Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (PC)

As one of the most critically acclaimed shooters of all time, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a prime example of a tough act to follow. Yet, amidst a raging storm of anticipation and expectation, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has done it. The new...

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Review: Perfect Score - this PS3, Xbox 360, and PC Game Being Bad Is As Likely As The Evil Guys Winning

WW3 has been declared in CoD MW3, so Matt Swider and Alex Roth review the game to help you determine if you should join the fight or stay neutral.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is going to sell millions of copies within its first week, maybe surpassing Black Ops' $650 million first five-day haul. That was never a question; the game was guaranteed to be a sales success as soon as its was...

Modern Warfare 2

Stupid monikers aside though, what can you expect from what's easily the year's most anticipated orgy of destruction? Well, plot-wise, it's the usual gung-ho pastiche of blokey DVD collections, a Tom Clancy novel and some ever-so-slightly-dubious...

Modern Warfare 2 PC Review

Infinity Ward has a seemingly impossible task in front of them. When Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare hit, it quickly became a huge success. It was a best-selling game and rivaled the likes of Halo 3 in online multiplayer. When its sequel was...

Excellent Plot, Great shooting mechanics, stellar graphics, SpecOps and Multiplayer must plays; great moments that are really driven home with the musical scores

Weak story telling

The story of Modern Warfare 2 is even better that its predecessor. Taking place five years after the events of Call of Duty 4, the Ultranationalists have taken over Russia led by one of Imran Zakhaev's former lieutenants: Vladimir Makarov. As he...

Modern Warfare 2

Does the PC version stand up to the mighty consoles without dedicated servers?

Three excellent game modes ; Messes with FPS conventions to great effect ; Literally years of entertainment guaranteed

No dedicated servers ; Your team can be frustatingly stupid ; No 'look round a corner' move

Having been parachuted into the middle of a warzone in the badlands of Afghanistan, an airstrike has just levelled part of the suburb meters in front of our position. It was close. So close it almost killed our team. As we progress through the deserted...

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - PC review at Thunderbolt Games

There is a certain sick irony to playing Call of Duty on PC these days. The series got its start on the platform years ago, and was something of a killer app for PC gamers. Sure, there were the console editions: the PS2 and Xbox got their Finest Hours,...

For the first time, PC is not the superior Call of Duty platform.

Modern Warfare 2 (PC) Review

We take a look at the PC build of the latest Call of Duty game to see how Infinity Ward has handled the final product, given the drastic changes in the online environment.

IW.Net delivers an easy experience for new gamers, but for older gamers it feels drastically different to the small social circles they once knew and contributed to. While the ability to create a private room exists, it doesn't solve the current issues...

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Then again, Infinity Ward isn't your average developer. Their Call of Duty games never disappoint and yet they keep offering more than familiar FPS gameplay. It's hard to believe. Call of Duty is still one of Activision's most prominent video game...

Incredible atmosphere, breathtaking scenes of destruction and non-stop action are enjoyable as always, good AI, cool soundtrack, great voice acting, immersive as always

Some of the classic CoD-style action is getting old, they would've done a lot better if they focused more on stealth-based missions, no dedicated server support and no custom content
