COD : Modern Warfare 2 review...better late than never

Sorry for keeping all of you guys waiting for so long. I haven't been very active for the last 6 months but I promise to keep this blog updated from now on.

So here's my latest post in six months.

If you haven't been sleeping for a long, long time you might have played the latest game in the Call Of Duty franchise. Modern Warfare 2 is not only famous because of it being the best COD game ever but also because it holds the record for the highest first-day revenue in the field of entertainment. It grossed a whopping $310 million in first-day sales beating The Dark Knight which was the previous holder.

How did it do this? Well, that's because of the extreme amount of hype that came with the announcement of Modern Warfare 2. When the preorders were online, people flocked to book their copy of Modern Warfare 2 and that alone made almost 60% of the first-day revenue. Thankfully, the game lived up to the hype.

Some of the guys who played Call Of Duty 4 might have noticed that the bad guy introduced in-game didn't show up. Well, here's where you'll finally face-off. The name's Vladimir Makarov. He's a lieutenant of Zakhaev. That's all I'm gonna tell you about him.

There haven't been many changes in the gameplay system in Modern Warfare 2, which is a good thing because I haven't seen better gameplay in any other shooter game I've played.

I don't need to say a lot about the visual in this game, do I? You'll get a sense of just how far the improved game-engine has gone at first glance, when you're thrown into the crowded streets of Rio de Janeiro, the dusty alleys of Afghanistan, the ice-capped mountain ranges in Kazakhstan, and other unconventional locales. Modern Warfare 2 is an obvious step up over Call of Duty 4 and World at War, with a stronger emphasis on complex terrain in the environs and weather effects. A lot of work has been done with respect to surroundings. Destructible objects, and the overall sense of action and chaos have been awesomely incorporated in the game-design.

Of course, they did get one thing wrong. The single-player campaign was shorter than expected. I completed the game in normal difficulty in just over 5 and a half hours. Some other gamers could do this in 5 hours only.

So overall, the game is awesome. Worth buying if you ask me. If you're still having doubts, you can signup here to rent COD Modern Warfare 2 to try it.
