Official Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 thread

[tlo450]

I don't feel like making a new thread every time something comes out so I will just make this.

There was a big expo tonight for this game..tons of new info released and gametrailers is uploading a lot of videos from it. They are cams but they are good enough:

If you havent already you should check out some of the videos on Infinity Ward's youtube channel:

Some of the new info released today:

Kill streak rewards:

I believe there are 15 but they only showed 9 at the expo...
3- UAV
4- Care package (ammo drop or a option for it to pick a random kill streak for you)
4- Counter UAV
5 - Predator missle (see some of the gametrailers videos for how this works)
5 - Sentry gun
6 - Precision air strike
7 - Helicopter
9 - Pave low (another type of helicopter)
11 - AC130 gunship

Note you can only have 3 selected at a time

Some other pics:

http://twitpic.com/hw7s7 Slight of hand is a perk 1 now
http://twitpic.com/hw7vd Shows some of the equipment you can use
http://twitpic.com/hw7zy Shotguns, handguns, machine pistols, and launchers for secondary weapons
http://twitpic.com/hw7zf Some sort of noob toob item for your secondary weapons

Many sources have confirmed suppressed snipers and shotguns (you can see a suppressed shotgun if one of the gametrailers vids). Other attachments include red dot sight, heartbeat sensor, thermal scope, and more. You can also dual wield some weapons.

Some new perks include:

Bling (have 2 attachments)
Commando (greater range on knife attacks)
Scavenger (automatically take ammo and grenades from a dead enemy)
Marathon (infinite sprint)
Lightweight (move faster)
Cold blooded (no idea, possibly takes you off the heartbeat censor attachment)
Scrambler (no idea)
Hardline (kill streaks take 1 less kill)

A lot of old ones from cod4 like stopping power, juggernaut, slight of hand, steady aim, etc are still there.

There is also a death streak option...If you die 4 times in a row you can select "Copycat" Take the class of the person who just killed you so you might get some better weapons if your sucking. There is also a "painkiller" perk which gives you 3x health for the first 10 seconds of your spawn if you die 3 times in a row. I don't really like this one..

New level cap is 70, not 55 like cod4.

Game is released on November 10th, 2009

I will update this post as more info is released...

omg i cant wait this game is gonna be sick as hell.

[Imagodd99]

I hope they make an uber hardcore mode where they just get rid of the dumb ass perks. Perks make the game so cheesey.

[tlo450]

Yeah I wouldn't mind a no perk playlist or something...I don't think I would play it often but it would be nice to have.

[Vigilante]

Thanks alot for the thread making and info drop man!

[brownsta]

Can't wait to try this game out with the Commando perk! Knife kills ftw!!

[tlo450]

^One of the default classes in the videos have a class setup of marathon (infinite sprint), lightweight (move faster) and commando...that's the sickest knifing class right there.

and this video shows a lot of the create a class and multiplayer setup:
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/pr...56087?type=wmv

If you notice when they are scrolling through the assault rifles you notice you don't unlock the last one until level 70...That means there are at least 70 levels damn..My guess is 75..

you can have like 10 attachments on your gun ...they show it when they are looking at the m4. Not all perks and kill streaks are included because they are showing a beta.

And one of the new death streaks is "painkiller" which gives a player 3x as much health for the first 10 seconds of their spawn if they die 3 times in a row. If there is a shipment type map you can die 3 times in a row on purpose then just go on a rampage. I really hate this perk it basically punishes you for spawn camping a team if they suck. I think the whole idea of death streaks is stupid anyway.

[Imagodd99]

Yeah, now I definitely hope they make a mode without kill streaks, death streaks and perks for hardcore. Overload with that ****. Getting way too complicated and not in a good way.

[colin]

^ true.. this is gonna be complicated at first just like rainbow six or sumtin but more arcady style of play. its not gonna hold me back from getting over the BIG learning curve that's going to take. I am glad they added more, because World At War was nothing different but just olden day war with the same sh*t as CoD4

This has pretty much all the info on MW2 that's out. I'm so running around with the FAMAS and pretending like I'm playing Rainbow.
