Call of Duty is back in the hands of Infinity Ward, and it shows. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 builds on the original Modern Warfare by adding to the ability to really customize your class. This includes a whole host of attachments for your weapons, the ability to use two attachments (by use of a perk), a re-designed perk system where each perk can be leveled up and an all new "deathstreak" bonus to help newbies.
You'll find out pretty quick that the game has changed in CoD: MW2. You can no longer pick a shotgun as a primary weapon. Instead, it is a secondary weapon, taking the place of your pistol. And no more griping about Juggernaut or Martyrdom. These are now deathstreak bonuses that will only occur when a player has died a certain number of times in a row without getting a kill.
