table border="0" tr td height="340" a name="product_description" iModern Warfare 2/i is a first-person tactical shooter and the sixth entry in the popular iCall of Duty/i series. True to its name and following the lead of its predecessor, iCall of Duty: Modern Warfare/i, it places players in modern combat settings, as opposed to the WWII environments of the earlier iCall of Duty/i games. This modern approach brings with it new weapons, action and options. Coupled with a variety of gameplay modes including single player, multiplayer and the co-op Special Ops Mode, it is destined to be one of the most popular games of 2009 and a worthy addition to the iCall of Duty/i series. style type="text/css" .caption { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; } ul.indent { list-style: inside disc; text-indent: -15px; } table.callout { font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1. 3em; } td.vgoverview { height: 125px; background: #9DC4D8 url(http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/callout-bg.png) repeat-x; border-left: 1px solid #999999; border-right: 1px solid #999999; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; width: 250px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; } /style p/ table align=left width=210 cellpadding=0 tr td div align="center"img alt="'Modern Warfare 2' game logo" title="'Modern Warfare 2' game logo" src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/codmw2.logo.200.jpg" border=0 align=top width="200" height="53"/div /td /tr /table table align=right width=250 cellpadding=10 tr td height="194" valign="top"img alt="Taking fire from behind a riot shield in 'Modern Warfare 2'" title="Taking fire from behind a riot shield in 'Modern Warfare 2'" src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/codmw2.02.sm.jpg" border=0 align=top width="250" height="141"br center span class="caption"Classic tactical FPS action.br/ View larger./span /center /td /tr tr td valign="top"img alt="Leading a squad off a landing strip in 'Modern Warfare 2'" title="Leading a squad off a landing strip in 'Modern Warfare 2'" src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/codmw2.05.sm.jpg" border=0 align=top width="250" height="141"br center span class="caption"Customizable multiplayer perk system.br/ View larger./span /center/td /tr tr td height="204" valign="top"img alt="A battleground in the slums of Rio in 'Modern Warfare 2'" title="A battleground in the slums of Rio in 'Modern Warfare 2'" src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/codmw2.04.sm.jpg" border=0 align=top width="250" height="141"br center span class="caption"Diverse in-game environments.br/ View larger./span /center /td /tr tr td height="204" valign="top"img alt="Soldier looking down a rifle with a scope attachment in 'Modern Warfare 2'" title="Soldier looking down a rifle with a scope attachment in 'Modern Warfare 2'" src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/codmw2.01.sm.jpg" border=0 align=top width="250" height="141"br center span class="caption"New weapons and gadgets.br/ View larger./span /center /td /tr /table bStory/bbr/ The storyline of iModern Warfare 2/i picks up where the events of iCall of Duty 4: Modern Warfare/i left off. The ultranationalist Russian leader Zakhaev has been eliminated, but it seems that his lieutenant, Vladimir Makarov, is an even bigger danger. Having made a successful play for power, Intel indicates that he is extending the reach of his influence well beyond the borders of Mother Russia, causing a stir in the international community and prompting the involvement of Task Force 141. Task Force 141 is an elite multinational unit made up of Navy Seals, Delta Force operatives, British SAS and CIA. In the single player campaign you are Sergeant Gary "Roach" Sanderson, with the hero of iCall of Duty 4/i, "Soap" MacTavish, promoted to Captain, making an appearance as an NPC (non-player character) and your commanding officer. The elimination of Makarov and his underlings at any cost is your number one priority, regardless where the fight occurs. p/ bGameplay/bbr/ The latest release in arguably the most successful tactical first-person shooter franchise of all-time, gameplay in iModern Warfare 2/i follows the same winning and time-tested structure of earlier games in the series. In the single player campaign players are aided by AI squad members as they take on a series of missions aimed at eliminating Ultranationalist forces. Each mission is built around a particular objective, with players utilizing some level of guidance from NPC characters, including "Soap" MacTavish, and aided in navigation by the game's heads up display (HUD). Along the way players will be able to utilize a wide variety of weaponry and and vehicles, as well as be able to customize weapons with gadgets attached to them. p/ Also, just as in previous games in the series, iModern Warfare 2/i is heavily focused on multiplayer gameplay. The different multiplayer modes, available both in local play and online, contain plenty of customization options and revolve around different strategies ranging from the every man for himself action of "Free-for All," the classic team-based fun of "Capture the Flag and the tactical, team-oriented action of "Search and Destroy," just to name a few. Multiplayer modes also feature the "Perk" System that players may be familiar with from earlier in the franchise. Through this system players gain additional abilities, weapons and benefits as they gain experience in combat. This can be done by leveling up, but another important way way is through "kill streaks," the number of enemies eliminated in succession. These are available beginning with three kills and include the ability to call for supply drops, predator missile strikes, helicopter gunships and many more. Players have the ability to customize in advance which perks will be available at each number and can even gauge their progress towards each at the touch of a button. With an eye towards not making the game too hard for new players the game also features help to players experiencing "death streaks," multiple consecutive deaths in multiplayer matches. p/ bSpecial Ops Co-op Mode/bbr/ Along with a single player mode and multiple multiplayer modes, iModern Warfare 2/i also features an unique third main play option, Special Ops Mode. Available both online and in local play, Special Ops Mode is designed to provide a distinct time-based play option, featuring special scenarios not found in other modes in the game and lots of enemies to take on. This mode can be played either alone or with a friend, again either locally or online, with local co-op play including split-screen functionality. p/ bKey Game Features/b ul libChallenging Multiplayer Modes/b – iModern Warfare 2/i will contain a wealth of multiplayer modes including: the every man for himself action of "Free-for All," the classic team-based fun of "Capture the Flag and the tactical, team-oriented action of "Search and Destroy."/li libImproved AI Enemies/b – Improved artificial intelligence now allows enemies to attack from virtually any direction as players respawn into the game adding additional challenges./li libAn All-new iCall of Duty/i Adventure/b - iModern Warfare 2/i features an all new iCall of Duty/i storyline revolving around the continuing struggles against the Russian rebel group the Ultranationalists, who have found a new and more dangerous leader./li libThe 'Special Ops' Optional Co-op Mode/b – "Special Ops" Mode allows two players, either alone or with a friend, to engage in unique mission play and features split-screen functionality./li libDiverse In-game Environments/b - Battlegrounds traversed in the game range from the lonely, snow-clad mountains of Kazakhstan, to dark tunnels in the Afghanistan and the crowded slums of Rio./li libNonstop Action/b - iModern Warfare 2/i contains no cutscenes, so players are always engaged in the action, no matter where they are in the game./li libNew Breach Gameplay Mechanic/b - Players can now blaze their own paths through the game by "Breaching" formerly impregnable obstacles like walls and doors with explosives./li libNew Gadgets, Weapons and Weapons System/b iModern Warfare 2/i contains many new and updated weapons, new weapons attachments, as well as a variant of the multiplayer weapons customization system from iCall of Duty 4/i, now available in the single player campaign./li libNew Perks and Increased Customization/b - Multiplayer modes feature new perks for leveling up, and for killstreaks and deathstreaks.
