No detail is spared: the injured crawl for safety leaving trails of blood, only to be mercilessly put to death. At this point you can't run, making the methodical slowness of the death walk that makes it so affecting, the inexorable extermination of wave after wave of innocent people. You're of course expected to join in with the bloodbath, but morally it's not easy to get involved.
Not wishing to blow my cover, wandered into a bookshop and took out some paperbacks. I also shot some tills, which spat out money, and lit up some hand luggage, which impressively spilled its contents on to the blood-soaked floor. You can't shirk from the slaughter entirely, as the police are called, and in order to finish the level you will have to murder them.
The whole thing leaves an unpleasant taste, and you have to question Infinity Ward's motives in including that level, other than to garner publicity and giving pundits a further opportunity to demonise gaming. If they claim that it was to advance the story and establish the villain of the piece, then the whole incident could have been explained in a cutscene or a voiceover.
And anyway, what story? The Rizla-tliin plot seems to consist of four blokes called things like Meat, Ghost and Jet going to an exotic location and finding a bloke who knows the whereabouts of another bloke in another continent. This is warfare as travelogue, with a trail of dead that spans the globe and back. For instance, with the dirty business of the airport massacre out of the way, you're off to Brazil, hunting some bloke through the favelas of Rio in the shadow of Christ the Redeemer.
This is one of the trickier levels, as it's hard to get your bearings due to the fact that every twat with a machine gun or grenade launcher is generally stood above you, causing you to spin round in a circle of your own doom.
Furthermore, shooting peasants in a slum under a tourist attraction doesn't particularly feel like modern warfare. This nagging doubt continues when you're in North Virginia defending a restaurant called Burger Town that's piqued the interest of dozens of enemy soldiers, who may or may not know what they're fighting for. This is of course still an adrenaline-filled ride - shooting helicopters out of the sky is fun anywhere - but compared to something like COD4's seminal All Ghillied Up level, the Hollywood accusations would appear to have some resonance.
All the same, the Burger level lets you try out some of the new hardware, namely the Predator drone: a remotely controlled plane that can be used to wipe out infantry. You're even congratulated if you kill 10 or more in one strike, like some kind of human bowling game. Elsewhere, new gadgetry is introduced when required, but you're not boinbarded with it.
It's possible to negotiate most levels using the weapons of your choice, with the big guns coming out for the occasional set piece. On a more defensive note, the riot shields provide some welcome relief, as well as some physical gratification when you smack a nearby foe upside the head with one. As previously, the screen is often spattered with your own blood -essentially a visual health meter - and constantly seeking cover is a genuinely stressful business, with gunfire's default setting apparently being extreme.
Without visual clues it would largely be impossible to know what to do, and having a dot to follow, or a guide as to how far the next objective is proves invaluable, particularly as the shouted instructions tend to be relayed against a cacophony of explosions. Thankfully subtitles are available, even if they're largely in military speak. It's a bleak portrayal of warfare, where shitting in a hole is as much a part of the conflict as calling in an air strike.
What it shares with Modern Warfare 2 is language, and fans will be immediately familiar with jargon like "oscar mike", "danger close", "stay frosty", "interrogative", and "how copy". That's arguably where the realism ends though, as some of the action in Modern Warfare 2 is preposterous. The game is essentially one jaw-dropping set piece after another, with the occasional scripted event ensuring that the story -thin as it is - continues in the obligatory absurd fashion.
You certainly can't argue with the variety, which sees you variously tapping into American paranoia by protecting the streets of Washington from invading Russians, or tearing round an oil rig rescuing hostages, with a neat slow-motion effect requiring you to kill the captors before they execute their prisoners.
With shorter missions than COD4 you should able to complete the campaign in less than 10 hours, the brevity being something of a Call Of Duty trademark.
That said, such is the intensity of the experience, you probably wouldn't want it any longer, as it's a genuinely nerve-shredding business. There's often talk of emotion in games, but Modem Warfare 2 has no truck with such concepts, instead it delivers a sheer adrenaline rush that genuinely makes your heart beat faster, often causes you to contort your face, and frequently invites the emission of venomous language.
Given the hype that we've had to endure over the past year or so, living up to it was always going to be a difficult task. Short of the game actually fellating you, it was virtually impossible to fully meet our expectations. That's not to say it isn't an astonishing game - there are moments that will cause your jaw to drop - but in many ways it becomes apparent that COD4 was the genuine breakthrough title.
What Infinity Ward have done with the sequel is to ramp up the action to such intense levels that you can't help but be overcome by it. This game is an irresistible assault on the senses that'll have you bucking in front of your monitor for the duration of the single-player campaign. Of course the purists will scoff at such fripperies in favour of the seminal multiplayer mode, which builds on the foundations laid by the original, despite the lack of dedicated servers.
While you could feasibly drag the campaign out over a week, the multiplayer could arguably last years. And that's before you consider the all-new Special Ops mode, a series of brief missions culled from the main campaign and playable either solo or in two-player co-op.
Modem Warfare 2 isn't an unreasonable package then, and all things taken into account, a game that you should probably consider owning if you have any interest whatsoever in the military FPS genre. It may be more of the same, albeit with a more ludicrous approach to warfare, but as a technical achievement it's largely unrivalled, with gameplay that is rarely less than ferocious, a rousing soundtrack, and voice-acting that manfully manages to carry off the cheesecake one-liners.
The hype for Modem Warfare 2 may have bordered on the hysterical and at least that's over , but Infinity Ward have largely delivered on its promises with something of a landmark title.
Objectives are displayed on the head up display where it tells the player in which direction and how far away an objective is. The task at hand varies for each objective, from having to arrive at a certain location checkpoint, to killing all enemies in a specific location, defending an object from enemy attack, or planting an explosive grenade on an enemy installation.
The only way to heal the character is to stay out of the way of enemy fire and allow their health to automatically regenerate itself. It includes independent mission that take place in a variety of locations from the games campaign mode, even though they are not related to the campaign.
A majority of the Special Ops missions in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Free Download can be played alone, except for the two missions in the Bravo group which requires two, but all of the missions will allow two players to play cooperatively either locally or online.
Some of the scenarios in the Special Ops missions include snowmobile races between two players, one player offering air support from an AC for the other player who carries out objectives on the ground, capturing an enemy base, and killing 40 or more enemy troops at a time.
Players can choose from three difficulty levels to play the mission: regular, hardened, or veteran. By completing a mission the players earn stars, three stars are available for earning in each mission; one star for finishing the mission on regular difficulty, two for hardened, and three for veteran. Once a player has earned a certain amount of stars they unlock more missions. By the end of a mission players will view a statistics screen that reveals how long the player took to finish the level and how many kills each player got.
The kill streaks are earned by killing a set number of enemies without dying in between kills. A few of the kill streak options include receiving a supply drop after getting four kills in a streak, guiding a Predator missile strike after killing five enemies, and controlling an AC gunship, or Chopper Gunner, after getting eleven kills.
