New Games To Watch For pt. 4 - Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

This is the game on everyone's lips it seems, despite a distant release date of November 10th. The highly anticipated sequel to Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2 will undoubtedly sate the fan's hunger after the poorly received Call Of Duty: World At War. Rumours are rampant, but a few things are known: The game will serve as a kind of sequel directly following on from the events in the first Modern Warfare game, with usual characters such as Sergeant "Soap" MacTavish returning. The game will involve countries such as Afghanistan, Brazil, Khazakstan and Russia, in what looks like more of the same war-torn environments and besieged forts as before, although some of the snow environment play looks particularly interesting, with mountain climbing and snow-mobile action to boot.

From the multiplayer trailer (embedding was disabled on the main reveal trailer unfortunately), the graphics look significantly better than the previous game, undoubtedly boosted by the new IW 4.0 game engine which is a whole generation beyond the first Modern Warfare's engine. It's good to see that the experience point system that was so popular in the first game is retained, with some new features added as well. I didn't even buy or play Call Of Duty: World At War due to the dismal multiplayer reviews, so seeing Infinity Ward reprise Call Of Duty 4's multiplayer action is a big relief. After just a few minutes of game footage scrounged from various sources, I can safely say that Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is going to be epic and is well worth the hype. Enjoy the trailer.
