    Upon the release of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare , players were instantly marvelled by the deeply engaging story, compelling gameplay and fantastically designed multiplayer. When Call of Duty: World at War was announced, many of us moaned at the prospect of going back to the battlefields of World War 2 in what was seemingly a step backwards for the series. Now with the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, many of us have been... Read more

    If you're looking for some campaign-style action unburdened by any sort of plot, then Special Ops is the place to go. The timed missions are campaign excerpts from Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare that you can play solo or with a friend, either split-screen or online. The missions cover a variety of objectives, which include surviving waves of enemies, moving from point A to point B stealthily (or not), eliminating a certain number of enemies, and... Read more

    Modern Warfare 2 is undoubtedly the single biggest release this year; not only in gaming but in entertainment, period. It delivers in a lot of areas; it has a campaign marinated in grandeur (even if it is to short) and a deep, engaging multiplayer facet (even if it is littered with connectivity issues). So it's not without its problems, no-one is claiming it's perfect. But as a follow-up to 2007's smash, Call of Duty 4, it progresses in nearly every way. Unfortunately,... Read more

    On face value, the game deserves every rave review bestowed upon it. Unfortunately here in Australia, there is one major caveat preventing me from bestowing it the highest of accolades. The matchmaking system is flawed. Seriously flawed. Sometimes it takes literally minutes to find a game. If you are set up as a party of friends then it could take longer than that. A party of three of my friends took us 20 minutes to find a game we could connect to. Also party chat is... Read more

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is without a doubt one of the most balanced and enjoyable shooters ever. While the single-player campaign lacks a coherent story and is incredibly short, it’s still great fun to play as the gameplay and presentation are both fantastic. The multiplayer experience is ultimately where it’s at, with MW2 offering the fantastic Spec Ops, as well as an improved multiplayer that maintains many of the great aspects of COD4 , while also improving...
