Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is by far one of the best games I have ever played on an Xbox 360. I advise that everyone who is 18 years or older to go buy it. Compared to the other 2 call of duty this one has a better and has a more realistic feel in the story mode. Some of the battles could be considered historical; from battles in the Arctic to Washington, D.C. this game has better graphics compared to call of duty 4 modern warfare. I give this game a 5 out of 5 one of the best to hit 2009.
The multiplayer/live mode is a lot better than the other 2 games. My reasons are whenever you rank up you get to choose what types of rewards that you want to use when you get kill streaks. Such as in the other 2 games you would get a UAV whenever you get 3 kills in a row, 5 kills an air strike and 7 kills’ dogs that attack or a helicopter. Now in modern warfare 2 you have a list of these which you can choose from. 3 Kills UAV,4 Kills Care Package,4 Kills Counter UAV,5 Kills Sentry Gun,5 Kills Predator Missile,6 Kills Precision Airstrike,7 Kills Strike,7 Kills Attack Heli,8 Kills Emergency Airdrop,9 Kills Pave Low,9 Kills Stealth Bomber,11 Kills Chopper Gunner,11 Kills AC-130,15 Kills EMP,25 Kills Tactical Nuke. All of these can be switched out to you preferably. A few other things the sniping is more realistic. Meaning that it’s not so easy to snipe and not be seen. The guns are also more realistic looking, except for when you get radar that goes on your gun which is another add on from Call of Duty 4 modern warfare. Compared to Call of Duty 4 the radar is the same except when you get up on gun ranks you can get the radar on your gun. The radar on your gun is a major plus; it helps you keep your eyes looking ahead instead of up to the left side of your screen. There is an item called Bling this lets you have to attachments on a gun such as a eye sight and a silencer, compared to COD 4 you were only aloud to have one attachment. A fetcher called pay back is when earlier in a live match you have killed someone and that person killed you later in the match then you will see money fly up showing that you killed that person before and he got you back.

UCF Commentary
Is UCF campus as safe as it is made out to be? With putting time and knowledge into research it has been brought to my attention that there have been several attacks on the UCF campus. Our campus needs a few improvements to help protect our student body and faculty. The attacks have taken place during the night which makes it easier on the attacker to set a plot. So far this year, there have been two attacks targeting the same person twice in one week. By having, garage security cameras it has been easier for the campus police to identify the make and the model that the attacker drives. If we had more cameras around the campus there would be more of a chance to finding the attacker. Even though, UCF offers campus webcams in selective locations this gives the ability for anybody to view that goes to UCF. By giving the people access this makes the selective locations an easier target for predators to attack. UCF provides systems such as the blue light phone, and garage cameras as well as outdoor sirens.
By UCF allowing the population to view live campus web cameras this gives the attacker the ability to view individuals every move. For instance, the attacker could be anywhere around campus connected to UCF Wi-Fi watching his targets current locations. Whether or not, it’s walking out the gym doors or simply sitting down for a meal the attacker is watching every move your making having the mind set when to make their move. UCF is allowing any MyUCF account holder to view these camera locations not knowing they could put lives in danger. The web cameras that are provided to us should be for security use only.
According to UCF the safety features that are provided around the school campus would be Emergency Blue light phones. Every student should be well aware of the Emergency Blue Light phones, they can be found throughout the campus for emergency use only. For example, the emergency blue light phone should be accessed by a person who is being chased by an attacker. Also should be used if someone has gotten hurt or need police assistance.
UCF has put 4 new outdoor sirens around campus due to the attack at Virginia Tech University. With adding outdoor sirens this makes the UCF population aware of an event that is taking place around campus. Therefore, this makes UCF a safer environment while getting place to place outdoors. The next step that UCF is taking is to install 30 indoor sirens in the most occupied buildings to warn students of emergencies. These systems help alert the students that there is an emergency on campus but one thing the system doesn’t do is let the students and faculty know where the emergency is happening. This can lead to a problem because this can provide the students and faculty with the knowledge that there is a problem but they can run into the emergency.
As you can see walking through the campus garages there are several cameras throughout all of the levels. The cameras give access for emergencies situations such as someone being attacked, robbery, or even a hit and run. Recently one of my good friends had accidently hit another car left a note taking all the right percussions. The garage cameras were able to identify my friend’s make and model of his car. This situation is similar to an event that lead to find an attackers make and model of the car of which he was driving. Therefore, the UCF police can keep an eye out for that type of car being driven. On the surveillance video there is a current time that can be linked to a situation that has happened on campus. The cameras around the garage are an accurate source for campus police.
If you’re ever over at UCF these attacks aren’t an everyday thing but your better safe than sorry. Things to know: you are more prone to getting attacked at night when you travel alone. A few things you can do to prevent this from happening is if you aren’t with anyone to call someone and let them know where you are and stay on the phone with them till you get all the way to your car and have it started to be sure you are safe. One other way is to have a friend pick you up or make friends with someone in your night class and plan to park near or around them so you can walk with them back to your cars (the buddy system). Another thing that won’t hurt is to have the campus police number in your phone as a speed dial. There is one thing to remember this world isn’t safe you just have to be aware of your surroundings and be proactive (meaning think about the situation before it happens and prepare for it).

Letter to friend
Dear Friend
I’ve been doing some research on some things that have happened at UCF that I think would need an improvement on. Recently there have been attacks that have happened here at the UCF campus in Orlando. A few things that I think should be improved are the cameras around campus. These attacks have happened at night and also have been targeted at the same person twice in one week. One of the things that helped the school police was a garage security camera, which identified the make and model of the car the attacker drives. I believe if there were cameras around the school campus that there would be a greater chance of catching these attackers.
Here are some safety features around school. There are a few things you should know such as there are Emergency Blue Light phones that can be found throughout the campus for emergency use only. Since the attack at Virginia Tech University UCF has put 4 new outdoor sirens, the next step the school is taking is to install 30 indoor sirens in the most occupied buildings to warn students of emergencies.

Commentary
For walking down sidewalks to getting in your parked car at night there is always a danger of someone or something happening to you. Security is a major factor for college campus. Anywhere from surveillance cameras to emergency button stations there are a number of things that could be done to help the everyday student feel safer. All over the campus there are places the student or teacher can get conferrable with their surroundings. A statistic from ABC news says in 2005 “there were 35,000 reported crimes in just one year on college campus.” Here at UCF there have been 2 reported attacks happen in just one week to the same person.
