"It's hard to see the majority of people wanting to play any other multiplayer shooter until the next CoD is released, such is the quality of what's on offer here."http://www.videogamer.com/pc/cod_modern_warfare_2/review.html
- Game Chronicles scored it 99/100, with remark:
"This is definitely a must buy, despite the surprising $60 dollar price tag for a PC title. Grab your gear; you’re in for one hellava ride."http://www.gamechronicles.com/reviews/pc/codmw2/codmw2.htm
- IGN scored it 95, stating:
"For those planning to check out everything Modern Warefare 2 has to offer – online competition, full co-op Spec Ops mode, as well as the campaign – you’re looking at a no-brainer purchase. For the strictly single player crowd, however, Modern Warfare 2 is surprisingly short, and doesn’t live up to the standard set by previous Call of Duty games."http://pc.ign.com/articles/104/1043744p1.html
