Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Singleplayer + Co-Operative + Multiplayer) - 7/10
NOTE: The multiplayer aspect of this game is dying, so keep this in mind.
If you are buying for singleplayer and co-operative on it's own, which is quite doubtful, keep in mind this game will only provide so much content. The singleplayer is repetitive, short and lacking, while the co-op requires a dedicated person to finish the challenging, and often irritating, nature of the missions.
I would ONLY recommend this if you have friends that are willing to play with you, and you are also interested in the multiplayer (which requires friends as well, as the community is dying).

Scoring:
-1 for lack of graphics support (FOV, fullscreen windowed, etc)
-1 for lack of dedicated server support and dying community
-1 for pricing of content (lacking singleplayer and co-op content)

Graphics: The game doesn't look horrible and it runs on almost any PC you can find. The game supports 1920x1080, various levels of detail, 4x AA and other small adjustments.
The game does NOT support full screen windowed for multi-monitor ease of use.
The game does NOT support FOV adjustments, or high level graphical changes.

Singleplayer: The sequel of Call of Duty 4 or Modern Warfare 1 (and prequel to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3), the game continues where you left of in COD4. I shall not go into detail of the singleplayer story, as that would result in those that haven't played having the experience spoiled. The singleplayer is fairly straightforward. Kill a bunch of enemies, press a bunch of buttons in sync with what the game says, and watch the cut scenes. The game isn't that challenging, with the singleplayer aspect taking around about 10-15 hours to complete on veteran (the hardest game difficulty) depending on your skill level. To expand gameplay amount the game has achievements scattered through singleplayer and co-op, which include finding a bunch of hidden items, passing certain missions at certain difficulties, and various other challenges such as killing chickens quickly. The singleplayer, while it may immerse some, is one of the game's weak point, with it being completed quickly and without much trouble.

Co-operative Play: You play with one other player, in which one of you hosts and you choose out of three difficulty levels, which grant you stars; 1 for easy, 2 for normal, 3 for veteran. In total there are 69 stars in all, granted by completing all 23 challenges laid out before you and your partner. Most of the levels are similar to singleplayer missions, but these can be quite interesting with two people as it changes the challenges for two people. Included in the 23 challenges are time trials, elimination of enemies, races, and stealthy missions, among others. Despite the limited amount of levels in this game area, the missions given to the party involved is quite difficult and you'll be spending several days trying to discover the most efficient way of beating the game.

Multiplayer: This is Call of Duty's main focus, multiplayer. The game starts you out at level 1 with a set of predefined classes to get you to learn the basics first. Custom classes allow you to modify your character setup the way you want it, allowing you to customise weapons to your playstyle. This game has various unlocks as a result of using weapons and completing in game challenges, and these may be beneficial to players. The multiplayer scene contains no dedicated servers, and as a result you will often run into servers that give horrible ping, as a result of the low amount of players in the game search pool. Find a group of friends that live fairly close to you (chances are if they are in the same country you'll still get great ping) and host a game between yourself in either private or try to create a lobby as a big party. The multiplayer contains no Steam achievements, although connection through game lobbies work pretty well through the Steam friends list. The multiplayer can be entertaining if you find a reliable, low ping lobby with a bunch of players that aren't 10.
