Those who tend to play a lot of Modern Warfare 2 have undoubtedly come across someone using the infuriating care package glitch… at least if you’re on the 360 where the problem has still not been corrected despite PC and PS3 users already having non-cheating fun. Thankfully, the patch is not too far away, as confirmed [...]

Maybe that headline is not completely appropriate. In prior Call of Duty titles, including the original Modern Warfare and World at War specifically, I was a decent player. My kill-to-death ratio was around 1.25, certainly not great, but tolerable for my own run-and-gun style of play. Modern Warfare 2 however, is different. Currently, with three days [...]

For a new player, jumping into a Call of Duty match can always be a struggle. Many of the factions wear similar looking gear and suits, making it difficult to tell teams apart. The only savior is knowing the enemy shows up as red above their avatar and teammates green. What you likely haven’t thought of [...]

Japanese gamers looking to enlist in the latest crusade of Soap and Ghost in Activision’s Modern Warfare 2 are slightly miffed at publisher Square/Enix. In particular, the No Russian mission, the controversial level which has the player shooting civilians at an airport, cannot be skipped. Not only that, the player cannot fire a shot, as [...]

Another solitary week for the Arcade, this time a flashback to only a generation ago. Call of Duty Classic At launch, Xbox 360 owners were given Call of Duty 2, and were likely wondering what happened to the original. That game stayed on the PC, and up until today, never saw the light of day on consoles. Given [...]

Over on Amazon, potential Game of the Year candidate Modern Warfare 2 holds a whopping 1.5 rating from the user reviews. Why? The games lack of dedicated servers, which many felt defeats the openess of PC gaming. We won’t argue with that, as it is a valid point. However, despite throes of people crying foul and [...]

Activision/Infinity Ward’s latest entry into the Call of Duty series pushed an incredible 4.7 million copies according to Activision on its first day of sales, US and UK sales included.

Fight Against Grenade Spam. Yes, it’s an acronym, one thought up by Infinity Ward to address the cheapness of grenade spam in their Call of Duty titles, did not go over with the community. The PSA was delivered by Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels, and was pulled soon after release on YouTube. Being YouTube, the ad [...]

Since its inception, with multiple developers, different wars, and different locations, one thing has remained consistent with Call of Duty: It was a first-person shooter. A separate player match playlist inside Modern Warfare 2 is going to switch things up however. The unspecified private (that’s important) multiplayer mode will take place in a third-person view. You [...]

Let this stand as one of the few cases where a developer eliminating cooperative play from a game can be seen as a positive. Infinity Ward’s Rob Bowling stated that adding co-op play to Modern Warfare 2 would cause problems within the story. Adding co-op led to this: “But it really broke the cinematic experience, took [...]

Are you worried that Modern Warfare 2 is going to bomb? Worried that Infinity Ward would be stupid enough to make it not play like every Call of Duty before it? Well then you’ll just have to take it on good faith that both of those questions are answered on the positive side of things, [...]
