More Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 details leaked on Twitter
Twitter seems to now be the fashionable place for leaks and hints from game developers, after recently showing you the first (blurry) picture of the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, we now have more info on that title straight from Infinity Ward’s twitter page.
Apparently these details were posted by a rogue play-tester for the game, who has since been banned and deleted from IW’s twitter service. Whether this action was taken because they were spreading lies or truths is open to debate.
The below ‘facts’ certainly do seem plausible though:
- Vehicles will be in MW2
- M16 will return, using stopping power will only be OHK at head, neck, and torso (abdomen, limbs, and hands/feet will not)
- Ak47 and M4 will return, unknown if there are any changes
- M40 will return, ACOG damage boost will be fixed
- Scorpion, P90, M21, R700, G3, G360 will not return
- There are more unknown weapons that will not return
- New sniper rifle: SR25M (United states forces)
- New Assault rifle: Diemeco C8 (Canadian forces M4 equivelant)
- New Assault rifle: L85A2 (United Kingdom forces)
- Total weapons in multiplayer are said to be around 35
- Favourite Modern warfare 1 maps will return
- Helicopters, air strikes, UAV will return
- Red dot sightings will come in different shapes for multiplayer (circular, square, original)
- Snipers will have special grass camouflage (As seen in Modern warfare 1’s campaign)
- All perks will return from MW except eavesdrop and others will be altered
- All gametypes will return from MW and all will have hardcore versions
- New gametype: Secure (Call of duty version of capture the flag, however you capture the enemy’s Intel)
- New gametype unconfirmed name, similar to search and destroy, however instead of trying to plant a bomb, you try to kill a specified enemy
- Solider customization for each class (and each country)
- Sniper with silencers will NOT be in multiplayer
- There are NO bots in local multiplayer
- Similar version to Nazi Zombies, however details are unknown
- NO guest players online, 1 player per console
- Killcam save feature
- There is blood and gore
- Offline/Online Co-op
- Story takes place in the Middle East
- Role as US marines return
- Ken Lally voice work in campaign
- Release is set for sometime in November
- New army tags will be available to add different elements in campaign (similar to halo skulls)
- Campaign-only weapons

Brandon, what the hell is “Call of Duty: Wardren of War Fair 2″? I’m certainly not surprised a game with that name isn’t coming out.

no G3?!??
That, with a red dot or silencer was the best weapon in the game!
they better have some sort of equivalent for multiplayer. I loved that gun.

I like what I see so far, the only thing that I’m really worried about is the vehicles. But then again, this is Infinity Ward, and unlike SOME developers, they understand what the word ‘balance’ means. Excited for release!

This list was proven fake quite a while ago.
Here’s just one of many links that talks about this.

This is very dissapointing. MW was a great game, and I was hoping they’d make MW2 better, but this looks like they’re just making an equal game. A couple things that is going to make this game simply terrible:
NO guest players online, 1 player per console
(are you kidding me? What year do they think this is? 2004? Most online games now will allow you to bring a guest, so why they would choose to get rid of this feature is baffling to me.)
There are NO bots in local multiplayer
(AI bots are not hard to program these days, and it doesn’t take a professional anymore to make even a basic AI. This clearly shows the companies lack of enthusiasm towards the game. Many people do not have online capabilities and this is pushing people to sign up online. I think this is a bad move on the companies part, and will cause them to lose sales from those behind in this technological age.)
I could rant forever about this but I’d though I’d just point out some obvious points. Someone needs to get on the phone with the developers before they put out a half assed game.

I really hope they don’t follow WaW example and add vehicles to multiplayer and thus ruining the online experience. Also adding silencers to sniper rifles is the worst idea ever. come on how fun is a map everyone is a sniper. and another point what is everyones deal with stopping power and juggernaut- i mean come on is juggernaut really that bad? i don’t find it annoying at all same with stopping power.

oh and btw bots are retarded… it nots that they are hard to program John G its that how fun is local multiplayer anyway if you want to play against the house then play the campaign on veteran… or get live… i mean its not worth the effort when the game is mostly focused on the online multiplayer anyway come on how many of us are going to play local multiplay alone anyway… if you want co op there is a new mode for that basicly terriost hunt anyway so stop complianing about things that would not in anyway add to game.

This is by far the most unreliable source of Modern Warfare 2 information. MW2 will most likely have all of the weapons from the first game. The P90 was confirmed in the gameplay demo.

Whooaa! Lovin’ the details. The thing that surprised me the most is no snipers or silencers in multiplayer. That’s not to say I don’t think it’s a change for the better, though. =)

leaked? this was posted on twitter and sent out…that’s called a post, or an announcement. leaks are not supposed to happen, as this obviously was…
English….learn it, love it, live it.

This wasn’t an official announcement by Infinity Ward. This was an unauthorised public revelation of unannounced and unconfirmed information. That is known as a ‘leak’.
English…learn it, love it, live it.

it came from Infinity Ward, “we now have more info on that title straight from Infinity Ward’s twitter page”
so it came from the developer…so it’s not a leak…learn to read and comprehend
Seth

Greg, don’t be a numpty. ALL leaks originate from the developer, otherwise where would the information come from?
The difference between as leak and an announcement (as I explained before) is whether it’s an official planned confirmed piece of information or not.
Infinity Ward’s official stance on this info is that “All of or part of this information is untrue.” Of course they won’t say which parts may be true or not.
Therefore this is a leak. Learn to read and comprehend. Case closed.
