About This Game

Modern Warfare 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the best-selling first-person shooter of all time, continuing the intense action as players battle a new threat aiming to push the world to the edge of collapse. The game features a soundtrack by legendary composer Hans Zimmer. Following the historic events of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, this title builds on a legacy that includes the 2009 Guinness World Record for "Most Played Online Video Game" and over 50 Game of the Year awards in 2007. A new Special Ops co-op mode allows for two-player online play separate from the campaign, featuring time-trial and objective-based missions where players rank up to unlock harder challenges. These missions include campaign highlights, fan favorites from the previous game, and exclusive content. The multiplayer experience is reinvented with Create-a-Class Evolved, offering secondary weapons, riot shields, equipment, perk upgrades, and bling. Customizable killstreaks like the AC130, Sentry Gun, and Predator Missile are included, alongside post-match accolades.
