yeah iv seen that already... the game looks awsome

Modern Warfare 2 takes players to the snow-capped peaks of Russian mountains, across the deserts of Afghanistan and into the streets of Rio de Janeiro, and introduces a new co-operative Special Forces mode to back up the single-player campaign.

That's all according to a 10-page cover feature in the latest issue of US magazine Game Informer, which says little about the game's online elements but details plans for various missions in the story mode.

"The gameplay is wide open and has a lot of variety," Infinity Ward president Jason West told Game Informer. "In terms of the story... well, any good story is on rails." The game is set against the backdrop of continuing Russian instability, with a new baddy, Makarov, using Zakhaev's demise as justification for naughtiness.

Players will have to deal with the realities of flawed intelligence, however, and missions will evolve as a result. In one example, the player and a computer-controlled version of "Soap" MacTavish assault a mountain base in a blizzard with the intention of blowing it up, but then the player spies a satellite in a building and has to nick some information about it before escaping.

Rigging explosives involves creeping through the blizzard, which dramatically reduces visibility, and using a mixture of a heartbeat sensor and MacTavish's thermal vision to either evade or neutralise guards. Once the jig is inevitably up, there's an escape on snowmobiles.

Other missions include hunting down an arms dealer in Rio, which evolves into a running gunfight with militia among fleeing civilians, and traipsing across rope bridges through hidden valleys in the vast open of Afghanistan, which is all rendered at the game's requisite 60 frames-per-second. Then it's back to Russia, apparently, to try and disable AA guns interfering with UAV Predator targeting.

Special Forces mode, meanwhile, is "in the spirit of Mile High Club", according to West, who told Game Informer that it will use tricky scenarios that didn't make it into the single-player game and thus have no relationship with the difficulty curve.

"[Co-op] made a lot more sense here," West said, explaining that the levels were designed with two players in mind. Co-op tweaks include an on-screen arrow pointing to the other player, and a mini-map highlighting your relative locations.

There's no word on competitive online multiplayer, or whether Special Forces is playable over the internet, but West did tell Game Informer that the studio likes "making people famous", and that it hopes to convince Microsoft and Sony to let it tweak variables like spawn logic without issuing a full patch.

Finally, West addressed a couple of criticisms of COD4, saying the team is "actively trying to eliminate" the issue of endlessly respawning enemies, which was based on the way scripting responded to your movement through the level. He also said he was "very happy with Modern Warfare 1 and the length of it".

Sounds like the single player could be just as fun as the online!

Good that they plan to keep the SP up to par because it's doubtful I'll get any entertainment out of online.

I'm so getting this game. The first Modern Warfare was amazing. Hopefully, this sequal will live up to its name.

It better live up 2 tha hype

[jakncoke]

well if people keep the hype within reason all will be good, but if you over hype your bound to be disappointed by unreal expectations. Since I started posting about games sometime around PS3/Wii launch I have noticed many times that people set themselves up for fail because of that.

Infinity Ward have yet to fail on the hype. Call of Duty, Call of Duty 2 and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare have all been as awesome as they were made out to be.

I have heard a bunch of stuff from a bunch of guys I know.

Apparently they are going to extend kill streaks and have it so if you get 15 you get to control the machine gun in the helicopter. Which i think would be pretty sweet.

ALSO: One of my friends gave me a bunch of info on the fact there will be a zombies mode...


He said it will be called 'Night of the Dead' and instead of being trapped inside a small building it will be placed across a large map. Either from multiplayer or a cross between multiplayer and singleplayer. In this map there will be lost guns or you may have to open buildings or something for guns.

Sounds pretty sweet to me :)

They will be extending the kill streak perks but not in the way you have said. What they will be doing is giving players the ability to re-use the 3 kill-streak perks; i.e. UAV, Airstrike and Helicopter.
So it would go something like..
3 kills - UAV
5 kills - Airstrike
7 kills - Heli
10 kills - UAV
12 kills - Airstrike
14 kills - Heli.
