It was released on November 10, 2009 for PS3 ^[first] , Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows and Nintendo DS. In one day he sold 8.5 million copies with a revenue of 810 million dollars. However, this figure holds only the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada. ^[2] The sequel, entitled Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 , was released on November 8, 2011.

A version of the alternative game called has come out Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized Developed for the Nintendo DS platform and published by Activision on 10 November 2009.

On March 31, 2020 it was released exclusively on PS4 and subsequently on April 30 of the same year for Xbox One and PC, the remastered version of the game called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered , containing a graphic, technical and sound renewal of the limited game, however, only to the single-player campaign alone.

Five years have passed since the events of the first Modern Warfare , and the events begin on August 10, 2016. Despite the death of Zakhaev and Al-ASAD the Russian civil war and the one in the Middle East have not ended; Indeed, the Russian ultranationalists took power, Zakhaev was elected “hero of the new Russia”, the Russian loyalists constituted a government in exile and the Middle Eastern insurgents are gaining land in Afghanistan. To stop the new military leader of the ultra -anniversary, Vladimir Makarov, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada have created a department of special forces in charge of eliminating the new opponent commander and weakening the enemy armed forces: it is Task Force 141.

After passing the training and freed from the enemy insurgents, a small town in Afghanistan (saving an ally department which fell into an ambush), the chosen soldier Joseph Allen is transferred from the 1st battalion of the 75th CIA ranger regiment. General Shepherd (commander of the Task Force 141) provides him with a new identity to allow him to infiltrate Makarov’s ultra -annualists; To earn the trust of the enemy, Allen, aka Alexei Borodin, is forced to participate in a terrorist attack on Moscow airport, massacring civilians, police and FSB forces, with hundreds of victims. Before the escape, however, Makarov, aware of Allen’s true identity, shoots him killing him and leaving the corpse on the ground. The Russian police will identify him and the fault of the attack will thus fall on the same CIA, triggering the anger of the entire Russia.

Meanwhile, in the mountains of the Tien Shan in Kazakhstan, near the Russian border, the Sergeant Gary “Roach” Sanderson and Captain John “Soap” MacTAvish, belonging to the Task Force 141, infiltrate a Russian base to recover, on the order of Shepherd, the ACS module of an American satellite shot down. The two succeed in their goal but, discovered by the enemies, are obliged to operate the charges of C4 connected to the supply cables, thus making all the vehicles and planes of the base jump into the air and then flee by a snowmobile with a daring pursuit.

Despite the action of the men of the Task Force 141, the Russians manage to copy the files contained in the satellite module and, taking advantage of their codes, invade the United States in response to Moscow terrorist attack, starting a probable third world war. The Russian VDV units in the northeastern Virginia find the US Rangers on their way, including Sergeant Foley, Corporal Dunn and the simple soldier Ramirez, committed to stopping their invasion and evacuating the rest of the civilians in different districts.

After the invasion, the Task Force 141 is engaged in a race against time to capture Makarov and end the conflict. Soap, Roach, Ghost and their men cross the favelas of Rio de Janeiro to capture and interrogate a well -known weapon trafficker named Alejandro Rojas, supplier of Makarov who financed the attack on the Zakhaev airport. In the clashes, dozens of Brazilian militiamen and some soldiers of Task Force 141 will die, including an unnamed American driver and Meat and Royce, two Canadian soldiers. From the information obtained now they know that Makarov is looking for a man, the “prisoner 627”, kept locked up in a gulag on the Russian coast of the Pacific Ocean. To open the road, the Task Force 141 abandon a oil station that the Russians use as a missile base, eliminating the enemy anti -aircraft stations and saving used hostages as human shields. The assault on the Gulag begins and in the basement the team finds the prisoner, which soap recognizes to be Captain Price, believed to have been dead for 3 years, when he was presumably killed during the Kingfish operation (a preventive attempt to kill Makarov two years after death of Zakhaev), as it remained behind to cover the extraction; Immediately after the discovery, the team is forced to escape from the Gulag who is collapsing due to the naval bombings. Meanwhile, the war in the US continues: Russian forces have managed to advance to Washington D.C. And Foley’s team, together with the latest forces left in the capital, must try to slow down the enemy advance to allow to evacuate the remaining civilians; However, Americans are about to be overwhelmed.

In the meantime, arrived with the rest of the Task Force 141 at a base of submarines in Russia, Price has an idea on how to overturn the fate of the war in the USA (disobeying Shepherd, which instead believes priority to eliminate Makarov). Puckled in the submarine, launches a nuclear missile on Washington which, exploding in space, generates an electromagnetic impulse that disables all electronic equipment in the north-east of the United States, neutralizing the Russian aviation and armored vehicles and thus favoring the American counterattack, also If the International Space Station is destroyed by the immense explosion. At this point, the US can fight on par against the Russians and, after sheltering from the “rain of helicopters”, they regain the White House and prevent the carpet bombing of the capital. The battle ends with the Rangers who observe Washington in flames e They swear to themselves that one day it will be Moscow to have the same end in response to the invasion by the Russians.

Now Task Force 141 is divided into two groups to sift the last two possible hiding places on Earth for Makarov. In the Caucaso mountains, on the border between Georgia and Russia, a team led by Roach and Ghost manages to copy the real data of the ACS module from its computer (the files already in their hands had proved false). The two manage to escape and reach the extraction point in a clearing where Shepherd’s helicopter awaits them, but suddenly the general, as soon as the data are delivered, shoots first in Roach, already injured, and then a Ghost, then burning the bodies.

Shepherd is therefore the real enemy: she made Allen’s identity was discovered by Makarov, that the Russians managed to copy the ACS module and that the war burst to take power in the USA and go through a national hero. The general, who had a generous financing from the American government, hires a small mercenary army, the Shadow Company, to eliminate both Makarov and what remains of the Task Force 141.

Soap and Price, in charge of controlling Makarov’s other hiding place in Afghanistan, fall into an ambush from the forces of Shepherd, also committed to eliminating the ultra -annationalist troops on the spot. The two manage to save themselves by fleeing the Nikolai plane (one of the Australian comrades, Rook, is killed instead). By understanding that you have a common enemy in the American general, Makarov decides to collaborate with Price, informing him that the Shepherd base is the “Hotel Bravo site”, in Afghanistan, knowing that only he and soap can be able to eliminate him.

The two former sas, considered now dangerous international fugitives, introduce themselves to the Shepherd base trying to get it and kill him, but he explodes the base, sacrificing many men in the vain attempt to kill the two. Price and Soap then continue the pursuit with a rubber dinghy and manage to break down the helicopter with which the general tries to escape. Soap, separated by Price, wounded and armed only with a knife, tries to get Shepherd out, but he has the best first throwing him against a car and then seriously injuring him putting a dagger in his chest. While he is about to give him the blow of Grazia Shepherd reveals that he has been the commander of the American forces engaged against Al-ASAD, in the previous episode, affected by the nuclear explosion. The disinterest of public opinion towards the disaster pushed the general to conceive the entire plan, with the intention of pushing people to venerate the army as the only force capable of protecting them. In that instant Price intervenes by hiring a body to hand with the enemy and in the meantime Soap manages to extract the dagger from his chest and then throw it into the general eye of the general, killing him instantly. Finally, British Price and soap head towards the Nikolai helicopter who came to recover them and flee to a refuge in an unspecified place.

At the end of the campaign you can access a museum in which all the scenarios of the countryside will be exhibited and a minisarcian will be available that will see the player fight against some of the figures exhibited.

Special operations [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ]

In Modern Warfare 2 There is a cooperative campaign called “special operations”, where there are missions unrelated to the main context, although they are set in the same locations ^[3] . The missions can be played by a single player or by two players in shared screen or via online connection (some expressly require two players). The objectives of the missions are different, from the simple to achieve a certain point of the map to killing the greatest number of enemies within a time limit, from a time run on the snowmobile to the defense of bombs, all under constant enemy fire. In total there are 23 missions, each of which with three stars to be conquered, corresponding to three levels of growing difficulty. By completing the missions to the highest difficulty, the best time obtained by the players of Infinity Ward is also shown on the “card”, in order to be compared with that of the player.

Multiplayer and downloadable content [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ]

The online game includes different game modalities that vary from the classics “All against all” and “team deathmatch” up to “search and destroy”, “dominion”, “demolition” and others.
