This is where the length of the campaign is more than made up for, with Infinity Ward building upon the excellent work started in Call of Duty 4. Despite a short length of just five hours, the single-player mode packs in more adrenaline-pumping sequences, unforgettable climaxes and truly shocking scenes than most games that run twice as long.īacking up the single-player is, of course, the online multiplayer. It’s like five Hollywood action movies smashed into each other on a busy road and Modern Warfare 2 was the result of the messy collision. Taking the best parts of every FPS you’ve ever experienced and then making them even more amazing, Modern Warfare 2 provides consistent entertainment and fantastically paced gameplay that has no rival. The overall plot may be inane and poorly stitched together, but Modern Warfare 2‘s campaign is something that has to be played. The overall story becomes a garbled mess that makes very little sense, which is amazing considering how well crafted each individual chapter actually is. Huge plot points come and go in a matter of seconds, and things that should be consequential and important get lost in the mass of shockers and endless twists. The game is so focused on giving us the next big explosion that nothing is allowed to build to a crescendo. Infinity Ward has no equal when it comes to self-contained, interactive narrative elements, but the studio fails at pulling the drawstrings together to create a flowing plot that makes sense. As a coherent story, however, the game slips up.
