Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

[Stu]

An official announcement was made yesterday.

So, I don't know if anyone's been paying attention or not, but the Call of Duty franchise has been in the news lately...for the wrong reasons. The two heads of Infinity Ward have seemingly left their posts in an episode that involved security guards heading to the IW HQ late at night.

There's still been no official announcement from Activision or IW, but yesterday, the 2011 Call of Duty title was announced as being developed by Sledgehammer Games -- not Infinity Ward, the makers of Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2. This fall's Call of Duty is still being made by Treyarch.


They're literally coming out with a new game every year now.

Got my first nuke tonight, ever since starting to use the Tactical Nuke killstreak a few days ago. 3rd Person Capture the Flag on Rust, 4v4, using an RPD with a foregrip, Marathon-Hardline-Commando.

Got a bunch of kills defending the flag in the first round and got a Harrier, so I waited until the second round started and got 3 or 4 kills off the bat with the Harrier airstrike. I then climbed up top in the middle and used my Chopper Gunner to get 6 or 7 more kills. This is when I started crapping my pants. I never got a nuke before so I was really excited and started camping my balls off and picking guys off as they grabbed the flag.

Victory was mine.

If the maps are going to work with the game, expect more MW maps be thrown into the mix via DLC-s. A lot of people believe that the biggest issue with MW2 is not about the unbalance between the huge ammount of perks and weapons, but the worst issue is the level design itsself, followed by the spawn system (which success on its own completely depends on the level design). Im curious to see how Crash and Overground fare, as both of those are my favourite maps.

As for Shipment. I was on the Shipment hating bandwagon for a long time, mainly because of the same reasons (on PC, server rotations are sometimes ridiculous enough to allow Shipment into the list when the server has a 50 player cap), its overcrowded and turns into a stupid spamfest.

However, its the best map in the game for 1 vs 1. You can literally play 1v1 with any ruleset and have tremendous fun.

Not that I play or actually have MW2, but I thought this was pretty funny.

The only thing that comes to mind is:

AN EPIC FAIL FOR THE TIMES TO COME.

I'm happy about all of 'em besides Shipment. I guess they're trying to add the "rust" counterpart of the first game. Ah Christ. Other than that I'm not seeing a thing of the new maps until they're released (though one is obviously the white house).

Should've been more specific...the video was taken down within minutes, last month.

And I'd guess that the 10 maps would be split into 2 packs...3 new maps, 2 remakes in each.

[Stu]

If there's ten maps in the pack...then i'm back in.

Video has been removed thanks to Activision, might be something in that.

Haven't been playing a lot of MW2 as the rampant camping and Marathon/Lightweight/Commando Pro noobs have driven me away from it...but just recently, some 'leaked' info about the new map packs hitting in a few months was seen on the internet.

Here’s a list of the map titles shown in the video:

* mp_abandon
* mp_compact
* mp_complex
* mp_dcwh (The White House)
* mp_revolt
* mp_storm

The next four are Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare maps remade for Modern Warfare 2:

* mp_shipment
* mp_crash
* mp_vacant
* mp_overgrown


Ecstatic to see Crash and Overgrown in there, indifferent about Vacant, and pissed to see Shipment.
