Call of Duty 2 Modern Warfare For PC With Cheats Codes Walkthroughs
As one of the most critically acclaimed shooters of all time, Call of
Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a prime example of a tough act to follow. Yet,
amidst a raging storm of anticipation and expectation, Call of Duty:
Modern Warfare 2 has done it. The new campaign is chock-full of intense
action and dramatic moments, and though it is more muddled than its
predecessor (in more ways than one), it's still an absolute blast. The
new Special Ops mode allows you to experience some campaign-inspired
thrills with a friend and it's an engaging challenge to coordinate your
maneuvers and tackle the varied objectives. Last but not least, the
competitive multiplayer that took the online shooter community by storm
two years ago is back. Though the addictive action remains the same at
its core, there are a host of new elements that make matches more
accessible, more strategic, and more rewarding. Unfortunately, these
improvements are marred by limited online flexibility that may leave the
PC shooter community out in the cold.
The campaign takes you to some dangerous, claustrophobic places.
If you compare Modern Warfare 2 on the PC to its console counterparts,
the game is every bit as awesome and enjoyable. Yet when compared to
other online shooters on the PC, the multiplayer component is decidedly
limited. Players cannot set up dedicated servers to host their own
custom-tuned matches, and the player count for each match has been
capped at 18 as opposed to the possible 64-player matches of Call of
Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Furthermore, there is no support for
user-created content, so rather than enjoying free mods and community
maps, PC users will have to pay for downloadable content. And the money
issues don't stop there: Modern Warfare 2 costs $10 more than most
full-price PC games. Paying more and getting less is abhorrent to
consumers, and this deterrent, along with the online restrictions, make
Modern Warfare 2 much less appealing from a multiplayer perspective. Yet
despite this disappointment, there is still a lot to love about the
online multiplayer, and the other elements of the game remain
unblemished.
The campaign picks up where its predecessor left off, and there's a new
violent ultranationalist terrorist on the scene. Once again, you play as
a few different soldiers who are part of the effort to make the world a
safer place. Your missions take you around the world to a number of
exotic locations and engage you in a variety of different conflicts,
ranging from stealthy and silenced to crowded and cacophonous. The
action is smooth and exhilarating, thanks to sharp shooting and movement
mechanics that allow you to be as quick and deadly as your skills
permit. Environments are well designed and detailed, though many
textures don't look particularly good upon close inspection. Modern
Warfare 2 isn't a beautiful game, but it looks great in action. The
diverse levels not only provide varied sights, but they are also
cleverly designed to allow the action to flow at an exciting pace.
Opportunities for cover and flanking present themselves naturally,
allowing you to move through the battlefield in a variety of fluid ways.
The aggressive enemy AI will keep you on your toes, and achieving your
hard-earned success is satisfying.
Modern Warfare 2's campaign, like that of its predecessor, is quite
short, and you'll likely finish it in about five hours. Though it is
disappointing that there isn't more of it, what you do get is a
relentless barrage of tight combat and thrilling set pieces. In one
early level, you man the turret of a Humvee patrolling the
claustrophobic streets of a Middle Eastern city. Enemies seem to be
around every corner, but you are ordered not to fire until fired upon.
The tension builds, and once you are engaged by the enemy, all hell
breaks loose. After a hectic (and unsuccessful) flight from danger, you
end up fighting door-to-door in the streets and ruined buildings. This
frantic combat ratchets up when you head to the slums of Rio de Janeiro
and reaches a whole new level when you find yourself engaged in
similarly intense firefights on the grassy lawns and paved driveways of
suburban America. The fight on the home front has some very cool
moments, but it doesn't mean you're done adventuring abroad. A dramatic
prison rescue, a marine infiltration, and a snowmobile chase are just
some of the other exhilarating moments that make this campaign so
enjoyable.
Downed military helicopters aren't exactly a boon for Nate's restaurant.
Though completing the campaign is an intensely satisfying and exciting
endeavor, you may not feel very triumphant when all is said and done.
Modern Warfare 2 features some dark plot turns, and your missions
sometimes have drastic unintended consequences. In one mission in
particular, you infiltrate a terrorist cell and are called upon to do
the kind of things that terrorists do. What follows is a neutered
attempt at portraying the grim reality of terrorism, and concessions are
put in place to keep the plot from getting too dark. Despite these
limits, the scene in question is undeniably disturbing and undermines
your sense of remaining on high moral ground. The game gives you the
option to skip this particular level entirely, but the shocking
consequences of this grim mission ripple throughout the game, making it
difficult to feel like a hero. Subsequent developments further muddle
your overall objective, and it doesn't help that many of the subtleties
and connecting threads are mumbled during voice-overs between missions.
The plot ends up being a bit disorienting, and you may get the feeling
that, rather than being the tip of the spear, you are just along for the
ride.
If you're looking for some campaign-style action that is unburdened by
any sort of plot, then Special Ops is the place to go. The timed
missions are campaign excerpts from Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty 4:
Modern Warfare that you can play solo or online with a friend. The
missions cover a variety of objectives, which include surviving waves of
enemies, moving from point A to point B stealthily (or not),
eliminating a certain number of enemies, and racing snowmobiles. You
earn a rating based on your completion time or difficulty level and
unlock new missions as you progress. Though the missions will adjust to
allow you to play solo, Special Ops missions are made to be played
cooperatively. Two guns are better than one when clearing out a crowded
slum full of enemy combatants, and coordinating a simultaneous sniper
attack is much more fun when you are counting down with a buddy. There
are also a few missions in which one player uses an airborne
vehicle-mounted gun to clear the path for the other player on the
ground, and these are frantic and explosively awesome. There is no
matchmaking, however, so if you don't have any friends online and need a
teammate, you'll have to go fishing in the multiplayer lobbies. As is
the nature of cooperative play, missions can fall flat if teammates
don't communicate or go off on their own. It can be tough to find a
communicative teammate who is willing to let one player take point, but
it is certainly worth the effort. When you have a strong team assembled,
cooperative play is uniquely fun, and Special Ops provides a great
variety of engaging missions.
Of course, you could completely ignore both the campaign and cooperative
modes and be very happy with Modern Warfare 2, despite the
aforementioned online limitations. The insanely addictive, intensely
exciting multiplayer formula pioneered by Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
is in full effect here. The action is even faster and deadlier than the
campaign, and killing enemies, accomplishing objectives, and completing
challenges earn you experience points. These points increase your level
and unlock new guns, new equipment, and new skill-boosting perks. You
can design different classes to highlight different skills and then
switch between them to adjust for the ebb and flow of battle. The core
action remains largely the same, so folks who didn't enjoy it the first
time around aren't likely to have a change of heart. And players who
thrive on the diversity of dedicated servers and the creativity of mods
and community maps will feel a keen sting of disappointment. Yet despite
these omissions, Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer action is so expertly
balanced and riotously fun that it's hard not to have a great time with
it. And a number of new tweaks and additions make the action more
engaging than its predecessor.
If the blood splatter bothers you, don't sweat it too much. You'll probably be dead soon.
First off, weapon loadouts have been restructured. Guns you may have
previously equipped as primary are now only available as secondary, so
you can equip both an assault rifle and a shotgun if you so desire. This
restructuring creates an intriguing array of gun combinations, and one
of the new options isn't even a gun. The bullet-resistant riot shield
can be equipped in your primary slot and used to assault heavily
contested positions. Having multiple-shielded teammates can change the
battlefield significantly, and new equipment items deepen the strategic
possibilities. The blast shield can protect you against grenade-happy
opponents, while the tactical insertion flare (allows you to designate
your next spawn point) can be a powerful asset in objective-based modes
like Demolition and Domination.
The perk system has also received an overhaul. Perks can now be upgraded
through use and will eventually grant a secondary ability. These bonus
abilities are often just as potent as the primary perk, though they
aren't a linear extension of the primary ability. Upgrading the perk
that grants increased melee distance, for example, will cause you to
take no fall damage (allowing you to perfect your drop-and-stab
maneuver). The new death streak perks may seem familiar to those
acquainted with the infamous martyrdom perk from COD4, but they also
provide some welcome (and cleverly implemented) aid for new players.
These perks kick in after you die a few times in a row without getting a
kill. Painkiller grants you increased health for a short time upon
respawning and makes it easier to resist getting spawn killed. Copycat
allows you to mimic the class of the last person that killed you,
potentially granting you the guns, equipment, and perks of a much higher
ranked opponent. Nothing mitigates the frustration of getting killed by
a weapon you can't access like getting your hands on that weapon and
doing some killing of your own.
Customizable kill streak rewards are the other significant addition. In
COD4, kill streaks of a certain length would earn you rewards like air
strikes and attack helicopters. In Modern Warfare 2, there are a host of
new rewards that you can unlock and then equip as you see fit. The
rewards themselves range from tactical aids like unmanned aerial
vehicles that reveal enemies on the radar (or counter UAVs that block
the enemy's radar) to powerful assaults like gunships, air strikes, and
the exceedingly fun laptop-guided predator missile. Each kill streak
requires a certain amount of kills to activate, and you can only equip
three at a time, so there's a risk/reward mechanic at play. The chopper
gunner reward is superpowerful, but if you aren't confident you can
score the required 11 kill streak, you'll essentially be wasting a
reward slot. Even if you can't string together 11 kills, you can still
use some of the more powerful rewards courtesy of care packages. This
reward drops a crate onto the battlefield that either contains an ammo
resupply or a kill streak reward, such as a precision air strike. Not
only do these rewards add an engaging strategic dimension, but they also
do so in a way that allows all players to enjoy them.
In the slums of Rio, a scoped assault rifle is a man's best friend.
The result of all these multiplayer tweaks is a richer, more
strategically nuanced experience and a busier battlefield. Fortunately,
the action generally remains on the good side of hectic, and the stream
of rewards is as satisfying as ever. Two new elements, title and emblem,
are little graphics and titles that you earn through your match
performance, ranging from serious to totally goofy. While not exactly in
keeping with the serious tone of the campaign, they add an amusing way
to further customize your online presence. Though it features a robust
variety of playlists in which to ply your deadly trade, Modern Warfare
2's competitive multiplayer is still limited compared to modern
standards and will likely disappoint many hardcore shooter fans. The
high price point sharpens the sting of these restrictions, but the core
multiplayer action is still very addictive and very rewarding. The
inelegant campaign plot may make you feel like you're just along for the
ride, but it is such an intense, roaringly great ride that you will be
glad just to have played it. And the cooperative missions provide a
uniquely fun angle on the action that rounds out the package superbly,
making Modern Warfare 2 thoroughly entertaining and thoroughly
rewarding.
