Lack of Diversity.Įxcept for Mexican SpecOps Alejandro Vargas, every playable character in the campaign is a stereotypical British solider with even Gaz, the only black character lacking any cultural depth, with some dismissing him as the “whitest black man that ever lived” I live in the UK. Forgettable Characters.Įxcept for Captain Price, who has the most adorable smile in the entire franchise, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has a very forgettable cast of characters, unlike Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019), which at least allowed the player to assume control of Farah, a freedom fighter with an interesting back story and a real connection to the conflict. Modern Warfare games are mechanically brilliant and offer some of the best gunplay that Call of Duty has to offer however, due to its modern-day setting, Modern Warfare titles are severely lacking in scope, with the vast majority of missions taking place in dusty impoverished regions of fictional countries.
#Call of duty modern warfare 2 reviews movie#
Looks fantastic on 9th-generation hardware, and several times I paused for a moment to take it all in with photo-realistic scenery and cutting-edge CGI cutscenes, playing through the campaign felt like being a part of a movie it’s just a shame that the narrative does not hold a candle to the original. Boss Battle Mission: Utilise the environment and stealth to overcome a powerful late-game enemy in this mission that is reminiscent of the Far Cry Franchise.Car Chase Mission: In this mission, clearly inspired by Uncharted, leap from vehicle to vehicle as you work to complete your objective.Open World Sniping Mission: In this Sniper Elite-esque semi-open world mission, players will assume the role of a sniper scout, slowly thinning out the herd before going in for the proverbial kill.Hitman Mission: In this mission reminiscent of the Hitman franchise, players are given the option of wearing a disguise as they navigate a drug lord’s compound in this unique mission that offers players multiple ways to complete it, ranging from stealth to all-out carnage.Real-Time Tactics Mission: Guide your companion through the enemy base via CCTV as you work to neutralise guards and avoid detections.Survival Missions (x2): Collect various materials around the map and construct makeshift weapons and tools in these survival missions reminiscent of the Last of Us 2.Close Air Support Mission: Keep the enemy away from your team and avoid civilian causalities as you rain fire from the skies.To avoid spoilers, the following list will remain deliberately vague. While Call of Duty titles often include a vehicular mission or two, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 takes this further by introducing multiple unique mechanics inspired by other popular games. Campaign.Ĭall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s campaign is one of the most unique in the history of the franchise in that despite its many attempts to break the mould and stunning visuals, it fails to live up to its predecessor, something we have no seen since Black Ops III, which not only failed to surpass the genre-defining campaign from Black Ops II but in the eyes of many was the worst campaign in the history of the franchise. While Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 lives up to and builds upon the legacy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019), it is unlikely to win over anyone who is not already a fan of the series.
