Ladies and Gentlemen, the all important November 10, 2009 has come and gone leaving in its wake canceled appointments, skipped classes, lost sleep and annoyed roommates. Yes, I’m referring to none other than the release date of quite possible the most highly anticipated game since Halo 3: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (MW2). This game in only 5 days of sell through, has shattered preceding video game and even box office incomes with an outstanding $550 million gross. This game has become a pop culture phenomenon. Infinity Ward and Activision have truly outdone themselves.
The game more than lives up to the hype. Rising above and beyond the call of duty, this Call of Duty is the best by a landslide. With an intense storyline, excellent game play, awesome new guns, perks, equipment, vehicles and missions, there is literally nothing to let you down. The plot is challenging, engaging and fun as all hell broken loose. Quite possible the best addition to the new game play is the end of the infuriating “infinity spawn” dilemma. In past games, players had to cross an invisible line in the linear playing maps before the enemies would stop spawning. Now the players can actually take a more tactical approach and eliminate enemies before exposing themselves to danger.
The online play is fantastic, with a whole new set of perks to boost your characters prowess, a whole menagerie of new guns to play with and so many achievements and challenges to play that you’re looking at months and months if not years of replays value. I cannot recommend this game highly enough. Get it. Get it now.
