It's easy to forget just how groundbreaking Call of Duty 4 was given the oversaturation of modern military shooters in the past 15 or so years, and Modern Warfare 2 only served to build and improve on that formula. This game felt like Modern Warfare 2.1, only piggybacking on its predecessors successes. Both Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2 have a number of memorable missions, but I could not tell you a single mission from this game. There's just an extreme lack of restraint, with every single mission devolving into everything exploding with a threadbare plot that's mostly just an excuse to blow more shit up. It's a game that feels soulless, more of an explosive shooting gallery than a genuine campaign.
