Call of Duty Modern Warfare II is the sequel to the COD: MW reboot released in 2019.
This new opus takes up the gameplay mechanics of its predecessor,
namely great shootouts and ever crazier Hollywood staging.
But appearances can be deceptive,
and Modern Warfare II is not at all what we expect from a Call of Duty.

Let's start with the few good things.

The first thing you notice is the graphics.
MWII is magnificent, the maps are large and teeming with details.

The gunfights are enjoyable, the weapons offer good sensations and the kills are satisfying.
You often have to shoot from behind cover in order to expose yourself as little as possible and to have the advantage over the enemy.

The AI ​​is great, the enemies are clever, powerful, and sometimes armored.
They shoot from cover, spam grenades and have a very short reaction time.
Expect a slow and painful progression, be patient.
The game is really hard in veteran difficulty, which is a change from older games,
We are only 1.1% of players who have completed it on this difficulty on Steam as I write these lines.

Alas, good things must come to an end.

The scenario is appallingly absurd.
It is true that it is above all a vague context for going to destroy enemies,
no effort was made to bring any semblance of credibility to the game.

The campaign continues the adventure of Task Force 141, this time helped by the Mexican special forces unit Los Vaqueros.
Their mission is to track down and neutralize the terrorist leader Hassan, an ally of Al-Qatala, who is in possession of American missiles...
One of the missiles is in the hands of the Las Almas Cartel leader,
the dreaded El Sin Nombre...
Price, Soap, Gaz, Alejandro and their allies will travel through Mexico, Spain, the USA,
as well as in fictional countries like Urzikstan and the United Republic of Adal in order to eliminate Hassan and find the missiles.

Spoiler alert. A lot of grotesque and lame situations plague the game.
Shadow Company is an elite unit under Shepherd's command.
First of all, they are valuable allies, who suddenly betray Task Force 141 in order to hide American involvement in the delivery of the missiles.
Shepherd has had a complete makeover, and has also gone bald.
The main antagonist of the game, Hassan, is captured by Task Force 141 but must be released for lack of evidence!
"Modern" times oblige, woke has infiltrated Call of Duty.
Already, since 2019's Modern Warfare, most of the leaders are women:
Laswell for Task Force 141 and Farah for the Urzikstan Liberation Forces.
So why also tell us that Laswell is a lesbian?
Why also add a stereotype of a strong woman,
in this case Valeria, "El Sin Nombre" who inspires terror in the eyes of men?
Also, why has Gaz's character gone black since MW19?

But the worst part of all this is that Modern Warfare II lives up to its name very badly.
Are you expecting an awesome and impactful game like the one from 2009?
Well, brace yourselves.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare II is an action-stealth game,
or even worse, a survival game.
Yes, really. I'm serious. For real.
Forget the thunderous assault on the White House,
the airport terror attack or the Honey Badger escort mission.
The game mainly consists of stealth missions,
such as tracking down a sicario in a luxurious mansion,
or crossing a town, alone, injured, without any weapon or equipment...
You will have to make them yourself.

The weapon and explosives crafting system is ridiculous.
It is possible to build some equipments using items found in the field, including:
- A pry tool, with a rope and a fan blade
- A smoke bomb, using adhesive tape, wax, and chemicals
- A mine, using a mouse trap, wire and explosives
- And a molotov cocktail, using a bottle, gasoline and a rag, that at least is understandable.

Weapons have lost their official name for stupid names, for example:
- "Expedite 12" for the SPAS-12
- "Lachmann Sub" for the MP5
- "VEL 46" for the MP7
- "TAQ 56" for the SCAR-L...

The characters we play are extremely slow,
so much so that it seems like they are dragging their feet.
Not to mention that they also run very slowly, slower than obese asthmatic people.

The game contains moments each more stupid than the other,
like a crazy upside-down fight suspended by a rope from a helicopter.

The traditional AC-130 air support is back, but they managed to screw it up too.
A large number of unarmed civilians live among the cartel members,
which is impractical for a large-scale air attack.
This moment is devoid of fun, even frustrating,
especially when you're an aficionado of old Modern Warfare.

The legendary stealth gameplay of COD:4 in Pripyat is completely recycled in a level in Spain, this time much closer to Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 than to Call of Duty Modern Warfare.

The craziest level gives the player the opportunity to jump from vehicle to vehicle to drive them, in order to catch up with a convoy while avoiding mines and rockets!

Don't be surprised to see MWII has overwhelmingly negative reviews on Steam.
COD Modern Warfare II is a very average to mediocre game.
This game massacres the Call of Duty franchise in every way!
For your own good, avoid this game and buy the real Modern Warfare 2, the one from 2009.
The game is cheaper, much more fun, with cult characters,
a memorable storyline, beautiful music, and intense gunfights.
Don't thank me, and blame Activision.
