Call of Duty: Modern Warfare2 is out now, but it’s unknown right now whether it will fill the boots left behind byModern Warfare 2019or not. The latter has been hailed by many as one of thebestCall of Dutygamesin recent years, and the reception to its sequel right now seems mixed. It seems pretty clear that the sequel is one of the most beautifulCall of Dutygames to date, while reactions to the campaign appear mostly mixed. But, of course, the milk and bread of anyCoDgame is the multiplayer.
Fans are still diving into it, but many find it lacking.Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2has dealt with a plethora of bugs, including a completely broken ping system that can track certain players for the entire game, some issues with its weapon tuning feature, and an even stranger one that limits all players to the .50 GS Pistol. On top of that,Modern Warfare 2only has 10 multiplayer maps, players cannot check stats, there is no hardcore mode, and Gunsmith is missing several important elements. In short, it should be made clear thatCall of Duty Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer is fun, if somewhat incomplete, and many fans may want to wait for future updates before diving into in full. And those waiting may find something worth playing with The Epic Games Store.
