Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

[riderkid]

hey any idea when the MP beta testing starts, im hoping to try to get a beta key

[nemesiswontdie]

The MP5 and FAMAS (first SOCOM now this) makes me a happy clam. I never saw the problem with the M16 though, I always found the burst quite lethal.

From wikipedia:
The M16 rifle family has been the primary infantry rifle of the United States military since the 1960s. With its variants, it has been in use by 15 NATO countries, and is the most produced firearm in its caliber. The M16 entered U.S. Army service in 1964.

the MP5 and the FAMAS makes me happy as well.

the M16 was good for the time it came out hell some parts of the gun wernt even metal. if you dropped your M16 you were fucked it would jam and be useless. thats why the AK family (even though i hate em they are good) and the M4 are used alot more now insted of the M16's and the fact that the M4 uses carbine makes it better as well if i can remember correctly

I doubt this list is final but there better be more than two sniper rifles. I need my M40. <3

[nemesiswontdie]

cause M4 uses carbine which is better

Where's the Beretta M92F?

But YAY they kept the G36C and the added an M14 EBR! That's awesome!

i wonder why the hell they would add a M16 in the weapons list i mean seriously its a shitty gun and does any army even use them? are they even in still production?

From field reports that Ive heard over in Iraq, the new M16A4 is actually quite an effective and well built weapon, it fixes all the faults present in the M16A1 that was in service during Vietnam. The US army still uses them a lot.

The M16 just as a really bad reputation from the original, the newer variants are fine, otherwise why would the army still be using them?

'Silenced ACR with Heartbeat Sensor,'
'AK-47 ACOG,'
'AK-47 Grenadier,'
'FAMAS Red Dot Sight,'

If you notice, at 1:13 of the demo when Roach takes out his handgun, he holds the handgun with his right hand over his left hand which is holding a knife -- very Big Boss-like.

5:15 - Soap OWNS an unsuspecting Russkie.

Damn, can't wait for this. Everything looks soo good.

[missvalentine]

This looks so damned awesome, i wanna watch it all, but i don't want to spoil myself like with RE5.

I watched up until he planted the charges.

I really love how it still has the same feel as COD4 did, i think it's pretty safe to say this game will be at least as good as COD4.

Lots to talk about with this gameplay demo.

- The level takes place in Kazakhstan.
- Soap MacTavish is a grizzled bad-ass veteran now.
- Ice-climbing looks pretty cool.
- What kind of weapon is that? The radar-attachment is awesome.
- The environment looks OUTSTANDING. Gives the impression of a true blizzard.
- The game looks like it feels EXACTLY like COD4...and that's a good thing.
- Riding a snowmobile and shooting? Fair enough, but I hope the vehicle thing doesn't become a theme like some have said.

Once again, the theory (or rather, an educated guess by now) is that the franchise splitting into two will not mean that *Call of Duty* will change. Think of it this way. Call of Duty will still go on with its trademark "4-corner-2~3-chokepoint" level design, along with S&D as its strongest suit. Not to mention, its very likely that COD is still going to use modern combat in its future titles. The MW isnt even a split, its basically (as theory goes) vehicular combat with COD tried and proven infantry combat.

In short, noones losing anything, and everyone gains something. Its a huge difference from how franchises today are getting exploited (Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, RE, amongst others) and certainly a very, very respectable move.

On topic, I hope that snow maps in multiplayer will be rare, far and inbetween. Snow might look good on pictures but its bland, uninspiring and plain boring.

[EDIT]

I just saw the footage. Couple of quick impressions.

Likes:
-Snowmobile part is ridiculously awesome, my doubts on IW´s ability to nail vehicular aspect have been shredded. Good job.
-Some of the scripted "Puzzle"-like sequences are nice

Mehs:
-Same soundtrack

Severe dislikes:
-Single Player looks to be as ridiculously stupid and scripted as COD4
-What is with that radar BS?
