Summary

Modern Warfare 2 is the sequel to 2007s insanely successful Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, which took the classic World War II first person shooting series and adapted it to modern day situations. With the ever-present threat in many people's minds being terrorism, developer Infinity Ward has a lot of material with which to create some gripping fictional shorelines.

Set several years after the original Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, you play as Sgt. Gary "Roach" Sanderson, taking orders from the hero of the last game, "Soap" MacTavish. MacTavish is now a captain and directs your missions as a coalition of CIA, Delta Force, Rangers, and British SAS soldiers travelling across locations in Russia, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan and Brazil. The immediate threat is the Russian Ultranationalist organisation, who have returned to prominence after a leadership takeover by one Vladimir Makarov. Your mission is to counter the strengthening threat emanating from the Ultranationalists.

Multiplayer combat will heavily feature in Modern Warfare 2, with the satisfying online death matches returning with new weapons, equipment and rewards that can be earned by collecting experience points. A brand new mode called Special Ops allows for multiplayer co-operative action, drafting players into unique missions that are similar to those found in the single player campaign.
