Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Official Thread

The hell with multiplayer. I want to play that campaign, right now.

I preordered my Hardened edition, I look forward to playing with you all.

I feel the same. Multiplayer is fun but the campaign is were it's at. So much fun and excitement.

I love the campaign. Multiplayer frustrates me because it reveals my inadequacy as a human being.

I can't wait for MW2, it looks awesome. Also, 50-cal and throwing knives all the way.

Exactly. It also gives me a headache. Be it my intense concentration or the twelve year olds screaming in the mic.

I solve this problem with not even owning a mic. Although, I really need to get one, since my friends need me to talk when we're playing.

I wouldn't say I'm awful, I just dont put a much time into it as most of the peeps on the internet.

I think we're the only PC gamers in this thread.
I was super hyped for MW2, I have played over 300 hours of COD4 online.

No Dedicated servers = no promod = no competitive play = no ladders = no point.

I canceled my pre-order soon after hearing and investigating why they did it. If they ever release a patch - I'll consider buying it.

I have no idea what any of that means, but judging from the backlash on the interwebs I can guess it's bad. Sorry that my console gamer ignorance prevents me from being truly empathetic, but I know what it's like to be screwed over by a corporation (currently getting my xbox fixed for the fourth time in 3 months :/)

Indeed. CoD 4 has such a strong fanbase on the PC. I don't know why they would sell out like this with the anticipated sequel.

Anyone going to get this for the PS3?

The infinity ward forums are covered in petitions for dedicated servers. Everyones like freaking out lol.

So apparently MW2 is going to have a third person mode.

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/10/26/mo...for-playlists/

You never want to bring a third person along on a date -- not unless that date happens to be November 10th. Infinity Ward's community manager Robert Bowling (A.K.A. fourzerotwo) has taken control and confirmed that a third-person camera viewpoint will be available in this holiday's monolithic Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, though it'll be limited to specifically labeled online playlists.

"It's not something you can toggle on and off in ANY game," said Bowling. The special mode can only be played in private matches -- toggled on or off just like "Hardcore" settings -- or in playlists that are designated for third-person play. According to Bowling, everyone playing in a third-person playlist will be restricted to the viewpoint. "This is just another cool way to play the game," he said, "you obviously will still have the option to play gametypes normal as well."

Our friend, the internet, has an inscrutable video of some person running around in third person, but you're probably better off waiting for the "awesome trailer" the folks at Infinity Ward have planned.

From the game play video it doesn't look all that great. But, I'll get IW the benefit of the doubt.

^3rd person was really unexpected from IW, hopefully, it won't ruin the game.

I doubt it would ruin the game seeing that it's just a little gimmick. It would never replace the main First Person perspective.

What I wonder is since aiming down sights is so fundamental to the gameplay is how it will work in 3rd.

It zooms in over the shoulder.

It's optional so I dont care. I might try it, but First-Person will probably be the best option.

There was a mod for Cod2 on PC where you could play in 3rd person. I used it a few times so it'll probably be the same.

Doesn't that mean people will be able to peek around walls?

The campers will rejoice. I hope it can be turned off when setting up a game.
