Sony’s PSN series of The Tester has been live since February 18th and I can’t believe I missed this piece of internet gold. While I didn’t realize this song had anything to do with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 until Luger removed that stupid yellow trucker hat off her head and some lyrics about dropping bombs. This video screams “obnoxious” and the fact that Luger is a 3 doesn’t help her cause.
The developers behind the Modern Warfare series may have made their last Call of Duty franchised FPS. Infinity Ward has told a source at video game website, VG247, that it would like to work on “something completely new.” Whether that “something” is in the same genre as a First Person Shooter, we don’t know yet. Modern Warfare 3 looks like it may not happen…
With most popular online multiplayer games, there are going to be some secrets that most people aren’t aware of. For example: Did you know you could blow up a vehicle just by jumping on it? Or possibly being able to use a riot shield to save yourself from a falling supply crate?
Defend The House put together two great videos showcasing some popular Modern Warfare 2 myths. Who knows if these “myths” will ever be fixed with a patch one day, but for now, enjoy all of the things you could possibly do right now in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
Everyone knows multiplayer is the bread and butter of the Call of Duty’s franchise. So naturally, there’s a good reason why they’ve been using the same engine since Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Reliable gameplay. But this time Infinity Ward stepped up to the plate and brought their “A” game with Modern Warfare 2 and of course bettered a great game. This fast paced First Person Shooter is the continuation of COD4 with upgraded lighting, textures and visuals. The easier to navigate menu shows you one of three gametype choices and proves it’s not all just about multiplayer anymore. Special Ops, Campaign and Multiplayer modes all provide a different slice of MW2. In our first ever group review, Aaron Mazza, Carlos Macias and I will break down Special Ops, Campaign and Multiplayer mode respectively. We know the term “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” but did Infinity Ward and Activision raise the bar?
If you’re like me, you’ve been spending an insane amount of time playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 since its release. But, how many of you out there have ever played the original Call of Duty? You’re in luck because the game that started it all is going to be released on the PlayStation Network & Xbox LIVE Arcade this week!
Call of Duty: Classic is a port of Infinity Ward’s 2003 hit, Call of Duty. Expect the game to go live on the Xbox LIVE Arcade on 12/2/09 for 1200 MS Points and on the Playstation Network on 12/3/09 for $14.99.
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.
. 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.
