All Modern Warfare 2 must be is a great shooter, and it delivers. This is the Call of Duty expertise, deconstructed, reconsidered, and obsessively optimized over 15 uninterrupted years of iteration. I know after I'm enjoying a Black Ops game because it has offbeat arcade modes and the latest iteration of Nuketown. I know I am enjoying a Modern Warfare game because the shooting is so finely tuned that I wish to take my Gunsmith build out to dinner. Infinity Ward has officially mastered the instant gratification of aiming down sights and deleting targets.  
  
That goes a protracted way, although a few of Modern Warfare 2's biggest swings, corresponding to revamped progression and a genre-bending campaign, are less elegant. It also suffers from an obtuse UI, fits of crashes, weird bugs, and the unexplained absence of fundamental features like stat tracking. But altogether, it's a great year for Call of Duty.  
  
Gunplay  
I said in 2019's CoD evaluation that Modern Warfare "sets the bar high for first-individual gun feel." Consider Modern Warfare 2 the new bar. Ballistics are once again physically simulated (not hitscan), but you would not know it from enjoying on common 6v6 maps. On area maps with brief sightlines, weapons behave like lasers that instantly tag targets. Jump into a 64-player Ground War match and the same weapons accommodate to firefights spanning whole city blocks, requiring players to lead shots and account for bullet drop. It is kind of wild how versatile and seamless the system is—even in the most recent Battlefield, a series that's dealt in simulated ballistics for 20 years, guns are a little too slow up close.  
  
Modern Warfare 2's silky physics compare favorably in the event you've been playing Vanguard for the past 12 months, and even better when you've stuck with Cold War for the last two. I by no means quite obtained over Cold War's noticeably sluggish hit detection; it'd take round 5-7 frames for point-blank shots to register in my tests. Under equally unscientific testing conditions (me counting frames in replays recorded at 60 fps), MW2's latency is a far less discoverable 2-three frames. It isn't clear to me exactly what number of factors are at play here. It might be that Treyarch's weapons seem slower because they are slower by design, however regardless, Infinity Ward's interpretation is better.  
  
As a counterbalance to Modern Warfare 2's wicked-quick ballistics and time-to-kill, Infinity Ward has pumped the brakes on operators themselves. In terms of movement, this is by far the slowest CoD in recent memory. Established traversal techniques like slide canceling and bunnyhopping, much to the dismay of CoD's loudest fans(opens in new tab), have been deliberately abolished. The minimap, breaking with 15 years of tradition, no longer highlights enemies as red dots whenever a shot is fired. Traditionalists will let you know these tweaks are bad for the series—that they "lower the skill gap" or encourage dishonorable camping—however this paints an incomplete picture.  
  
By gluing our boots more firmly to the ground, Call of Duty has finally created the house to be a more methodical, dare I say tactical, FPS. For the first time in years, it is definitely a better idea to tread lightly, hold angles, and listen for footsteps than full-dash down every straightaway and bunnyhop around corners. And permit me to formally debunk the camping paranoia—sure, sooner or later a man named I_Just-Shot-Ya will set up on top of a building and look by way of a scope for the entirety of your match, but up to now this is no more common than we're already used to. In reality, the arrival of my new favorite throwable, the Drill Cost, makes it simpler than ever(opens in new tab) to dislodge a comfortable camper.  
  
My only gripe is that Modern Warfare 2 doesn't go far enough. The omnipresence of the UAV means that I still spend way too much time glancing at the map for red dots. The specter of sudden destruction by the hands of overpowered stealth bombers, chopper gunners, and miniature tank drones remains constant. I'd Ctrl+A+Delete all killstreaks from the game if it had been as much as me, though I reckon a move that monumental would create an angry mob outside Activision.  
  
The Basilisk, in each measurement and stature, delivers on the promise of hand cannon, and it's cool that I might've told you that had I only heard it fired from half a mile away. We think of Call of Duty as arcadey and unsophisticated, however MW2 disrupts that reputation. Infinity Ward demonstrates its care for fidelity and intricacy. Particular person bullets in Modern Warfare 2 snap downrange and send rippled, gradually-waning shockwaves via the air. It's not just about whether or not or not the guns look cool and make loud sounds (although each apply here)—MW2 cares just as much in regards to the routine actions that get FPSes from A to B. Reload animations bask in tacticool mastery with trendy but environment friendly magazine swaps that'd get the John Wick stamp of approval.  
  
That Basilisk revolver has three totally different reloads relying on what number of rounds are left within the chamber, including a definite animation for reloading two spent casings without changing all six. Sound effects are what tie it all together: In the clip above, I counted eight unique scrapes, clicks, and metallic clangs for just one reload animation. I wonder what number of of these 88 compressed gigabytes on my SSD are raw audio.
