Can't believe the community on this game still in 2016. I got this game as ♥♥♥♥ and gigs then to realise the community is still very strong with servers filtering out the hackers and improving the game still. 10/10

Campaign is gripping.
Multiplayer is how it should be.
My ChildHood game
One of my favourite games, good content and open maps unlike how they are after MW3
Less hackers here than MW3

Buy this in a sale or on a third party website. Not worth £20. The games 7 years old :)

Up front: 9/10
High production values stand up pretty well even by today's standards. Controls are tight and the campaign is varied and interesting, as are the weapons. There are times when there seem to just be an obscene number of bad guys throwing themselves at you, but that is forgivable given that the gunplay stays fast and interesting. This is not an Arma sim, this is a well-polished arcade-paced gunslinger experience and it is just plain fun. Beat the campaign on hardened (3rd of 4 possible difficulty levels) in 7.5hrs which was a bit shorter than expected. The campaign itself has moderate replay value at best. The special ops missions (roughly 3 dozen) give you the opportunity to challenge your skills in a wide variety of ways so there is some replay value there, especially given that they can be played co-op. All in all, still worth 10 bucks on sale in the year 2016.

That moment when you get shot from afar with a grenade launcher and have no way of countering it.

That moment when the enemy has snipers in a map you can't counter snipers in.

That moment when submachine guns are more versatile and all-purpose than assault rifles.

That moment when you die thanks to a camper who then proceeds to steal your care package including an AC-130.

That moment when you're an Insurgency player but still get a mediocre K/D/A thanks to all the imbalances and cheaters.

I don't care. This game is awesome. 9/12. Would Quickscope myself again with reflected Friendly Fire.

I never liked any Modern Warfare for some reason, but i recently played the campaign and from being a Modern Warfare hater now MW2 is one of my favourite campaigns in any CoD, i know Cod 4, Mw2 and Mw3 have the same story but i guess il buy Mw1 and 3 to see the entire story

10/10

preaty fun game and works on 2 gb RAM pcs that cant even hold just cause 2! The servers are very alive so if you have a old/bad pc (laptop) I recomend this game the only bad thing is online servers crash a lot, but the story has a giant cliff hanger (no spoilers)

decs: servers crash

cons: everything other then that!
