Official Modern Warfare 2 Thread

[SlipperyMooseCakes]

This is the official thread for Modern Warfare 2. I have seen a handful of threads made a and a lot of them are of the same thing or just made for a single topic related to the game. This thread is dedicated to anything about the game as a whole and to be a compilation of information, videos, screen shots, etc of the game up until its release.

Official site and teaser
First in game footage trailer
First screen shots in Game Informer

The Game Informer pics are brand new and that issue is not even out yet so check up on that. I hope you all enjoy. Post as much information as you guys can find and keep this thread up to date.

Good info as always SMC.

I must admit, I'm not wetting myself over this like a lot of people on this forum are but I expect I will get this on release day.

Hopefully those Riot Shields will make it into MP, with a "Defend the VIP" type game class as well. Provoking teamwork is always a plus in my eyes.

[WilliWowza]

Well it's looking good but damn this game is getting hyped to hell, even by respected reviewers and games journalists. Here's hoping they don't disappoint.

Good thing about Call of Duty 4, that it wasn't hyped about much, and when people played it, it was great. So let's hope the hype doesn't build so high, that no matter how the game turns up, it's not going to stack up to expectations.

No matter what Infinity Ward do, there will crying little bitches everywhere excalaiming how the series has been ruined.

It's inevitable, and is the nature of anything with a fanbase.

[aquaticmole]

This game looks really awesome, I loved 4, so I'm really exited for this one, I just hope they don't overhype to oblivion

[Phantox]

Do any of you know where it's going to be set in? From some of the pics it looks like somewhere in South America and somewhere in Russia or something

[daklah]

Thank you my good sir for all your cooperation and help ;)

[Makeshift]

I was just reading an article on this.
Here are some things from the article:

"Now part of a new commando unit, MacTavish will guide players through a series of grueling missions, including an ice-climbing infiltration of a frozen Russian army base."

"Those looking for a single-player campaign longer than the original's 6-10 hours are out of luck. 'Stretching out the story seems like the wrong way to go,' Infinity Ward CCO and president Jason West told Game Informer."

"However, the cooperative campaign that many had hoped would be in Modern Warfare 2 is MIA. "We did a whole lot of co-op stuff early on that we were interested in, and it didn't work with the story at all," West said."

This game better have the War gametype from World at War in it, that's all I gotta say >:(

i thought that gametype sucked! no fun at at all.

[scetch00]

Holocaust Zombie mode.

[whitewolfer]

glad there's no co-op single player, call of duty was defined by its multiplayer, keep it that way

[SlipperyMooseCakes]

-No coop (for story)
-Special Forces mode, several missions in the spirit of Mile High Club (may have coop)
-More open ended gameplay
-No infinitely respawning enemies

God dammit.

Just because half the people who bought CoD4 never touched the damn single player doesn't mean they should skimp on it.

I want to cry now.
And what's this about Soap still being alive? I mean, I guess it's possible, but they hint really heavily at the end of 4 that he's supposed to be dead. >:(

[Final2Legion]

I just hope
A. Story is Good
B. Al Quaeda Zombies....i mean come on who doesnt want suicide bomber zombies?
C. A silenced P90 isnt the most overpowered shizzle in the dizzle
D. A Desert Eagle doesnt pwn a shotgun close range
E. No Rubberbanding 5 feet for a knife kill while getting shot in the face

[Grubby]

This game looks amazingly awesome :)

I love how Infinity Ward added some asymmetrical warfare into the game with the Brazilian level.

[TheRipper00]

If they dont ditch Juggernaut I will murder someone. I know they wont get rid of it but dam...we can wish

[Shnam]

No story Co-op? Wow. I am still going to get it but it really should have Co-op because WaW had it.

[Jawdyn]

I'm glad they have decided not to have a co-op campaign. Sure it was fun in WAW but for me it did take away that feeling that pulls you into the story and makes you feel part of the action. The Special Forces mode is also something i am looking forward to, and it seems to be the solution to the no-co-op campaign. For all we know, the Special Forces mode could have full missions, and DLC.

[SniperWolf1564]

Infinity Ward is trying to raise the bar on presentation for CoD: MW2.

Can't say for Treyarch, though.

[SniperWolf1564]

That riot shield better not be unbalanced in multiplayer, if it appears in multiplayer.

[DasUberCow]

You mean Modern Warfare 1.5?

Captain, is that a troll I spot in the water?

[SlipperyMooseCakes]

* No co-op in story mode, but separate missions reminiscent of CoD4's Mile High Club include cooperative multiplayer.
* In the wintery bits of the game, snowmobiles will be used to escape attack, but it's unclear whether players will be driving or shooting from the vehicles. Ice walls can also be climbed by alternating between the two triggers.
* A live-patching system will be implemented for online multiplayer, forgoing the need for a downloadable patch.
* Game will run at 60 frames-per-second, with better detail than CoD4.
* Riot shields, movable turrets and customized weapons for single-player enemies were mentioned.
* Gameplay's a bit more open-ended than CoD4 but is still linear.
* Stealth can now be used if you like.
* Infinity Ward's working on fixing enemy respawn issues (CoD4's enemies would constantly respawn unless a player crossed a certain line).
* The single-player campaign will be longer than it was in CoD4
* Swimming mode enabled.
* A 'Stealthy' Oil pipeline Scuba Mission will be included in campaign mode.
* A level will definetly be based in Rio De Janeiro.
* Siberian Level will feature in campaign mode.
* Vehicles (e.g. Trucks, Tanks etc.) will be introduced into the Modern Era.
* A 'Helicopter Based' Level will be featured.
* An Oil Tanker level will also be featured.
* Ken Lally (Wesker from Resident Evil 5) will be voice acting. Most likely as a Russian villain.

[TheRipper00]

^ I like everything you just stated.

God dam I cant wait.

[H-A-X-O-R-Z]

Soap is in the game as a "grizzled vet" NPC.

HOLY FUCKING HOT POCKETS YES!
