Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022) Reviews
There is a great multiplayer experience in Modern Warfare II, due to its careful movement and strong gunplay, but with an uneven campaign and terrible co-op, the franchise has been better equipped in previous battles.
Call of duty Modern Warfare delivers almost everything we expect from a call of duty game. Enjoyable Campaign, fun Multiplayer and Great Gunplay. That being said, User Interface needs a rework and Stealth missions are a bit too much. Nevertheless, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is a game that can and will entertain you for hundreds of hours!

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 distances itself from the original titles and is below in quality even from the 2019 game. It is still a great option as an FPS and delivers plenty of content, but it is clear that an evolution did not happen as expected.

Overall, Call of Duty Modern Warfare II is a decent follow-up to the first game and especially a comeback after the weaker Black Ops and Vanguard games. Especially in the multiplayer, which has good and now even improved gameplay, even smaller maps for intense battles, but also large maps for massive Ground War battles, all with new elements to the characters' abilities.

Some early technical and content shortcomings aside, the nostalgic single-player campaign and typically exciting Call of Duty multiplayer make sure that Modern Warfare II conveys the same and more intense emotions as its "Not Balanced for Lean" progenitor back in 2009.
The standard multiplayer generally retains the series’ three-lane structure, although some new maps (including one set at the aforementioned border and filled with explosive cars) smartly mix things up. With the huge success of Call Of Duty’s battle royale, Warzone, and its enormous player counts and vast maps, it almost seems like a novelty to indulge in short multiplayer battles with regular bursts of spawn/kill/die action. The Special Ops co-op mode also makes a return, although it’s less distinct than previous entries and it hews irritatingly close to Warzone’s expanse. It’s strange to see Call Of Duty so circumspect but overall this is an impressive package.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II pretends to be a classic action showcase, which it still is, but at the same time, it tries to come up with new mechanics. These feel fresh, and it's excellent that Infinity Ward is trying to change up a stale franchise. The problem, however, is that it does it in a big way, so to speak, and every change it introduces is thrown at you several more times in the minutes that follow, even when the mission no longer can do so.

Although there are areas where 2022's Modern Warfare 2 excels in, the bug-filled and overly complicated parts of Infinity Ward's latest release overshadow what could be an excellent Call of Duty title.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare II delivers what could be the best multiplayer of the series since the original entry in the Modern Warfare franchise, while providing a very safe and almost disappointing campaign to its side.
Modern Warfare II capitalizes on the campaign of its predecessor but fails to give it irreverence. It relies on its strong gameplay to build visually incredible action sequences, but fails to provide risky moments and narratives. The truth is that they say that in a winning team you don't move, and here you find a quality shooter.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II offers the best iteration of the franchise in some time. However, it does have some lingering issues that can likely be addressed in the coming months. As it is now, the campaign offers a compelling but predictable narrative, but one that readies you for the multiplayer.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II once again focuses on multiplayer and nails the landing in that regard. The singleplayer and co-op modes are a bit more mixed, though.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II has both pros and cons blended together. For every fleshed-out character and voice line, we have a mediocre plot. For every tactical gameplay, we have a lack of explosive set-pieces, and for every Co-op mission, we have a grindy multiplayer where 14-year-olds describe how they had consensual intercourse with their mother. All in all, it’s a good game but it somewhat feels like it’s similar to the earlier Battlefield games (except 3) where the maximum focus was on the multiplayer instead of the main campaign. That said most of the multiplayer content will be drip fed to you over the course of the next two years. If only the devs could reduce the number of bugs in this game as it’s too much for a meagre 6–7-hour campaign. However, if you’re in only for multiplayer, it’s quite good.
Modern Warfare II brings an interesting campaign to complement the hit that was the 2019 game. Even if it feels a little bit "prone to tease" instead of a full story, is a fun experience. The MP is more of what make the first so successful, although it does have a few problems regarding parties and matchmaking.

I admit my general impression of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is mixed. On the one hand, the campaign is only average and various elements demand polishing, but on the other hand, we have an excellent gameplay and beautiful production. Personally, I see the balance pending to the positive side, especially with the upcoming Warzone 2.0 and the promise of longer [multiplayer support] life time.

A brand new Call of Duty that brings back the feeling of old Call of Duty
Call of Duty Modern Warfare II makes for an average campaign experience with its multiplayer carrying the load.
We've played a lot of war games, some were really good, others were just horrible and my expectations for this game were a little low, also because lately the series has promised a lot and delivered little. However, we were surprised quite positively. The story is simply incredible and maybe one of the best if not the best we've ever played in a Call of Duty game (yes, we dare say it's better than the original Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2). It has a bit of everything, drama, plot twists, anxious moments and plenty of enthusiasm. The multiplayer is well polished (except the respawn), with everything to improve even more over the coming months. In general, Activision has once again shown that it manages to reboot without tarnishing the image of a game that was once recognized by many as the best of the year in question.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 returns in a remake that fails to fully satisfy. The gameplay is certainly among the best on the market in the shooting aspect, but it has serious problems that lead to this chapter being considered the worst of the entire saga.

Regardless of which direction future content takes until the release of the next game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II gives fans of the franchise what they expect and despite some bugs, is one of the more engaging and enjoyable releases for the franchise.
