Although I haven't been able to check out the game's multiplayer mode, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 I managed to complete my adventure with. So, I say I succeeded because I struggled, especially in the last missions. Of course, I will talk about these in detail throughout the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 review article. I don't want to start complaining now and give the wrong impression. So, let's get into the details as soon as possible so I can explain my problem.
Now, of course, I won't dive directly into the topic. After all, when talking about the game, it would be better to separate it title by title. Because it would be much more useful to give information about what kind of experience I gained in which subject. The first topic I will talk about right now will be the gameplay issue. Afterwards, I will express my comments about the story, its visuals, sounds and optimization. Of course, I will share my opinion at the end. So, let's start with the gameplay.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 review: Gameplay
Before talking about the gameplay in my Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 review article, let me underline that the last Call of Duty series game I played was Call of Duty Black Ops 4. So, I haven't played Call of Duty in a long time. Therefore, things that seem beautiful and different to me may not be so new. I ask you to take this into consideration.
In terms of gameplay, it definitely felt colorful to me. When I say colorful, I mean doing different things. Even jumping from vehicle to vehicle in the convoy and dealing with enemies and traps while doing so was very enjoyable. But, of course, there were places that seemed unnecessary and strange. As an example of this, I can show you the crafting system in the game, also known as craft.
First, I would like to talk about the colors I like. When I think about this, the first thing that comes to my mind is convoy duty. In the convoy mission, we jump from vehicle to vehicle and capture that vehicle. We kill enemy soldiers with the vehicle we captured. Of course, on the other hand, we need to pay attention to the life of the vehicle. In fact, we need to pay close attention to the road while driving. Because it is possible for you to suddenly step on a mine and explode.
Even though it seems complex and very tiring, it actually wasn't tiring at all. In fact, it was one of the best episodes where I lost myself in the atmosphere. Moreover, there is a part where we lose everything. In this episode, a massacre is taking place and we, half crippled and half standing, try to get past the enemies and reach Ghost. Now, “Oh, how different(!).” you can say. However, while playing this part, there were moments when I was seriously scared. The atmosphere managed to grab me and draw me in very well. Dark streets, destroyed houses, distressing scenes... When all of them come together, you really get carried away, unintentionally.
What else can you say about the gameplay?
Another thing I want to talk about in my Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 review article is a section that feels like an open world. Because, in this section, even though you may feel like you are in the open world, you are not. However, the game delivers the environment so well that you really feel like you're hanging out in the open world. You have to hide from enemies, reach somewhere and clear those places. I don't know how to explain it because I don't want to give spoilers and spoil the fun of the game. But let me tell you that such a part is waiting for you in the game. Also, there is a ship section that I really liked. Because the idea of fighting enemies while containers and boxes are coming at you is very sweet.
Of course, not everything looked so appealing while playing the game. For example, this craft system. Frankly, it felt really unnecessary. Did it harm realism? No, but there is no need. Because, even though it wasn't in the part where we were dealing with the first craft, it was a huge problem when it happened to us at the very end of the game. On the one hand, I had to follow the enemies approaching me, and on the other hand, I had to chase supplies. Moreover, before I did this, I was trying hard to neutralize things.
Now, there is another point that I do not like that I would like to underline. But, I will explain this directly and clearly. Therefore, I would understand if you want to skip this paragraph without reading it. In the penultimate episode, we fight with the tank. We need to throw the C4 bombs we find around at this tank and detonate them. If I'm not mistaken, it gets destroyed in 4 explosions. But, you are tortured until you do these 4 things. Because what you have to fight at that moment is not just tanks. At the same time, soldiers are coming towards you. Moreover, they are battleships. Armored soldiers are truly bullet sponges.
There is another bad thing that I want to underline in my Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 review article. I'll mention this here because I think it's more about gameplay. The game closes when your internet connection is interrupted. I have reached the end of the game, I have defeated 1 enemy, I have a knife in my hand for the other enemy, but at that moment my internet connection was intermittent and it kicked me out of the game. That's all I have to say, thank you.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 review: Story
I would advise you not to expect anything too big about the story. Because there was nothing that surprised me in terms of the story. It was only because of the atmosphere's ability to draw me in that I became angry at times and enraged at others. As the story goes, 3 rockets fall into the wrong hands. We are also after these rockets. While doing this, we hang out in Mexico, America, seas, oceans, deserts and forests. At one point, someone stabs us in the back or something. So, in terms of the story, "Oh, there was such a plot twist that I lost my life." There was absolutely nothing I could say, I'm sorry.
Let me wrap up the story for my Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 review article. 141 Team is a team we really know and are used to. In the midst of global conflicts, there is this team again. As the Activision team underlines, “Feel yourself in the war with your friends in many operations, from small-scale but high-risk infiltration operations to highly secret missions.” It can be said. Indeed, we manage to be a part of that war. Also, the range of weapons is really good. It is possible to finish the story in around 7-8 hours. During this time, there are also a bunch of weapons you can try out.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 review: Visuals
In terms of visuals, an absolutely great job has been done. You may have already seen the Amsterdam stage of the play on the internet. Moreover, these are not the only legendary scenes in the game. There are many more wonderful scenes in the game. Each one tastes different. I mentioned that part where we were trying to find Ghost? In that episode, they hit the rock bottom of visuals. Aside from the horror inside the houses, the fact that some places have extremely scary images and manage to scare even though it is not a horror game is a completely different success.
Imagine raiding enemy locations in slightly foggy weather. Moreover, you are wearing camouflage and gliding through the grass and mud. Everything looked so good that there were moments when I felt Price's foot in my mouth. It's definitely not a joke, it's real.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 review: Optimization
Frankly, I can't complain much about this because I didn't have any problems with optimization. Of course, it also has something to do with the PC I'm playing this game on. However, the game sometimes lags slightly during gameplay. At those moments, I realize that the game is loading something, saving something, or I have reached a checkpoint. In general, I did not encounter any bugs in the game. Only, at one point, Alejandro managed to pass through the oncoming pickup truck. These kinda things happena.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 review: Sounds and effects
In the previous parts of my Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 review article, I mentioned that I could really get into the atmosphere very well. One of the biggest factors in this is definitely the sounds and effects. It is possible to talk about many details, whether it is the bullets flying around you or the footsteps drowned out by rain and thunder.
When the sounds and effects are used well, you will definitely be immersed in the atmosphere. I don't know if I'm lucky, but I didn't have any sound problems throughout the game. However, I have also seen scenes online where NPCs who are speaking sometimes do not move their mouths at all. You can find one of these on the channel called videogamedunkey. But, as I said, nothing like that happened to me. I, too, was able to dive into the atmosphere easily and enjoy the game to the fullest.
What is the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 review conclusion?
When making this evaluation, I definitely won't be thinking about price tags. Because the situations are well known. There is no need to discuss this issue unnecessarily. The game's multiplayer mode is not open yet. So, I didn't have a chance to try the multiplayer mode. However, in the coming days, you may see articles about the multiplayer mode on our site. Also, let me reiterate that I haven't played a Call of Duty game in a really long time.
Now that I've mentioned the things I need to underline, let me move on to my comment. In my opinion, it is a colorful and beautiful game. I had an explosive experience, from the moments when we secretly infiltrated the enemies to the scenes of bullet hell where we were shot for no reason. Could it be better? I think yes. Because, as I mentioned before, there are a few titles that are problematic for me. But, do these few titles make the game bad? Never. In my opinion, it is a very nice and successful game. I will be eagerly waiting for the multiplayer mode.
