CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 2
The coolest game I’ve ever played in my life (besides Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time)! It has guns, violence, and close-encounter fighting/stabbing, cussing and best of all, big armored vehicles with big guns. What can entertain the world more than Modern Warefare2?!
It has online multiplayer so that you can PWN your friends or other jerks that kill you by friendly fire saying my bad and calling you names (just say “Then why am I PWNing you?”). Single player has of course single player; you can go through levels where it gets harder every time like you are chasing this guy down an alley and they tell you to go for a non-lethal shot (I shot him in the back :D) which is the leg. At the beginning you start out as a guy in the army and you have to shoot targets and learn all the basics. Let me not spoil it for you.
It also has, Spec. Ops which you can team up with a buddy, dad, mom, uncle, aunt, cousin, brother, sister, cat, dog, parrot, and frog to go through a series of levels that of course get harder every time. It has Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, and Echo. Alpha is good for beginners and you can come back to it on veteran with ease. Like Suspension, it’s a very cool level once you beat it. ***Here’s a strategy tip if you already have it; before you start get weapons with a scope on it. Get a rifle and a machine gun with a scope (very useful don’t turn this weapon down!) and before you start you see a van on the left. Now the terrorist come from the left and right so have your partner go to the right of the bridge. DO NOT go past the van on the left or else that will trigger the enemies to come. Once you and your partner are satisfied with your weapons, go and get your machinegun with scope (not red-dot sight) and look down the right or left side of the bridge and advance. Once you see enemies dropping in eliminate them and then do the same when you pass the taxi cab on your left (<-).
There is a gas truck that still has gas. If enemies still get past your elimination line (they won’t if you do the trick right) take cover and throw a frag grenade under the truck from far back. Now if it exploded under the truck it should ignite the gas tank (for the truck not the big one), the front of the truck should be on fire so start shooting the big tank and it will explode. If you stand to close it will incapacitate so make sure you are behind the taxi cab or somewhere else behind you.
The bridge will start to tilt after you pass the gas truck, don’t panic, you will live. Go over the obstacles and then you will go above the broken bridge where you will fight a lot more of enemies (on veteran). Obtain the RPG and shoot the cars so that they will explode and kill your enemies. Then get behind the small barricade and lay down. I know it might not be the best Idea but trust me this will help. Go to the edge of the barricade where you will be elevated by the sidewalk, get your sniper out and start the slaughter. For your partner get him/her to go to the other edge to where you can barely peek out.
Save your grenades for this part. Feel free to throw flash bangs and stun your enemies. While they are stunned get up and pick ‘em off one by one.
On Bravo there is a level called Big Brother, It is difficult. Here is my strategy that my dad and I use to survive it.
When you start out run out of that ditch and DON’T take cover. It sounds crazy but with your buddy hailing lead onto your enemies, you’ll be fine. On the left there are about 3 enemies that are probably going to annoy you if you don’t eliminate them, one has a Striker shotgun and if you kill him you can take his weapon. Once you eliminated them go down the street and get into the garage and let your buddy pummel them.
Get out when he/she gives you the green light or tells you “okay, it’s clear”. Hop over that wooden thing and go to the next garage. Repeat this and keep hiding in the garages. You’ll see an ammo box on the right of the street; go up to it and replenish your ammo. Walk a little in front of the ammo box until your enemies start coming out. Take cover from behind the ammo box and your partner in the helicopter should take ‘em out for you.
Don’t try to take out the entire terrorist wave, they will outnumber you! When you’re taking cover from behind the ammo box 1-3, no more, will try to flank you from the left so be alert. Advance once your buddy gives you the green light to go. On the right you will see 3-6, at most, hiding behind the end of the yard where there’s wood stopping it.
Attack and eliminate the terrorist hiding behind the dumpster in the ally (sometimes happens so don’t let your guard down) and go down the ally on the right. Hide behind the last pillar after the side door to that restaurant. Your partner should take out every enemy they see to make this easier for you.
Now head to the “Applebee’s” (that’s what my dad and I call it) and take cover behind the black car and shoot into the restaurant. Now, on your left you will see a yellow car, sprint towards it and don’t stop until you are on the left of the yellow car. Sprint pass the helicopter and hide in FRONT of the cop car (be alert! There are probably enemies hiding behind it). You will see the side entrance to the “Applebee’s” on your left if you are pointed towards the back of the car.
Now, on the left of that car is another door to skip the entire terrorist groupie inside. You are in the kitchen, so on the right are all of the terrorists. On the left (if you are pointed towards the diner part of the Applebee’s) you will see a ladder that will take you to the roof, go up the ladder and fend off the remaining terrorist in the diner coming up the ladder. Your helicopter buddy should come for you (if it doesn’t then you have a glitch in the game), jump on and you will have earned 3 stars.
Bottom line is, if you like guns, violence, strategy, and blow-ups then this is a must-buy game. I give it a 9 out of 10. It could’ve been better but the blood-splatter gets annoying because I have bad vision where it’s hard to concentrate and it throws off my accuracy (that is the other .5). The other thing is, gore, I mean don’t you love lobbing a grenade and then you see limbs fly? I do (that’s the other .5). This is an awesome game and I don’t even like the Call of Duty series until now.
