Final Review Score

9.3 / 10

Amazing

The original Modern Warfare sequel expands Task Force 141’s pursuit of a dangerous ultranationalist threat into a globe-spanning military thriller.

Gameplay and Presentation

The campaign embraces huge set pieces and rapid changes in perspective, while multiplayer adds an expansive selection of weapons, perks, maps, and streak rewards. Its fast pace and dramatic mission design helped make it a multiplayer touchstone.

The Final Verdict

Some controversial storytelling choices and unbalanced multiplayer combinations have aged unevenly. Even so, the game’s ambition and memorable encounters make it a major franchise landmark.
