Infinity Ward, developer of the original Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, returns with this year’s Modern Warfare 2, after last year’s Call of Duty game came from the series’ other developer, Treyarch. Activision has confidently stated that it expects Modern Warfare to be the biggest games launch ever seen.
That’s a bold assertion, because for a start the original Modern Warfare sold an incredible 12 million copies, and for another thing, Activision has raised the price for Modern Warfare 2 to a premium. Which means that Modern Warfare 2 is expected to shift more units with a higher price tag.
Gamers shouldn’t consider this bad news necessarily though, because it shows that Activision thinks that Modern Warfare 2 is good enough to warrant it. In terms of what’s on offer to gamers, it’s the usual combination of single player and multiplayer, with the latter being often cited as the reason behind the original’s success.
There has been multiplayer video footage shown off by Infinity Ward – demoing the new chain bonus, and the truth is that it does look great. All the graphics have been improved and polished since Modern Warfare, although there are still some concerns voiced on the internet forums about details on some of the snow levels.
While it’s known that Modern Warfare 2 will only run at 1024×600 (not HD) as the original did, it’s also possible to say that Infinity Ward has done a lot of work on improving the graphics. Animations are noticeably smoother, environments are more open to destruction and there are more details on show everywhere.
Little is still known about the Single Player in Modern Warfare 2, although it has been confirmed that missions will take gamers from the deserts of Afghanistan to the snow mountains of Russia and that there will be an extended variety of gameplay in the missions.
As with the rest of Modern Warfare 2, Infinity Ward looks to have taken the successful elements from its predecessor and then looked to improve on them. It’s more of the same, for sure, but better, and that’s likely to be a big draw for gamers.
Out 10th November 2009, Modern Warfare 2 is to be released on PlayStation 3, PC and Xbox 360.
