Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Reveiw

Oh my god…Was this awesome. Modern Warfare 2 is one game I stood in line for at midnight, I was 6th in line and I got my free poster. I rushed home as quickly as I could popped it in got my mountain dew and played through the first three single player levels.  I then fell asleep for about 2 hrs and continued playing until noon when I beat single player. After that I worked on the multiplayer portion reaching rank 22 before finnaly my controllers died. I was enthralled.

Single player is awesome over the top experience with all kinds of sections that make the game you really need to experience go out and buy the game if you haven’t already.

Multiplayer is too new to really make a judgement but everything including the kitchen sink has been thrown in. I love it i’m now rank 26 and still everything feels new. I haven’t even touched most of the guns i’ve unlocked. Enough about that you want a reveiw so here it is.

Single player is full of scripted events filled with action packed context sensitive sequences. It involves you as a soldier in a time of crisis. World War 3…suddenly after an assault on an airport with a downed american soldier the russians are crying for blood. Makarov the prophet behind Zackayev has put together the events that start world war 3. And so goes journey through virginia and burger town all the way east to our nations capitol Washington D.C. however, Makarov doesn’t like that your in Washington and decides to nuke it. So now everythings been E.M.P.’ed and no electronics or communications work…except for in one area. The White House.

Meanwhile an old friend is found in some russian gulag and he goes batshit crazy on a revenge quest that results in one of the most awesome endings to a video game ever…albeit a tad far fetched.

*Update, I just played through the co-op campaign a bit…and let me say it’s awesome they didn’t even have to throw this in…it’s a whole ‘nother game with enough content to keep me busy for a month. It revolves around completing special challanges alone or with a friend…such as hold off a wave of enemy assaults…and no 2 are alike. Plus there are seperate maps in these that are not seen anywhere else.

Multiplayer…

Its fucking call of duty…go play it.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is MY game of the year. Simply because it’s awesome…I got my bang for my buck…A game that I can spend 40Hrs on and not finish everything. Plus…Cpt Price.

Modern Warfare 2 Leak and Interactive media.

If your a gamer you must be excited for Modern Warfare 2, now while im not saying its the be all end all of gaming. Its still a freaking sweet franchise by an amazing developer infinity ward. Even if some of their moves as of late were albeit a bit questionable.

Today there was a new modern warfare 2 leak that shows a bunch of people being gunned down in an airport by what I assume is Russians. They look like mobsters with military grade weaponry. Infinity Ward and Activision are working together to remove all videos of the leak.

Do you think that infinity ward is going too far. I think not, even in this post 911 world people need to lighten up. America isn’t the untouchable be all end all, I love my country but our snarky attitude towards the rest of the world needs to lighten up when it comes to media. Modern Warfare 2 itself is looking like it will be definitely controversial in the sense of you maybe playing a bad guy, and the fact that the war seems to have come to American soil.

Personally I can’t wait for this game but I hope that the media backlash isn’t so terrible… I mean if modern warfare 2 were a book or a movie, it probably wouldn’t have any backlash at all. The problem is that we are the new “interactive” media. And by traditional sense the media has never been…Interactive.
