Is it any good, though?
But I don’t think it’s brilliant.
Take for example the car chase level.
God, that went on for a while.
(God, Clean House is so good!)
This campaign has good bits, for sure, but none of it isverygood, I think.
Maybe I expect too much!
This is Call of Duty after all.
More of that off-the-beaten track stuff, just!
It didn’t seem to happen all that often.
Gosh, I’ve gone on!
I have thoughts about Modern Warfare 2.
What do you think of it?
Martin:Well, I’ve got to agree that the guns do feel good.
It’s pretty good, too!
Which isn’t so much fun.
Then a bigger gun.
Then some mods for your bigger gun.
It’s almost as mind-blowing as the tanker section was inMetal Gear Solid 2all those years ago.
So yes there are some great bits.
But then there are other bits, too… Wes:You mentioned how good Dark Water is and looks - Modern Warfare 2 looks fantastic.
We’ve probably all seenthat viral clip of Tradecraft, the mission set in Amsterdam.
It’s almost a mini-walking sim.
Can we talk about the faces?
Holy shit the faces in this game look amazing.
Infinity Ward has taken video game faces to another level, I think.
The voice acting is superb, too.
Yes Martin, we need to talk about Valeria.
The voice acting is grand, but the lines they’re delivering?
Wes:Yeah, that whole level on the border with Mexico seems misjudged.
Was it trying to make a point about something?
I’m not sure.
To be clear, I’m not disgusted, just uncomfortable.
I don’t think the game needed that bit.
It would have been fine without.
Multiplayer is like paintball to me.
But the campaign for 2019 Modern Warfare and this sequel trade on their grounding in military realism.
It’s why levels like Clean House work so well.
Thus, when set pieces feel too close to home, they hit harder.
Martin, what do you think of Valeria?
Martin:I hate to disappoint you but I don’t think she really registered for me.
None of the characters really did as they’re all a bit one-dimensional.
Wes:I did!SPOILER ALERT READERS!
They’re going to make us hijack that plane in No Russian 2.0, aren’t they?
Hear all about it!
Hold the front page etc!
I won’t kill any civilians, Martin.
I just won’t do it.
It’s a bit Game of Thrones, isn’t it?
At what point will the soft reboot games catch up with the end of the original trilogy?
What does Infinity Ward do then?
Soft reboot ofCall of Duty: Ghosts.
Call the dog Colin this time, you cowards.
Martin:It’s a bit weird.
I’m up for them having another crack at Colin though.
Or Modern Warfare 3, even.
Just make it a bit shorter and punchier next time round, kindly.
