By far the Game of the Year!! Graphics are stunning. Gameplay is Flawless. The only draw on this game is in multiplayer. One cannot have a party chat while playing the multiplayer. Buy this game and become one of the over 5 million who have played MW2.
What's great about it: The campaign and multiplayer are excellent.
What's not so great: The campaign is not worth playing unless on veteran status. Anything less is too easy to beat.

This is a great game! I don't have a very great TV at my house, but the graphics are great anyway. I had COD 5 and I figured that this would be great. Its beyond that. So many improvements, like the graphics, campaign is better, and the multiplayer has so many new things like Death Streak perks, choosable kill streaks, a choice of emblems including ALOT of brand new ones, and nickname sort of things. There are also more choices for secondary weapons, and new cool perks. Overall, great game!!!!!!
What's great about it: Great graphics, good campaign, good mulitplayer

I wouldn't recommend this game if your not going to play multiplayer, because then it would be a horrible waste of money. The storyline was a disappointment for me. It was just ridiculous how enemies just kept coming and coming out of no where and it was just non-stop shooting. It got very annoying half way through the campaign. I won't even take time to bother with reviewing special ops mode because its just a big joke! The creators could have created something really cool with that, like a different storyline and missions with let's say, the Navy SEALS, but instead it was like some cheap and boring arcade mode with stupid missions. The multiplayer however, is amazing in my opinion. Much better than the previous games. The maps are great and well designed. The new Callsign/Title feature is a nice way to customize your profile. And the weapons and the different attachments are very cool. The multiplayer of Modern Warfare is what really saved this game from being a disaster.
What's great about it: Multiplayer and all of the new features

this is deffinatley the best warfare game out there the multiplayer is really fun and addicting its fun and you get to pick what guns you want to start with via custom classes and you can also have claymores,c4 and other type of equiptment avaible there are also lots of good maps out with the game and they have more on the way the campaign is really good and it has lots of really epic moments but it is really short campaign like your looking at about 7 hours on vetern difficulty and about 4 hours on normal difficulty spec ops is just like halo firefight or gears of wars horde which in my opion they all are boring and not much fun but if you like horde and firefight you would probley like spec ops the main differnce is that it is only 2 player co-op oposed to like 4 player co-op.this game could deffinatly be game of the year the multiplayer is great it puts halo 3 to shame.
What's great about it: Multiplayer,Graphics,Replay value
What's not so great: Campaign is really good but very short ,spec ops gets boring

If you like COD MW and COD WAW then COD MW2 is your perfect match yet again! Despite some minor tweaks and online bug fixes, the overall game play experience has been satisfying.
What's great about it: Maintains the classic COD feel..
What's not so great: Lacks diversity in the menus and weapons categories..

Wow! How could infinity ward match the last COD4.. Well they answered with the perfect response, that is modern warfare 2. the single player mode is a bit to short for my liking, It's only about 6 hours of actual playtime until the campaign is over, with different unlockables is does make it interesting to play it through multiple times on different difficulties. but be aware the VET mode is EXTREMLEY difficult.
Again they have fouind a way to make online play just as addictive as the last modern warfare, if not more addictive then the original. With many new perks, weapons, the online experience really never gets old. Automatic pistols, shotguns, FINALLY A MAGNUM! and all sorts of other modern weapons this game is HARD TO BEAT.
A MUST BUY!
What's great about it: Graphics, Weapon selection, New perks, ONLINE PLAY!!
What's not so great: Short Solo story line, wish is lasted longer

I see a lot of people on here complaining about the short campaign and such, when in reality Infinity Ward wasn't basing their focus on the campaign. Let's talk about it though, the first couple missions are enjoyable, sneaking through a blizzard to escape down a mountain on snow mobiles, pure awesome. After that you run into the controversial, hardly sensible airport mission, where somehow your involvement in helping a genocidal terrorist leader in slaughtering an airport full of innocent civilians will get you closer to eliminating him as a terrorist presence. My question is why not just kill him and his partners right then and there as you stand behind them with your LMG. But hey, you can skip this mission if you want. To be honest, I haven't finished the campaign yet. I've had the game since midnight release and upon playing the ridiculous missions that require no tactical gameplay at all, and just random, ridiculous firefights, I straight up quit playing the campaign.
Okay, enough about that. The multiplayer, for lack of a better word, is epic.. in the most part. Easily one of the best multiplayer experiences ever created. There is a couple problems though that anyone that plays could tell you about. First off, the glitches. Yes, there is going to be glitches in every game, but upon release of the game there has only been one released patch and that didn't fix nearly half of them. Constantly being pulled into extremely large party private games such as free-for-all on rust, that count towards your statistics. The infinite ammo glitches. Many more. Next we can talk about some of the weapons. First example, the Model 1887's, these are the most unbalanced, ridiculous weapon placed in any shooter, ever. Secondly, you have precision shooting, where very often you will find an enemies exposing only their head, yet as you shoot them there (which should kill them), somehow you are hitting another part of their body. Last but not least, you have the fact that when you are playing a gametype with a full party, the server pulls certain members of your party out of the game, even when there is enough spots in the designated game.
The 2LDR version, basically there is alot of things in this game that are wrong, but can be patched, and hopefully will. If you can put up with the nonsense that is within this game long enough for happen, then I recommend buying it. Other than that, it's an amazing game.
What's great about it: Weapon customization, graphics

The game puts you in a situation everyone fears will eventually happen, A WAR WITH RUSSIA! The main campain is pretty straight forward, you go through missions and get achievements along the way. The Special Ops segment is very cool since it takes highlights from the game and allows you the opportunity to relive and master them. The online multiplayer is incredible and never lets you get bored. The fact that they have integrated experience points and level increases that lead to gun, accessories, and special ability unlocks means you will not become easily tired of the game. This is easily the best game I have ever played.
What's great about it: Great Concept
What's not so great: Sometimes I get a disc read error, and its not just on my xbox, my friend has the same issue.
