I'm about to play this game for the first time tomorrow, but the one thing I don't agree with in this review, was his comment on the story. This is a war game, its not a pretty story. Cool to play as a video game, but its still war, and nothing about this type of war can be glorified. I don't like that he thinks this takes away from the experience for the gamer. To me it shows that the game has an actual story of depth with has you exploring many different view points of war... be it good or bad. It was the same with the story of Spec Ops: The Line. A very good game to play, but at no point does it make war seem cool or heroic.
I used to play this game alot but sold my xbxo to buy a bmx bike. Im getting another xbox bcuz I recently broke my leg. SHould I get this game or COD 3?
agreed, gamers should appreciate every consoles or handhelds that gives them games, whether it's the 360, ps3, wii, or whatever, we shuld just be thankful they exist
which one's better, cod4 or mw2? mw2 doesnt have dedicated servers, does it auto-connect u to a suitable/low ping server? pls reply, i need to know these few aspects before buying this.
Actually, I don't have either console. It's just, you never ever hear anybody talking about "Wanna go play on PSN tonight?" It's always Live. You can't deny that.
I CANT WAIT FOR ANOTHER MODERN WARFARE! And if they keep the multilayer the same except for more weapons, add ons, perks, locations, I will be the happiest lad in the world.
Because Infinity Ward used to be the best and while they were making this game they put everything into they could. It's my favourite and I agree it's still the best looking COD. Everything from guns to detail in the environments.
@Telos41 I would recommend u buy BFBC2. The game is heavily based on teamwork. If u choose to not cooperate with ur team u will almost always be unsuccessful. I must say it is so much fun when u could join in to a random online match with random people who will actually work together. In MW2, the majority of players could care less about whether their team wins or loses. In MW2, too many people play selfishly in team games.
I would also give this gam a 9/10. The good: Fun ¨Single player, Awesome Spec ops, Great musics and characters, More weapons, Fun multiplayer, Awesome Special Ops mode you unlock after beating the Single player. The Bad, Short story, Way to overpowered guns in Multiplayer, Annoying killstreaks. Great game. Much better than Mw3.
@YapiKredi MW2 is a great game but the multiplayer have some issue like when the host leave it gonna pick another host and most of the time it fail and the game ends or it pick the worst host so everyone got 1 bar ping and also it takes a long time for the matchmaking to find a game (takes around 3 minutes)
Can someone be truthful and tell me wether to buy cod modern warfare 2 black ops or bad company 2 I'm talking about single player campaign perspective plz reply soon!!!
@JamsterTheOne ,Yes, and thats the reason why COD has a bigger audience . COD has always been that -pick up and play- game were all you need to do is point and shoot .And it works ...My first battlefield game was 1943 , and yes I got my ass kicked because , before battlefield all I ever played was MOH and COD . However I learned the controls and fell in love with the game . I am sure MW3 will be great , but I am sure I will enjoy BF3's Multiplayer more.
This is what I call COD4.5. Sure, it is different with a slightly different campaign, co-op, and small multiplayer changes, but it is ultimately the same game in many ways. That doesn't mean it is bad, but I wish that they improved on a few more parts of the game. Even so, Modern Warfare 2 is still a great FPS
@Reiincarnation I don't play MW2 for the multiplayer... Plus the multiplayer is balanced, and I do have fun on the rare occasion I play it. And you can't say it's the worst since it's opinionated... You only stated problems with multiplayer, single player and split screen in that game are badass. Either you've never played it, or it is not your genre of game. If you hate it so much, then what kind of game do you like? I'm curious.
Some problems with mw2 1. short story 2. online host migration 3. online lag 4. spec ops mode gets tiring 5. annoying fast deaths in online 6. no co-op story 7. its dissappointing that im a fps fan, and i wasnt happy or satisfied with myself yawning and throwing my controller in anger and bordem 8. the rpg kept on spiraling out of control 9.death perks kept making me angry and possibly more to come
@JamsterTheOne ,Yes BF is tactical...How is Mag tactical when BF is not?Acually , in many ways BF has more tactical fidelity than in Mag ...Meaning you have classes that can be interacted with eachother and you have to stradigize were you have to move your squad , and figure out how you are going to take that objective . So yes , BF is tactical.
CoD 4 MW: Was the best, best campaign and basic MP CoD MW2: Everything was awesome, but IW placed too many content and they forgot to balance it out, but still enjoyable. As for me it had the best graphics of all CoD's O.o CoD BO: Campaign was dark,weird and creepy, but Treyarch learning from MW2 improved MP...good MP CoD MW3: Campaign was actually good, but MP seems to be rushed, many new things added but lacks polish. But survival and the new spec ops missions were AWESOME.
i really love Black ops but the main problem i found was that you unlocked everything at the beginning. this makes it less frustrating to prestige but doe come with the fact that Leveling up isnt exciting anymore. hope MW3 will get rid of the Currency system tough
well all i can say is this is the best competitive game to date, gamebattles for this game is amazing. It would be cool if IW would add a team tactical with mlg variant gb rules, that would be sweet.
Thats a big ten four. I went online for call of duty 4: modern warfare and could still get games this was 2 months ago. That game came out when in 2006 AND YOU CAN STILL FIND GAMES!! Call of duty games never end. MW2 I spent just under 15 days online, the most I ever spent with a game. A month of my life (which is healthy). I saw a guy on killzone 2 I believe who spent the equivelent of 9 months online that is if he played for 12 hours per day everyday it would take him 9 months DISGUSTING
@JamsterTheOne,well , Bad company 2 was held at 30 FPS on consoles , and I sat in front of my T.V,and I didn't notice any framerate problems , so I think it will be a decent framerate for the game , when it has fully destructable environments , 24 players , a wide range of vehicals , gigantic maps , and the ANT and lighting animations . Hell Killzone 3 runs at 30 FPS , but that game is as smooth as baby skin with explosions . So I think Battlefield 3 will run just fine on consoles.
this game would be awesome IF 1. IW patched the overpowered killstreaks and perks. 2. Bigger maps so people won't spawnkill you. 3. fix the spawnsystem.
@JamsterTheOne ,more slow paced is what you say ....More TACTICAL is what I say .The reason why I like Battlefields Multiplaer better is because it requires stradigy and communication with the classes ...In COD's so called fast paced action , is twitching your fingers and whoever has the more OP gun is going to win the firefight .
WOW, what a game!!! After 2 hours of playing on my PS3 this evening, I feel like I need to be admitted into a VA Hospital for a serious case of battle fatique! The battles are so furious and frenetically realistic, they are every bit as stunning as the first 15 minutes of Saving Private Ryan. Now, where is my Purple Hear?
@Reiincarnation I'm not even a Call of Duty fan, but Modern Warfare 2 was the second best FPS game I have ever played. ...Timesplitters series is first. You can't beat Timesplitters, no matter how awesome MW2 is...
I really hope IW pulls it together and does something truly new and fresh and EXCITING again for the MP of Ghosts. MW2 imo has the best MP, aside from some balance issues the maps, guns and killstreaks are so much fun. I hope Ghosts comes back. There is always a curse on the third iteration of a product, so I'm slightly optimistic for Ghosts to come back and redefine MP as we know it. Although, I don't know how much of the Modern Warfare 2 team is left... :(
that's not always true. I have a very powerful pc that I use for editing and visual effects work but I'm getting the game for the ps3 because I'm just more comfortable with console gaming vs PC.
I loved Modern Warfare 2's Campaign and Special Ops a lot! I thought it was amazing, but multiplayer on the other hand is very flawed. Killstreaks ruined the game because people would go all out their way to get these killstreaks by camping, lag switching, and boosting!
Wow. You couldn't wait a few hours? I got mine at sainsburys at 7 in the morning. that was just 7 hours later than the midnight launch. so instead of waiting a few hours, you decided to pay like £15 - 20 more?
Yes i know what punctuation is. It is a mark that symbolizes a pause or expression you are supposed to use when you read the peice of writing. And what i ment was u can get red ring on brand new 360's as well and the ps3 is a better console for media and 360 is better for gaming. I say ps3 is better because i use alot of media not just games.
@JamsterTheOne ,I disagree . I think BF can be really fun when you are working as a team . Because when you win , in my oppinion you get a much more rewarding experience .
every one says that they're is nothing different in each of the cods. DO YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MW2 AND BLACK OPS. new time era, new damages of the guns and recoil as well. new maps, new guns. there are wager matches, zombies with new maps. they also removed a few things that made online feel much different. by that i mean stopping power,juggernaut, sniper nerf,noob toob nerf, no danger close. they do make a good difference. black ops wasnt really that fun though i have to admit.
He's complaining about the murky plot, but I think that darker plot twists are just awesome. For example, I loved the part in MW1 where you died of that nuke blast. :)
That's why I put Halo, Fear and Stalker because IMO they have better AI and Killzone 2 can even be considered. But COD games have been among the best in terms of AI (NOT THE BEST, but definetely top 5). If you played the game you would know taht the endless respawning has been fixed.
i wish i could go back to the day i first picked up MW2. OMG how i LOVED it!
Astonishing game. Absolutely breathtaking. Hell of a good work on this one.
I'm about to play this game for the first time tomorrow, but the one thing I don't agree with in this review, was his comment on the story.
This is a war game, its not a pretty story. Cool to play as a video game, but its still war, and nothing about this type of war can be glorified. I don't like that he thinks this takes away from the experience for the gamer. To me it shows that the game has an actual story of depth with has you exploring many different view points of war... be it good or bad.
It was the same with the story of Spec Ops: The Line. A very good game to play, but at no point does it make war seem cool or heroic.
Best MW game IMO.
Overall favorite Cod is Waw though.
Still lot of peeps online?
***** mw1 was fine but mw2 was more epic
no its overrated, but good. 2 is better
***** Same with World at War just as balanced and simple but with a better campaign, co op campaign, co op zombies and imo better multiplayer.
***** Very true. I see the game was a lot more balanced which is why more fans favor mw1 over mw2.
Still has better graphics than mw3
Still has better graphics than ghosts
Nicholas Provenzano you just like to say stupid shit even though it is super wrong yeah it sucked but it had better graphics than mw2
Soopersil3ntassasin Who the fuck are you
Nicholas Provenzano one of the millions of people who use youtube :)
Soopersil3ntassasin can't disagree with that
If anybody ever wanted to know what a good introduction for a paper sounds like, 0:00-1:10 is what you want. This guy's a fantastic writer.
God I remember watching reviews for this game back when it came out
RAMIREZ! USE THIS THROWING KNIFE TO TAKE OUT THAT TACTICAL NUKE!
I used to play this game alot but sold my xbxo to buy a bmx bike. Im getting another xbox bcuz I recently broke my leg. SHould I get this game or COD 3?
agreed, gamers should appreciate every consoles or handhelds that gives them games, whether it's the 360, ps3, wii, or whatever, we shuld just be thankful they exist
should i buy this for pc? i dont play alot of fps but this looks pretty cool. is this one of the best pc games to get?
This guy is a really good reviewer. Keep him Gamespot!
nice.. and sgt.foley? was it cpt. foley in the first COD?
@TheWorldsSounds It's during the gulag mission. That's Prisoner 627 - Captain Price.
Whats that music name at 4:22?
I heard it from the Enslaved review too o_O Anyone?
which one's better, cod4 or mw2? mw2 doesnt have dedicated servers, does it auto-connect u to a suitable/low ping server? pls reply, i need to know these few aspects before buying this.
Actually, I don't have either console. It's just, you never ever hear anybody talking about "Wanna go play on PSN tonight?" It's always Live. You can't deny that.
should i buy this cause i want to play all of the mw games and this is the only 1 i did nt play....is it worth the money..........
Chris Watters has the best reviews out of gamespot and ign, his vioce makes me keep engaged it freaks me out.
what is the name of the weapon that he is using in the multiplayer footage
@sawt32 what glitch? i havent used a javeling ina while cuz i prestiged(never doin it again btw)
The most addicting thing about This Game is the SPEC OP if you have Good Friends to play with and also the ONline if you have friends to play it wth.
Sniping is actually fun for me on MW2. I hate sniping in pretty much all other CoD's, but I'm addicted to it on MW2.
can some one PLEEAASE answer me: do you also have to buy map packs for the multiplayer (like WaW) PLZ answer!!!!
I CANT WAIT FOR ANOTHER MODERN WARFARE!
And if they keep the multilayer the same except for more weapons, add ons, perks, locations, I will be the happiest lad in the world.
The tactical insertion could be a real game changer in objective based game modes..... or just free-for-all
How long did it take for you to finish da game?
@aidenmccloskey what was average about the campaign?
Did anyone notice the reviewer said Makarov wrong?
I hope this can get a Remaster version.. because i dont think will ever see a new modern warfare game and that does suck.. here in 2017 baby!
I was impressed. the gameplay is smoother compared to the other CODs, the solved that issue. bigger environments too. real good fun
I remember this review man...time flies bros
is there a way to guard in this game? im new to COD
any tips, i completed mw2 before trophy patch now theres no trophies of completeion? any1 knw how i can get them bak?
@aminthemagician you have to buy the extra packs they released later
i have the same problem, i don't get some trophies after completing certain mission on veteran.
When do u get new killstreak???
Because Infinity Ward used to be the best and while they were making this game they put everything into they could. It's my favourite and I agree it's still the best looking COD. Everything from guns to detail in the environments.
I didn't know that the coop missions included splitscreen. The more I find out about this came the more I want to get it.
How many single player modes are there...?
@MultiKillerBot hey, can you show me(give me a link) of a review done by Alex Navaro please!
@deveousdevil What does "Black Ops" necessarily have to do with sniping?
@JamesBondHero the tweeky thing dosn't locate people it has all of makerovs info on it
@Telos41 I would recommend u buy BFBC2. The game is heavily based on teamwork. If u choose to not cooperate with ur team u will almost always be unsuccessful. I must say it is so much fun when u could join in to a random online match with random people who will actually work together. In MW2, the majority of players could care less about whether their team wins or loses. In MW2, too many people play selfishly in team games.
@Decoda26 it wasnt at first now was it?
just got a computer good enough and gunna get it tomorrow so freakin pumped!!!
Yeah, most of the people that worked on MW2 are now working on Titanfall.
I would also give this gam a 9/10.
The good: Fun ¨Single player, Awesome Spec ops, Great musics and characters, More weapons, Fun multiplayer, Awesome Special Ops mode you unlock after beating the Single player.
The Bad, Short story, Way to overpowered guns in Multiplayer, Annoying killstreaks.
Great game. Much better than Mw3.
Hopeful will be getting this some.
@YapiKredi MW2 is a great game but the multiplayer have some issue like when the host leave it gonna pick another host and most of the time it fail and the game ends or it pick the worst host so everyone got 1 bar ping and also it takes a long time for the matchmaking to find a game (takes around 3 minutes)
thank you, you are the only one who answered my question!!!
Can someone be truthful and tell me wether to buy cod modern warfare 2 black ops or bad company 2 I'm talking about single player campaign perspective plz reply soon!!!
what's your console ps3, xbox, pc?
@JamsterTheOne ,Yes, and thats the reason why COD has a bigger audience .

I normally play on PC...You have PC?
We can play on there too :)
@Reiincarnation I don't play MW2 for the multiplayer... Plus the multiplayer is balanced, and I do have fun on the rare occasion I play it.
And you can't say it's the worst since it's opinionated... You only stated problems with multiplayer, single player and split screen in that game are badass.

Some problems with mw2
1. short story
2. online host migration
3. online lag
4. spec ops mode gets tiring
5. annoying fast deaths in online
6. no co-op story
7. its dissappointing that im a fps fan, and i wasnt happy or satisfied with myself yawning and throwing my controller in anger and bordem
8. the rpg kept on spiraling out of control
9.death perks kept making me angry
and possibly more to come
What should i play this on, PS3 or 360???
@JamsterTheOne ,Yes BF is tactical...How is Mag tactical when BF is not?Acually , in many ways BF has more tactical fidelity than in Mag ...Meaning you have classes that can be interacted with eachother and you have to stradigize were you have to move your squad , and figure out how you are going to take that objective . So yes , BF is tactical.
@MrPineappleGuy What's battlefield three going to do that'll revolutionize things, it looks pretty generic to me.
Top 5 best COD Games.
1. Cod 4
2.Cod 2
3.Cod Waw
4.Cod 1 (Classic)
5.MW2
COD till MW3 was overall really good..
Cod 4 is boring. Mw2 is true call of duty. You were just garbage at the game.
CoD 4 MW: Was the best, best campaign and basic MP
CoD MW2: Everything was awesome, but IW placed too many content and they forgot to balance it out, but still enjoyable. As for me it had the best graphics of all CoD's O.o
CoD BO: Campaign was dark,weird and creepy, but Treyarch learning from MW2 improved MP...good MP
CoD MW3: Campaign was actually good, but MP seems to be rushed, many new things added but lacks polish. But survival and the new spec ops missions were AWESOME.
i really love Black ops but the main problem i found was that you unlocked everything at the beginning. this makes it less frustrating to prestige but doe come with the fact that Leveling up isnt exciting anymore. hope MW3 will get rid of the Currency system tough
I thnk thats the 2nd best review iv seen/read
well all i can say is this is the best competitive game to date, gamebattles for this game is amazing. It would be cool if IW would add a team tactical with mlg variant gb rules, that would be sweet.
Thats a big ten four. I went online for call of duty 4: modern warfare and could still get games this was 2 months ago. That game came out when in 2006 AND YOU CAN STILL FIND GAMES!!

I saw a guy on killzone 2 I believe who spent the equivelent of 9 months online that is if he played for 12 hours per day everyday it would take him 9 months DISGUSTING
James Cage you don't truly love video games if a month is the most you've ever spent...
@JamsterTheOne,well , Bad company 2 was held at 30 FPS on consoles , and I sat in front of my T.V,and I didn't notice any framerate problems , so I think it will be a decent framerate for the game , when it has fully destructable environments , 24 players , a wide range of vehicals , gigantic maps , and the ANT and lighting animations . Hell Killzone 3 runs at 30 FPS , but that game is as smooth as baby skin with explosions . So I think Battlefield 3 will run just fine on consoles.
what online is better ....Ps3 or 360 ????
this game would be awesome IF
1. IW patched the overpowered killstreaks and perks.
2. Bigger maps so people won't spawnkill you.
3. fix the spawnsystem.
@JamsterTheOne ,more slow paced is what you say ....More TACTICAL is what I say .The reason why I like Battlefields Multiplaer better is because it requires stradigy and communication with the classes ...In COD's so called fast paced action , is twitching your fingers and whoever has the more OP gun is going to win the firefight .
how meny mission doese this game have????
WOW, what a game!!! After 2 hours of playing on my PS3 this evening, I feel like I need to be admitted into a VA Hospital for a serious case of battle fatique! The battles are so furious and frenetically realistic, they are every bit as stunning as the first 15 minutes of Saving Private Ryan. Now, where is my Purple Hear?
Your so right.I loved cod 1 and 2 on the pc.And I still play cod 2 on xbox 360.But Mw2 was the best.Bo was great also.
I personally liked the twist of the good guys being not so good, its a lot more realistic than the good guys always doing the right thing
@Reiincarnation I'm not even a Call of Duty fan, but Modern Warfare 2 was the second best FPS game I have ever played.
...Timesplitters series is first. You can't beat Timesplitters, no matter how awesome MW2 is...
thinkin about buying. should I?
games we should buy this year-battlefield 3,call of duty modern warfare 3 and homefront
hey some one tell me the name of the background music?
I really hope IW pulls it together and does something truly new and fresh and EXCITING again for the MP of Ghosts. MW2 imo has the best MP, aside from some balance issues the maps, guns and killstreaks are so much fun. I hope Ghosts comes back. There is always a curse on the third iteration of a product, so I'm slightly optimistic for Ghosts to come back and redefine MP as we know it. Although, I don't know how much of the Modern Warfare 2 team is left... :(

This review was way better then IGN, good job guys.
@XsupadumbassX what do you do for living?
I think 360-version plays pretty well, surprisingly even better than timesplitters .
best video review iv seen for this game
Wow. You couldn't wait a few hours? I got mine at sainsburys at 7 in the morning. that was just 7 hours later than the midnight launch. so instead of waiting a few hours, you decided to pay like £15 - 20 more?
gamespot, you got that part wrong, the graphics arent detail AT ALL, because there isnt any micro detail
@awesome9001 Cause either you haven't been checking in to it lately, or that's just how you feel about it.
the spec ops sniper mission from cod4 is awesome
Multiplayer works now. Me and my friends played it all night.
Best cod by far and its probably going to hold that title for a long time
Wow I'm so excited. Im finally getting this today FINALLY for Ps3!
Yes i know what punctuation is. It is a mark that symbolizes a pause or expression you are supposed to use when you read the peice of writing. And what i ment was u can get red ring on brand new 360's as well and the ps3 is a better console for media and 360 is better for gaming. I say ps3 is better because i use alot of media not just games.
TWO THING I LOVE ABOUT THIS GAME 1. Campaign 2. Spec op. Online not much
@JamsterTheOne ,I disagree . I think BF can be really fun when you are working as a team . Because when you win , in my oppinion you get a much more rewarding experience .
every one says that they're is nothing different in each of the cods. DO YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MW2 AND BLACK OPS. new time era, new damages of the guns and recoil as well. new maps, new guns. there are wager matches, zombies with new maps. they also removed a few things that made online feel much different. by that i mean stopping power,juggernaut, sniper nerf,noob toob nerf, no danger close. they do make a good difference. black ops wasnt really that fun though i have to admit.
Kudos to GameSpot for giving Killzone 2 Best Shooter of the Year
He's complaining about the murky plot, but I think that darker plot twists are just awesome. For example, I loved the part in MW1 where you died of that nuke blast. :)
That's why I put Halo, Fear and Stalker because IMO they have better AI and Killzone 2 can even be considered. But COD games have been among the best in terms of AI (NOT THE BEST, but definetely top 5). If you played the game you would know taht the endless respawning has been fixed.
