Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Brings Both Familiarity and Innovation

My life has changed drastically over the years, but the shining light of the Call of Duty franchise has remained a constant throughout my adolescence. Despite its highs, such as Modern Warfare 2 and the original Black Ops, and its lows, such as Black Ops 4 and Infinite Warfare, the game has always welcomed players.

Modern Warfare rebooted and seemed like the beginning of Call of Duty’s glorious new chapter, but I followed up with a few games that didn’t work well. Black Ops Cold War’s multiplayer was a walk back from the entry prior to it, and while Vanguard had Modern Warfare’s fantastic gameplay, the zombies were a mistake, and multiplayer was not for me.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is the next real step forward. Having played the campaign to the fullest and sank hours upon hours into multiplayer, I’m certain this is a Call of Duty game that all fans of the franchise need to check out.
