Dec 22, 2019 For those playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare multiplayer, chances are you're currently using a scope/sight on any particular gun be it it for short or long gunfight engagements. If so, you might be curious how to unlock the various reticles available for each gun scope/sight. In multiplayer game level, the following is a list of the rank and XP in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the unlockables earned at each level, and the experience needed to advance to each level. There are 70 ranks, each requiring more XP than the previous ones to rank up. The rank icons are quite similar to that of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare with only the first 34 levels rank emblems.

Continuing our season of Call of Duty, Treyarch brings us an ambitious Wii port of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, subtitled Reflex Edition. We first heard about the game only a few months ago and people have questioned the quality even up until the game's release last week. With no official gameplay videos or screenshots leading up to its release, it's no wonder why many, including myself, thought the Wii shooter would fail to deliver. However, after spending many hours with the game, I will try to ease some of your worries.
After nearly 2 years, Captain Price and ‘Soap' Mactavish finally get their debut on the Nintendo Wii. All of the original storyline and details from the original are kept in tact, including the voice acting. If you've played any of the first versions of Modern Warfare, you'll immediately recognize some voices and faces. The game centers around various members of the armed forces around the globe. You'll take control of characters from the British SAS and the US Marine Corps as you track down Russian Ultranationalist Imran Zakhaev. The missions take place in the Bering Sea, the Middle East, and the Ukraine. Modern Warfare is known for its very action-oriented gameplay and Reflex Edition carries that tradition as well. You'll find yourself crashing in helicopters, on sinking ships, and many other events where you'll have to think fast on your feet. While the game can be completed in less than 10 hours, the campaign can be played in different difficulties that will significantly add to the time played and your frustration.
One of the key differences in Modern Warfare: Reflex Edition, is the addition of the Wii remote and nunchuk controls. The Wii remote is used for aiming, while the nunchuk is used for movement and reloading. These controls can be completely customized as well and it even allows for increasing levels of sensitivity. For the most part, the controls are a welcome addition and definitely increase the ease of play over other console versions. The Wii's control system is especially helpful for multiplayer and creates a much more fast and frantic experience.
Now let's get down to the graphics. We all know that Reflex Edition wasn't going to be able to achieve exactly the same quality of the previous versions' graphics, but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised when you see the game in motion. If you've played a previous version of the game, you'll definitely notice the graphics are more jagged and the background detail a little lacking. But I think you'll notice that Treyarch spent a lot of time trying to push as much as they could out of the Wii version too. Some areas that really show off some of the nice visuals are buildings with open rooftops. You'll see the light shining through and you'll notice shadows that are cast as a result. It's not the most dynamic lighting system, but it looks much better than most people initially speculated. One of the real issues I was worried about was a consistent framerate. While not 60 frames per second all the time, the game does keep a solid 30fps and rarely dips below that, even when there's a lot happening on screen. Overall, the graphics really hold up better than I expected.
Multiplayer
The multiplayer mode in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex Edition is by far the biggest reason to own this game. The sheer number of unlockables, upgrades, ranks, levels, guns, and gear is enough to keep you busy for long time. As you play, you'll be able to unlock various items and weapons by completing large kill streaks. You'll be able to use helicopters, UAVs, and all other units from the first Modern Warfare. They really went all out in ensuring that the multiplayer experience in Reflex was just like the original. It also features unlockable classes and many different multiplayer modes such as Free for All, Team Deathmatch, Domination, Sabotage, Headquarter, Search and Destroy, and Arcade. Most multiplayer games on the Wii so far have been hampered by poor connection/matchmaking systems. With Modern Warfare: Reflex Edition, I logged in and was in a server within 10 seconds. You can choose to create your own server, join another server with a different mode, or continue in your current lobby and hop from match to match. It's really a slick system and features the same interface as the previous versions.
Each match will yield experience points based on your performance and you'll be promoted to different ranks the more experience points you achieve. And utilizing the Wii remote and nunchuk makes the multiplayer experience the best on any console. Reflex addition has support for up to 10 players in each match and also features enhanced Host Migration from the previous versions.
Conclusion
My expectations were certainly low for Modern Warfare: Reflex, but I feel that Treyarch did a fantastic job ensuring the core elements of the gameplay were kept fast and fun. The graphics are definitely better than expected but the gameplay really enhances the experience to the point where you won't think about the number of polygons that much. You'll stop caring about resolution and remember that this is a port of one of the best games this generation. My only wish is that the game retailed for $39.99 instead of $49.99. Other than that, Call of Duty Modern Warfare: Reflex Edition is a solid game with some of the best online multiplayer of any Wii FPS.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare: Reflex Edition gets a 9.2/10
With large chunks of the gaming world busy getting in a right old lather over Modern Warfare 2, the belated appearance of a Wii port of the 2007 original the other day had all the impact of a Johnstone's Paint Trophy scoreline on a wet Wednesday night.
And just like the Swindon vs. Norwich match this week, it has nil-nil written all over it, with Activision hoping for the best by fielding its Treyarch reserve team. The bold intention was to release a fully-featured conversion, complete with all the levels and multiplayer features that have turned the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 game into a 13-million selling blockbuster over the past two years.

Sadly the result is only ever passable. While all of the basic gameplay elements that won the game such wide acclaim are retained, much of its visual appeal is reduced dramatically thanks to muddy visuals which don't even come close to reaching the standard reached by other Wii titles in the genre. This 'Reflex Edition' is a wobbly Telesync compared to the cinematic presentation you'll get elsewhere.
As pointed out by Digital Foundry the other day, the compromises are savage. At first glance, Treyarch does a reasonable PS2-level job of approximating the scripted action, but even Sony's old warhorse was capable of doing a better job than this in its pomp. On a basic level, frame-rate is halved to 30FPS - and it often struggles to even maintain that consistently - but it's in the details where Modern Warfare suffers most.
While you might expect shadowing and lighting to take a hit on the Wii, it's the muddy texturing, jagged geometry and facial detail that are especially disappointing. On standard-definition TVs this might not be that much of a problem, but anyone playing this on an HD set may find certain scenes less palatable. The overall effect isn't completely ruinous, but it's important to stress this is by no means the best possible port the system could accommodate judging by the quality of games like Metroid Prime and The Conduit. The devs here face different technical challenges, perhaps, but that's not the gamer's fault.
In terms of the gameplay there are fewer complaints, at least, and the experience is still highly enjoyable once you adapt to the peculiar nuances of motion control. For your money (and at £39.99 you're paying a premium) you still get the same six-hour, three-act single-player campaign that you'd expect, and it all plays out identically throughout.
Taking place in an unspecified near future, you control one of six characters across an interwoven story which focuses on the trials of the British 22nd Super Army Soldiers Regiment and the United States Marine Corps 1st Force Recon, as they chase down Imran Zakhaev, a Russian Ultranationalist. Like any good villain of the piece, he eventually resorts to attempting nuclear war to prove his point, so it's up to you and your ability to point a gun to stop the madness.
Because this is a Wii game, pointing said gun involves choosing between various Wiimote and nunchuk configurations before proceedings get under way. As well as the now-obligatory Wii Zapper support, there are six button layouts to choose from, in addition to six control presets.
Pitched from 'Greenhorn' right up to 'Insane' level, the idea is presumably to provide varying levels of sensitivity to suit the precise control requirements of all types of players. At the novice end of the spectrum, you get presets for slow, stable camera control and control-stick aiming for scoped and turret weapons, while at the other end you get faster, tighter settings and precision aiming for all weapons - and everything in between.
If you're still not happy with that, then there's probably medication available. You can drive yourself into uncharted realms of OCD by tweaking all manner of sliders, including the camera speed, the pointer sensitivity, the dead zone, ADS tracking and whether to turn gesture control on or off, but the chances are you'll be as reliant on the frame-rate as much as anything.
