Manufacturer's Description
The call of duty needs answering once again, as the blockbusting first person shooter series returns to the modern day. A direct sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, you now play new character Sgt Gary "Roach" Sanderson. Your commander is "Soap" from the first game as you join a multinational anti-terrorist squad out to stop Russian ultra nationalists.
After working on Medal of Honor: Allied Assault for EA, Infinity Ward's first game as their own company was fellow World War II title Call of Duty. Since then the California company has never had time to do anything else, as the ongoing series has become one of the best-selling of all time.
 Watch your squad grow from inexperienced rookies to veteran warriors |
 A snowmobile race is just one of the new vehicle sections |
 Modern Warfare 2 is a direct sequel to Call of Duty 4 |
 You'll journey all around the world in the fight against terrorism |
The story mode features an even more varied series of locales than before, including a snowbound mission that starts with a daredevil mountain climb and ends with a high speed snowmobile chase as you make your escape. With other levels set in Afghanistan, Rio de Janeiro and even underwater this has more action than a dozen Hollywood blockbusters.
But that's just the single player mode - the multiplayer is even more ground-breaking than before, with new co-op options and even more rewards and perks for competitive play.
Key Features- Call of Warfare - Stunning cinematic action, including new underwater missions, new gadgets such as the motion detector and new vehicles including snowmobiles and more.
- Rough guide - Massive globe-spanning adventure sees you travelling to the deserts of Afghanistan, the slums of Rio de Janerio and the wilderness of Russia.
- Bigger world - New larger levels allow you to tackle missions however you want: will you try a frontal assault or a more stealthy approach from another angle?
- Special co-op - New Special Ops mode will introduce two player co-operative play for the first time, in a series of non-story missions.
- Be the best - Competitive multiplayer is even bigger and better than before, with new kill streak rewards that unlock everything from supply drops to a AC-130 gunship attack.

Platform for Display:Xbox 360|Edition:Special Edition
Fun:
The original Call of Duty4: Modern Warfare was arguably the best first person shooter on the Xbox360 and possibly the best shooter ever made. The pressure was certainly on developers Infinity Ward - how to top one of the most popular games on the current generation of consoles. What they did was serve up more of the same, only looking better than ever and introducing more depth, including a co-operative mode.
It's CoD4 as you know and love: the single player campaign is great, clocking in at about five or six hours and delivering great set-pieces that range from the caves of Afghanistan to suburban North America, from oil rigs and snow bases to the Whitehouse itself and referencing along the way some action films such as the snow mobile chase of Die Hard 2 and the shower shoot-out of The Rock. The 'story', such as it is, is told with the now-familiar device of the dual parallel narrative, British and American. The graphics are outstanding, the motion capture perfect, the levels varied, the sound and voice acting absolutely spot-on.
However, as is the case with CoD, you come for the single player campaign but you stay for the multiplayer. Safe to say, the multiplayer is even better on this than CoD4, which was almost perfection. There are more weapons, more customisation, more perks, more depth in levelling up, bigger maps, more detail - yes, more is more here and it's outstanding. The multiplayer detail is as good as the original CoD4 single player game.
The biggest new addition would have to be Special Operations mode. That's a co-operative game (online or system link/split screen) where yourself and another player have to complete a certain objective, such as holding out in a siege scenario or clearing out a location. This feature is perfectly well balanced and a great new aspect to the Call of Duty franchise.
At it's heart, Modern Warfare2 is still a Call of Duty game and it's unlikely to win any converts from the nay-sayers, who decry it as an on-rails, whack-a-mole, run and gun game. It is all these things but that's not a bad thing in itself and when compared to the mediocre, half-finished rubbish that was Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, Infinity Ward have established with Modern Warfare2 the bench mark for all future first person shooters. This game is almost perfection.
The Hardened Edition comes with a code to download the complete original version of Call of Duty in high definition (also by Infinity Ward), featuring almost two dozen levels, with online multiplayer functionality. This is a great game when you fancy some retro warfare. All told, an excellent package.

Fun:
This game is soo cutting edge, so amazing that I spent most of it with my jaw open down to my feet and drooling enough to fill a small lake.
This game has some of the best plot follow-ons to Modern Warfare, and the multiplayer really IS all it's made out to be
just buy it and you will never look back. although I wouldn't advise it for small thirteen year old liverpudlians because I don't need more of them yelling in my ear you little buggers!
The artwork book isn't actually that big at all but what's inside is really really cool. I haven't downloaded my Call of Duty 1 token yet but that's because I'm trying to save memory.

MW1 or MW2?

Plain awful...
This game is the inferior follow up to Cod4, totally unbalanced and a rushed development game. Play cod4, its better online and offline. MW2 is just plain frustrating and awful. Read more
