Once you learn to play how the game wants, Modern Warfare 2 is more fun. It’s not uncommon to wander aimlessly, and much more cautiously, since you’re often unaware of your opponents’ locations. This makes it harder to locate enemies and undermines suppressors in general. The minimap also punishes players for moving around, and no longer reveals anyone using an unsuppressed weapon (unless you have a UAV in the air). You can try to run and gun if you really want to - but you’re not going to win in most cases. The inability to cancel out of a reload animation is also infuriating, and means reloading will lead to your demise many times over if you’re an aggressive player. By the time you’ve stopped running and aimed at your opponent, they will already have taken shots at you. So if you run into an enemy who is already aiming down sights in your direction, you’ve already lost that gunfight. Animations for reloading, aiming down sights, mantling, killstreak activation, and sprint-to-fire take far too long. The game’s sluggishness when compared to its fast time-to-kill (TTK) is a major cause of the pacing issues.
While this is ideal for those who like to hold down one position, anyone wanting to play more aggressively is penalized for doing so.
Instead, the game incentivizes a more deliberate, methodical play style. It features a more bombastic, memorable campaign, a larger selection of weapons in the multiplayer mode, and incredible visuals, while also laying the groundwork for the upcoming Warzone 2.0 and DMZ (which stands for demilitarized zone, and is CoD’s new Escape from Tarkov-style mode).Ĭlunky new mechanics make multiplayer a slog, and players are penalized for using a fast-paced, run-and-gun approach. ActivisionĪs its name suggests, Modern Warfare 2 serves as a sequel to 2019’s hit Modern Warfare, aiming to up the ante in nearly every way. Due to slow sprint-to-fire speeds, you’re better off camping in Modern Warfare 2.
