Call of Duty: Modern Warfare multiplayer impressions — A romp through a battlefield playground

While the single-player campaign of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is intense, ponderous, and serious, the tone of multiplayer combat the opposite. It’s a romp through a battlefield playground, where players shriek for joy whenever they get a kill.

I’ve played the full single-player campaign and a number of matches in multiplayer, both with the beta test for multiplayer and with the final code at a review event. I played everything from Gunfight 2v2 (two players-versus-two players) to the Ground War maps where 32 players square off against 32 enemies.
