Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has three different game modes to choose from: Campaign, Spec Ops, and Multiplayer.
Campaign is a single-player mode where the player completes eighteen levels connected by an overarching plot. Each level features a series of objectives to fulfill, and the player will often switch characters between levels. If the player dies during a level, they will respawn at the most recent checkpoint. Levels can be played on one of four difficulties, and each level can be replayed after it has been completed.
In this mode features twenty-three additional levels that can be played individually or cooperatively with a partner. These levels provide specific challenges, such as defusing three bombs within a short period of time. If one player goes down while playing cooperatively, they will begin crawling, and can shoot enemies with a handgun. If they are not revived by the other player, then they will die and fail the level.
There are five tiers of Spec Ops levels, with each tier harder than the last. However, only the first tier is available from the beginning, as later tiers can only be unlocked with enough stars. Players earn stars by completing the levels on one of three difficulties, with the amount of stars earned dependent on how hard the difficulty is set to.
This mode allows players to compete against each other in team-based and deathmatch-based game types on various maps. Each game type has an objective that requires unique strategies to complete. If the player kills three or more players in a row without dying, they achieve a "killstreak", which gives the player a tactical advantage during a match. These include a Predator missile strike, a sentry gun, and a "tactical nuke".
Alternatively, if the player dies several times without a kill, they will be rewarded with a "deathstreak" bonus, which evens the match for the player. A match ends when either a team or player has reached a predefined number of points, or the allotted time expires in which case the team or player with the most points wins.
The player's performance in the Multiplayer is tracked with experience points, which can be earned by killing opposing players, completing challenges, completing objectives, or by completing a match.As the player gains experience, they advance in level, unlocking new weapons. The player will also unlock perks, which modify certain gameplay elements like unlimited sprint and increased bullet damage.
