call of duty modern warfare 2, for once an overhyped game that was completly true to the hype!!!!!

hey all, being that my last review was about over hyped games and similar subject matter, i feel this is a great exception to that and found myself retracting alot of statements this weekend.so Friday night i went to Blockbuster to get a game and a movie, the original plan was lost planet but it was out and this place had like 30 copies of modern warfare 2, so i grabbed it and said fuck it lets give it a whirl.

upon getting home i threw it in the old 360 and let the multi player load first because i was with a few friends. the multi player was fantastic, when the friends I'm with (being huge halo fans and addicts) all simultaneously said out loud "this is way better than halo" i knew infinity ward had really created a multi player masterpiece no joke! ill get into detail in a minute, but now how good can the story mode be?

well i hit start and was ready to switch on and off playing single player with a friend when a disclaimer comes on the screen that stated in not exact words but close "some scenes in this game are extremely disturbing for even mature audiences, please proceed with caution , would you like to skip the disturbing parts?" so like usual i said hell no gimme the whole game i doubt these scenes are disturbing at all. well let me say this when the first one comes on the screen i personally guarantee of you have any humanity at all or heart you will be completely not only desensitized but mortified and taken back big time, the whole room of my friends and i all went " ugh oooohhhh wow that's not really cool at all" so seriously heed that warning and take it very seriously.now for a war game i found myself so involved and into the story that when certain parts happen i as well as the rest of my friends were all like oh fuck that , fuck him or fuck her. so that was a pleasant surprise.the story was a decent length and very difficult but not dishearteningly difficult that you don't wanna play.

OK so lets get to the multi player, the maps and map selection are great, alot of good maps for sure, as well as game types and classes.we started with he usual free for all and team death match, later moving on to capture the flag which is difficult with 4 players.the firefights are intense in multi player and make you have a real good time especially since the HUD(heads up display) is not dummy proof, if someone is above you it doesn't tell you, just lets you think your in the right spot, which is challenging and enjoyable.after countless matches with my best friends this weekend i can officially say this is the definitive 4 player shooting game.

the controls are fluid however may take a little getting used to. i feel the melee on the right thumb stick click is a little difficult to use.and the weapon switch is easy using the y button but the variant of your weapon(some of them) is usually left or right on the dpad.i don't wanna give to much away but the controls are very easy to master and even easier to forget when switching to another shooter such as borderlands.there is a special ops mode which is like a challenge mission mode for split screen or xbox live and they really ate challenges for sure.now to wrap this up i want to say this, thank you infinity ward for not only an amazing game but a new appreciation for the call of duty series as well as over hyped games and a new found open mindedness for them. also thank you for one of the most enveloping and creative games i have seen in a long time. my overall opinion is a 5 out of 5, a must own!!!
