Out of everything Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has to offer, many fans seem the most surprised about an extremely realistic version of Amsterdam seen in a campaign mission. Although the upcoming Modern Warfare 2′s file size is smaller than its predecessor, everything that has been seen about Infinity Ward’s new CoD title fits with the new wave of visually impressive current-gen games. Being an installment in one of the largest game franchises of all time and introducing new game modes like Warzone 2 and Ground War, Modern Warfare 2 has CoD fans excited for its October 28 release.Despite the anticipation, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2‘s beta, which ran in September, unfortunately left a lot to be desired, as it suffered from hackers ruining the multiplayer experience with exploits. The game also featured controversial new mechanics meant to enhance MW2‘s realism, including, most prominently, the removal of gunfire indicators on the minimap. Additionally, Modern Warfare 2 will adopt Overwatch‘s phone number account restrictions, so while some players are indeed excited, there’s still quite a bit of controversy surrounding CoD: MW2 already.Related: Call of Duty Cheat Makers Racketeering Charges From ActivisionModern Warfare 2 looks very impressive, however, mainly because of the graphics that mimic real life.

Although Modern Warfare 2 contains fan-favorite CoD maps, the campaign’s rendition of Amsterdam has already caught the eye of millions of CoD fans and is definitely something players are looking forward to experiencing.
