Reason for popularity
Renewal
The reason that the first Modern Warfare immediately so excelled in sales shortly after its release is probably because, unlike his predecessors, took place in the future. The player was almost assured that in Call of Duty 1-3 D-Day would have to come. The fourth section hit a different course and the great success now appears a sequel.

Modes and engine
But not only the 'future oorlogsvoering' factor was the reason that the first part and probably the second best part was / is doing. The second part uses the same, but improved engine as MW. This is all with a frame rate (speed of the game) and is 60/fps of the level of detail and graphics (image quality of the game) is very high. A framerate of 60/fps means that the game runs very smoothly and so realistic. Another reason for the hype, the competitive and cooperative modes that you and / or against anyone who play (on the same console) has to play. This is a part of new development over the first part. MW already contained an online mode where you fought against other players and so rank rose as you got more experience. If you received a rank rose you new weapons and 'perks', skills that could enable you to drive your own strategy to form successful fight your way to victory.

Special operations
For those who always wanted an Xbox360, there is the possibility of ordering the Xbox360 version of MW2. This version has 250 GB hard disk memory. Also there for any console the 'Hardened Edition "as a steel book version with some extras. But the version that everyone is talking about is the 'Prestige Edition'. In this version you get there working night vision viewers, for a total of probably 150.

New elements
In addition to the MW2 you said online mode also another type of game playing experience that you should expand, "Special Operations" including "Breach and Clear '. Special Operations (Spec Ops) can be played alone, in pairs or in split screen with someone over the Internet. Split screen is a friend beside you on the couch and playing along as if you can do over the internet as well an unknown player.

Spec Ops
Spec Ops If you choose, you are dropped in an area with a large number of computer-controlled enemies. The amount of enemies depends on the difficulty to the player. Here it is intended that the player sweeps the area clean of enemy units. But beware: If even one soldier was felled your game on and you will have to start the mission again. Also special about this mode is that Infinity Ward has created a unit type, especially for Spec Ops. He called the Juggernaut is a dangerous enemy. With his bomb-and bullet-proof suit therefore he will try to storm and you close with seven bullets. Caution! The only thing that can kill him is a heavy sniper rifle, also known as a 50.cal, or close a knife between his heavy armor pry. The second option is not recommended, because you must come very close and you therefore in a much bigger danger zone.

Breach and Clear
"Breach and Clear 'is an element of Spec Ops and can in the same ways with the same number of players played. "Breach and Clear" begins with the player (s) in a position where the arms are around. The aim is a wall in that area to break with the help of an explosive. If the wall will explode / will the player / players will automatically move to within one seconds or two of slow-motion, which you so directly in the action and jump your way to the end of the level when you must fight on all sides injures by various enemies.

Also interesting are the new enemy unit types. So far, three spotted. An enemy sniper, (total dressed in a Ghillie suit (a suit with camouflage leaves over it), a juggernaut (those mentioned above) and an enemy with a bulletproof shield.

Storyline
* Warning: Spoilers * This paragraph contains information about MW MW2 and you may not want to know.

In MW was the ultimate goal Imran Zakhaev to explain or capture him. Imran Zakhaev is an ultra-nationalist who was planning Russia to change so the weather was like during the Soviet Union. At the end of the game, where you 'Soap' Mactavish of the SAS plays, you are planning to bombard America with two atomic bombs, to stop. After a wild chase becomes a large part of your team hurt, including Cpt. Price, the leader of your SAS unit. If Zakheav the wounded one by one starts to make moves the wounded Cpt. Price a gun to you. You take the shot and shoot Imran Zakhaev and two of his bodyguards down, then Kamarov (a Russian friend from the beginning of the game) and his men appear and you start to care. Also Cpt. Price is given CPR, but he lives now? There is a lot of fans expect an answer to this question in Modern Warfare 2. Infinity Ward has released that the story of MW connected to that in MW2. They also said that "Soap" Mactavish, the soldier you play in the first part, has become the leader of an SAS unit where the player, Roach called for a part of the game will be. I say partly, because if MW2 MW seems to be the player not only as Roach fight, but also from other eyes your way through the game.

Rightly so popular?
Due to the fact that you have future weapons, new elements such as Spec Ops and the high frame rate and the (improved) CoD4 engine is this game the most anticipated game of 2009.

I recommend this game for any fan of shooters. If this game really an improvement over the previous section, it is his number one on the list of hyped games worth.
