We’ve been playing Modern Warfare 2‘s campaign, and recently shared our early impressions of the single-player mode.

“If you think too hard, Modern Warfare 2 may leave you uncomfortable with what you’re doing,” reads our impressions. “But if you can switch off and enjoy the game for what it is – a globe-trotting action blockbuster – then the first few hours suggest that Infinity Ward has given Call Of Duty its sharpest, most mechanically satisfying campaign in years.”

As for Modern Warfare 2‘s multiplayer, our preview praised it as “the polished ideal of everything you might expect” from Call Of Duty.

In other news, more charges alleging unfair labour practices have been filed against Call Of Duty publisher Activision Blizzard.

The charges claim that Activision Blizzard’s chief communications officer sent a company-wide message “disparaging the union, making threats to withhold raises and benefit improvements from workers who joined the union, and giving workers an impression that their union affiliation and/or support was under surveillance.”
