Having purchased Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on the PS3 during Sainsburys’ £26 offer I am absolutely ecstatic! I’ve had the game now for a little over a week and I can certainly give anyone thinking of buying Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 a massive thumbs up! Go and buy it now!
The amount of pre-launch press attention and hype had me chomping at the bit for its release and it really did not disappoint one bit, and even exceeds my high expectations in certain areas.
The campaign mode features a variety of settings and some really epic cinematic sequences that really make you feel part of the action. On the default difficulty you can look forward to around 4-6 hours of game play, but crank this up to veteran difficulty and you can expect 20+ hours of frantic fire fly action.
Now onto the main reason I bought the game, the online multiplayer. Having played the original Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on the PC since its launch, the changeover to using a PS3 controller was quite challenging but well worth the effort. The new maps take a while to master, and as with me I am sure you will have your list of favourite maps that you like to play.
The challenges and XP ranking is all here and provides goals along the way that increase your available arsenal, there is nothing more satisfying than gaining a new rank and new perks.
Some nice animation touches like caged chickens and paper blowing in the wind add to the overall anticipation of battle and really does keep you on edge.
There is a new game mode this time around called “Spec Ops” which allows you to team up with a buddy in 2 player co-operative mode (either split screen or online) and complete a variety of challenging missions, the snowmobile race is a personal favourite.
Overall I cannot recommend this game enough. At £26 I got an absolute steal and will be playing this game for a long time to come. Go out and buy it now!
