Three New Screens for Modern Warfare 2 Could Give Some Insight
http://www.slashgamer.com/2009/05/2...-warfare-2-could-give-some-insight/#more-4237

Because the new trailer was just released, Infinity Ward has redone the new website for Modern Warfare 2. The site gives you access to the brand new clip that was first shown during the NBA Playoffs. However, the site unveiled three new screenshots from the game.

We have posted these shots and you can see the other two after the jump. Each screen is high-res, 1920×1200 to be exact. So make sure you click on them to enlarge each photo, trust me it is worth it.

Notice the picture above? Check out the guy in the alleyway. Does he look like a civilian? If he is, he seems like he is getting shot, which proves my thinking that innocent people running through the streets can and will be shot.

Check out the glass on the riot shield being cracked by bullets pounding on them. That is some serious detail. Also, what the heck are those red lasers for? Whatever they are, I don’t think we want to touch them.

A couple of things I noticed in the picture could confirm a number of things. First, it looks like players will not only be able to drive a snowmobile, but also have a teammate hop on with them, as well. That could make for some fun gaming in multiplayer.

Another thing you might want to know, is the helicopter in the background. Could that be playable too? Man, I hope so.

Thats sick Champ! also in the 1st one you can see a statue of Monte Cristo so im guessing something is going down in Brazil

thats not sick at all, the last 2 pictures were in game informer

the swat team one is a playable mode which is going to be extremely difficult, those are gun sights from enemies on higher levels

and the snowmobile isnt playable in multiplayer, you are on the back of it during the first level of singleplayer

:ugh:

This is Infinity Ward's youtube page. Found it on their forums and they said they'll be putting videos up of behind the scenes developmental stuff for MW2. Plus I'm sure a lot of E3 footage will be up there.

It only has the two trailers right now, but it'll be nice to keep in mind further down the road when more things start to come out.

Yeah, the article in GI has a lot of info.

The new Spec Ops mode sounds pretty cool.

Although I'm sure this game is going to be awewsome IW seems to be making a ton of excuses, mostly concerning why they didn't include co-op and how they think a 6 hour campaign (like the first one) is the perfect length. Really? The first campaign was nsolid, no question. But it was crazy short.

COD games are Multiplayer games with Single player added. People dont buy these games to kill bots. The buy it to kill people like MVPete.

It's not playing vs bots. UT3's pathetic 'campaign' is playing against bots. CoD has a bonafide story mode. It's just a cop out to say that 6hrs is "the perfect length" and that they think it's a good thing that people "are begging for more" when the credits start rolling.
I kind of understand the lack of co-op in the main story because they chose to incorporate cutscenes throughout the campaign levels. When you do that it makes it tough with co-op because one guy might be battling a bunch of enemies and all of a sudden the other guy triggers the next cut scene. Pretty lame.

They did day that they are finally trying to address the constant respawning enemies problem. I find it interesting that it's taken them this long to figure that out though.

You can do it in Halo, Gears and several other games.

But what about those other 70%? Do they not deserve to get a full gaming experience. What if 50% out of those reminaing 70% don't have internet access.

I'll tell you just from working at a game store, you'd be surprised the amount of people who could care less about online. I actually bought my CoD4 copy for $30 because the day after it came out, someone who bought it day of, beat it and traded it in already, to which with my discount I bought the used copy. This guy is an avid gamer, just has no intention of going online.

That's pretty much me, minus the trading in part. I really don't trade in games anymore. But I'm about a 99% offline gamer.

I just think it's a huge cop out on IW's part. I know they make great games but I'm a little sick of how everyone is on their nuts. They include extremely short campaigns in their games and get away with it. Was the campaign in CoD4 fun while it lasted? Sure. But it didn't last long enough for me.

Maybe that's why I don't shit on Treyarch like most people do. At least the campaigns in CoD3 and WaW were a decent length and they still had plenty of memorable moments.

If IW wants to concentrate on multiplayer, fine. EThey should just dump the SP and put out a $30 or $40 game or move to the PC where multiplayer seems to be what nealry everyone plays.

 

[Steel Mamba]

you guys should check out ArmA2 or OF2 if you want a real military shooter. CoD is for the kids.

 

[Wildcard]

It would be awesome if CoD:MW2 added 2 players playing online on the same screen, like Halo.

TROLL!

 

[jags224]

this game is going to be the shittttttttttt i cannot wait

 

[mgoblue2290]

Sure, I'd prefer a 40 hour SP game, and 6 hours is pretty weak but if the story is done well I have no problem playing through multiple times. Plus since it's COD I have to try and beat the game on Veteran. I'm pretty sure I've beaten COD4 at least 5 times, twice on Veteran. It isn't the longest game but it's so fucking good that it never gets old. So if MW2 has another great story I won't mind if it's on the shorter side...

Like 8-10 hours on normal would be perfectly fine. Thats a good amount for an FPS. I'm the same away, I always go back and try and beat it on Veteran.

 

[The Messenger]

My favorite single player campaigns of the CoD series were 4 and 2. Best online multiplayer of the CoD series for me were 4 and 2. Both in that order.

I'll ride Infinity Ward's dick all night long because they make the best FPS out.

I agree. About ten hours for most campaigns is about perfect. Six hours? Not so much.
