For many Call of Duty fans, 2019's Modern Warfare reboot can be said to be a major turning point in the franchise's history of shooters. Offering a stellar narrative loaded with creative gameplay concepts and an intense, diverse Multiplayer experience, the reimagined "Task Force 141" certainly had all the tools it needed to hype players up for the sequel.

As far as aesthetics are concerned, I've always found Call of Duty's presentation impressive, and that opinion certainly hasn't changed with Modern Warfare 2. From the streets and slums of Mexico to the neon-lit cityscapes of Chicago, and even the tranquil harbours of Amsterdam, every mission provides a new and enthralling feast for the eyes.
The locales are so rich, you'd take a break from shooting baddies and just sightsee.
What really brings the aesthetics aspect together are the cutscenes, which look absolutely amazing. Character visuals and speech have been rendered to a T, and at times it's almost like you're watching a liveaction movie.
As odd as this might sound, I personally found the Campaign experience refreshingly unique. I mean this in the sense that Infinity Ward didn't just copy-paste the conventional CoD formula into every level and call it a day.
