Modern Warfare 2 is a first-person shooter and the
sixth entry in the popular Call of Duty series. True to its name
and following the lead of its predecessor, Call of Duty: Modern
Warfare, it places players in modern combat settings, as sed
to the WWII environments of the earlier Call of Duty games. This
modern approach brings with it new weapons, action and options.
Coupled with a variety of gameplay modes including single player,
multiplayer and the co-op Special Ops Mode, it is destined to be
one of the most popular games of 2009 and a worthy addition to
the Call of Duty series. .caption { font-family: Verdana,

. Story
The storyline of Modern Warfare 2 picks up where the events of
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare left off. The ultranationalist
Russian leader Zakhaev has been eliminated, but it seems that his
lieutenant, Vladimir Makarov, is an even bigger danger. Having
made a successful play for power, Intel indicates that he is
extending the reach of his influence well beyond the borders of
Mother Russia, causing a stir in the international community and
prompting the involvement of Task Force 141. Task Force 141 is an
elite multinational unit made up of Navy Seals, Delta Force
operatives, British SAS and CIA. In the single player campaign
you are Sergeant Gary "Roach" Sanderson, with the hero of Call of
Duty 4, "Soap" MacTavish, promoted to Captain, making an
appearance as an NPC (non-player character) and your commanding
officer. The elimination of Makarov and his underlings at any
cost is your number one priority, regardless where the fight
occurs.
Gameplay
The latest release in arguably the most successful
first-person shooter franchise of all-time, gameplay in Modern
Warfare 2 follows the same winning and time-tested structure of
earlier games in the series. In the single player campaign
players are aided by AI squad members as they take on a series of
missions ed at eliminating Ultranationalist forces. Each
mission is built around a particular objective, with players
utilizing some level of guidance from NPC characters, including
"Soap" MacTavish, and aided in navigation by the game's heads up
display (HUD). Along the way players will be able to utilize a
wide variety of weaponry and and vehicles, as well as be able to
customize weapons with gadgets attached to them.
Also, just as in previous games in the series, Modern Warfare 2
is heavily focused on multiplayer gameplay. The different
multiplayer modes, available both in local play and online,
contain plenty of customization options and revolve around
different strategies ranging from the every man for himself
action of "Free-for All," the classic team-based fun of "Capture
the and the , team-oriented action of "Search and
Destroy," just to name a few. Multiplayer modes also feature the
"Perk" System that players may be familiar with from earlier in
the franchise. Through this system players gain additional
abilities, weapons and benefits as they gain experience in
combat. This can be done by leveling up, but another important
way way is through "kill streaks," the number of enemies
eliminated in succession. These are available beginning with
three kills and include the ability to call for supply drops,
predator missile strikes, helicopter ships and many more.
Players have the ability to customize in advance which perks will
be available at each number and can even gauge their progress
towards each at the touch of a button. With an eye towards not
making the game too hard for new players the game also features
help to players experiencing "death streaks," multiple
consecutive deaths in multiplayer matches.
Special Ops Co-op Mode
Along with a single player mode and multiple multiplayer modes,
Modern Warfare 2 also features an unique third main play option,
Special Ops Mode. Available both online and in local play,
Special Ops Mode is designed to provide a distinct time-based
play option, featuring special scenarios not found in other modes
in the game and lots of enemies to take on. This mode can be
played either alone or with a friend, again either locally or
online, with local co-op play including split-screen
functionality.
