How will I stand in Modern Warfare 2? Probably the same: of the three Modern Warfare games, I always felt that Modern Warfare 2 was the tougher game with the higher skill ceiling, given the perfect balancing act it managed between class structure and killstreak management.
#MODERN WARFARE 2 ON XBOX ONE CRACKED#
I experienced the same sort of pain upon returning to Modern Warfare 3, a game in which I cracked the top 1,000 Domination players in the world yet could barely get out of spawn upon returning to the game only a few months ago. I went through some strange growing pains returning to that game, seeing my Kill-Death ration plummet from close to 2.0 as it was when I stopped playing in late 2009, to below 1.9.
#MODERN WARFARE 2 ON XBOX ONE SERIES#
Returning to Call of Duty 4(the original, not the remastered version) made me truly realise has far the series has evolved, despite constant criticisms of the franchise’s inability (or unwillingness) to change.
It started with Black Ops, moving through that series and adding Treyarch classics to the line, before shifting attention back to the sub-series that arguably defined the Call of Duty franchise, and set it up to be the juggernaut it is (or at least was at its peak). However, Activision has - for once - done right by its older Call of Duty diehards like myself, slowly but surely releasing classic Call of Duty games onto the Xbox One’s fantastic backwards compatibility program. Rumours of the award-winning trilogy’s return have been swirling for a while, and after the moderate commercial success of Modern Warfare Remastered, one would be excused for initially thinking that the entire series’ availability on the current generation of console’s was unlikely, especially without some sort of modern-day improvements. It took a long while and hope seemed lost with murmurs of a Modern Warfare 2 Remastered that would, strangely, not include the original’s multiplayer component. One of the best online shooters of the past decade has joined its predecessor in 2007’s trailblazing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and its successor in 2011’s Modern Warfare 3 on the growing list of backwards compatible Xbox 360 games playable on Xbox One. Finally, after many, many months of campaigning and voting, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is playable on Xbox One.
