MODERATORS
isn't this like modern warfare 7 or something? I don't know I haven't played the series but like it seems liek it?
Yeah, it's really fucking stupid. There's the original modern warfare (which I actually kinda liked), and its two dogshit sequels.
Then, over a decade later, decided to make new modern warfare games, but with Roman numerals this time.
So now there's Modern Warfare 2, and Modern Warfare II
IDK, Modern Warfare 2 had its merits, even if the multiplayer balance made me want to pull my hair out. I like how it concluded with the greater scope threat being a conspiracy by jingoistic hardliners within the USAF.
MW2 has really tight gameplay, it just feels really good to shoot at guys. I never playee MW2 multiplayer, so I can't speak to that, but the campaign was pretty trash compared to the first one.
The first MW campaign was pretty grounded, sparing on set pieces, and at least... Skeptical, in a very lib sort of way, of US foreign policy. The Yanks get themselves blown up because they Jump into things recklessly. Trying to be the hero and saving the downed helicopter pilot dooms you all. Meanwhile, the Brit portion of the campaign is all about refined professionals, one of whom is literally named Soap, having to come in and clean up the American's mess.
MW2 campaign is just... About an evil general who's evil and also we retconned a bunch of stuff, and the Russian's are invading the east coast of the US. It just has zero restraint or tact. The level where you have to fight in car-centric suburbia, between fast food restaurants, is absolutely hellish. It's just not as fun. MW3 is even worse in this regard. Even more retconning, and less restraint. Obnoxious set pieces everywhere.
The latter MW games have really fun arcade mode called "spec ops" with self-contained missions, and a survival mode. When I go back to those games, I go back to that mode more than anything else
