Call Of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 (a.k.a COD6)

Realistic graphics and effects, gorgeous characters and personalities, exciting action and thrill, makes Call Of Duty 6 an extremely enjoyable and excellent game. What else could anyone ask for?

Riot shields

The effects are unbelievable. The sandstorm, the blizzard, the rain. It's as if you're living the game. What the player has to do - riding snowmobiles, driving boats and cars, controlling machine guns, using heartbeat sensors, climbing ice mountains, protecting civilians, using riot shields, going underwater, saving hostages - is just crazily amazing.

I'm so glad Sergeant "Soap" MacTavish returns as Captain MacTavish, but as a non-playable character. I am definitely not disappointed with the way he looks because I never imagined him as anything while controlling him in Call Of Duty 4. I mean, he is a really hot cool captain. Check out his haircut! He's got the half mohawk hairstyle going on, like David Beckham. Imagine the young newbie he was in COD4, having Captain Price and Gaz as his mentors. In COD6, he's the role-model! He can even pick himself up when he falls down, unlike the times when he fell down in COD4. That's how professional he is in COD6. Oh, don't be disappointed, he becomes the played character in the last three missions.

Captain "Soap" MacTavish

And Captain Price? He's like the coolest captain since COD4. He was pretty intimidating in the first game but he's warmed up to Soap a lot in Modern Warfare 2. I totally forgot about him since I paid too much attention to the game. When he appeared, I was so excited, the brother was like . Oops, my bad. He is still the awesome, caring captain with smart words. He's as professional as his Captain MacMillan and Soap is as professional as Captain Price. I love how Soap respects him so much. It's so nice and so good to see them going on missions together again.

I miss Gaz from COD4, but I guess "Ghost" replaces him, since they're both voiced by the same person. Sadly, "Ghost" died along with Gary "Roach" Sanderson (Playable character throughout most of the game, Soap is his superior officer and mentor) after General Shepherd betrayed them. Damn, just as I was beginning to like Roach.

In the eastern coast, the soldiers there aren't that bad too. Sergeant Foley is a really strict guy. Don't blame him, he's the squad leader. There's Corporal Dunn in the squad too. According to someone, he's good-looking. I wonder if it's the stubs on his jaw or his boyish face. I love the happy ending of popping sparks on the roof. It made me happy because it is a happy ending anyway.

Vladimir Makarov

Makarov is the main baddie of the game, but later on, he tells Captain Price the location of General Shepherd, the traitor. But Makarov shot down Joseph Allen, the Ranger (playable character for first few missions). There's no denying he has the bad guy look.

Then, there are witty and sarcastic conversations between the soldiers. I love listening to those. They make me smile and laugh. Told you the game isn't only about shooting people and violence. There are important moral values like teamwork, friendship and taking initiative. That's what I love.

Oh, did I mention how much I love the guns in Modern Warfare 2? The machine guns are awesome! I love the M240 Heartbeat (first mission with Soap)! It's so cool. I can't even remember what the other guns are called. But they're all really nice.

"Cliffhanger"

The last mission was... painful. Soap is badly hurt after the fall and General Shepherd stabs him in the chest. Captain Price comes at the right time, like the typical hero he is, and has a fist fight with Shepherd. God, imagine the pain when Soap tried to pull out the knife from his chest. Yeah, the player has to do it. After (SPOILER!) Shepherd is dead, Captain Price gets up to help the half-conscious Soap. Nikolai (Russian ally from COD4) comes in a helicopter and helps Soap and the limping Captain Price. It ends abruptly.

Modern Warfare 3? Definitely. No story can end like that.

I love the bonus mission. Press the red button on the desk in the museum and you'll get a really nice surprise. Oh, remember to grab a proper gun before doing that or you'll regret it.

I don't think I'll get sick of playing this game. I played it twice on the same day and I still want to play it again! 9.5/10 rating for this game. Highly recommended!

Modern Warfare 3, I'm waiting.

Infinity Ward/Activision games are ingenious and I love them.
