![]() ![]() Yes, it carries a hefty price-tag, a shortish single player campaign and only adds a handful of genuinely new elements to the prequel, but you won't find a more polished, intelligent FPS this year. With two map packs already in the pipeline to compensate for some of the more formulaic designs currently included, you can expect this to be jamming servers for months to come.Īll in all, MW2 is exactly what fans were expecting. ![]() Speaking of which, our limited time on the pre-launch servers revealed Free-For-All, Search & Destroy, Demolition, Domination, Capture the Flag and Team Deathmatch modes for 8-12 players plus a new co-op Special Ops mode that can be played online or split-screen over 20+ extra levels. Graphically, the tweaked IW4 engine copes with up to 40 onscreen enemies at once – particularly impressive in the Brazilian levels where the Black Hawk Down-style action reaches almost multiplayer levels of intensity. ![]() Along the way there are twists and turns galore, including one controversial level that sees you joining Makarov to massacre passengers at Moscow airport. Drawing on impressive AI for both allies and enemies as it races from one scripted set-piece to the next, MW2 takes you on a veritable world tour from stealth based levels in Kazakhstan, to a running battle through Brazilian Favelas to rescuing hostages from a heavily defended oil rig.Įach mission in the three-act campaign presents you with different challenges, abilities and controls, so left and right triggers are used for aiming and firing, swinging ice-picks to climb sheer cliffs, piloting a skidoo for an Endor-style chase through trees or controlling the new Predator droid to take out hostile targets by aerial satnav.
