Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 was released November 9th, the day before veterans day. As an avid "COD 4" user, I was skeptical about the game at first because Call of Duty 4 was one of the greatest games of all time and it would be very hard to top. However, after playing it after I got home from school, I couldn't help but tear from the eyes. It was honestly the most epic and fantastic game I had ever played.
They enable you to choose from tons of new and futuristic guns. There are hundreds of challenges and achievements you can do making the game a challenge. You can't beat the game in a day. It had more than $310 million of sell-through sales in North America and the UK, or about 4.7 million units. And that’s just within the first 24 hours. In comparison, Halo 3’s launch scored $170 million in its first 24 hours back in 2007. (That was just in the U.S., and it was only available for one console.) Grand Theft Auto 4 sold about 6 million copies worldwide in its first week in 2008, with sales topping more than $500 million. Those sales make it the biggest launch of any form of entertainment since the dawn of mankind.
The online and campaign are out of this world, the graphics and the cutting edge tech involved in this game was out of this world. The game utilizes the in-house IW 4.0 game engine, which is claimed to be a generation beyond the capabilities of the engine used in Call of Duty 4.
Aside from new weapons, equipment, and perks that are now able to be upgraded to pro versions , 15 different kill streak rewards can be unlocked and selected by the player. Among these is the ability to receive a supply drop after achieving four kills in a row, order a predator missile strike after five kills, and call in an AC-130 gunship to strike from the sky after 11 kills. Another new feature is the in-game host migration. If a match host leaves the game, the current game no longer ends as a host migration delay allows a new host to be selected and the game to continue on. These are only a few of the many changes and advancements that Modernwarfare 2 has accomplished.
