Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2’s campaign mode takes players through various missions involving the cartel and the crackdown of Major Hassan Zyani through the eyes of Task Force 141 and Los Vaqueros. The missions draw inspiration from real-life scenarios, as well as from various Hollywood war movies. If you have enjoyed the game and are looking for more action, there are several movies you can watch to relive your onscreen life in the Task Force. Let’s take a rundown of the top movies to watch if you enjoyed Modern Warfare 2’s campaign.
Zero Dark Thirty
The movie setting is similar to the entire campaign’s storyline, where the hunt and ultimate death of a weapon-smuggling terrorist is captured on the big screen. Besides that, the fight and raid sequences can give you an adrenaline rush.
Sicario
Sicario and its sequel will remind you of the cartel missions in MW2. There is even a border shootout scene that is similar to the movie, so you can relive the action again.
6 Days
This movie is the foundation of most hostage situations that you see on screen, and the standoff in the Iranian Embassy will bring enough tension. The campaign missions also follow the same vibe and have a somewhat satisfying ending to that of the movie.
Black Hawk Down
While Black Hawk Down does feature the action, it also portrays a more in-depth look into the minds of the Task Force deployed, making it more humane. Similarly, the campaign missions show your favorite operators’ fight for survival while having each other’s backs.
Saving Private Ryan/ Fury
If you love a good war movie, then these should be your go-to. While it does have the action, it also shows you the effects of war, which is featured in all Call of Duty games. These movies are a must-watch if you enjoy the complexities that war brings.
These are some of the movies to watch if you enjoyed Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2’s campaign missions. There are plenty of other war movies that resemble the elements of the game, but these are some of the best movies to watch if you are looking to start somewhere.
