I found some time over the weekend to sit down and dive into the campaign for Modern Warfare 2, and once I got in I couldn’t get out. After about 7.5 hours of playing I finally reached the end and defeated the threat against the United States. I won’t go into too much detail about the storyline because there are some cool twists and turns that I don’t want to spoil, so I’ll mostly talk about the flow of the story, the different levels and things of that nature.
When I got the first Modern Warfare game 2 years ago, I dove into the campaign mode on the “Hardened” difficulty level. I didn’t want to be held down by the looming “Veteran” level so I opted to play it a little safer. I knew I could beat the game on Normal pretty quickly so I wanted to make it last. After beating it on Hardened I did go back and beat everything on Veteran which gave me some nice replay value, but with Modern Warfare 2 I wasn’t really looking for replay value in the campaign, I just wanted to dive into multiplayer, which honestly made me feel a little guilty. The developers put all this time and energy into making a great single player campaign in addition to the multiplayer that everyone loves, so I felt that I needed to give the campaign a shot. This time around I dove headfirst in the campaign on the highest difficultly level, Veteran.
