Modern Warfare 2 – A game I like

Modern Warfare 2 has been recognized by many organizations as the best first person shooter/multiplayer game of 2009, and I completely agree with this comment. Not only have I played this game on the pc, but on the Xbox as well and both times I have had an amazing experience each time.

The game play works just as it should, the character responding to your commands through the controller, and others reacting to the effects of what your character does. For example in one of the first levels you are required to climb up an ice wall, infiltrate a base, and steal a piece of technology. The first section of climbing the wall has you using ice picks and those are controlled though alternating buttons on the controller, and the environment adjusting to the inputs (for example, if you wait too long, or let go of both buttons, you fall or the ice gives way) Other than that in the level you are faced with choices to hide or fight for survival, and challenged in this way.

The sound in modern warfare is mostly music, that plays to the mood of what is happening at the current moment in the game. For instance quiet and slow when you are sneaking about or loud and fast when you are in a moment of action. The music itself was great, and the sound effects (than can be heard perfectly with a set of headphones) are extremely helpful in adding realism.

The AI in the game (which is only presented in the campaign and spec ops options) is as it always has been in call of duty games and as you get to the higher difficulties, become extremely intelligent and is able to predict your movements, and even set up defenses to stop you from continuing on.

Overall these are the main things that can be presented, as most of what makes it an amazing game lies in the multiplayer experience and therefore is presented and controlled through other players. But overall this is a very good game with many key driving forces towards giving it that title.
