Modern Warfare 2 PS3

Modern Warfare 2 is here. And it is stunning. Battlegrounds travelled in the game vary from the desolate, snow-clad mountains of Kazakhstan, to dark, foreboding tunnels in Afghanistan and the over populated slums of Rio. Modern Warfare 2 doesn't cinclude any cutscenes, so players are constantly engaged in the action, no matter what is happening in the game.

The latest storyline of Modern Warfare 2 carries on where the story of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare left off. The leader of the ultranationalist Russian party Zakhaev has been assassinated, but it looks like his second in command, Vladimir Makarov, is an even deadlier foe. After making a successful power play, Intel indicates that he is expanding the limits of his influence much further than the borders of Mother Russia, creating a riumbling in the international community and igniting the deployment of Task Force 141.

Each player mission is focused on a particular aim, with players employing some elements of guidance from NPC individuals, including "Soap" MacTavish, and navigation is made easier by the game's heads up display (HUD). During each mission players will be able to employ the use of a wide selection of weapons and vehicles, and can also customize weapons with technology attached to them.

The latest release in arguably the most successful tactical first-person shooter franchise of all-time, gameplay in Modern Warfare 2 follows the same winning and time-tested structure of earlier games in the series. In the single player campaign players are aided by AI squad members as they take on a series of missions aimed at eliminating Ultranationalist forces.

Also, just as in previous games in the series, Modern Warfare 2 is heavily focused on multiplayer gameplay. The different multiplayer modes, available both in local play and online, contain plenty of customization options and revolve around different strategies ranging from the every man for himself action of "Free-for All," the classic team-based fun of "Capture the Flag and the tactical, team-oriented action of "Search and Destroy," just to name a few.

Modern Warfare 2 PS3 is a first-person tactical shooter and the sixth entry in the popular Call of Duty series. True to its name and following the lead of its predecessor, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, it places players in modern combat settings, as opposed to the WWII environments of the earlier Call of Duty games. This modern approach brings with it new weapons, action and options. Coupled with a variety of gameplay modes including single player, multiplayer and the co-op Special Ops Mode, it is destined to be one of the most popular games of 2009 and a worthy addition to the Call of Duty series.

Task Force 141 is an elite multinational unit made up of Navy Seals, Delta Force operatives, British SAS and CIA. In the single player campaign you are Sergeant Gary "Roach" Sanderson, with the hero of Call of Duty 4, "Soap" MacTavish, promoted to Captain, making an appearance as an NPC (non-player character) and your commanding officer. The elimination of Makarov and his underlings at any cost is your number one priority, regardless where the fight occurs.

The special ops missions are additional content missions that, for the most part, resemble campaign missions from either Modern Warfare 2's single-player campaign or, on occasion, from that of Call of Duty 4. You can play the missions solo or with a friend on split screen or over Xbox Live, etc. The ops are divided into 5 categories of difficulty, Alpha through Echo.
