The upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has received glowing reviews from most streamers.

Even Dr DisRespect, a known critic of the latest games in the franchise, praised the game a few days earlier. His only gripe, which has always been a point of contention in the community, was the absence of ranked lobbies and the SBMM system. Otherwise, he commended the game for its good map design, its handling of weapon attachments, and audio.

Call of Duty fans with early access can expect to get their hands on the game on October 20, 2022. The full game is scheduled to be released on October 28, 2022.
