Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2
The new call of duty game is as violent as ever, sources say, but that is what kids like about it.
Modern Warfare 2 has received highly positive acclaim from professional reviewers, especially for its console versions. Review aggregator Metacritic holds the average review of the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game at 95% while the PC version is at 89%. Positive reviews cite a “compelling story mode, a slick package of mini missions and a multiplayer which is pretty much unparalleled in depth.”
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (also referred to as simply Modern Warfare 2) is a first-person shooter video game developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. Officially announced on February 11, 2009, the game was released worldwide on November 10, 2009. It is the sixth installment of the Call of Duty series and the direct sequel to
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, continuing along the same storyline.
Similar to previous installments within the Call of Duty series, the player assumes the role of various characters during the single-player campaign, changing perspectives throughout the procession of the story.
Each mission features a series of objectives that are displayed on the HUD, which marks the direction of and distance from said objectives. Tasks vary in their requirements, having the player arrive at a particular checkpoint, eliminate enemies in a specified location, stand his/her ground to defend an objective, or plant explosive charges on an enemy installation. The player is accompanied by friendly troops who cannot be issued orders. Laptop computers that contain enemy intelligence appear throughout the campaign and may be collected to unlock several game bonuses.
Mission settings in the game include Afghanistan, Rio de Janeiro, Siberia, and Washington D.C.
Criticisms of the game are directed towards a variety of aspects, but focus on the short length of the single player campaign. IGN’s Mark Bozon remarks, “Modern Warfare 2 is surprisingly short, and doesn’t live up to the standard set by previous Call of Duty games.” In addition, many reviewers have complained about the lack of innovation to the formula of the series.
According to preliminary sales figures from Activision, Modern Warfare 2 sold approximately 4.7 million units in both the United States and the United Kingdom at launch. The total revenue from first day sales in these two regions are at $310 million, making Modern Warfare 2 the biggest entertainment launch in history, beating Grand Theft Auto IV.
Rapper 50 Cent provided voice work for the Special Ops and multiplayer modes portraying “one of the squad voices.” On August 20, 2009, Robert Bowling revealed through Twitter that Kevin McKidd, Craig Fairbrass, Barry Pepper, Keith David, Glenn Morshower, were confirmed voice actors for the game. It was confirmed that McKidd would voice the protagonist, “Soap” MacTavish. Fairbrass, who voiced Gaz in Call of Duty 4, provided voice work for Ghost. Billy Murray confirmed that he would reprise his role as Captain Price from Call of Duty 4.
