Modern Warfare 2 has to be one of the best games i have ever played, the stunning visuals, the guns. The Campaign in this game is short (unfortunately) but is filled with so much action you'll want to come back for more. the only downside i really had with the campaign is that it's hard to follow, the story basically only tells in between missions during cut-scenes, or when the characters are talking while your in a middle of a gunfight and can't even hear what they are saying. Some will not like the story because it is so unrealistic, but its fiction, its allowed to be whatever it wants.
The Multi-player in this game is also absolutely phenomenal! you have so much to unlock for each gun it's ridiculous. Grenade Launcher, Silencer, Red Dot sight, ACOG Scope, FMJ's, Shotgun attachment(yes on a assault rifle), Heartbeat sensor, Holographic Sight, Thermal Scope, and Extended Magazines. Don't tell me you don't want to unlock all of this for every gun! Another excellent part of multiplayer is the killstreaks. Now this could either make it or break it, but this actually surprised me of how balanced these streaks really are, because not only do you have to get the kill streak the enemy players can shoot down all Heli's and Planes, the best part about the killstreaks though is that you can unlock them in any order. The best thing about multiplayer is that you get experience for everything, i have not gone a match without getting extra experience, either from buzzkill's, Headshots, or Payback. The online is amazing and will soak up my time in the month.
Now i haven't played spec ops that much so i will not review that section.
Overall Modern Warfare 2 is a must buy for any FPS or Call of Duty fan, i give it a 9.6/10
The special Modern Warfare 2 Controller made by Mad Catz does have some issues, the one that gets me is that you really have to hold down the R1 and L1 for you to either keep the gun looking down the sights or to keep shooting. The last thing that i don't like about this controller that was supposed to make this different is the Combat Buttons, They work, but for me they are in such an awkward spot on the controller i find myslef not using them at all. There is still good about this controller though, The grip on it is really good the rest of the buttons are responsive especially the R2 and L2 buttons. This is a Novelty but it is a really cool feature, underneath the control sticks there is a LED light that is green and you can turn this on or off, i keep it on just because it looks cool.
If you have enough controllers to get you by i wouldn't look at buying this one, however perhaps if you switch the control scheme around the controller would work better. I would personally go buy a controller made by sony instead of this one.
