Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Shatters Records... Obviously
I'm sold. My first Pre-Order Since GTA 5.
Modern Warfare 2’s open beta was the most downloaded beta in COD history, offering brand-new game modes, impressive gunplay, and a powerful graphic overhaul.
Nearly three weeks have passed since the open beta of Modern Warfare 2 filled up my SSD. Here’s how it went.
Immediately jumping into the game felt different — most notably new skill trees for progression, an overhauled gunsmith experience, and the lack of slide canceling. The combination of all these changes is pushing Call of Duty in a new direction. Time to kill has increased, granting more opportunities to evade your enemy and grab some cover. Killstreaks and scorestreaks feel incredibly rewarding, returning classic awards like the mortar strike and chopper gunner.
With a seemingly overwhelming amount of customization options, the new gunsmith overhaul packs some serious heat. The M4 shined in the multiplayer experience. Customization options helped me pick a setup for the new large 40+ player lobbies, as I opted for longer barrels and ranged optics for the open roads my team traversed in domination lobbies. I bounced between game modes equally, dividing my time between Team Deathmatch, Domination, and Search and Destroy.
