![]() ![]() While it was a welcome addition to Call of Duty, and MW2 developer Infinity Wards response to Treyarchs World at Wars zombies mode and the MASSIVE success that was, it still pales in comparison to Zombies in my opinion, but Infinity Ward would go on to perfect spec ops in Modern Warfare 3. For each mission you do well on you get 1-3 stars that let you unlock more missions until you reach the max of 69 (noice) stars. Spec ops is an entertaining bunch of missions that can be done solo or coop with a friend, that have you completing objectives during certain moments from the campaign. It's a short campaign compared to other Call of Dutys, but it's a campaign that's so memorable people still remember moments like General Shepherds betrayal, storming the White House, the No Russian mission, and RAMIREZ WE HAVE TO DEFEND THE BURGER TOWN!!!!! to this day. The whole game revolves around Soap MacTavish and later Captain Price, returning faces from CoD 4, to find and kill Makarov and end the war, all while also experiencing the game from the perspective of American troops fighting for their lives in a Washington D.C. Now you've got the added bonus of a war between Russia and America over a massacre at a Moscow airport perpetrated by the main villain of Modern Warfare, Makarov who made it look like it was an attack by Americans. ![]() The campaign holds up beautifully, continuing 5 years after the events of Call of Duty 4 and throwing you into a world even more riddled with terrorists and traitors at every corner than in CoD 4. Campaign and Spec Ops wise though, MW2 is very much playable, and still as good as it was almost 13 years ago. Back when all the kids in school wouldn't shut up for days about their KDs and quickscope trickshots and everybody wanting to be like Ghost.įast forward to present day 2022, MW2 may be a shell of its old self online with all the hackers on all platforms and the infamous RCE exploit on PC that LITERALLY LETS PEOPLE BACKDOOR HACK INTO YOUR PC (DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME ONLINE WITHOUT USING A CERTAIN PROGRAM WITH A "4" IN ITS NAME OR YOUR PC IS IN HUGE DANGER). Where do I even start with Modern Warfare 2, this game, along with Black Ops 1 were GIGANTIC to the gaming industry back in a time when flip phones were still relevant, midnight releases for games at a local Gamestop had long lines that stretched to the end of their shopping centers, and YouTube was a place to watch prerecorded videos of people playing MW2, Halo 3, or Battlefield Bad Company 2 on ole' Machinima (Seananners, Hutch, ONLYUSEmeBLADE, WoodysGamertag etc.). While my total playtime on Steam may look short, believe me when I say I've put in hundreds of hours into this ABSOLUTE BEAST of a game back in my early teenage years from 2010-2013 on my Xbox 360 and PS3, or as I like to call it "The Golden Age of Gaming." ![]()
