Modern Warfare II A Look Ahead By Cornelius Plomp

One of the most hotly anticipated games of 2009, Modern Warfare 2, which launches on November 10, is the sequel to the extremely popular Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare, which won numerous awards. With amazing graphics, sounds, gameplay, multiplayer, and story, Modern Warfare 2 looks to be least as good as the original, if not better.

The graphics engine is almost the same as the first game, as is the sound, so those are expected to once again be top-notch, and the previews so far have not disappointed. The story is still (partly) secret, but most people are confident it will be as good as the prequel.

The biggest change will be to the multiplayer, with the producer removing the dedicated servers (a way to easily play online for free, at the risk of cheaters and bots), and many new rewards and options, such as using a Riot Shield to soak up bullets, or calling in a Care Package (which contains things such as health packs and ammo).

All in all, Modern Warfare looks to be another great game, and definitely worth picking up this holiday season.
