Modern Warfare 2, answers to questions revealed

Posted on 01. Oct, 2009 by robdutchmonkey in Games, News

Well, for those that don’t know yet, there will be no demo available for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2… Reason I suspect is because demo’s tend to take excitement away from such big games. This games name has basically guaranteed the title selling millions with no demo required as most will be getting the game regardless. No need to play before you play, because lets face it, you’re going to buy it anyways right? If not, and the hype hasn’t pulled you in, I doubt a demo would either, and doubt Infinity Ward and Activision could really warrant a demo to gain a few extra sales.

Other then that, there has been activity on Robert Bowling’s Twitter page revealing some answers to questions recieved for Modern Warfare 2, and it sounds promising:

“Max level in #MW2 is Lvl 70 this time. We’re keeping the Prestige icons under lock and key.”

“Special Ops includes a variety of gametypes and mission objectives. One of many being a Wave Defense type.”

“There are 3 stars per mission. You get 1 star for beating on Regular, 2 stars for Hardened, & 3 stars for beating on Veteran.”

“Special Ops includes a variety of gametypes and mission objectives. One of many being a Wave Defense type.”

“Quite a few maps have varying degrees of visibility due to weather effects.”

“Yeah – there will be snow maps in Multiplayer.”

“It takes two rockets to take down an AC-130 in MP. Meaning you can’t do it alone but can do it as a team.”

“Bling is the new perk that allows you to put multiple attachments on your weapon.”

“If an enemy chopper is in the air while you’re in the AC-130 you can fire down on top of it to shoot it down.”

“There won’t be any civilians in Multiplayer, but they add a layer of tactical gameplay in Single Player and Spec Ops missions.”

“Tactical Insertion can’t be thrown out of the map, it’s dropped at your feet, not thrown in #MW2″

“There are no respawns in Search and Destroy so Tactical Insertion is useless there”

“There isn’t an option to search specific regions / countries when matchmaking, but there is improved matchmaking to auto-assist”

“What type of weather effects will there be on MP maps. ie. snow, rain, dust storms…
- All of the above. Quite a few maps have varying degrees of visibility due to weather effects.”

“The throwing knife is thrown via the left hand because the right hand is holding the weapon. Low Ready + Throw w/ lefthand”

“Air Drops are random. They could be an ammo resupply or an awesome killstreak reward. Its luck of the draw.”

“One of the new attachments is a Thermal Scope.”

“There is no Alien Terrorist mode. Can’t believe this rumor has any weight. Seriously… alien…. terrorist?!”

“You can combine any attachments you want, given they don’t physically overlap each other. i.e. Red Dot can’t fit on top of a scope.”

“So far we’ve only shown up to Lvl 26 (most have only seen up to lvl 10). With 70 lvls total of unlockables, you can do the math”

“People are saying the Riot Shields are too overpowerd. Do they have a breaking point? Is it going to be balanced?
- No. They can’t be destroyed but you’re slow moving, plus shield gets cracks (so no visibility after awhile). Can’t shoot also”

“Certain things that used to be perks are now attachments. Bandolier for example is now an Extended Mags attachment.”

“You can scale the vertical and horizontal horizons for your specific television so the HUD placement is perfect #MW2″

“Coldblooded counters detection from Killstreaks. Notice in the AC-130 video how enemies have Red Block identifiers around them?”

“Fun fact though, did you know Jesse Stern (writer of NCIS) is also a writer on #MW2 ?”

“Grenades actually HAVE physics now. Before they did not, so they’ll react realistically to the environment and world around them.”

“Since there is snow maps now, will there be any snow ghillie suits?
- Ohh yeah. Unique ghillie suits for each environment. Not only that, but enemy snipers look different than friendly snipers.”

All in all everything looks promising, lets hope there is an improved amount of weapons for online then what was previously published, we’ll keep our eyes open. Source
