The story is satisfying to complete, though, and does leave a lot of room for a Modern Warfare 2, or even DLC story missions to further the plot. It felt like Infinity Ward wanted to make an uncomfortable scene for the hell of it, with no real aim. The same setpiece could have played out in a cutscene and had the same emotional impact. It's a brutal scene and not one that needed me to control it. There is one particular scene - only one of two where you get to play as Farrah, the female lead - where you are in the body of a seven-year-old girl, and you have to stab a man to death. They would still have the same power, but you wouldn't have to do distasteful things. There are several sections that you are made to be an active participant in, that could have been a simple cutscene.
This sounds noble but only involves putting story hooks into the game that are uncomfortable. Infinity Ward said it wanted us to think, and not just play the game. Infinity Ward has tried to capture the shadow of global terrorism in Modern Warfare, sometimes successfully, frequently unsuccessfully. While the story is compelling, it is out of necessity, sensationalized. The game tells a compelling story of problems facing the world today. Don't try too hard, though, as the game has some breathtaking scenery, and you may miss something if you rush through. If you tried really hard, you could cut that down to six. I completed the medium difficulty campaign in about nine hours, but I wasn't hurrying. There are short parts where you use a long-range sniper rifle and have to allow for the wind and distance, or playing the level entirely in night vision goggles, and they stand out as ways to break up the feeling of playing multiplayer levels with bots. The story has enough gameplay elements in it to keep you engaged for the entire length. The story is new, with elements from a more modern setting. The game is similar to the original in name only, though it does share some of the same characters. Infinity Ward brings the single-player story back in a big way in Modern Warfare. These things are built below the main audio track and add depth and realism that you can appreciate when you are in a good set of headphones. You can also hear background noise not related to what you are doing, like dogs barking in the distance or generators running. The sound of gunfire inside a building when your character is outside is distinct from the sound when you are inside the same building. There were gunshots, of course, but a considerable variety. At specific points in the game, I would stand still, turn the volume up, and see what I could hear. It has been layered to produce a depth to the sound that you rarely hear. From the debris on the ground, to the clouds in the sky, everything looks like it was created to be super detailed.Īccording to Infinity Ward, the audio is something the company is very proud of, and rightly so.
All the playable areas in the game are vivid and detailed as you move around them. The picture at the top of the review is straight from the game, and the quality is like that throughout. The game seamlessly switches from cutscene to gameplay, as well.
