Modern Warfare 2 - First Multiplayer Gameplay Video

One of the killstreak perks you can unlock is to be the gunner of an AC130. It shows some general multiplayer gameplay, what it looks like to suffer from someone with the AC130 perk, then the view from someone who is using it (basically the black and white thermal image view from COD4 single player).

Also looks like there are sticky grenades (Semtex).
 
Hot damn, that's awesome. Looks like they have some lock on missiles to shoot down the planes/copters now. That's badass

Yeah, it looks like the AC130 can deploy countermeasures as well.
 
So the person with the kill streak can actually control the gunship during gameplay? It showed about a second of the actual view from the gunship and it looked like someone was controlling it, but I wonder what happens to your person on the ground when/if you're controlling the gunship.
 
I guess I'm one of the few here that doesn't care about this game. CoD4 was just a nade spam fest, CoDWaW was just a reskinned CoD4 and I'm sure this will be the same as the last two so I'll probably get it but when it's a greatest hit bargain bin title.

I think that's what the laptop at the beginning of the video is for. Maybe.

Try it on PC when you can choose the server and play with fewer people. Makes the game much more fun.

I know people complain about the nades a lot, but I've never seen this kind of thing while playing on my 360. If anything I'd think the PC version would be worse with more players in the same map. CoD W@W wasn't put out by the same people so it's not fair to compare them all. This is the true sequel to CoD4 (which is why it's called modern warfare 2) and will bring more improvements instead of just cloning CoD4 into a WWII era.
 
Ya, I never understood the complaints about grenades in CoD4. Hell, I'd complain about it being a bullet spam fest. I got killed by bullets WAY more than nades. 😛
 
When I first started playing Call of duty 4 i thought that when you got a 7 kill streak you would get to control the helicopter, I was somewhat disappointed when I finally got 7 kills in a row.....
 
Never had problem with nades either. I think nades are are valid/tactical measure. And spamming of them was HARDLY an issue. I'm more excited about this game than I am life itself.
 
That seems like a really cool idea. They should let you control the chopper too, if it still if the 7 kill reward. That way you actually earn the kills.

And they thought to balance it out with AA weapons. Although I bet no one will ever use them because it takes up a slot in your kit that could be used for something more practical.

Did you play on PC or on a console? From what i remember from playing them both was that the PC version was much more "Spammy" and faster due to more people in the same sized maps etc. So with that many people 'nade spamming worked cause there wasn't a whole lot of space. That's why I preferred the console version, seemed slower, less spammy etc with less people on the maps. And on the PC you can always choose smaller servers, limited nade rules and whatnot.

i agree - 6v6/7v7 is probably the best
this is one thing that makes the console version better than the pc version (however, the custom maps definitely are a bonus to the pc version)

mw2 multiplayer looks AWESOME
 
Just saw this video this morning... WOW. Can. Not. Wait.

That's awesome they took gamers' advice over extending killsteak bonuses AND incorporated the AC-130 gunship. But customizable killstreak perks? GENIUS.

He was probably complaining about the nade spam that occurs at the beginning of the match. People who know the maps really well can take advantage of that knowledge by placing grenades at key choke points in the beginning. There are some maps where I can rack up a few kills right out of the gate without even firing my gun.

But beyond that, the "spam" isn't bad at all, and like you said, I'm killed by bullets far more often than I am by grenades.

The scenery looked fantastic, too... I just hope IW doesn't take a page out of Treyarch's mapmaking guide and create a bunch of huge maps without any flow. COD4 was a game of great strategy, but the map design of WaW destroyed that.
