Modern Warfare 2 is trash...and I fucking love it.

This game looks at all the gritty realism and grounded elements from the other games and goes fuck that! MORE EXPLOSIONS.

This game is set piece after set piece after set piece and it never slows down until the credits. This is the beginning of the end for Call Of Duty as a respectable series but it is still by all accounts, an enjoyable game.

No Russian, as noted in my MW review, is shit and filled with plot holes. How come the Russians never looked into the other shooters that were very much spotted by security cameras? How come they didn’t look into who the American was before declaring war? That guy was an undercover CIA agent, a whole war could have been avoided had they looked into it...but WHATEVER, here’s your shitty shocking moment to start the plot.

The plot of the game being Russia invades America is so damn weak but the way it takes itself so seriously despite how over the top and dumb it is makes it kinda funny. Call Of Duty took a turn for the worse with this game but by all accounts this game is so ridiculous that it becomes super fun, on your first playthrough you don’t know what other crazy shit the devs have come up with.

The multiplayer is the biggest clusterfuck I’ve ever seen. It’s such unbalanced trash. It’s like the perfect example of what happens when you try to make a game in which even a 2 week old baby could get a killstreak. It’s almost a spectacle. Man and if you’re playing it modded it somehow gets even worse (better*). Playing nuketown gungame on mw2 never felt so good, that's what I’ll say.

Spec Ops is also a really fun gamemode to play with friends, definitely the most underrated aspect of mw2, wish it became a staple of the series like Zombies but sadly only 2 other games in the series have this mode and neither are as good as it is here.


Overall, MW2 is a mess but it’s an extremely enjoyable mess whose multiplayer I’ll keep coming back too for no particularly good reason other than that its dumb mindless fun. Rule of cool wins with this game.
