I loved the first one so I got this one to play and was very happy with it. I really enjoy all the call of duty games.

A good COD, but a disappointing sequel to COD4

Modern Warfare 2 was the first COD game for many of my friends. Not for me. It's lasting appeal on me isn't that great and the stories a little bit muddled. Certain scenes in the campaign will also cause controversy to new players. It's still recommended to COD fans. Worth buying new. I regret buying a pre-owned copy because it's annoying not having cover art. The PS3 version is in better condition when you order it online and than if you bought the 360 version (less likely to have scratches on the disc due to blu-ray)

Can confirm
MW2 is a Call of Duty game before Call of Duty games were popularized. The campaign is still better than most modern Call of Duty games, and that is surprising because MW2 came out in 2009. MW2 also has Special Ops missions that are actually fun, yet they're also challenging (Trust me, I beat all of them on veteran!). I'm not really going to talk about multiplayer because you already know what it's like, but I will say that explosives deal more damage than any other Call of Duty. Seriously, a semtex seems to have the same effect as a frag grenade from Black Ops.
Just like its most recent predecessors, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: World at War, the campaign portion of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is a really fun game with extremely intense battle sequences. The downfall is that it's very very short. So let me start by saying that if you're not set up to, or you just don't intend to, play the online co-op or multiplayer modes, you really want to think twice before paying full price for this game. Single players either need to rent this or wait for an inexpensive used copy to go on sale. What makes MW2 Multiplayer more than just a new map pack for CoD4 is that the Multiplayer weapons and perk system are vastly improved. And so is connectivity (so it seems in the initial week of play after a few day one and two glitches). You get 10 times the amount of points for the kills and captures that you're used to getting only 5 or 10 points for in CoD4 and WaW. You also now get points for not just killing and capturing, but for taking out enemy air support, coming back from deathstreaks, killing your nemesis, breaking an enemy's streak and other stuff. Yeah, Multiplayer is good fun, habitual and bad for a marriage. So all in all Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is major fun. The only drawbacks to this awesome game are that the campaign is really short and the multiplayer action is a bit familiar. But the MW2 Multiplayer improvements over its predecessors far out weigh the familiarity.
