Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 PC Review by GameDemo.com
Official Quickie Review of CODMW2 by Kevin Carney at GameDemo.com

A Quickie review of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 PC Version for an A&P Mechanic that is P-Whipped and obsessed with killing deer.

First how to join up with a friend or clan:

I just played against a clan that always was on the same side. The guys told me you can create a “party” and all be together in the same game(if you like).  It is pretty easy.

You have two times to join up with friends:

1. The first time in when you are just boot up the game and you are at the first menu screen (this area you can invite people to your party) - then you launch the game you will be all on the same side.

2. The second time you can join is when a friend is in a game already and invites you in (but there needs to be room) it is a crapshoot if you will be on the same side.

 

Things I like:

- The multiplayer maps are really well done. Lots of flanking and flanking of the flanking.

- Lots of weapons and add-ons to the weapons.

- Kill Streak rewards – kill x amount of guys get treats. Like a attack helicopter that lets you shoot the gun remotely from a laptop or be the gunner in a C-130 remotely from a laptop)(find a nice place to hide for these)

- Martyrdom is gone (poor Eric how will he ever get any kills anymore) – well it is sort of gone. You can use it as a Death Streak Power Up. In other words you die (I think it is 4 times in a row, without a single kill, the next time you die you drop a nade

- Heartbeat sensors on guns

- Riot Class – bulletproof shield (you're slower and can't shoot when you have shield up but you can take point can draw fire / cover the guys on your six)

- There is a coop mode for single player missions. Really cool, one of the mission I love is you have to give cover from a C-130 to your team mate on the ground. (call out targets, bomb the living piss out of a group of enemies coming down on your teammate) Also there is a village mission were you have to kill x amount of bad guys (problem is there is civilians running around in this village too) (note also don't like things about coop more later)

- If the server “shits the bed” there is a CHANCE with game might be saved.  The game pauses and searches for a new host and the game start backup at the point it crashed.

Things I don’t like:

- no dedicated servers – but the more I am playing the less that this is an issue for me. I am not on any clan(lack of time a clan would deserve), the only reason I host servers is to self promote GameDemo.com so it is not a big deal to me personally but I can see how it bothers some to have lack of control.

- The coop missions are very linear and very predictable. You quickly learn, cross this trigger point and bad guys come out of this spot. It is fun trying for the 3 star award but after that the replay value is near zero.

- Steam erhh the whole big brother thing, we want to know what games you are playing and when (however they do make it easy to join friends)

 

In short:

I like the game. No real regrets buying it.  The whole "porting a Console Game for PC" yes the single player stinks of console-ness and yes we PC gamers have grown to accept small PC gaming companies growing into large gaming companies changing thier bugets from 90% development to 90% marketing / 10% development.  Even with all that said, the multiplayer on the pc ROCKS.  I just wish they would finish the transition and let us PC gamers play those thumbers on the console. Don't worry PC gamers, eventually consoles will become PCs.
