Happy Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Day. Or is it just, Happy Modern Warfare 2 Day, who cares what they’ve called it, just know that it’s out now at every major retailer. Unless you got one from a local mom and pop store earlier than it’s 11.10.09 release date . Now you may ask yourself, “I have both an Xbox 360 and a PlayStation 3. What system should I buy it for?” Looking at the screenshots may make or break your decision.
We mentioned how MW2’s F.A.G.S video showed off Cole Hamels hatred for Grenade Spammers. No one likes a spammer, but how about an abuser of power. It seems that Modern Warfare 2 has a new perk after reaching 25 kills in a row without dying. It’s called “Tactical Nuke” and not only does it obliterate everyone, but you also kill yourself.
Infinity Ward’s latest Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 trailer is… interesting. It does show some gameplay footage, but for the most part it’s a PSA to ‘Fight Against Grenade Spam’, or F.A.G.S. for short. Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels tells us random grenade throwing are, “for pussies”. It’s kind of strange he’s suddenly included in the PSA, but I believe it was to tie in with the World Series that’s currently underway.
With the amount of anticipation for Modern Warfare 2, I don’t think this was a smart move on the part of Infinity Ward. Yes, we all hate random grenades. If you think about it though, aren’t all grenades that kill you random to the one getting killed? You never expect them, but then when you hear it, you’re for the most part surprised.
What are your thoughts? You think this trailer was over-the-top, or do you think it’s just right for Modern Warfare 2?
As much as I enjoy a good round of multiplayer mode, I am an old-school gamer at heart. With that said, I grew up playing games along with my brothers and majority of the games that came out in the 80s were co-op. There’s just something about working together with family and friends that give me a much more richer multiplayer experience than just shooting the hell out of them.
Infinity Ward realized how important co-op play is becoming and is introducing a new mode called ‘Spec-Ops’. Spec-Ops is a mode that is completely apart from the single-player campaign. You and your buddies work together to complete different objectives across multiple maps. The objectives vary from simply clearing out a map of enemies, to getting down a snowy mountain the quickest on your snowmobile. Players can even change individual difficulty settings, so no longer will men have to play on casual mode while their girlfriend holds the controller upside down screaming “HOW DO I MAKE THAT MAN DEAD?!”
Out goes the old. In comes the new. This 250GB Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 Limited Edition Console was revealed at an exclusive preview event in Los Angeles where guests were the first to experience “Modern Warfare 2” multiplayer gameplay on Xbox LIVE. It will hit store shelves on November 10th, 2009.
Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling shared some new footage today that shows off Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s capture the flag mode called ‘Flag Runner’. The action is quick and frantic as one team attempts to capture the enemy flag.
The Conduit who? Looks like the FPS game is going to completely change for the Wii this holiday season as Activision announced this morning that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is making it’s way to the Nintendo Wii.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be a port of Infinity Ward’s 2007 Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. No other information was given besides the fact that it’s going to be released on the Nintendo Wii. As soon as we hear more regarding this title, we’ll be sure to let you all know. Now just keep your fingers crossed there will be multiplayer and it won’t require friend codes.
Infinity Ward released a first look at the multiplayer mayhem we could expect when Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is released this fall. In the video that was released, we learn that players will now be able to customize their kill streaks. If you’ve played either Call of Duty: Modern Warfare or Call of Duty: World at War, you’ll know that the kill streaks were pretty much decided for you.
Judging by the screen that pops up during the video, it seems there will be a total of 15 unlockable kill streak perks. As the game is still currently in production, that number could possibly change. The video, which can be found after the break, focuses on the AC130 kill streak perk.
Simply Amazing. Modern Warfare 2’s boxart has been revealed by Robert Bowling via twitter with a quote of “Just received the first Modern Warfare 2 boxes straight off the press. “Shit just got real.” #MW2. Now I’m surprised to see the title of Call of Duty, since I thought they were going exclusively with ‘Modern Warfare 2′, just goes to show you that Infinity Ward isn’t calling the shots.
After a quick scare, Destructiod showed a mysterious survey sent from Activision insinuating a monthly fee would be a possibility for Modern warfare 2.
. Now you may ask yourself, “I have both an Xbox 360 and a PlayStation 3. What system should I buy it for?” Looking at the screenshots may make or break your decision.
