Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2‘s campaign is here! And fans have been getting stuck in and having a blast with its fun and varied missions.

It’s obvious in the new game that Infinity Ward know what players want from the campaign. That’s because there’s an abundance of excellent stealth sections.

One is an infiltration mission which sees John “Soap” MacTavish gaining entry to a cartel mansion. Another is a survival mission which again features Soap, but you need to scavenge materials to craft items in order to stay alive.
