This past week MTV talked with Blizzard/Activision, and it's been revealed that Modern Warfare 2 is in the works, and due sometime out this fall 2009.

It'll be dev'd by infinity ward.


What I found strange was that CoD6 was to be a "futuristic shooter," yet it seems it's more...modern warfare.

I don't have a problem with this necessarily, but I found it slightly confusing. Hopefully their gun variety will go up, lot of cool guns in CoD4, but nothing too out of the ordinary.

My guess is that more futuristic equipment might get shown off, like the MH-60 Knighthawk (basically a blackhawk, so maybe not), an MV-22 Osprey, F-35, Zulu Cobra, that kinda stuff.

But besides that, no idea.

Awesome! I originally played the COD4 campaign, enjoyed it a lot. Then played MP for a while. I recently started playing it again and I'm hooked on the campaign. I've played some of my favorite missions 3 or more times! In fact I wish the game had 2x as many missions!

You may be right, they might keep it modern but have the latest high tech in there, aircraft like you mentioned. Maybe as far as new firearms, they might have something like the HK416 or the SCARs.

I want it to be possible to use the javelin in multiplayer. And I want a perk that lets you put 2 attachments on the primary weapon,

That'd be nice in theory.

I wish they'd address the nade whoring complaints, but luckily I am playing the PC version where I haven't encountered too much of that.


I guess like duragezic said, I essentially want modern firearms like the HK416 and the SCARs.

I wish they put in the FN Fal as well. I mean why the hell was the final unlockable assault rifle the MP44? Did anyone ever use that firearm officially after the fall of Berlin?


They should have had the FN Fal instead, with full auto as an option, to be like the ultimate battle rifle (essentially the G3/M14 with full auto).

It would be nice if they would get rid of martyrdom, last stand, and the grenade launcher. Or at least make it possible for a server to block the use of them.

I agree, it would be nice to have 2 attachments. I want the red dot sight and a silencer. I love the UAV jammer and a silencer. It works great, as long as you stay away from your teammates. (I play team deathmatch)

the time frame is right.should be next november for the newest cod game.

I would like to be able to use a silencer and a red dot at the same time on the same weapon.I just picked up cod waw yesterday and the story is great.I have yet to play the MP since I want to beat the SP so I can shoot some zombies

Umm....we pretty much knew this was coming out right around the time Call of Duty 4 announced that it was going to be set in modern times.

I hope there's some continuity to the story, I think that's definitely one plus about CoD4, the story was very linear, but VERY cintematic, and that's not bad at all considering CoD isn't setting itself up as anything particularly special.

But here's my hope of new firearms:

FN FAL (in one form or another)
HK416
FN SCAR
Barrett 468

French FAMAS
British L85A1
Aussie Steyer
AK-103

And some more weapons from Battlefield Bad Company. (I throw that game in because the weapon porn in that game is truly inspiring).

I think two attachments on one weapon is too much. You know that everyone wants the red dot sight with the silencer. I like how it is balanced now. I love using the silencer and UAV jammer. I like how they make you use iron sights. In most games, everyone simply equips the scopes. Here, they have a nice tradeoff. With guns that have good iron sights like the G3, I don't miss the red dot much.

Also, why in the hell do they not have fire mode switching?? That to me is one thing that would take nothing to implement, but would be there for players who want it. Why is the G3 auto in singleplayer? That weapon is only semi-auto IIRC (it is in MP).


But either way, those are minor issues, I'm really looking forward to this!

I use an AK right now, and I scorn the use of red scopes. Most pointless things on an AK, it's just amazing fun tearing through people with iron sights.

I disagree though, I think you should be able to have whatever you want. Makes it cooler that way. Forget balance, the game is so out of balance, it doesn't matter.

What I don't like is this whole "feed you a carrot" bull shit thats perpetrating in games right now. Everything in MP should be available from the start, the camo, the guns, everything.

If they feel they have to lure you to play their game using retarded carrots strategies, they should work on their fucking game.

OOOOH yeah. The would = cool factor x 1000000.

Magnums. I think the military still has revolvers--they're not mainstream, but if the secret service wants the job to look less than professional, I could see revolvers being used.

i wonder if captain price make an appearance? personally i think he will

the g3 is semi automatic in mp because it has a really high rate of fire and is very accurate, but they could have added sway like they did with the m4 to even things out. idk

mw2 should be interesting because (hopefully) it'll have stiff competition from operation flashpoint 2, which looks very promising

While Im kinda dissapointed that they didn't do a Vietnam game for part 6, I am glad to go back to modern warfare. I like W@W for multiplayer, however the single player was like.... just get it over with already.

Yes, definitely. However, I still think we need an automatic battle rifle. :D

Cyphilis: I am also disapointed, but I don't see CoD ever really getting into the whole Vietnam thing without seriously altering their gameplay, which as of right now is a major cash cow. I'd give it two more titles before they work on it.

Probably too hard to code for all the console kiddies. They'd probably switch to full auto anyway.
