MW2 Campaign Mission List

The Modern Warfare 2 campaign is a globe-trotting rollercoaster of emotions, but many missions will you spend playing this latest Infinity Ward game?

However, Modern Warfare 2 can end up being on the lengthier side, especially if you decide to knock up the difficulty and go for all the achievements and trophies.

How Long Is The MW2 Campaign?

Overall, it should take you around six hours to complete the Modern Warfare 2 campaign if you're playing on the relatively easy difficulty settings. However, if you knock the difficulty up, then it will almost certainly take you much longer to complete the campaign. Some of the missions see you absolutely swarmed with incoming enemy fire, so you'll need to take things slow and steady to make it to the end of each mission alive. What's more, some missions lean heavily into stealth gameplay. If you're not well-versed in stealth tactics, then you might end up getting stuck on a few missions.

There are also plenty of achievements to collect in the Modern Warfare 2 campaign, one of which will require a second playthrough. Realism mode is only unlocked after completing the whole campaign once. This mode uses the same difficulty curve as Veteran, but it removes much of the HUD, including your compass and ammo counter. Good luck with that one.
