Impressions of 'Special Ops' mode:

Sounds cool, but I kinda wish that 'Aliens' mode a la Nazi Zombies rumor was real.

You mean that was only a rumor!?

Notes from the trailer:

0:25 - is that a grenade launcher?
0:34 - Buzzkill! Stopped enemy short of a kill streak. 100 points.
0:36 - heartbeat sensor looks to be available in multiplayer.
0:41 - the ability to lock-in on gunships and shoot them down with rockets.
0:46 - AC130 gameplay
1:16 - Semtex replacing C4?
1:20 - Payback! (Challenge?)

My inbalance detector just went through the roof.

Guess whos going to be in that Spectre for the most of the round? Especially since its equipped with a legit "wallhack" and instagib weapons? In TDM type of games where you respawn immediately a 30 second timer will give you more kills than you ever need. The gameplay will polarize even further. Good players will roll sub-par players around, using every glitch and technique available and incompetent players will resort to camping, nadespam and whatever else they can think of. I dont mind the methods gameplay, but you can kiss "conventional" games goodbye. And still, players of higher calibre will absolutely destroy the servers. How many of you will carry a STA missile? I wont.

When I log into an average pub server, I have constant UAV, I average about 4-6 airstrikes and 2-4 helicoper raids per an average 1500-2500 ticket round. Reaching 11 kill streak is not going to be an issue. And I see a whole boatload of more talented players than me.

Then theres the certified wallhack in the form of a heartbeat monitor. IW will have to pull some incredible sh!t out of their bag of tricks to balance this game up, otherwise the only way this game is going to be enjoyable, is if well see either Promod, PAM mod or DAMN mod in development.

First glimpse at multiplayer:
"Customized kill streaks. Unlock and personalize your kill streak loadout."

Theres nothing fun in a Vietnam War game, the jungle setting is worse than you believe. I doubt theres better ways to do it than Vietcong and that game was a realistic shooter, which wouldnt work on a console. Unless were talking about more urban and open VC era games, but then I would rather play a fictional CQB Cold War era shooter in East Germany or something.

I wouldnt mind a "Platoon"-esque Vietnam shooter but I´d rather see it turn into a very specific FPS where the player does what soldiers in Vietnam did and thats just not COD material.

Essentially, if were going for a poorly scripted "epic battles"-kind of games with CQB as its primary sellingpoint then Vietnam and COD just wont mix.

Modern Warfare ditched the "historical reenactment" concept so expect some exciting battles in Germany and other parts of Europe. Then again, I wouldnt be surprised if the term "Cold War" was just used to market otherwise generic "Vietnam War" game. Korean War is also pretty difficult to market these days. I doubt COD would beat VietCong and VietCong 2.

So yeah, my money is on fictional friction between East and West.

I wouldn't mind a COD Vietnam game, cause outside of PC games, there are no Vietnam based games. The last console based Vietnam game I remember coming out was in 2003 or something. I think a COD Vietnam would be really cool.

The Korean war would be a nice place to base a game too.


But yeah most likely it will be fictional like with COD4.

still when does the beta for MP start?

Can someone explain to me just how a Cold War video game would work?

I'm not sure, but chances are you won't be hearing Gary Oldman's voice in this game () since Russia will most likely be an enemy. I suppose it would start off in Korean war, than span through the Veitnam war, Cuban missile crisis, and it ends with you playing as the gipper himself screaming " Mr.Gorbachev, tear down this WALL!" That would be a long ass timeline though, kinda hard to maintain a balanced storyline.
