I have hundreds of hours in Overwatch, Halo 3 is one of my favourite games of all time, and I’ve had a go of all of those there battle royales. After playing for a couple of hours last night, I’m confident enough to say that this isn’t only the best multiplayer Call of Duty game - it’s the best multiplayer shooter ever made.ĭon’t lunge at me before you’ve even read my argument. It can be a bit tough to find a match - I imagine Warzone has absorbed a lot of long-time Call of Duty fans - but once you’re in, you’re in for a treat. This is a game that came out in 2009, with multiplayer that has been relatively untouched for the last 12 years. In all seriousness, I was astonished by how well Modern Warfare 2 holds up.

One 7.47GB download later and I’m back in Skidrow for the first time in 12 years, legging it around dilapidated libraries and uncanny playgrounds with an UMP45 and dangerously sticky Semtex. But I had already sat there waiting for it to install, excited about Highrise cross-snipes and 1v1s on Rust, so I went to Xbox support, requested a refund (which I’m not sure if I’ll get, but hey, fingers crossed), and spent another 30 quid on the correct version. It was late at night and I’d had a couple of cans, so I soon realized that I’d actually bought Modern Warfare Remastered, which does not, in fact, include multiplayer. I cut my teeth on shooters growing up, flitting between Infection lobbies in Halo 3 and high-octane bouts of Call of Duty’s Demolition, so an invitation to return to that world of voguish quickscopes and rogue rocket-propelled grenades was enticing, to say the very least. Last night, a couple of my friends asked me if I wanted to play Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer.
