2022 Game of the Year Awards — Achievement Awards

Multiplayer games are a huge thing in gaming. There are a lot of gamers who don’t touch them, but there is a large group who do. What makes a great multiplayer game is how it can bring you back. If the gameplay loop isn’t any fun, if the maps are dull, if the characters and action is boring you won’t want to keep coming back. From shooters, and MOBAs, to co-op adventures, nearly every genre has one.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II

While the overall suite of online shooting hasn’t changed much from 2019’s entry it has enough changes and tweaks to make this the best online shooter on the market. Call of Duty has done a good job recently re-establiishing itself as the king of this while also making a valiant effort in the single-player department. The maps are solid, older maps are returning, and there are enough changes to make this feel like there’s a nice thick added layer of icing on this already rich cake.
