Modern Warfare 2 is amazing. The campaign is absolutely phenomenal. I could play almost any level again and enjoy it whereas on CoD4 I finished the campaign and that was it. Not that thrilling. The Spec Ops mode is fun to do when you have a friend over and can offer a challenge at times. Multiplayer however, is overall a great gaming experience. It is a lot more difficult than CoD4 and it helps a person get better and find special tactics on maps. The guns are overall great. The point system is awesome. So many different ways to rank up and also enjoy the game. The maps are either amazing or bad in my opinion. But thats just my personal preference yours might be different, but the spawn system is terrible. Half of the time I see myself re-spawn when I die in a Team Deathmatch Game. Also, since I'm more of a sniper player in shooters, the snipers could be much better. The sniper rifles in a regular game do not get a kill unless the shot is to the upper chest/head, and at times that shot can be difficult. But it is still strange when one of the worlds most powerful guns(the .50 cal) does not kill to a shot to the stomach....
Overall it's a great game. I'd recommend it to any casual or hardcore gamer.
What's great about it: the campaign!, spec ops, MP experience
