This game is quite energetic in the best way. It presents itself with a loud intensity, maintains that energy throughout, and keeps the player engaged without much pause, which may seem overwhelming on paper but is a key part of its appeal. The campaign delivers large-scale moments consistently, encouraging you to keep going even when it becomes hectic. While it is bold, dramatic, and self-assured, that confidence contributes to its charm.
The shooting mechanics feel precise and rewarding. Each weapon has a noticeable impact, and the gameplay moves at a pace that makes other shooters seem slower by comparison. The maps are designed to keep players actively engaged, which can be frustrating when you’re on the receiving end but satisfying when you're the one causing trouble. It tends to encourage extended gaming sessions, often leading to several matches extending into late hours.
The multiplayer mode is where this game truly stands out. It is fast-paced, engaging, and can sometimes feel unbalanced, which adds to the ongoing discussions about its fairness. Some loadouts may feel overly powerful, and the balance can occasionally seem off, but the excitement from match to match remains compelling. It’s a game that can evoke both frustration and fascination simultaneously, which many consider a sign of its effectiveness.
The overall presentation is impressive. The game features strong visuals and sound design that enhances every explosion and combat moment, making them feel impactful. The music, voice acting, and pacing contribute significantly to the experience, and the entire package feels polished even amid moments of over-the-top action.
It’s not without flaws. The story emphasizes spectacle at times and lacks subtlety, with some moments feeling slightly forced in their attempts to surprise or shock the player. Additionally, the multiplayer balancing issues are noticeable. However, these imperfections are now part of the overall experience and do not detract significantly from it.
Overall, 4 and a half stars. It’s a fast-paced, highly engaging shooter that clearly understands its identity. Not refined or subtle, but highly effective in its approach.

Mi COD favorito de toda la saga, lo he jugado y rejugado un monton de veces y lo sigo disfrutando como si fuera mi primera vez.
Incredible game, shame about the security risks

8/10
The Multiplayer was fun but super unbalanced. And Story didn't live up to past few games. Spec Ops missions were ok but not anywhere close to Zombies.

Modern Warfare 2 (2009) My first ever COD platinum (hopefully many more to come), yeah playing this on Veteran kind of makes it a chore, but I’ve heard this is one of the easier COD campaigns.
Welp I really want to play (and hopefully platinum) World at War one day, hope it'll come easier because I have some Veteran campaign experience at least ROFL 🤣.
Ничего не запомнила, но понравилось

This is definitely everyone's fave Modern Warfare game but it isn't for me in my honest opinion! Played this for my Call Of Duty Marathon series and the campaign does go very dark in places which it does warn you before starting it. Multiplayer is still fun but full of modded lobbies! Another 10/10 cod!
