Summary:
Call of Duty Ghosts is owned by Activision and developed by Treyarch. The game is a first person shooter video game, which began on Microsoft Windows, which later expanded to consoles and handhelds. The games before this were based generally in World War II and near future times, Ghosts is takes place in a near future setting.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Game modes:
Campaign-
I personally liked playing the campaign in this game, it had parts that I didn't expect and had a storyline that is believable unlike the new futuristic games that barely have a storyline. The storyline of the campaign is that it takes place after the USA has fallen and the remaining soldiers fight to stay alive and to take their country back.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Multiplayer-
The multiplayer in Ghosts is very fun to play, unlike other Call of Duty games Ghosts added new mechanics to the game that allow you to destroy parts of the map the get to a better vantage point. Like my personal favorite on the map Octane where you can go upstairs and blow a part of the wall out to see the map much better when sniping or using any other gun.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extinction-
This game mode is a four played co-op mode, which puts you and your team up against various types of aliens in a survival style map. Which the main goal is to destroy all of the hives where the aliens reproduce and completing this will be completing the game mode. I liked playing this because it is similar to black ops zombies, but with a twist which I like because its not like the normal zombie the aliens don't always die from a headshot.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Squads-
This is a brand new game mode that allows you to play by yourself (with AI's) or with others to play against another squad (with friends or AI's and friends) and compete to win in, squad vs squad, safeguard and war game. I didn't play this much because I feel like multiplayer is more fun to me personally.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My opinion of the game-
I think the game is very much different from the other Call of Duty series before it. The addition of the dog companion to me is a very nice and is basically like a personal alert system for you and teammates in close proximity to you online in multiplayer. Also I like how they strayed away from zombies and used aliens instead, which makes it so unique. In the end it is a great game to play, it only has minor problems like frame rate issues and quality drop sometimes but other than that a really good game, I would surely recommend playing it for the different experience.

Summary:
Modern Warfare 2 is a first person shooter game developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision. It is the direct sequel of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, continuing on the same story line and gameplay.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Game modes:
Multiplayer-
  • Multiplayer allows you to play online with friends and people across the world to compete for victory against each other. I used to and still do sometimes play MW2 with my friends and to me multiplayer is the best game mode in the game.










Special Ops-
  • Special Ops (Spec Ops) is a game mode which is consists of missions you and a partner do and when you finish one you move on to another harder mission. I play this game mode from time to time but it can get boring after a bit to me but it is still a nice game mode.

Campaign-
  • In campaign you go through a series of missions which follows the story line of the game, once you finish the campaign you get a full understanding of the story line. I liked the campaign,but what I liked most was the end, which is down below.












--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My opinion-
  • I like MW2 just as much as everyone else, even though it is kind of old and the quality isn't the best, its still one of the best games I have played. I like that the series of the Modern Warfare games are all connected and that even though they are separate games they still follow the same story line which a lot of other series don't anymore, other games are more about futuristic things instead of a good story line.

Gameplay & Reviews:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Overview:
The game consists of three game modes:
  1. Multiplayer- This game mode that lets you play with others (PVP 5vs5) and either plant/destroy a bomb or rescue/protect a hostage. This game mode is the most fun to me and is the most played game mode, not only be me but with everyone else who owns the game.


  2. Terrorist hunt- This game mode is about hunting town terrorists before they can plant a bomb or if they get to plant the bomb eliminating the enemy team and defusing the bomb.
  3. Situations- This game mode is basically like obstacle courses for you to go through, which it is like the campaign for the game. I mainly used it to get used to the game and use most of the guns and get used to them before going on multiplayer.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My opinion:
  • I think this is a very addicting and fun game all around. Sure you have to get used to it if you're like me and have been playing COD mostly, but for me it didn't take long to get used to because it is basically the same. This game is mainly based on strategy and tactics, the game makes you think of new ways to outsmart the enemy team and claim the victory.
  • The game is much more fun when played with friends in my opinion, plus when playing with friends you can communicate and that will help by giving each other information of what to do and where to go. When playing with friends also for me makes it less of a loss when we loose because I don't take it too serious.
  • In all the game is very fun and addicting, it makes you think more than an average COD game and it requires communication for a bigger chance of victory unlike a COD game where you don't need a strategy as much.
