GameZone's Dakota Grabowski has delivered his full review of Activision-Blizzard's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Resurgence Map Pack that brings forth five maps in total for the title.
"Now if you’ve ever played PC games, the gap between mouse and keyboard and controllers has always been an issue. Most would say a controller will never have the precision that a mouse has. KontrolFreek have created a product for your analog sticks to improve performance and accuracy by decreasing your reaction time and increasing mobility."
"Ever since Activision announced the price of the Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Package, message boards and forums all over the web have exploded with complaints of how expensive it was. There was even a petition created online to try to get the price lowered. Whether it was Activision or Infinity Ward’s decision to charge such a steep price doesn’t really matter since they still sold 2.5 million downloads during the first week. So did those 2.5 million gamers get their money’s worth? Some of them..."
"We’ve writen a lot about this Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Dlc named the Stimulus Package. It was released on March 30 for 1200 Microsoft Points and will be available on May 4th on PS3 and PC."
"Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer has had quite a number of players hooked for the last couple months, myself included. So the thought of having new maps to freshen up some of the playlists is a certainly a welcome addition for most. The Stimulus Package which includes five new maps for MW2 released earlier this week adds some much needed variety to playlists, but at what cost? A steep cost in fact, weighing in at a lofty 1200 points ($15). So if you are reading this, you are most likely on the ..."
The much awaited for Stimulus Map Pack is here (finally) after making a dramatic entrance onto Xbox Live; possibly a clever ploy by Infinity Ward to attract even more attention to the Stimulus Pack? The Map Pack, which consists of 3 brand new maps and 2 classics from the original Modern Warfare game has been the most talked about gaming news these past few weeks due to a controversial price of 1200 Microsoft Points, especially when Modern Warfare 2’s greatest rival Battlefield: Bad Company 2 ...
"BBC 2 has stirred up some controversy as the multiplayer beta experience had been hit or miss for some people. After some hands on game playing with the final copy of the game, we can now definitely say whether DICE delivers another killer Battlefield game."
"Just over two years ago, Infinity Ward unleashed the critically acclaimed fourth entry into their highly acclaimed first person shooter franchise - Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. He game combined a memorable campaign with immersive action, a good story, fantastic graphics and polished game play to create an experience that is still considered to be one of the finest shooters ever made. Step forward two years and Infinity Ward are back again with a sequel to their first person epic - Modern W..."
Xboxliveaddicts’ reviewers look back on some of the best Xbox 360 and Xbox Live Arcade games of the decade with scores of 9 or above in this feature.
""Modern Warfare 2 is quite possibly the best first-person shooter I have ever played. The single player is solid enough to have me run through it again, and the Spec Ops challenges have me returning to see just how more efficiently I can tackle the objectives. Further, I am absolutely addicted to earning and utilizing all of the many weapons available in the multiplayer mode. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is the perfect title for FPS fans and online gamers alike.""
"Graphically, Modern Warfare 2 is pure eye candy and you will not find a title with more attention to detail. Real-world locales such as Washington D.C., Moscow, and Rio de Janeiro (to name a few) are all beautifully rendered and are crafted with lush exterior environments and impressive interior design. Everything from the inventory of weapons to the photo-realistic blood effects are nothing short of gorgeous."
"The juggernaut that is Modern Warfare 2 has been released and with just two weeks of it being on shelves gamers are already criticizing the game’s length and content in comparison to Modern Warfare 1.
So here we’ll take a look and compare Modern Warfare 1 and Modern Warfare 2 and see exactly where things have changed for better or worse and try to just figure out wtf?! Infinity Ward wanted to portray in Modern Warfare 2.
So back in 2007 when Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Modern Warfar..."
This week on Zero Punctuation, Ben "Yahtzee" Crowshaw takes on the recently released juggernaut, Modern Warfare 2. Click to find out what he thought of the game.
"That Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 would be a success was never truly open to debate, that it would so very many records was a welcoming reminder as to how widely accepted videogaming as a hobby has become. The UK is known to have adopted videogaming in steadily increasing number since the 1980’s, and now anyone can pick up a game and play, no matter what their previous experience or skill level. That being said, everyone likes a helping hand every now and then."
"In every other FPS where the developers decide it’s a good idea to drop in a driving scene here and there, they fail to capture a sense of urgency for the most part, and they become more of a diversion from the game as a whole. COD:MW2’s vehicle sections seem to keep the game flowing as they are (blessedly) short, intense, and thankfully in-context. In one of the opening missions, you and your partner have been caught red-handed (excuse the pun, but they are working over a Russian base), and..."
All Age Gaming's John Elliott looks at the biggest release of 2009, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Has Infinity Ward brought us the best shooter to date or will it be hit and miss? Read on to find out.
"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is easily the biggest title of the year. Is it deserving of the hype? Or does it need more time in training before it join the ranks of this year’s other major titles? Find out in our full review…"
"The release of Modern Warfare 2 set global records, outdoing even Hollywood in terms of launch revenue. Even gamers previously unfamiliar with the Call of Duty games took notice, given how much hype MW2 has received. Expectations were set incredibly high, which often results in great disappointment. Really though, does the game live up to all this excitement? Short answer is "yes." The newest Call of Duty is armed with a riveting campaign that picks up where Modern Warfare left off, and ..."
"The single player mode is short, taking only 4-6 hours for an average player to complete. Also, players will find that a Co-Op campaign option is strangely absent, which was sacrificed in order to ensure the single player campaign was as polished as possible.
Thankfully, the story is crafted well enough to dismiss any complaints. Each step of the way is reminiscent of a high-octane Hollywood blockbuster. Very rarely does the pace of the story become slow and uninteresting.
I’m sure tha..."
"Possibly the most hyped, most discussed and most anticipated release of 2009, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has arrived at retail in North America, Europe and a number of other large territories. The near global launch and intense marketing thanks to publisher Activision will give Infinity Ward’s latest the resources it needs to become one of the most successful launches of 2009, and possibly even one of the most successful videogame releases of all time."
"100: GamesRadar:Anyone who already has issues with the single-player ‘style’ of IW’s games will still find fault with the scripted, linear experience, but in terms of sheer drama and show-stopping set-pieces accompanied by laser sharp FPS controls, Modern Warfare 2 is your daddy. And that’s without Spec Ops and Multiplayer.
100: Gamepro:As much as I liked the single-player, even I have to admit that the multiplayer is where the real action is, and its new additions should (hopefully) help ..."
"Going back to the single-player story mode it has to be said that the writers at Infinity Ward have crafted one of, if not the single best, pieces of video game entertainment of all time. The story flows in and out of mission-orders and briefing tools, letting the player take over control for the major plot points. There are more twists and turns than some entire game franchises feature, oh and don’t get too attached to any specific character because this is a tragic story even Quentin Tarant..."
