Another year, another “Call of Duty.” But we’re not headed to World War 2 again… or back to the modern day. Instead, Activision is taking us to unexplored middle ground: semi-modern, semi historical vistas of the Cold War and Vietnam – but with a completely spin fictional.

Modern Warfare 2 is already selling out, and selling a lot. This review is almost a moot point for those familiar with either the Call of Duty franchise or the previous Modern Warfare game: you probably already own Modern Warfare 2 if you are either of those two things.
