News & Review of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 - For Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and Nintendo Wii

Learn What New Features Are in the Hottest Game of the Year!

New Features
The Length of the campaign will be comparable to the first CoD4 game about 6-10hour total as stated by Infinity Ward CCO Jason West. This should provide the player plenty of shoot em' up fun!

The Missions in the game will include Russia, a military base in Kazakhstan, a desert area in Afghanistan, and Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.

One of the coolest new features is the ability to dual wield handguns. Just like in Halo 2!

AI Improvements
Infinity Ward has addressed the issue of enemies that continually re-spawn at different points of a level. They demonstrated that the game engine uses a "dynamic AI" that replaced the re-spawn system and allows enemies to act more independently.

These improved AI enemies are designed to actively seek and drive the player forward through a level, and can break away from their set behaviors like following a designated route in order to attack more quickly. Now the player can't depend on an enemy being in the same location because enemies will behave differently each time a level is played.

New Cooperative Mode - "Special Ops!"
There are independent missions similar in design to the "Mile High Club" epilogue mission from the previous release, Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare.

The missions will take place in a many of the locations from the campaign, but are not related to story of the campaign itself.

Special Ops mode can also be played as single player or two player co-op play, and can be played with another player split-screen locally, or online.

Special Ops has cool new levels like a snowmobile race between the two players, one player provides air-support from an AC-130 while the other gamer handles operations on the ground, capturing an enemy compound and searching areas for and eliminating 40 or more enemies at a time.

There are four groups of missions which are Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta and can be played at three difficulty levels, regular, hardened and veteran.
