45 Reasons why Call of Duty Modern Warfare
2 should be canonized
1) Broke sales records across multiple
industries 2) Intuitive Create-a-Class for
online play 3) Updated Killstreak rewards 4)
Expanded the gaming industry 5) Its an amazing
game
5Sales Record Demolition
- The total income from first day sales in America
and the UK was 310 million (214 million) which
made Modern Warfare 2 the biggest entertainment
launch in history - After five days of sales, the game had earned
550 million (379 million) worldwide and as of
18th January 2010, it has taken over 1 billion
in sales. - This means that MW2 outsold any movie, play,
sporting event, album or hit single in the recent
history of the US
6Create-a-Class
- Over 42 assault rifles, shotguns, submachine
guns, sniper rifles, handguns, launchers, light
machine guns - Creativity was encouraged with perks like Bling
which allowed you to have two primary weapon
attachments - Different load-outs with different perks gave
players the chance to make their weapons fit
their play style you could be stealthy or balls
to the wall - Gave MW2 a big advantage over comparable games
7Updated Killstreak Rewards
- Killstreaks were tools that players could use
once they reached a certain number of kills in
one life (ex. UAV showed where the other team
was) - Previously you could only use the UAV, Airstrike,
and attack helicopter but in MW2 you could
utilize the Chopper Gunner, AC-130, Pave-Low,
Harrier Strike, Sentry Gun, Nuke, and many many
more. - Killstreaks were cumulative, so getting kills
with one led to the subsequent ones. - This, like Create-a-Class, was very conducive to
players being able to customize their playing
style
8Expanded the Gaming Industry
- According to the NPD Group, Modern Warfare 2 sold
approximately 4.2 million units for the Xbox 360
and 1.87 million units for the PlayStation 3 in
the U.S. during the month of November 2009 - An unprecedented number of people played this
game ranging from all sorts of different ethnic
backgrounds, countries, ages and sexes. Everyone
and their brother was playing MW2 which did a lot
of good for the gaming industry and the gaming
community as a whole.

10Thats all Folks
The intuitive programmers and developers at
Infinity Ward and Activision have arguably
created the best first person shooter to ever
grace a gaming console. The reasons that I
mentioned and a multitude of others all lend
themselves as to why this game should join the
ranks of those to be canonized.
