In Special Ops, this is where your teammate’s names and health will appear. These next two features of the HUD may change depending on game mode:įaction, Score, and Timer (Bottom Left): In Multiplayer, this is where the emblem of the Faction your Operator belongs to (either Coalition or Allegiance) is shown, along with pertinent scoring data, and a timer if the Multiplayer game has a countdown. In addition, your tactical and lethal equipment, along with the number carried, are also prominently displayed. Weapons Detail (Bottom Right): This gives immediate knowledge of the weapon you’re currently holding, the chamber and total ammunition (which may change color to yellow/brown to indicate you’re using specialized rounds), and the type of firing option you’ve selected for your weapon (if applicable). Variabilities also exist due to hip-firing, ADS, or moving about. Other markers may appear here including, but not limited to, red marks to show where enemies are firing from, or markers that show the general direction of objectives.Ĭrosshairs (Center): Displays the location your weapon will fire at or in short your precise aim and it varies depending on the weapon you’re employing. Numbers change to compass directions within five degrees of 0 (North), 45 (Northeast), 90 (East), 135 (Southeast), 180 (South), 225 (Southwest), 270 (West), and 315 (Northwest). The precise degree you’re facing is shown in a yellow/brown color in the middle of the compass.
Here’s a brief look at what appears on-screen:Ĭompass (Top Middle): Offers complete 360-degree information. The different elements of the HUD, not all of which are shown in this example, provide quick, important, and tactical data that you must learn and utilize as you grow as a player. The image above shows an example of the in-game HUD, specifically, the HUD you would see in a Multiplayer match. The campaign is still thoroughly enjoyable to this day, doing enough to justify its price tag in the process.Heads Up Display: Information from the Field of Battle Gunplay from 2009 still feels perfectly acceptable in the modern era, the impressive set pieces continue to hold up, and compelling level design ensures you'll always be exploring an interesting environment. However, that's not to say it isn't worth playing. Of course, it cannot compare to the series' latest single player offensive, devoid of sliding, weapon mounting, and the completely new soundscape which makes every gun feel life-like. The campaign lacks a single second of downtime, making for an incredibly tense and enjoyable ride from start to finish. It's a somewhat interesting narrative to be fair, but its main purpose is to push the two perspectives from place to place at the most blistering pace possible. So, what do we actually have here? The four to five-hour campaign plays host to a varied selection of missions telling Task Force 141's tale of the hunt for Vladimir Makarov and how the United States Army Rangers are defending the country from a Russian invasion. As such, you shouldn't expect to play with friends Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be the answer to that as it adds more and more maps to its growing roster. The single player campaign is what takes centre stage with this release, completely stripped of its multiplayer offering and the co-operative focused Spec Ops mode. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered (we don’t want to type that out again) is exactly what it says on the tin. It's interesting then that over a decade later, Activision has decided to bring the modern classic back without that functionality. Capitalising on the popularity of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Infinity Ward managed to define what multiplayer meant to a generation of players. It's been nearly 11 years since Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 changed the game for online play on consoles.
