COD MW2: Titles and Emblems (How To Get Them)

modern-warfare-2-500

Besides the lack of party chat, I’m sure the one thing pissing off most Modern Warfare 2 players is the inability to find out how to unlock certain titles. After an hour or two of searching, I’ve found a forum that has a nearly complete list of all of the titles in MW2. I won’t waste your time so I’ll just throw the link below.

Modern Warfare 2: The Biggest Entertainment Industry Launch Ever

Modern Warfare 2 Screen

Yep, you read that right. Modern Warfare 2 has the best first five days of an entertainment product ever. Let that sink in for a second. Raking in a whopping $550 million over the first five days, here’s what Modern Warfare 2 beat out (from the press release):

  • The largest reported five-day opening worldwide box office gross figures, held by Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ($394 million)
  • The largest reported five-day opening domestic box office gross figures, held by The Dark Knight ($203.8 million)
  • The largest reported five-day worldwide video game sales record, previously held by Grand Theft Auto IV (6 million units, $500 million)
  • The largest reported opening first-day domestic box office gross figures, held by The Dark Knight ($66.4 million)
  • The largest reported first-day book sales in dollars, held by Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows ($220 million)
  • The largest reported first-day worldwide video game sales record, previously held by Grand Theft Auto IV (3.6 million units, $310 million)

Pretty damn impressive. There was no doubt this was going to be a huge success, but breaking all these records is crazy. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go play some Spec Ops.

Review: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Modern Warfare 2 Trailer Screen Capture

As you all know by now, the year’s most anticipated FPS title has finally dropped, and we’ve all been living, sleeping, eating, and breathing Modern Warfare 2 for 6 days now. I decided to hack my way through the campaign before I touched the multiplayer, and managed to hack my way through on Veteran Difficulty in just under 9 hours, yielding me roughly 600 points worth of achievements. Now, I make no bones about being a huge fan of the COD series, but this campaign was awesome. I know a lot of you buy the COD games only for the multiplayer aspect, but with this iteration in the series, you are only ripping yourself off. Why? Hit the jump and find out.

Impressions: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Screen

Well, the wait is over, and MW2 has finally fallen into our grubby little ninja hands. And let me start off by saying, this game is totally living up to all the hype. First, the story is enthralling, and extremely well-written. Other articles I’ve read, and people I’ve heard talking, have said they thought it was too far-fetched, and unrealistic. I disagree completely. I think the story flows very well, and is entirely plausible from a “possible-end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it” viewpoint. It’s not any more far-fetched than the standard season of the 24 TV series. The story and character development both carry on perfectly from the last iteration of the Modern Warfare series, and also introduces a few new characters as well.

Tonight Activision is giving Modern Warfare 2 the movie star treatment. No it’s not getting whores, blow, and ice cream. If it is, I don’t know anything about it. Instead of all those goodies Activision is launching Modern Warfare 2 in Leicester Square with a big party in the style of all those crazy moving pictures launch parties that are thrown in Leicester Square all the time. Expect DJ’s, some sort of celebrities, and Modern Warfare 2 to be there. So it’s like a movie thing but with video games. The party kicks off at 7pm London time. Don’t wait for me to kick if off because I won’t be going, I’m going to stay home and play Modern Warfare 2 at home instead of watching other people play it in the freezing cold of Leicester Square near some drunk yob urinating on a tourist. WAHOO! PARTY!
