Yahoo review Modern Warfare 2

Yahoo: When Infinity Ward moved their flagship first person shooter title, Call of Duty, from its traditional World War II setting to more contemporary battlefields, they not only rebooted the series but also the entire genre. Stylish and inventive in equal parts, Modern Warfare captured and exaggerated the fire and bombast of modern warfare in an irresistible way. For this, undoubtedly the most widely anticipated sequel of the year, the developer has primarily built upon the first game's successes rather than attempting to reinvent them, a wise decision that pays off handsomely.

I haven't been all that excited for this game over the last while. I know it's going to be great. I'd be lying though if I said I wasn't comtemplating running down to buy it as soon as. Gotta admit seeing all my friends getting excited and planning mad sessions of it, really makes me want to be a part of it too.

BaSeBaLlKiD7215273d ago

You should get it especially if you liked COD4. I got the game on Sunday and have been playing it online obsessively.

monkey6025273d ago

I loved COD4, Hated W@W though. Worst of all I'm extremely fed up of the military FPS genre but the game looks good and as I said I really want to be able to have fun on it with my friends. At the end of it all that is what gaming is about, not these BS politics going on lately

Noctis Aftermath5273d ago

5/5 i smell a payed-for review.

BaSeBaLlKiD7215273d ago (Edited 5273d ago )

oh damn... Why did I get 5 disagrees for showing my interest with the game? Am I not allowed to have fun with the game?

and by the way Killzone 2 still is my #1 FPS this generation

mugoldeneagle035273d ago

That's exactly the reason I'll be purchasing MW2. I get that IW screwed the PC community, I get that they made poor choices in marketing, and I get that some people don't like the idea of "COD4 1.5", but after getting laid off from my job and not being able to find work might budget is extremely tight and I'm going to want to play games that my friends will play the most, and I know at least 20-30+ people buying MW2.

And even if it is "COD4 1.5", COD4 was one of the best shooters I've played this generation, probably my most played shooter since SOCOM II. So I'll be looking forward to it.

5/5? With PS2-like graphics?

mintaro5273d ago

You must've had the most powerful PS2 on the planet.

sukru5273d ago

Can you name one game on the PS2 that has comparable graphics to MW2?

theEnemy5273d ago

CoD:MW2's graphic ain't no Killzone 2 or Uncharted 2 in the graphics department but saying it's has a PS2-like graphics? You're just plain stupid if you are serious about that.

NecrumSlavery5273d ago

5/5 are fair scores for this game, but any 10/10, 100/100, or A+ shouldn't be taken the same. MW2 isn't perfect. But to avoid the "MW2 vs Uncharted 2" shenanigans, I'll say whatever. Yet another fanboy war will rage. I am planning on picking this up for PS3, but don't forget all the good games out there. And Killzone 2 is still the best shooter of 2009.

chrisulloa5273d ago

KZ2 isn't the best shooter of 2009, I promise.

talltony5273d ago

Halo odst isn't the best shooter of 2009, I promise.

Anyways killzone is just a different flavor than mw2. Mw2 is more of a twitch shooter and killzone 2 is more tactical.

NecrumSlavery5273d ago

No Killzone 2 is the best shooter of this year, but like said...it is much different. One is a light floaty gun, chapter based, fast paced FPS,...while the other is slower, more epic war driven, tactical, but with bigger set pieces and team themed online. Oh and stellar visuals you can't find on any other console shooter.

ReviewsArePolitics5273d ago

"KZ2 isn't the best shooter of 2009, I promise. "

1. You didn't play it
2. I still agree because Uncharted 2 is the best shooter for 2009

Here's the industry double standards.

Everything that is flawed about this game, is overlooked, and it's given a 5/5 or a 10/10.

Why should the video game industry be taken seriously like this?

ZombieNinjaPanda5273d ago

@Mintaro

Obviously in this article, the reviewer wasn't even able to bring it upon himself to give us a real review and list any flaws of the game, but I've read many of the reviews, listing several flaws of the game, (longevity being an example that pops to head instantly).

Yet even with negatives such as this, this game gets 10/10 easy. Other games of the same genre however, get a full point deduction for longevity.

mintaro5273d ago (Edited 5273d ago )

If you're talking about the single player longevity you may have a point, although it may be one of the rare cases where the length is just the right amount for the story, such as the case with heavenly sword.

My point is it is really hard to look at flaws from someone else's point of view.
You really should play the game first before condemning it.

(I'm assuming you haven't)

DarK-SilV5273d ago (Edited 5273d ago )

the PC version Features wise is a flop,no need to ask,

peeps5273d ago

i've been fixed to online since i bought it earlier and as far as i can tell it deserves the praise it's been getting, and i'm only level 21 and not even touched the single player which i'm sure in true cod style will be epic.

also first map i played online was a remake of my fav map from the original Call of Duty :D :D :D

Killzone 2 kciks the living Bajesus outta Modern Milkfare 2.

if you want Flop after Flop and rehash of old games with crappy visuals consistantly and a hardware failure rate of a whopping 54%.. then the Xbox 360 is just for you.

But if you want a reliable console,TONS and TONS of AAA exclusives,better online community (no 10yr old crybabys like LIVE)
better UI (FYI the XMB won a emmy award back in 06,what has live won?)
better controls,no rehash garbage like 360.. then your best bet is the allmighty beast itself,PLAYSTATION 3.

JUMP OUT & PLAY B3YOND!

ambientFLIER5273d ago

What does that have to do with anything, when MW2 is also on the ps3?

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.

PunksOnN4G251d 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!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood251d 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

PunksOnN4G251d 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

ManMarmalade250d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

fr0sty251d ago (Edited 251d 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.

StarkR3ality251d 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.

TheColbertinator250d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G250d 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

andy85251d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai251d ago (Edited 251d 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.

PunksOnN4G251d 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

peppeaccardo251d 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 !

jznrpg251d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast250d ago

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