Extra! Extra! Read All About It! Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is the fastest-selling Call of Duty ever and surpassed $800 million in its opening weekend, beating out the previous record holder of MW3 in 2011. What is Call of Duty? Call of Duty is an outstanding first-person shooter game franchise. The legend begins in 2003, the first Call of Duty. It was a new brand that sold 4.5 million copies, showing excellent quality and brand recognition. COD is my favourite FPS game. I have played every single one of the franchises, and in my opinion, Morden Warfare 2 (2009) is the best.
Meanwhile, the new reboot MW2 (2022) is just a little behind. Single-player/Story Mode There are no special ops in MW2(2022), which is disappointing. Special-ops are collections of mini-challenges alongside main stories but in the same storyline. For example, there is a scene that a plane has been hijacked by terrorists, which is a background story in the main level, which means the player has no control of that situation. But in special ops, you can play a special agent to save the people on the plane and compete with other players to see who finishes the challenge in a shorter time. The music is the other thing MW2 (2009) triumphs over the new one. The music in MW2 (2009) was created by Hans Zimmer, an award-winning world-famous composer. He composed for many movies, including Interstellar, Inception, Lion King, etc. Story-wise, in MW2 (2022), they have to follow the mainstream: political correctness, gender equality, and racial equality. These are all very laudable, but they put a strain on storytelling. However, MW2 (2022) takes advantage of newer technology and sophisticated gameplay design. It has better graphics, sound effects, and a smoother shooting experience. You may not know that CODs are famous for their well-designed multiplayer mode. The storyline is under 8 hours, but players spend thousands of hours on multiplayer. There is more to discuss in this area, like map/level design, weapon system design, and game mode design, but I cannot cover them all now. Please follow my entries if you want to know more.
