Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - First Impressions - IGN

IGN first-person shooter guru Stella Chung took a trip to Infinity Ward to get a first look at Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2022). She discusses her first impressions of both the single-player campaign and the multiplayer with IGN's Ryan McCaffrey.

Is it just me or do the characters look downgraded visually from Modern Warfare 2019?

How is that possible with the Series X/S and PlayStation 5 as well as PC leading the way?

I’m still hopeful the game will be great; but can’t understand for the life of me why the character graphics look weaker this go round.

I'd wait for actual gameplay. But yea I compared the reveal trailer mw 2019 and soap and price look kinda underdetailed. Bo4 was also a downgrade in visuals from bo3 so it's ofc possible with activision. I do wonder if the game will even be fine in content and polish considering covid and the activision buyout and allegations thats happened. And with all the big games thats been pushed back.
Well good news is, mw2 will be on steam for pc, so Ill get it on there and if the game is bad then I can just refund the game. But yea, time will tell. Im excited for the campaign so I can't wait to see soap and ghost in action again.

It’s cool, it’s really cool.
I mean it’s cool.
One thing I got to say it’s that it’s cool
You know what cod will be cool

I got to look at my notes…
It’s written : don’t forget to say it’s cool

It really comes across to me that Infinity Ward are extremely talented and can make top class videogames. Modern Warfare 2019 had some issues (multiplayer maps were quite poor, balancing, and they messed up Spec Ops terribly), but it really did feel like the devs put in a massive effort with real passion.

HOWEVER, no matter what their creative vision is, I feel like their intent will always be hobbled by Activision's desires to heavily monetise the game.

Infinity ward about to deliver another top tier fps. Talented devs unlike what’s happened at Dice. These are the only cod titles that matter.

i would have preferred a remaster of MW2 like they did with CoD 4 instead of making a new CoD and trying to use the MW2 name to sell it.

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.

PunksOnN4G264d 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!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood264d 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

PunksOnN4G264d 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

ManMarmalade264d ago

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

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.

StarkR3ality264d 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.

TheColbertinator263d ago

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

PunksOnN4G264d 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

andy85264d ago

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

Jin_Sakai264d ago (Edited 264d 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.

PunksOnN4G264d 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

peppeaccardo264d 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 !

jznrpg264d ago

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

anast264d ago

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