Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is a first-person shooter developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Microsoft Windows. Officially announced on February 11, 2009, it launched worldwide on November 10, 2009. It is the sixth entry in the Call of Duty series and a direct sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, continuing the same storyline, with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 set to conclude that story.

Despite the efforts of the U.S. Marine Corps and the British Special Air Service in the previous game, the Ultranationalists seize control of Russia. They declare Imran Zakhaev a hero and martyr, erecting a statue of him in the heart of Red Square, further straining diplomatic relations with the United States. Meanwhile, Vladimir Makarov—one of Zakhaev’s former lieutenants—begins a five-year campaign of revenge for his death, carrying out acts of terrorism.
