The little clicks that let you know that you've hit your target, or the way grenades clink around on the ground, regardless of surface, haven't changed at all, either. It's still about putting the sights of your gun on the enemy and carefully pulling the trigger. The core activity in the multiplayer hasn't changed a bit. If you're like me, and don't like getting shot at by snipers from large distances, you'd do well to stay low on Wasteland. Urban areas dominate the map list, but you'll also find large, mostly flat areas like Wasteland. You'll fight across the rooftop of a large office building in Highrise, while Rust is a very small area designed for hectic free-for-alls, sort of like Shipment was in Call of Duty 4, but with a bit more verticality. The action takes place across 16 different maps that offer a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles. Online, up to 18 players can meet up in several different types of matches, which cover the standard bases, like deathmatch and team deathmatch, as well as capture the flag and several other objective-style matches. The big draw in Modern Warfare 2 is its competitive multiplayer. Instead, the risky stuff is saved for the single-player campaign, which offers tightly packed thrills and rock-solid gameplay, though the narrative is so wild it can get exhausting. But rather than taking a ton of huge big-budget risks, Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer carefully builds upon the developer's previous success in ways that will astound people who have spent the last two years learning every corner of every map in the previous game. Modern Warfare 2 represents Infinity Ward's first work since Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare raised the developer's profile (and increased the bulge in its wallet) several orders of magnitude.
