Bad:- Costs more, has fewer multiplayer features than other PC shooters
-
Campaign is short
-
Plot is muddled and inelegant.
As one of the most critically acclaimed shooters of all time, Call of
Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a prime example of a tough act to follow.
Yet, amidst a raging storm of anticipation and expectation, Call of
Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has done it. The new campaign is chock-full of
intense action and dramatic moments, and though it is more muddled than
its predecessor (in more ways than one), it's still an absolute blast.
The new Special Ops mode allows you to experience some
campaign-inspired thrills with a friend and it's an engaging challenge
to coordinate your maneuvers and tackle the varied objectives. Last but
not least, the competitive multiplayer that took the online shooter
community by storm two years ago is back. Though the addictive action
remains the same at its core, there are a host of new elements that
make matches more accessible, more strategic, and more rewarding.
Unfortunately, these improvements are marred by limited online
flexibility that may leave the PC shooter community out in the cold.
