First Look: Modern Warfare 2 Achievements

The upcoming holiday season will offer a lot of highly anticipated games, but the majority of gamers are the most excited about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.  The Infinity Ward production has been the subject of much talk over the past year, and we’re here to put one more mystery to rest.  We got a hold of the Modern Warfare 2 achievement list and want to offer you the first look!

Modern Warfare 2 offers 50 achievements for 1000GS, none of which are secret.  The main thing that sticks out to us is that all of the achievements are attainable through the single player campaign and Special Ops mode (a set of cooperative independent missions similar to Modern Warfare’s Mile High Club mission).  That’s right, no achievements will come from the online deathmatch modes.
