Realistic gunfire, explosions, and cries of pain are heard during the frequent and fast-paced combat.
Players use machine guns, sniper rifles, grenades, and missiles to kill enemy soldiers throughout the battlefields. from Russian armed forces, engage in skirmishes and combat missions, and track the ultranationalist in an attempt to discover his true motivations and co-conspirators.
This is a first-person shooter in which players assume the roles of members of an elite squadron on the trail of a Russian ultranationalist. The most-anticipated game of the year and the sequel to the best-selling first-person action game of all time, Modern Warfare 2 continues the gripping and heart-racing action as players face off against a new threat dedicated to bringing the world to the brink of collapse.
