Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2

[Professor Bear]

"Wolverines!" as an exclamation has very specific connotations for me, so I was happy to see that the level named as such is indeed set in smalltown America during a Russian invasion.  Score.

The WII version isn't going to be Modern Warfare 2 though is it? It's just MODERN WARFARE.

I'm not sure if I'll invest - something felt very wrong about the slaughter you were invited to perform on surrendering germans an hapless japanese in Call of Duty: World at War and I stopped playing because of it.

Sadly this has happened in all wars and will happen in all the wars to come. Not just to the Germans and Japanese though.
Sometimes you can't accept the surrendering force due to the mission in hand and manpower available so there is only one way to get round this, you guessed it!

And it always helps to be on the winning side if you want to get away with it.

[COMMANDO FORCES]

That does help!

[Tiplodocus]

I understand it perfectly in teh context of war.

But in the context of "a game" - it just felt wrong.

In that case there's a bit in an airport that you'll love to bits in MW2, Tips.

Post-EMP Washington DC is also an awesome level.

[mogzilla]

the favela level was awesome! took me a few goes to get throuh that!

was slightly let down by the end level although it does set up nicely for modern warfare 3!

also i love the bonus "level" in the museum...[spoiler]basically a shooting gallery with every weapon in the game and a few dioramas who you can shoot...but,if you press the bells on the desks the exhibits come after you! [/spoiler]


on the whole loved it but thought modern wafrfare one was better .

[Peter Wolf]

Can anyone give a very short synopsis of the plot in this game ?

I am guessing Russians but i could be wrong but if the ememy is blue hatted chinese or eastern european UN troops then i am definately buying this game.

Peter: A Russian terrorist frames the US for a massacre of thousands of people in an airport, resulting in open war between the two countries.
I'm simplifying a bit, but that's pretty much it.

The ISS bit was a nice touch, if utterly pointless.

WOW bloody hell what a game.

got a copy on thursday evening, mind blowing. and LIVE,no words to describe.
not even looked at specail ops yet.

the snow mpobile scenes and the rock climbing. BRILLANT!

[Dr Feeley Good]

Try the special ops there brilliant !

[Pete Wells]

I've been ill in bed with man flu but my boy completed the single player game in two sittings (and he's shit at games) so I'm guessing it's fairly short.

Hey Steve, what are the Special Ops thingies?

[Goaty]

so what about Modern Warfare 2 weapons??

I like those dual weapons with handguns, and my fave, shotgun dual which was great to use in Brazil mission!

and love Striker weapon as using it in Wolverines mission at many Russian soldiers! hehe... and oh Predator weapon in that same mission!
