra modes (Zombies in WaW, Spec Ops in MW2) outshine the main product for me. That said, I will enjoy Spec Ops for a long time to come!

facepalm5304d ago

I actually agree with the review for the most part... I just kept on having the feeling that this game was missing a certain something that propelled the first one.

Indeed, while I am addicted to this game like a punk and have played all modes and LOVE SpecOps and Singleplayer, I just think like the reviewer states Admir at least that it is over done in multiplayer.

A HiFi5304d ago

While having not played the game, from what I have heard of the game...this seems like an accurate score. Fair reviews too. Shame the mainstream media couldn't be as brave...

JoeyC5304d ago (Edited 5304d ago )

I think the multiplayer is better than COD4, and spec ops is awesome...but the single player in terms of the story was a mess. Its like they had to add some ridiculous twist and shock you every hour.

Ziriux5304d ago

SpecOps is a gem in gameplay of video games, I love how well it was done. A lot of variety, challenging at higher levels and great for a team of two.

Andrew Wiggin5304d ago

I wish I could agree. I feel that MW2 is immensely better than the first.

Ziriux5304d ago

Yea, the sinpleplayer and specops addition indeed.

TheDarkCynic5304d ago

No Andrew, by all means disagree. I'm glad that people were able to like it more than the first. It's just these certain things that nagged at me the whole time, that I couldn't overlook. To each his own!

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

ManMarmalade285d 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.

StarkR3ality285d 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

PunksOnN4G285d 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.

anast285d ago

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