Tuesday, November 10th, 2009 at 8:44 pm

Modern Warfare 2 is the most-anticipated game of the year and the sequel to the best-selling first-person action game of all time.


Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (previously marketed as simply Modern Warfare 2 is developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. Tthe game was released worldwide on November 10, 2009. It is the sixth installment of the Call of Duty series, and the direct sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, continuing along the same storyline.

The developer has stated that the game’s proprietary IW 4.0 game engine is an improvement over the engine used in its previous game.

The online multiplayer mode of Modern Warfare 2 retains the same experience points and unlockable reward system of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, but also introduces several new features.

Aside from new weapons and equipment, 15 different kill streak rewards can be unlocked and selected by the player. Among these is the ability to receive a supply drop after four kills, a predator missile strike after five kills, and to call in a strike by an gunship after achieving 11 enemy kills in a row. It is also now possible to upgrade perks to a “pro version”. Another new addition to online multiplayer is in-game host migration – if a match host leaves the game, instead of the match ending (as in Call of Duty 4), a 5 second ‘host migration delay’ allows a new host to be selected and the game to continue. There has also been the addition of a new 3rd person mode which can be used in certain game types for multiplayer. Game modes include Free-For-All, Search & Destroy, Demolition, Domination, Team Deathmatch, and Capture The Flag
