Modern Warfare 2 Details Leaked
May 13, 2009 at 12:23 am by Ruibo
Many new key details have been emerging about the hottest upcoming shooter Modern Warefare 2 courtesy of the next issue of Game Informer.
Some of these details that were leaked:
- 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.
Also according to PSM3, a UK based magazine:
- 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.
For those who has yet to witness the trailer here it is below.
And of course, some scans from the magazine courtesy of tiscaliz.
Hopefully, as in the past, Call of Duty remains great on the PC. Call of Duty is one of the few games left that isn't a console port.
Why call it "leaked" information, when it was information specifically given to a magazine to report on and not, in fact, leaked at all? Looks like someone's trying to score a few extra page hits.
Yeah…
Lol yeah I was going to mention that. The media ay..
why do i keep hearing ppl say its a fps game? what does that mean? i take it FPS stands for (frames per second) but i dont get wat it means FPS Game
first person shooter you idiot omfg
fps also means fast paced shooter
Full Prestige Simulator
OMFG YOU RETARDANDO IT STANDS FOR FIRST PERSON SHOOTER
IT means first pearson shooter
Since when did COD become COD: specops? I want large scale war back.
How many WWII games can they make? Besides this is only the second modern warfare game, they have already made 4 WWII games including World at War which was just released in November so play that or another one of the million WWII games and relax. The first modern warfare sold more and is still played more than World at War so why would they release another WWII game?
This is not a WWII game man. It's modern warfare 2.
yeah and besides treyarch announced that they are likly moving to the Veitnam War for cod7 s WWII it wil stil be actionpacked but on a lower level.
Gotta love the people making huge jumps in logic based on a few seconds of video and a few sentences. How about seeing the game in more detail before jumping to conclusions, yes?
Nice,really appreciating the screenshots and Brandon, there is a version of COD4: Modern Warfare for the xbox 360, so it has a console port.

cheers
He means a port from a console to the computer. COD4/WaW were availible on console, but weren't ports. Ports suffer terrible issues (Dodgy graphics/physics, 'Press Start' junk, little/no multiplayer support)
This game will be great but it needs to have Competitive Co-Op like COD: WAW.
I dont think it needs a co-op campaign but i do think it will need to have a zombie mode type thing like on cod: waw just more modern!
that would be cool but more like a horde of enemies and vehicles! not zombies but terrorists and "Ultranationalists".
Why the fuck doesnt Infinity Ward smarten up and make it able to play with a guest online.Look at Halo one of thr best-selling games mostly because of that feature. Treyarch is down the toilet,leave the good games to Infinity Ward,but they would sell 5 billion mpre copies if they introduced 2 player online. Btw I'm sick of Xbox rippin off our money with Live expenses. Btw Mag a major 256 players per battle fps game (similar to CoD) is gonna sell more than MW2.
okay dumbass, if you had a brain at all, cod4 modern warfare had competitive gameplay that is 10 times better than cod waw. get a brain retard.
He said competitive co-op assclown. Meaning co-op where you compete against your friends for points.
Why do they continue to make fps games that aren't coop story mode? I'll never understand the thought process behind their thinking. Never. Lets make a kick ass fps (which we all really know it is just another boring fps) and take the only element that makes the game fun (playing coop with a friend sitting right next to you) and say fuck it, we'll just throw out another mildly entertaining piece of shit.
Seriously, I am sick and tired of playing these regurgitated FPS games that I can't even play with a friend.
Well.. using the original Modern Warfare as an example, there were important moments of the single player story that would not have worked as well in coop, if at all. The coup, the downed pilot rescue, the nuke, the suicide, the ending.
Coop works better in some FPS structures than others. In the Halo series, the gameplay is oriented around arena battles that are very emergent in nature. The storyline is progressed through non-interactive cut scenes. This plays to coop's strengths.
In CoD4:MW, the story is told interactively through player POV. To make it work in Coop you'd have to strip out a lot of these elements because they're not really compatible with multiple perspectives. The combat would be fun in coop but the context, story, and moments would be less successful and it would ultimately be a different type of game.
SHUT UP MAAAAATE
yea you seriously play COD 4 and your just kinda blown away at some points, when it first came out and i was playing on an HD 50 inch TV and Surround sound i was practically pissing myself. Its like a movie that you interact with and your a part of. There are just some points in the storyline that just wont work with CoOp so Infinitly Ward is just trying to balance it out. Therefore they are making several side missions that are CoOp. Therefore you have the best of both worlds. A dazzeling and deep story and some fun Cooperative missions. But in the end its all about the multiplayer, look campaign is great the first week you have the game. The Multiplayer and the prestigues keep you goin and into the game. Thats why there are so many People still playing COD 4, and thats whats going to make or break Modern Warfare 2. I personally just want more gun customizations and more interesting perks ( ex a perk that gives you 2 weapon attachments or something like that ) and as honeydutchiez said i wanna have destructable environments. And hopefully Infinity Ward wont put too much shit in this game and screw it up. Its an amazing game and you dont need to fix what isnt broken. Just throw in some better graphics and add in a few more things and infinity ward is going to make a killing and i wont give a shit cuz ill be playing the best game on the planet.
The easy work around for that would be to skip those missions in Co-OP. They did it for a couple missions in WAW, why not this one?
what avatar said…nice word choice lol
SINCE you mentioned Halo i need to comment on a few things you said.
First Halo is not oriented around battlescenes; its oriented around you, the Master Chief 9 times out of 10 taking the fight to the enemy by means of guerrilla warfare. Initially you were beleived to be the last of the most elite and deadly military squad in history; many enemies you faced ran and cried in fear at the sight of you in battle, just as the Marines and ODSTs that you fought with would fight with renewed vigor at your arrival to a fight. There is one SPARTAN II, you, nobody else. Two Spartans didnt destroy Alpha Hal, 1 did (point made hopefully?)
Second, even with these facts and circumstances in the storyline you were still able to play with a freind as "2 Master Cheifs" and the story would go on as if there were just one. (yes, they did change this in Halo 3, proably for the same reasons you stated before).
But that would not be a good reason to not make a 2 player campaign mode. The Halo and COD games are similiar in the gameplay, I woulds think the game designers just felt there wasn't a need to have two people in Campaign mode for MW2, now for Missions where you were with Price (as Soap or as Roach) or when you were with McTavish as Soap maybe they could have done a 2 player co-op. whatever
To me, playin Story with another makes it less difficult(challenging) even with the adjusted enemies/difficulty; and it would be pointless. I mean think of all the times you played Halo2 Legendary and you wished you had someone to throw that extra grenade or take out that last elite. If Im gonna play with someone else its to face off with each other in a multiplayer match, not to play the story
Hey Doc…I'm with you on this one. I, too, am tired of the same ONE player story campaign feeling. So many games could've been SO much more entertainng and REPLAYABLE if they had designed them from ground up AS two player co-op.
If not just for the FUN, and REPLAYABLITY factor at least for the REALISM. I am an Army vetern of the War on Terror. Just got out 2 years ago. I don't recall being the ONLY "player" in combat in Iraq. I had my team, my squad, my platoon, my company, my battalion, my regiment, my divison right there with me. Even in the game you are given NPC or "computer controlled players" which ALWAYS seem to never REALLY do anything productive. YOU are always the one handling the objectives and achievements. SO..why is it SOOO difficult to make ONE of those NPC a PC (player controlled person)? UGH!
Rainbow Six Las Vegas…awesome game. Still play it becaues of the co-op. With a friend sitting right next me…it is a different experience each time. It even has great online play. Furthermore…they STILL give you the two NPC (though they are mostly shit (lack of better word)). The designers just added you in. (And for the designers of MW2…Rainbow Six Las Vegas had at least ONE (mostly likely more) mission(s) where Co-op didn't fit) The level where you find out you've been double crossed by a teammate…you are alone and talking to the perp…then you get ambushed. And Co-op still made it funny even the "story" didn't fit. FUN! Is what the game is all about. I want JUST a story…I'll read a book!
Rio de Janeio level will be fun!!
liar
from the screenshots above, i know there is a 1st person one, but if they make it 3rd person aswell like on the picture before that, i will actually have to cry!! Man i hate 3rd person it licks hairy bum cheese
You lick hairy bum cheese.
The reason they are not letting u play coop on the campaign is probably that some of the missions are just to hard to implement coop into, such as missions where u have to escape on snowmobiles or the helicopter missons.
WOW THATS GAY I BOUGHT THE GAME SO I COULD PLAY CO-OP With MY BROTHER
I'm tired of everyone complaining about what they want, and what NEEDS to be in a game. It's plain and simple COD is an fps and if you don't like it, fine and great, just shut up and play another game. They don't model the game after everything you want. Sure, there are a lot of things taht need fixed in games, but don't tell me about stuff that's in another game that makes it so great, there are things in COD that make it great that no other game uses. So please, shut the hell up with the co-op talk. It's clear COD wasn't geared to be a co-op fps. And if you want to play with some friends, why do you think it has online capabilities?
So how does this work with room mates or siblings? My wife always wants to play COD 4 with me, but I have to tell her no, since it doesn't have a CO-OP mode. So If she wants to play COD with me I have to put in COD5/WAW, I'm not a big fan of that one. I really like COD 4. And 2 player multi-player is just plain boring. Also I think it would be stupid to tell your friends to go home so we can play call of Duty, when they are at your house wanting to play now.
If the make Modern Warfare 2 in 1st person and 3rd person views that means that you can play the game in both ways however you want to play the game. Modern Warfare 2 is going to be number one best selling game. Sincerely, Macfan1
I'm really looking forward to the next Viva Pinata, no one wants this FPS games that are, lets be honest, a load of rubbish. We want horses in fairy tale gardens full of sweets, cannot wait. STOP THE MAKING OF COD6, MAKE VIVA PINATA!!!!!!
WTF Viva Pinata Sucks D***. What Are You Like 4 Years Old??
I love you. Logging on to play COD4 right now.
Yo the games guna be fukin hotness so stop bitching about co op the only thing I want to see changed is having a lot more guns and wen I hit a wall with an explosive it puts a big hole in the wall
Rental!
I dont really care about waw coop its boring if u ask me me but what they really need is some mode simular to nazi zombie and also be able to have a guest on olnine multiplayer and keep the camofouges like iN the first modern warfare
If there was a co-op mode it would only make it better. They really only need to change a few things, more weapons, more attachment(multiple attachments)would work well with a higher ranking system reach a certain rank and you get x ammount of attachments. Customized charicters would be sweet. DEstructable maps would really be cool. More maps more maps more maps. Cap the flag should have been in cod4, i hope it makes it to mw2.New perks and more of them. Other than that leave the game how it is. come on november. cant wait for tekken 6 either..
i personally think your all retarded, stupid things ive seen already…whats FPS? whoever thought it was ww2, kill yourself…If the make Modern Warfare 2 in 1st person and 3rd person views that means that you can play the game in both ways however you want to play the game, what the hell does that mean?
and only a sissy englishman would want viva pinata, i dont care if it was a joke, youre still gay. XBL GT, Owlbeback
I'm American actually, I tend to think, like all other Americans, Viva Pinata is the best and it's so good. Much better than any CODs. K?
And Acog snipers need to go, who in the funk uses an acog on a sniper, when you already have a great scope? acogs are for homos
If you dont know how great the acog scope on a sniper is, you must be the worst cod4 player on xbox. acog scopes are not for sniping, they are for getting close to the action and one-shotting people to kill them from closer range. Sniping is for pussies who hide in the bushes.
you guys are weird i love this game
i would like aliens in the game like nazi zombies exsept aliens
and why does every fucking person want coop campain its gay.
But iwould like more grenades and a guest online so my friends will stop bugging me to let them play
some people appreciate good storytelling over mindless fun, maybe the story called for one central character
