No seriously, whining about Marty when it was so easy to evade, or even exploit by picking up the nade and tossing it at an enemy (preferably a friend so that they can whine instead), P90 when those pesky little rats would bunny hop like a retarded rabbit getting chased by a hye ... [pew pew pew]
The only real thing that ruined multiplayer was BAD map designs resulting in "unwanted" spawn rapeage.
Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease let this work well.
COD4 was a-clamourin' for co-op at some points, so a new co-op mode which is separate from the main mode would be excellent, as it would be a new experience from single-player. I hope that at least one of the co-op levels allows one player to go in all guns blazing while the other uses the distraction to sneak around.

Modern Warfare 2 will sport co-op missions, open-ended levels, and the return of Soap MacTavish, according to details revealed in the latest issue of Game Informer.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare set a new precedent for on-rails storytelling in games - who could forget when the nuke goes off at the end of "<a href=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2S3N0uSSho>Shock and Awe" or when that helicopter crashed in "All Ghillied Up [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwGV9Nl4RjE]," crippling your commanding officer and forcing you to carry him and defend him from enemy troops with no more than a sniper rifle and some mines.
Modern Warfare 2, however, seems to be taking a slightly different approach to the design of its missions. According to the new issue of Game Informer (received and scanned by some lucky GiantBomb [http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/general-discussion/30/modern-warfare-2-info-imageshack-links/242063/#1] user), missions won't play out in such a linear fashion. Instead, the gameplay is "wide open and has a lot of variety," with the example given of a mission where the player is tasked with destroying an enemy camp's fuel supply. A radar-like device on his weapon makes stealth an option, but dodging vehicles and staying hidden requires good reflexes. On the other hand, going in guns blazing means that there'll be fewer bad guys to contend with later on in the mission.
While the gameplay is "open," the story, says Infinity Ward, will be "on rails" in typical Call of Duty fashion. Soap MacTavish, one of the player characters in COD4, returns as a "grizzled NPC vet," probably playing the role that Captain Price did in the last game. The events of the story follow the COD4's, with a new Russian terrorist/warlord threatening the safety of the world. No word on whether Price is still alive, but he better be.
Being that the "on rails" story seems to be very much focused on you, co-op will not be an option in campaign. Instead, Modern Warfare 2 will feature a separate mode with co-op missions that are supposedly in the spirit of the airplane mission [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbYXV0UivpM] that was the action-packed epilogue of COD4.
Finally, the campaign's reportedly longer than COD4, which was a short (albeit sweet) ride. Other complaints that Infinity Ward is addressing with the game include fixing infinite enemy respawns in campaign and adding a "live patching" system for updating the game without requiring annoying downloads.
More info and pretty screenshots are available in the upcoming issue [http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Story/200905/N09.0511.1318.40671.htm] of Game Informer.

I'm more excited than ever to be receiving my Game Informer now! Better come soon! (looks at calender.)Shit, It's gonna be a while before I get it. =' [
I don't believe they'll actually deliver the open levels thing. They claimed that's what CoD2 featured ("If given objective A and B, you don't have to do A first. You could opt to do B first!") but that was bull, because it wasn't like you could opt not to fight or whatever. Same thing in CoD4; sure, you could take the left way or the center way or the right way, but it didn't really matter which way you took. This'll probably be pretty much the same thing. There'll be enough flexibility that IW can be like "look, we let you do that" but not enough that you could compare it to Far Cry.
And that's not a bad thing. I think it's wonderful that IW is able to make such great games while maintaining the old FPS rail technique.

So he can be alive, it's just not very likely... my god he better have survived.seamusotorain said:Sometimes in CPR, one quick, violent blow can start everything moving again. Sure, you may crack a rib, but it can bring 'em roundAdjectiveAnimal said:

The Call of Duty tag has been dropped from Modern Warfare 2 a little while ago, when Activision realized that the CoD name couldn't push copies as well as the MW name. Modern Warfare is its own franchise now.

Let's get a few things straight here for everyone.
Number 1: The same team does not make all of the Call of Duty games. COD1, the expansions to 1, and COD2 were made by Infinity Ward (and they were awesome). COD3 was made by Treyarch and was a sin against humanity. COD4 was made by Infinity Ward. COD5, Treyarch. Are you noticing a pattern?
That's right. Infinity Ward makes good games, and Treyarch does not. So that's dealt with. Now you know.
Second: Modern Warfare 2 is a sequel to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. That is right. You are correct. However! Infinity Ward and some higher ups in the company have realized and indeed even publicly stated that yes, we must be getting tired of World War II games. That's why Modern Warfare 2 is not going to be called COD:MW2 - because when people hear Call of Duty, they think of Stalingrad and Berlin.

Russian terrorist? What the hell?
Still, this game sounds promising; CoD 4 was certainly a great game.

great, same character, same mission structure, same map types, same online.... wtf is new?
(and don't say co-op, you can get that anywhere)
why would anyone buy this? they might as well release new dlc for COD4 instead and you would get the same experience.
I am sick and tired of these games, they are all copy-pastes of the previous ones, not to mention that realism gets in the way of the fun.

Well, that was not Infinity Ward.Pr0 InSaNiTy said:

Different guy, maybe related. I mean, considering that he was a Lieutenant in the flashback, and the Price in the earlier games was a Captain, it must be a different guy, probably an Expy of one of the creators.zoozilla said:
Different character (although the old one is your mentor), more open mission structure, maps and online not addressed. You're jumping to conclusions.Gmano said:
