As a port, this game is pretty alright. It has a FPS limit that's capped at 91 and a FOV locked at 65. Both of which can be changed with mods.

Thanks to the introduction of IWNet and the neglect of a seven year-old game, multiplayer is a very lackluster experience. The game uses a peer-to-peer connection and if the host of the lobby leaves (a person that the game chooses at seemingly random), the game will pause and try to find another host. It can be liable to disconnecting the entire lobby. It really doesn't have to be this way on a PC game.

There's automatic matchmaking (also called IWNet), so you can randomly get thrown into a lobby with a hacker or with a bad connection, over and over until IWNet decides to roll you something good. Infinity Ward has been faced with this problem before with their previous iteration, Call of Duty 4. Unable to do much, they simply told their users to play in private lobbies.

Thankfully, VAC is implemented. But, it's useless. Hackers aren't deterred by VAC in the slightest, and thee's no incentive on IW's end to address this problem any longer.

Infinity Ward succeeded in what they wanted to do, they hamstrung the PC port's multiplayer to function similar to a console's, giving us all a baseline experience.

Don't buy the DLC. It's overpriced and none of the few players left have it. If you're going to buy this, then understand that you're playing a decrepit husk.

Most of the people don't even care about Call of Duty series anymore .It looks like cliche , stupid shooter with the same gameplay and boring story. Yeah new games are pretty bad and they are not even trying to make it better. However this game... Modern Warfare series man. Story , characters , gameplay ( I always liked COD's gameplay ) , music all of them are magnificent. Even after all this time game aged pretty well. I am talking about campaign. Sadly in multiplayer there are so many hackers sometimes game is literally unplayable because of that :c , still worth it even just for the campaign 9.2/10.


S:Do you have the DSM?
G:We got it, sir!
S:Good. That's one less loose end.


RAMIREZ ! BRING BACK MODERN WARFARE SERIES.

Best Call Of Duty of all time!!! Seriusly this is a great game, (my favourite i own this game on 3 different platforms thats how much i love it), and if your worried about online don't worry, as long as u play ffa or snd u will always have ppl to play and i must say at the time of this review i haven't played against a cheater, but if you're looking for a online experience with more players and more cheat security u can use a thing called "V2 Gaming" that basically alows u to play on dedicated servers, and thats were most of the community is right now, btw if u want this game just to play online on dedicated servers, its totally free, just check this link for instructions: http://v2gaming.org/

Hope I helped u, this is defenitely a great game :)

I loved this game, everything about it, the music, the levels, the betrayals. Had it since release way back in the day. 10/10 will undoubtedly play many times in the future.

The campaign carries on from the events from MW, The early and late battles in Afghanistan are fun and stimulating, the Russian invasion of continental US is theatrical and memorable. These sections being my personal favourites the music and atmosphere are incredible, "Of Their Own Accord" and "Whiskey Hotel" are phenominal from the moment you start in the trench bunker until you stand at top the ruins.

The Spec-Ops was a blast, both played alone, or co-op with a friend. A friend is optional but highly recommend specially if you're looking to play the 2 best levels, "Overwatch" and "Big Brother"

the Mulitplayer I never touched so I wont pass judgement.

Product received for free
A really fun game for people who like FPS's. You can play on a variety of maps on a great and competitive multiplayer with friends or play a really fun campaign. It has the classic COD feel and isn't hard to figure out. It doesn't have the best graphics because it is an older game but that doesn't take away from the game at all. Anyone who likes COD games and FPS's I would highly recommend this game to you or anyone who wants to try COD out.

CoD MW2 was the first shootergame i ever played. Back in the days i used to play it on my xBox 360 but some time ago I bought it for steam too.

positive Aspects:
+ The Singleplayer is absolutely
great

+ a whole bunch of missions with, for the releasetime, very good script sequences
+ a lot of turns and surprises in the story
+ very fun multiplayer mode with motivation to get to lvl 70

negative Aspects:
- Story is partly fragmentary
- Nowadays you get kicked waay to much because every idiot is able to get a so called "kicktool"
- Way to much cheaters on the servers in the last time

In the old days the game used to be great but nowadays i can only commend it for collectors, guys that are interrested in the singleplayer and if you want to play private matches with your friends.

Kind regards

The big friendly Stoner
