Like in the previous game, you are an elite
soldier in multiple services ranging from the
British SAS to being an American Army Ranger.
Your mission is prevent WWIII from occurring. The
single player storyline is infectious and gets
the players attention from the beginning. Intense
cut scenes and plotline results in
adrenaline-pumping, heart-racing storyline that
makes the player want to keep going. Players are
able to identify with the characters and it makes
the game that much better. The story, in
combination with the online gameplay, makes it
playable for most anyone.

Sales Record Demolition

• The total income from first day sales in America
  and the UK was 310 million (214 million) which
  made Modern Warfare 2 the biggest entertainment
  launch in history
• After five days of sales, the game had earned
  550 million (379 million) worldwide and as of
  18th January 2010, it has taken over 1 billion
  in sales.
• This means that MW2 outsold any movie, play,
  sporting event, album or hit single in the recent
  history of the US

Create-a-Class

• Over 42 assault rifles, shotguns, submachine
  guns, sniper rifles, handguns, launchers, light
  machine guns
• Creativity was encouraged with perks like Bling
  which allowed you to have two primary weapon
  attachments
• Different load-outs with different perks gave
  players the chance to make their weapons fit
  their play style you could be stealthy or balls
  to the wall
• Gave MW2 a big advantage over comparable games

Updated Killstreak Rewards

• Killstreaks were tools that players could use
  once they reached a certain number of kills in
  one life (ex. UAV showed where the other team
  was)
• Previously you could only use the UAV, Airstrike,
  and attack helicopter but in MW2 you could
  utilize the Chopper Gunner, AC-130, Pave-Low,
  Harrier Strike, Sentry Gun, Nuke, and many many
  more.
• Killstreaks were cumulative, so getting kills
  with one led to the subsequent ones.
• This, like Create-a-Class, was very conducive to
  players being able to customize their playing
  style

Expanded the Gaming Industry

• According to the NPD Group, Modern Warfare 2 sold
  approximately 4.2 million units for the Xbox 360
  and 1.87 million units for the PlayStation 3 in
  the U.S. during the month of November 2009
• An unprecedented number of people played this
  game ranging from all sorts of different ethnic
  backgrounds, countries, ages and sexes. Everyone
  and their brother was playing MW2 which did a lot
  of good for the gaming industry and the gaming
  community as a whole.

Thats all Folks
The intuitive programmers and developers at
Infinity Ward and Activision have arguably
created the best first person shooter to ever
grace a gaming console. The reasons that I
mentioned and a multitude of others all lend
themselves as to why this game should join the
ranks of those to be canonized.
