This was the game that popularised the no scope and the Rust 1v1. It nurtured thousands of overproduced dubstep-laden YouTube montages, and by proxy, gave rise to the post-modern twist of montage parodies. Its lobbies were legendarily toxic, providing cacophony after cacophony of pre-pubescent gurgling and malicious jokes.
Apocalyptic anger and ear-piercing static would fly out of budget microphones in the intermissions between matches.

The most-anticipated game of the year and the sequel to the best-selling first-person action game of all time, Modern Warfare 2 continues the gripping and heart-racing action as players face off against a new threat dedicated to bringing the world to the brink of collapse.

At least usually. Things are little bit different with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered , which, as the name implies, is a single-player only release. Activision explained its reasoning in a blog post:. With cross-play, releasing new post-launch maps, modes, weapons and more content drops for free, and launching Warzone, the Free-to-Play, Free-for-Everyone new Call of Duty experience, the Modern Warfare universe will expand, bringing new experiences to players.
It's an eminently competent, well-done remaster that makes the game feel like a contemporary release. Which showcases how strange a relic of its era Modern Warfare 2 truly is. As mired in American military adoration as it is, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a game deserving of at least a little praise. It manages to build authentic dread and disempowerment into what could have been straightforward jingoism, and in the process creates a game that reads as a satire of the early War on Terror, with the heroic frenzy of the game's early segments quickly devolving into confusion and disaster.
Modern Warfare 2 had the unenviable job of crafting a sequel directly out of that narrative, and, possibly as a result of that choice, it fails to cohere as any sort of narrative. It's a messy, ugly little game, as mesmerizing as it is infuriating. Its failure is felt most keenly in the part of the game that quickly became the most controversial: "No Russian," a short level in the first third of the game. The premise is belabored, narratively speaking, but uncomfortably simple in gameplay.
You're an undercover American operative, embedded deep with a group of Russian terrorists these games, for some reason, are not big fans of Russia. They engage in a horrific terrorist attack: a mass shooting at an airport. In order to maintain your cover, you're forced to go along with it.
The game asks you to engage in the mass shooting though it doesn't punish you if you don't—it's perfectly viable to play the entire level without shooting anyone not shooting at you, which seems unintentional.
It's meant to be horrific and shocking, an escalation of the disempowering sequence where a nuclear bomb detonated in the first game—a showcase of the idiocy and violence of bad foreign policy and human cruelty in general.
