Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is a premium action game developed by Infinity Ward for PC. It is the sequel to the 2019 reboot of the Modern Warfare series and is the 19th installment in the franchise overall, and also marks the return of Task Force 141.

The return of Task Force 141
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2019) has become the franchise’s most popular game to date. It received universal acclaim for its revolutionary gameplay and its rather compelling narrative. With its direct sequel Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II receiving its Season 2 update, players are once again treated to the Hardcore multiplayer mode.
The bulk of changes and new additions in this sequel will build upon the gameplay that the first entry introduced. Some of the most notable things you can expect are better AI in its campaign and co-op modes, improved water physics, and an overhaul to the vehicle system. It will also see the return of fan-favorite multiplayer modes, Knockout and Prison Rescue.
There are several reasons why people love this game:
- Multiplayer mode
- Storyline
- Graphics
- Sound design
- Nostalgia
The Gunsmith system has also seen some tweaks that will allow you to fine-tune your weapon attachments to a greater degree. Story-wise, players can now follow the MW2 storyline with the sequel to Episode One: Atomgrad, still with the intense combination of stealth, action, and puzzle thrown into the mix. Despite these improvements, the game can crash from time to time.
A thrilling first-person shooter
Throughout the entire game, you can get your hands on a 100-tier battle pass that offers new weapons and cosmetics. Moreover, one operator and two DLC weapons are available, with data miners discovering possible hints in the game files. Players can also see the iconic Intervention sniper rifle from the Modern Warfare series making a return. Plus, operators Alejandro Vargas, Valeria Garza, and Alex Keller are also on the roster.
What’s new in Season 4?
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II has a brand new season and it’s filled with exciting features that can take your overall gaming experience to the next level. For starters, the new season features a crossover with Amazon’s hit superhero parody, The Boys, where three characters are to become Operators. Moreover, the crossover also comes with a new Temp-V Field Upgrade, which is a substance in the show that can give normal people temporary superpowers.
The Temp-V Field Upgrade has four power options; first, Charge Jump gives you the ability to power up and make huge jumps across the entire map—like Queen Mave from the hit show. This power prevents you from taking any fall damage and allows you to deal splash damage on anyone as you land. Next, Teleport lets you travel across walls, buildings, vehicles, and other obstructions which is inspired by the character Hughie.
The third option is Starlight’s power, which is Electric Shockwave that grants you the power to create a destructive electric explosion. You can use this to deal damage to enemies, vehicles, and equipment. Lastly, Laser Vision lets you levitate from the ground and discharge powerful laser beams out of your eyes. This power is Homelander’s signature move, as inspired by The Boys.
Season 4 also comes with a new 6v6 Vonel Waterfront Map, heavily inspired by the Floating District in the Resurgence map. Here, you can engage in water-based combat and discover new ways to outsmart your opponents. However, the multiplayer map doesn’t allow you to swim under the buildings unlike in previous seasons. You can now swim along underwater tunnels though, allowing you to escape the enemies’ sight. Lastly, there’s also a new Raid which is composed of the final three-player co-op.
A whole new experience
The Modern Warfare sub-series is considered to be one of the best games that the franchise has to offer. Years after the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019), you will finally be able to play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. It took its time to get to this point, but it does come with plenty of new additions and improvements, which makes it worth playing.
