Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Well, I think the issue here is that it's a good game with a virtually game breaking balance issue. People want to play it, but find it frustrating because certain builds are so much more powerful, and obviously powerful at that. I love Warhammer, but I know full well if someone sets up a Daemon army across the table from me my chances drop to about 10% because of how stuoidly powerful Daemons are, regardless of how good the player is. If they're actually good it's even lower.

Oh, ok, I understand that. I was just pointing out what I thought was a lot of complaining about a single game, when I didn't personally see that much wrong with this game.

Call of Duty 2010, developed by Treyarch, will have a Vietnam War setting.

^ Wow, that's surprising actually. I thought they'd somehow fit in more WWII. It'll be nice to not be in WWII with Treyarch for once.

The speculations arose when Treyarch licenced a few Vietnam era songs about the same time MW2 came out.

*rubs hands excitedly*

So killstreaks? Napalm? Agent Orange? "AINT WAR HELL?" FMJ-style chopper minigun?

i remember hearing about this a while back glad to see its been confirmed! ive always found the vietnam war interesting, I hope this game is dark and violent like Shellshock

[jagger916]

I might actually pick this one up. Better have Paint It, Black on the soundtrack.

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.

http://www.justpushstart.com/2010/01/16/modern-warfare-2-map-pack-leaked/

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.

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.

[Vector]

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.

[GuardhouseMusic]

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).
