Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022 video game)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
The reasoning behind why I chose this article to evaluate this article is because I am knowledgeable on this topic gameplay and developing wise and I think its interesting. Additionally, I found it amusing that the article was a C class article.

Evaluate the article
In the beginning paragraph introducing MWII as a first-person shooter videogame, the sentence structure kind of hurt to look at. The writing feels like its purely intended to list facts rather than focusing on readability, wording or clarity.

I think just a little elaboration on the significance of the events would be nice. It really just goes first, next, last rather than elaborating like “this is important because that missile was on its way to Chicago” The inclusion of “Valeria revealed they were transporting a missile off the Gulf Coast of Mexico with an intended destination of Chicago, prompting a raid lead by Task Force 141, Shadow Company and Alejandro to prevent the possibility of its launch.”

I also think it’s also would be notable to note that Graves and Shepard were working together as well as committing a small scale genocide of the people of Las Almas. It's not important but it's a whole section that develops the plot behind the characters that's important to MW3. It also sets it drastically apart form the 2009 version of MW2 where this wouldn't have mattered.

Just slightly, there's a lot of artwork in the game that's specifically related to Mexican culture because the game is quite literally set in Mexico. I believe a section on the artwork portrayed and the artists would be good. They did get Banda MS and id understand of elaboration into specifics with set design isn't really what this article is for.

The articles flow nicely, the first one is straight forward but structuring could be improvised. In addition it would be beneficial to separate Warzone and MWII 2022 a bit. While they over lap quite a bit having a section dedicated to it would be better purely because it came out in 2020

The article is very neutral toned and don't seem to be biased or swayed. Its factual with many sources to back it up.

The links all work, each lead to an article from various different articles from well-known game publications. Each fact is supported with either a publication or a direct part of the game including soundtracks. They seem to mostly be reliable with Information being sourced directly from the game or from people who are directly involved in the game making process’ social media accounts. These sources are all neutral with no visible persuading comments. The sources all come from well-known publishers within the gaming community and the developers themselves. No blogs or random opinions.

The conversations in the Talk page mostly revolve around wording. The first thing you see is a request to change the title from MWII to MW2 because there's not many people who use roman numerals. There’s more debate and discussing between the game devas using them but content creators and those in the community who don’t. There's also discussion on removing a whole section that was cited with a source that supported none of the claims made in it. The article is rated as a C class article with Mid-importance. Its not part of Wiki Projects. The way its discussed is a little more hostile than how we’ve covered any subjects in class. They do not seem to be very happy here
