Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022) Reviews
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is a phenomenal FPS that ticks every box. With incredible aesthetics and slick gunplay it is a fantastic experience. Furthermore, the online mode is well balanced and the new levelling system is organic. Fans may gripe and groan about the changes, but I adored the methodical action and problem free gaming.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, although not completely perfect, is one of the better installments in the franchies in recent years. A solid singleplayer delivers a thrilling rollercoaster with diverse gameplay and settings. The spec-ops is a nice co-op warm up, but the real deal here is the multiplayer. With tightly designed gameplay, maps that suit the different modes well, a lot of content to choose from, Infinity Ward really hit a sweet spot with this newest installment.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is an improvement over Call of Duty: Vanguard. The single player plays well, despite the fact that you buy this for the online multiplayer. Infinity Ward is certainly not finished with this part and there will also be a lot of new content such as new maps in the coming period. Infinity Ward is already busy with that and with the first season and Warzone 2.0, the fans will be sweet for a while. The only hope is that Infinity Ward will also give the necessary attention to Cooperative and what exactly they want to do with Raids. All in all, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is another big blast, but a blast with a recognizable flavor.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is a monster of a game with a phenomenal campaign and fantastic multiplayer and well worth your hard earned cash.
Now we come to what Call of Duty is known for and this is where both Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and Infinity Ward themselves excel and after spending 20 years improving and perfecting their craft it shows. The multiplayer is a finely tuned masterpiece which improves on all of the previous iterations, yes there were a few teething issues with matchmaking but nothing that really spoilt my experience.
The Multiplayer for Call of Duty Modern Warfare II seems like the great start for two years of upcoming content. Infinity Ward has really put the basics for a long term blockbuster multiplayer game despite some map design flaws but it will surely an entertaining experience that will keep you and your friends busy

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II impresses, albeit without revolutionizing, with a Campaign that smacks of the saga's "best of," a Spec Ops mode that is fun but dares little, and most importantly, a multiplayer side that is damned entertaining even if it rehashes some of the series' unfortunate design choices of recent years. All this is accompanied by an increasingly stunning technical compartment. Call of Duty is alive and well, and this is definitely the best chapter in several years.

Modern Warfare 2’s campaign looks, feels, and sounds fantastic with the IW 9.0 engine flexing its capabilities with much success. Characters feel a bit more fleshed out with added personalities that help the player connect and believe in their relationships with each other. However, the narrative is bogged down by tedious mission design, technical bugs, and an overreliance on sequel-baiting that doesn’t feel earned at all.
Modern Warfare II may be an untouchable feat for Infinity Ward, and might be tough to overcome when thinking of its next entry. Amazing shooter, awesome multiplayer, a masterpiece for its genre.
Overall Modern Warfare 2 has managed to recapture a lot of what made the original Modern Warfare 2 such a smash hit. The campaign can be held up among the series’ best and the multiplayer feels like a refined version of the core Call of Duty experience that helped create this juggernaut of a franchise way back in 2009.
At the end of the day, the familiar feeling of Call of Duty remains, and many times that is enough for 'one more round'.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 brings yet another action-packed, high-octane entry that will keep fans entertained for months to come, whether you’re here for the single player or especially for the multiplayer.
Modern Warfare 2 is the strongest release from the series in quite a while, possibly since Modern Warfare, maybe even longer than that. There are some missing features though: the battle pass won’t launch until nearer the end of November, while hardcore playlists don’t exist. The multiplayer maps are decent enough, but nothing overly spectacular, but at least the multiplayer feels mostly balanced. The campaign was a great experience, with a small visual glitch here and there.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II enters a new age of tactical, punchy shooting. The Modern Warfare II campaign is another tour de force, co-op is limited but worthwhile, and the multiplayer may be missing some core features and longevity unlocks, it still gets its hooks in you. With the rumored DMZ and Warzone 2 modes on the horizon, it feels like the best is yet to come for the game as a whole. As it stands, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is a solid spectacle that’s less groundbreaking than its predecessor, but is Infinity Ward shooting with pinpoint accuracy.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 returns the series to its former glory. I pretty much disliked Vanguard, but this one does much better. We totally understand why the community is so passionate and critical about this new release. After all, Activision delivers bestsellers year after year and, in our opinion, this one will be no exception.

Thank you to Infinity Ward and Activision for delivering this stunning masterpiece, and long may it continue now we are moving onto 2 year cycles of Call of Duty games!
There are a lot of new features and improvements in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, but the gameplay is mostly unchanged from the first Modern Warfare game. Its campaign mode will draw much criticism, while it's obvious that the single-player mode hasn't been a top focus. Overall, it's not too dissimilar from its 2019 remade predecessor, but this time around, expectations meant that there wasn't much room for innovation or surprise.
Although Modern Warfare 2 is short in terms of story, it offers an enjoyable 5-6 hours. Multiplayer modes have similar flavors but managed to maintain the fun.

Despite its half-baked accommodation of new mechanics, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 remains a highly entertaining package, both with regard to its campaign and multiplayer offerings.
Great campaign, coupled with intense multiplayer mayhem but all of that is dragged down by an infuriating number of freezes, crashes, and stutters - both in single-player and multiplayer.
