The Drill Charge will force the the camper out of their position, or they will die if it explodes. This is a godsend when you know that there is someone camping on the other side of the wall, but do not want to take the risk of peeking them. It is a grenade-like device that can drill through walls and explode at the opposite end of where you threw it from. The Drill Charge is perhaps the best thing to be added into a Call of Duty game in a while. This in turn promotes camping even more, but even then, the game provides you with alternatives to flush out campers like the Drill Charge. Tried and true modes like Team Deathmatch, Free-For-All and Domination are back with new maps.īecause of the more grounded gameplay, you have less players performing fast-paced crazy movements that you will struggle to fire at. It is still your run-of-the-mill Call of Duty multiplayer mode. Nothing stands out like a sore thumb, yet nothing deserves a standing ovation either. It is quite a bummer that it isn't used or explored further, as it does exemplify the 'guerrilla warfare' aspect of the game.īut in general, while the campaign isn't as gritty as the one in 2019, it is still a fun ride nonetheless. The crafting system is also a great addition to the Call of Duty gameplay, but sees no use outside of two campaign missions. Maybe this system will make an appearance in the upcoming revamp of Warzone 2.0, to make it in line with something like Apex Legends or PUBG. The freedom to be able to play around and improvise with what you have in your backpack makes combat much more interesting. Past Call of Duty games never had this mechanic, which is akin to Apex Legend's backpack. The backpack system allows you to pick and choose a couple of useful items to use from it, like swapping from a flash grenade to a smoke grenade, and is a great idea to keep the gameplay fresh for Call of Duty. From the backpack system to the crafting system, there are many great ideas in the campaign that I wish were explored a little further or implemented in other portions of the game like the multiplayer mode. Without any spoilers, the campaign tries a lot of new concepts in Modern Warfare 2. Let's take a look at the individual modes. The feedback of guns feel great, most of them take some skill to control the recoil and bullet spread (unless if you are using a controller, more on that later). Two weeks into the game and there are still no obvious candidates for an 'overpowered' gun which can laser you down no matter the range. Gunplay feels much more balanced this time around. Gameplay in the campaign and multiplayer mode is even more grounded than it was in 2019, with Activision removing the capability to slide-cancel (you were able to jump after sliding previously and still keep your sliding momentum), but adding the ability to dive into a prone position instead from a sprint. Modern Warfbuilds on the foundation that was already set with the 2019 remake. Not only that, Modern Warfare 2019 was also the base of Activision's hit battle royale, Warzone, a free-to-play battle royale that took elements from the multiplayer mechanics of Modern Warfare and made it its own entity.Īt the core, it really doesn't look that much different from Call of Duty games of the past. The campaign's story brought back beloved characters like Captain Price from the original 2007 Modern Warfare series, and also attempted to tell a gritty story that wasn't present in a Call of Duty game since the Black Ops series. Modern Warfare 2019 was a pretty good game. So how does the last entry into a series of annual releases play? Is there enough to sustain the fanbase for a whole two years till the next title releases? However, Modern Warfare 2 is the last in this annual release cycle, as Activision is looking to break the chain in 2023 with the Call of Duty series. The Call of Duty series has been an annual affair for Activision since 2005, that one game released every single year, for the past seventeen years.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 continues the story from the 2019 reboot of the Modern Warfare series.
