Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is the sixth chapter of the Call of Duty series and the sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, where it continues along the same storyline. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (often shorted to CoD MW2, or just MW2) is a FPS video game which was developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC.
The game was officially announced on 11th February 2009 and later released worldwide on 10th November that year. It was released at the same time as two other Call of Duty games: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized for the Nintendo DS and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex, for the Nintendo Wii. Also there was a comic book series released which was based on Ghost - one of the game's characters, which was called Modern Warfare 2: Ghost.
Approximately 4.7 million copies of Modern Warfare 2 were sold worldwide in the first 24 hours of its release. On 12th March 2010, Activision confirmed that the game had sold over 14 million copies worldwide, making it the second best-selling game of all time in the United Kingdom, and third best-selling game of all time in America.
Since its release, there have been two map packs available as downloadable content; the first map pack was released on Xbox Live on 30th March 2010 and for PlayStation Network and PC on 4th May 2010. It was called the "Stimulus Package" which contained five new maps, two of which were from Call of Duty 4 (Modern Warfare) - these were Crash and Overgrown. The other three maps were called Storm, Bailout and Salvage. Within 24 hours of its release, it was downloaded over one million times and within the first week it had been downloaded 2.5 million times, breaking Xbox Live Downloadable Content records.
The Resurgence Package is the second map pack for MW2; it was available on Xbox 360 on 3rd June 2010 and will be coming to PS3 and PC on 3rd July. Again, the package includes five new multiplayer maps which are Carnival, Trailer Park and Fuel, with Strike and Vacant being transferred from Call of Duty 4.
The total income from first day sales in America and the UK was $310 million (£214 million) which made Modern Warfare 2 the biggest entertainment launch in history! After five days of sales, the game had earned $550 million (£379 million) worldwide and as of 18th January 2010, it has taken over $1 billion in sales.(!)
Is that enough to fill your head? Well here are some cool bits of trivia about MW2.
» In total there are 174,636 different arrangements of titles and emblems.
» The first column of titles available (the camouflaged ones) are out of order. S.S.D.D. should be arctic and Sgt. should be woodland that’s if they followed the same unlock pattern of weapons.
» The Italian flag is backwards, the colours should go green, white and red - not red, white and green.
» For the title called "Hard Target", you don't need to be falling or jumping, you can simply be on the wing of the plane in Afghan, or the fence near all the military vehicles in Invasion.
» The starter title FNG stands for "F***ing New Guy", and the SSDD title stands for "Same Sh*t, Different Day".
Finally, a CoD player, called Robotic Willy posted a fake viral video on YouTube explaining how to unlock the Callsign "High on Knife". This Callsign was unlocked by being killed by an enemy who threw a Throwing Knife at its highest possible arc. This video became extremely popular and was so convincing that players actually attempted to unlock the title. The title took the place of "Reversal of Fortune" in the video:

Not everyone found this as amusing as I did though, when viewers found out that it was a fake, their response wasn't pleasant: "Wow, what a douche bag, this is a crock of shit. That’s not even in the game, and the slot where your gay "high on knife" was, is actually the call sign for "reversal of fortune"... get a life bro"

10 Facts Learned About Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer
You must login or register to view this content.
I’m relatively new to the whole Call of Duty scene, as I’ve mainly been a Halo guy the last few years, but after a month of playing I’ve learned some pretty indisputable facts about the game, and I’ve chronicled them below. They’ve been discovered through a lot of yelling, cursing and nearly throwing my controller through my TV.
I love the game, but people need to follow certain unwritten rules or else it severely curtails how much fun everyone else has. But since when do people on Xbox Live give a shit about anyone else? I’m just a NOOB after all. Anyways, see what I’ve learned, and let me know if you agree or think I missed something.
1. If you use akimbo shotguns, you are a douchebag.
They’re so overpowered, it’s literally a glitch in the game, and every time I see a shaggy sniper sprinting around Overpass with these, I want to reach through the TV and beat his head like a snare drum with each one of his shotguns.
2. If you got a tactical nuke, you are either cheating or camping.
Look, if a 25-0 kill run and subsequent tactical nuke occurred once in a blue moon, I might be less skeptical, but when a solid 10% of my games end this way, I start to get suspicious. This is part of the primary argument that most people make when they say that COD rewards camping. And it does. It clearly does. Really the only way to get these high level killstreaks, outside of being virtual Jack Bauer, is to sit in one dark corner, and quietly pick people off all game with some sort of silenced weapon. If you are moving around the map, the chance of someone not killing you randomly from behind at least a few times is almost non-existent. Fortunately, for campers, this is why corners were invented.
3. Scrambler is the worst perk in the game.
They should just call it the “Hey guys, I’m coming!” perk. Once your radar goes fuzzy, you know to be on the lookout for an enemy very nearby. Sure it masks their shots, but if they can see to shoot at you, one of you should be dead before it should even matter. And when he’s using this perk, it’s usually him.
4. If you stay at level 70 forever, you are a douchebag.
Sure, dick around with your newfound AK for a few games, but this is why Prestige mode was invented. It’s just lame to permantly have all of the best guns and equipment ever all the time, so I’d say after about 10-20 games, it’s time to move on.
5. Sniping is lame, because I can’t do it.
There is nothing more frustrating in this game to me than A) being sniped, or B) trying to snipe. This is not the games fault per se, but god damn do I hate it. I hate click to breathe, I hate no one-hit kills (most of the time), I just hate all of it.
6. Killstreak rewards are the most unfair thing in the world, until you get one.
Killstreak rewards are kind of bullshit, let’s face it. It’s like if you were playing Super Smash Bros. and your friend is kicking your ass so badly, the game sees it fit to reward him with a giant crate full of hammer, hearts and stars dropped directly in his lap. It makes about the same amount of sense in Call of Duty, as terror is raining down from the skies in the form of a Chopper or AC-130 being piloted by a man who already has 15 unanswered kills under his belt. BUT, when that man is you? It’s one of the most fun things in the world. If I was better at this game, I think the trade off would be worth it.
7. The riot shield is fun for a grand total of three minutes.
I’m sure there are a multitude of advanced riot shield team tactics, but it’s more or less useless for the average player. I’ve so far never seen anyone make it through an entire game playing as a shielder, as they always end up annoyed and change class by the end. When I first started playing the game, I used it and got about seven kills in a minute because people didn’t know how the hell to kill me and I beat everyone’s ass down. That was short lived however, as everyone soon discovered the dreaded “step to the side” technique that the shield doesn’t have an answer for.
8. If you use the grenade launcher rifle attachment as your primary weapon, you are a douchebag.
It’s not skill if you have Danger Close on so when you launch a grenade if it lands within a football field from someone, it kills them in one hit. Sure, there’s a little bit of trajectory physics involved, but it’s mainly for people who don’t have the hand eye to shoot people with a red dot. But yes, this is coming from the guy who doesn’t have the hand eye to shoot people with the sniper scope.
9. There are far too many ways to make your profile reference weed in this game.
It’s one thing if you make your Gamertag ChronicBluntman. It’s another if you make your clan tag 420. But did Infinity Ward really need to include what seems like a dozen Callsigns that reference weed? “High Times” “Blunt Trauma” ha. ha. It’s funny until EVERY SINGLE fourteen year old playing thinks he’s being cool by using it.
10. The most satisfying feeling in any video game ever is successfully killing someone with a throwing knife.
In all my years of gaming, I don’t think there’s anything that feels quite this gratifying.
