Last weekend we had access to the open beta of the multiplayer of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. After several hours enjoying what it has to offer, here we share our first impressions. Maybe it’s the little push or brake you needed to buy it.
The multiplayer gameplay of Modern Warfare 2 it remains fairly similar to its recent installments. So your most die-hard fans will have no problem jumping back into the action. Of course, when coming out on new generation consoles too, the graphic section is the one that presents the most changes.
From this point of view, we find ourselves with one of the deliveries that is best seen in this FPS saga. The moves, weapons, and even special actions look great. Which cements this installment in the realism that Activision wants to achieve.
Our time playing was on a PlayStation 5. We feel this helped add weight to the experience thanks to the DualSense’s haptic feedback. The firing of the shotguns and the reloading of the weapons manage to feel in a surprising way. Not to mention that it adds a very satisfying level of immersion.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 let us play the classic and some new stuff
The open beta of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 It allowed us to get into four different game modes. ANDThose included the classic Team Deathmatch and three relatively new modes that offer some variety to multiplayer.
The first of these is search and destroy, which involves players searching for bombs to disarm, while the opposing team defends them. There are no automatic respawns here, but players can revive downed teammates.
Another is Prisoner Rescue, where one team protects their prisoners, while the other tries to rescue them. Finally we have Knock Out, where the objective is to retrieve a package before it is eliminated by the opposing team. As you have surely realized, almost all of these modes of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 they are quite similar.
That’s precisely why most of our time is spent in the trusty old Team Deathmatch. This mode is still quite fun and addictive despite the passing of the years. We also take the moment to applaud the Activision servers, since in this mode we find new games in a matter of seconds.

Unfortunately we cannot say the same for the other modes. Perhaps because they weren’t as eye-catching to people, waiting times were quite long. In addition to this, on two occasions we were disconnected when trying to change modes. Maybe it’s a problem that they will fix for the final release.
A brief taste of the maps that we will find in the final game
During our time in the beta of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 We play on different maps. These were a hotel, a museum, a kind of abandoned land full of dilapidated buildings and a market.. Each one with its own pros and cons, but with a visually very well achieved design.
Of all of them, perhaps our favorites were the market and the museum. Especially because they manage to capture the Mexican essence very well. Let’s remember that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will visit some Mexican scenarios. Not to mention they featured some very good urban combat settings.
One that we didn’t really enjoy was the hotel. Since it has different places where campers proliferate. Like small rooms and the reception. Although visually it was very attractive and presented an interesting map in terms of the places that could be visited. Like the kitchen and an elevator shaft.
We found this choice of maps for Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer to be good overall. Since it presented us with a good variety for different types of game. With scenarios where you can run in search of enemies, make confrontations from opposite sides of the map or have great firefights in wide open spaces.
The good, the bad and the ugly of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
The good thing about multiplayer Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 it is quite addictive. There are many rewards to unlock, so you can customize your own class and play the way you want. In addition, the graphic section and the haptic response on PS5 manage to get you fully into this most realistic shooter. We can’t wait to play it more.
Some of the bad thing that we found, is that We consider that there was not a good balance in terms of player skills. We played several games where this was very noticeable in the final result. With users accumulating up to 25 deaths, while others none. But we trust that it will be something that they solve for their launch.
Finally the ugly thing is that unfortunately the game stopped three times unexpectedly, sending us back to the start of the PS5. In addition to the fact that he always did it unexpectedly and in different scenarios. So we didn’t know exactly what caused it.
It should be noted that those problems were the least, but still we must mention them. YWe’ll see how the whole experience works when Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be released on October 28. Did you also try the multiplayer beta?
