4 out of 5 stars Great Game But Still Overrated   November 23, 2009

Its been two weeks now since I picked up Modern Warfare 2 and my opinion of the game has definately changed from my first week of play. Had I reviewed the game days after I got it my review would be filled with gushing praise for the incredibly exciting action packed campaign and the subtle alterations to the already classic multiplayer.
However a little more time with it and the cracks are definately beginning to show.

The single player campaign is great fun and although a little short at 6 hours every second is packed with edge of the seat action and it never drags. Having completed the previous COD4 on Veteran I decided to try the same with MW2. Its incredibly easy and nowhere near the challenge of its predecessor and definitley a dissapointment in this respect.

As good as the single player is the storyline and some of the situations are ridiculous. Now I'm not saying COD4 was realistic (I've never fought in a war I wont pretend to know), but it was believable, sometimes scarily so as in the Death From Above and All Ghillied Up missions. There is nothing here that ever touches the stark drama of those levels. If COD4 could be compared to a film like Black Hawk Down then MW2 is more akin to Michael Bay directing James Bond. These are minor complaints though of an overall fantastic campaign.

The biggest problem I have is with the multiplayer. The new killstreak rewards, the incredibly large maps and the new overpowering weapons and attachments have ruined the perfect balance of COD4. The levels favour long range weapons and have made running and gunning almost impossible. Each map has hundreds of hiding places that favour snipers(who I dont mind) and campers(who shall have a special place in hell just for them). Where once the game was simply about learning the maps, being cunning, second guessing the ememy and generally being a good shot, the Killstreak Rewards have turned it into a near constant parade of choppers, jets and crouching in corners with briefcase laptops.

The simple pleasure of the hunt and being hunted is gone. In general the game is geared towards the newcomer as much as the veteran and has simply taken away the need for the kind of skill that used to win matches. I've played it for a total of 24 hours so its not just a case of me not being used to the changes. The frustration it causes has ended that need for "just one more match".

Overall I think taken on its own merits Modern Warfare 2 is a great game, but it definately sits in the shadow of its predecessor.




4 out of 5 stars Modern Warfare 2 - Good but ...   June 8, 2010

Like the title suggests, this game is very good however the on line component is so unbalanced it makes it almost not worth bothering with, even though the on line play is what the games hook is. Honestly I think new buyers would be better off purchasing modern warfare 1 which is far better and if they like that then they should try this.

Overall this is a good game in all but there are better on line shooters like the original modern warfare and battlefield bad company 2.
