Removal of the M60 from list
Since the M60 was only shown in a flashback to CoD4, I will remove it from the list. If you disagree, do not re-add it to the list, just say so right here. Imrlybord7 00:17, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

This would be the correct move if the "Flashback" seen in the trailer is a copy of the scene from CoD4, but if its a remake of the scene in CoD4 (which is very, very unlikely) then it should be left on the list as possible. But we dont have any way of knowing which is which so ill go with the most likely one, so i guess until we see more footage, keep it off the list. --CptJackHouse 07:58, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

I actually think I saw it on the kill ticker for the MW2 multiplayer video. I have a picture on Archive 3 near the bottom, I think.

Subtitile 36.

That's the M240. And the trailer scene was not a remake, it was a copy. You could tell by the graphics. Imrlybord7 05:28, 12 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh ok, thanks for clearing that up. Str Devil53 11:03, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Title
I see it's changed. Who moved it???? CoD4 08:27, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Rs4life07 did. Thanks a lot!!

Prestige sold out in Australia.
I was talking to some of my mates at EB Games and they have said that all orders have been filled up.

Anyone else see this happening? Outlaw 2-5 10:26, 11 August 2009 (UTC)


 * As the ONLY store in the UK selling the Prestige Edition is HMV, I'm pretty sure they have sold out.

Yeah thats comfirmed. HMV is officialy filled up with orders.--Slacky!!! 16:50, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Zombie Mode
I think that Infinity Ward is trying to keep it quiet but I think they are going to continue the Zombie mode into MW2. And there is real reason for this rumour. --DrRichtofen 19:24, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Why do you say that? Darkman 4 19:25, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, see on the Article page, watch the teaser trailer video very carefully. And if you can't find it then I'll upload a pic and post it (and tell you the time it appears). --DrRichtofen 19:28, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd like to see the picture. Darkman 4 19:52, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * never mind. I haven't played MW before (started on waw) so I didn't know about the teddy in it. Well it's in the trailer and I assosiated it with the zombies and the mystery box. Oh well, we can live in hope. --DrRichtofen 19:56, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * That teddy bear model has been in the CoD series since CoD2. :O Darkman 4 20:06, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * HA! Ignorance! The teddy bear has been an ominous easter egg from "da" BEGINNING. I have in game proof, if you want to get all sorts of crazy. Or you could look at the page. 20:16, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

I heavily doubt there will be a Zombie Mode. Infinity Ward has nothing to do with Treyarch. Str Devil53 20:09, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

I think Special Forces will suffice. Sounds more appealing to me and seems to be more dynamic than shooting limitless waves of zombies. Yes, Nazi Zombies was pretty fun, but how many zombie games are already out there? Left 4 Dead, Resident Evil, and so on. IGN has a pretty good article about zombies in games; you may want to check that out. Besides, do you really want Infinity Ward copying Treyarch? Chief z 01:12, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Maybe there will be a similar mode where you hold out against terrorists. Or like the firefight mode in Halo 3: ODST. Teh lolz! BPL  00:58, 15 August 2009 (UTC)


 * maybe, because if you look at the DS version apparently there will be some kind of survival mode but im not sure of a source --Cpt Jack House 12:01, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

More Teams
Yesterday I read from the Official PlayStation Magazine:Australia That when Playing the demo, said Vince Zampella said there would be SAS,Rangers,CIA,and Delta Force. Kevinsux909 04:52, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

...Thank you so much. 04:58, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

By CIA you mean the SAD (special activities division)? Now that's new. OmgHAX! 13:22, 12 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Based on the reveal trailer, I think it's SOG (Special Operations Group), which is part of SAD.Chief z 05:43, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Now we know the good guys (supposedly); now the question is, who are we fighting (beside Ultranationalists)?   Maj.Gage   Talk

. 15:30, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Only other faction we know of are some thugs from Rio (likely the local gangs) and possibly some kind of Taliban OpFor group in Afghanistan. I'm assuming the bad guys in the Airport and Khazakstan are Ultranationalists. OmgHAX! 01:17, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

GameInformer's article said you would be in the Afghan desert (although they DID mistake Kazakhstan in the first level for Russia, so...), and the guys in Rio are the militia. 02:29, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Numerous sources (including 402) have said that Afghanistan, as opposed to Unspecifiedistan, will be a setting in the game. Imrlybord7 23:48, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Lol, unspecifiedistan. I doubt they will draw parallels to the war in Afghanistan, though, because if they did, people would boycott the game.

Nah, that level's looking more like the opening of Iron man. How sick would that be, bashing ultranationalists in a powered armor suit? OmgHAX! 00:32, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Ha! Unspecifiedistan, that's rich. Reminds me of Lazlow in GTA4: "Jackfuckingstan or wherever the hell you came from." But yeah, I believe that Danish article said that you'd be in caves in Afghanistan; in fact, they did use Iron Man as a comparison. It's like Iron Man and Rambo 3 combined. Chief z 05:43, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Price is Back?
I was reading the Game Over article and it says that the June GameInformer states Captain Price survives and returns to MW2 as a Colonel no less. The same thing appears on Price's page as well. The revision history shows these edits were made by unregistered and new users. I don't recall reading anything like that, and I lost my copy so I can't confirm it. I'm sure we would have caught that back then. Can somebody look it up and if it's wrong, please change those pages. Chief z 15:31, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

I still have the copy, I would remember something like that. But I'll double check, if it's not gone in a few minutes, then I confirmed it. 15:38, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I find it hard to believe that we missed info as big as Price's fate; I think somebody was getting too excited reading the article and decided to post info without really thinking about it. Chief z 16:06, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

The GameInformer article only stated that SOAP came back as a CAPTAIN. Imrlybord7 00:01, 13 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Price was mentioned however they made the mistake of calling him Sgt. Price --CptJackHouse 08:10, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I thought they just got it backwards, and then the footage came out, and I was like "How did he go from sergeant to that high of a rank in, what, 4 years or something?" 14:33, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

I hope price comes back, but i'm not really sure how much I trust Game Informer's word if they didnt even get his rank right. (I mean, come on, it was the same across THREE games, how hard can it be to get it right?) WouldYouKindly 14:39, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

P90
Earlier i read a xbox 360 magazine with some stuff about modern warfare 2 and it said that the p90 will not return. does anyone actually have any proof about the p90 bieng in the game, because i diddnt see it in any of the videos. im wondering this because the p90 is my favourite gun.(Steven le 00:45, 13 August 2009 (UTC))

Here's the first video I saw the P90 in. That magazine might have had information from that bad rumor about a lot of weapons being cut like the G3 that we know will be in. OmgHAX! 01:09, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know Steven le 01:12, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

That article was fake. Our weapon list is the most trustworthy source on the net. Literally. Imrlybord7 03:46, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Wow. From a technical standpoint, a wiki, which is a mass of information controlled only by the people who change it, being the most trustworthy source for that information on the net, is pretty pathetic. You'd expect the CoD website, but, no, that's about as navigable as a moose' intestines. 04:26, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

It is not the duty of Infinity Ward to keep a list of weapons that have been seen or mentioned. And why shouldn't we be the most reliable? I wrote most of the list and there are only a few other contributors, and every weapon on the list has been confirmed by numerous people with pics included. Imrlybord7 18:00, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

No, I think it's great, it's just, from a purely intellectual standpoint, a wiki wouldn't be the first choice for reliable info on things like this. 03:15, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, this wiki IS one of the better-kept wikis right now (seriously, ever been to the GTA wiki? it's a real mess) WouldYouKindly 03:30, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

although not confirmed i thought i should show this: http://www.xboxic.com/news/5551 --CptJackHouse 08:09, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

I have seen other stuff like this, but this article did a better job in terms of providing some details. Take it as probably true, but don't get your hopes up too high. Imrlybord7 18:02, 13 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I actually have trouble understanding that article, because it doesn't specify countries this beta will be available in. Will it be available in the UK? With retailers like GAME and HMV emailing pre-order customers??

If this article IS correct then we should find out sometime between the 17th and 19th Exactly when and where the beta will be coming. but this could be fake --Cpt Jack House 12:43, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh, you meant LONG. I know how to interpret the number, it's just, you we're pretty vague. Well, if they say so, then believe it? 02:36, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Sorry if I was confusing. Anyway, I changed it, but Maj. Gage promptly changed it back. SaintofLosAngelesXD(m) 02:41, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Well Gage isn't an admin, so his word isn't final. If you need to, cite your source, and change it back, because you have proof. 02:46, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Craig Fairbrass returning for voicework in Modern Warfare 2?
So on Twitter about an hour ago, fourzerotwo just posted:

"http://twitpic.com/dwwqd - Holy hell. Check out the prototype of our life size Ghost statue! I'm so ordering extras to freak out my neighbor"

Pretty impressive, but what caught my eye was OPM_UK's 'retweet' not long after:

"RT @fourzerotwo: http://twitpic.com/dwwqd Check out our Ghost statue!. (The character voiced by COD4's Gaz) http://bit.ly/1dhdYB"

I don't know how accurate IMDB is when it comes to video games, so has this voice artist been verified? Moozipan Cheese 00:52, 15 August 2009 (UTC)


 * What do you mean by verified? I seriously doubt imdb would make up this kind of stuff; they're 100% accurate and if you need a good example, look up John DiMaggio. Anyhow, Ghost can be seen in the reveal trailer (2:02) at 1:17. Like I said before, my new favorite character behind MacMillan. Chief z 02:22, 15 August 2009 (UTC)


 * IMBD is one of the most unreliable sources on the net. They add something as soon as there is a rumor about it. It's so bad the Wikipedia does not even allow IMDB as a reference. -- 02:26, 15 August 2009 (UTC)


 * OK, maybe I jumped the gun a little. But before a huge argument breaks out, all I wanted to know is what Moozipan meant by "verified." Craig Fairbrass is a veteran actor going back as far as the 80's, not some unheard-of voice actor. If he means "Was he officially confirmed" then I can understand. I'm just frustrated because all evidence points to Fairbrass's return and people are still debating if he is or not. Maybe it's just me. Chief z 04:51, 15 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, sorry. By "verified" I did mean to ask if Craig had been officially confirmed by Infinity Ward to be voicing Ghost in Modern Warfare 2. I have no idea how IMDB works as a site. Is it like a wiki where anyone can edit? Anyway, ModernWarfare24/7 is now reporting the same thing, but they didn't give a source either, so I was just wondering if this has been confirmed yet, and by who? Moozipan Cheese 21:45, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

I think the fact that Bowling said it means that there should be no more arguements about this. I like his voice, but i think its an odd choice, why use the same voice actor twice on different characters... it would seem impossible that this guy is Gaz, but you never know. --Cpt Jack House 11:51, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Some people believe that based on the name "Ghost" (back from the dead) and the fact that he wears a skull balaclava (shot in the face), he might be Gaz. No, they do not mean that Gaz came back from the dead, they mean he may have survived something that is usually not survivable, hence earning him the nickname "Ghost." Imrlybord7 19:06, 15 August 2009 (UTC)


 * never said he was back i just said it was odd they would use the same guy twice --Cpt Jack House 20:59, 15 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I find the theories of Ghost being Gaz ridiculous, although I can understand why people think that. I'm sure he got executed at point black in the ending. But then again, Craig being cast is a more than a little odd. If Infinity Ward are bringing him back, they have some 'splainin' to do. And I'll still end up raising a doubtful eyebrow. Moozipan Cheese 21:45, 15 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Fairbass probably just expressed an interest in working with IW again, but since Gaz was dead, Fairbass had to assume the voice of a new character (enter Ghost). Of anyone who could have survived CoD4's final mission and reappear in MW2 (besides Soap), I would have picked Price; Gaz got a bullet to the head, Price appears to have just passed out from his wounds. If Gaz did survive and become Ghost, I'd have to question the integrity of IW's story writers. If a headshot can't kill someone, that kind of takes away from the story's plausibility. CoD4 was a lot like an action movie, but was grounded to enough to have the air of a realistic scenario, not a movie. -- Commdor (Talk) 00:20, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Maybe he was shot in the face and not in the brain. Craig fairbrass was actually in a film once where he survived a bullet to the face, but he only had like half a jaw.   Critchell   Talk 13:46, 16 August 2009 (UTC)


 * im not entirely sure but i think he was shot in the top of the head, i cant really remember though --Cpt Jack House 14:13, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

I highly doubt that Gaz will be returning, but I'm going to put this out there anyway... Maybe Gaz did survive and become ghost, but because his face is all messed up from the bullet, his wears that ski mask all the time. But all in all, I doubt that Ghost is Gaz.EN-17 16:50, 16 August 2009 (UTC)


 * En-17 could be absolutely correct. Why would Infinity ward want to confuse players by including a character with the same voice as Gaz... when he isn't actually Gaz...


 * Meh, IMO that theory sounds WAY too "Metal Gear Solid" for something IW would do. WouldYouKindly 17:41, 16 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Fairbrass doesn't necessarily have to use his "Gaz voice." I'm sure he can change it up, like using a Cockney accent or something. Chief z 01:24, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

...that's the accent he uses for Gaz, everyone else, and himself...you mean NOT use his Cockney accent? Because that would be interesting. 01:30, 17 August 2009 (UTC)


 * If it's Cockney then it's certainly subdued, at least to me (could be all those years in the military). When I think Cockney I think of the Merchant from RE4 or Eliza from "Pygmalion." But like I said, he could switch it up. Chief z 05:16, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Could it be that he is voicing the SAS multiplayer team? I believe he was the person who did it last time, right? Tomhoppus 04:56, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Golden
Ant news on whether or not golden guns are gonna be back in it? --LoneMerc101 19:14, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Not yet, but I'd count on it. 19:16, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

i agree it is very likely --Cpt Jack House 20:57, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, most likely, I would imagine. Hopefully on all guns this time too. Moozipan Cheese 21:45, 15 August 2009 (UTC)


 * i hope so, in CoD4 i only used the guns with golden camo just so i can show off, even though i prefer other weapons sometimes, so lets hope its available for all of them. --Cpt Jack House 14:12, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

I hate using the AK-47, but that's the golden gun in that class. It would be great if you needed like 500 headshots on any weapon to get golden camo for it.

G36
I don't remember seeing any media supporting the G36's inclusion. Unless someone has proof, I'm taking it off the list. OmgHAX! 00:34, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

It was in that Spanish article. 98.236.91.166 00:53, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

would you happen to have some kind of proof or link? --Cpt Jack House 01:37, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

it is also in the prestige unboxing video when he shows the art book and says something about the weapons if you pause it while the art book is open to gun pics, there is a machine gun variant of the G36 (you can tell by classic g36 carrying handle/scope) probably MG36 so maybe it should be moved to LMG Ferretboy54 02:24, 16 August 2009 (UTC)


 * i thought it already was in the LMG section, was it removed? --Cpt Jack House 13:14, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I know what he's talking about. That was an MG4, not a G36. Also the spanish article doesn't count because there was no ingame screenshots. OmgHAX! 16:42, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, it was an MG4 with the G36 optics (Zeiss something-or-other). No variant of the G36 has been confirmed, or even has enough evidence to be put down as "highly probable." Imrlybord7 17:42, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

More Rumors
http://www.gamersguidetolife.com/2009/08/fansite-reveals-current-modern-warfare.html i dont know what to make of this, most of it is stuff we already have on the the list, the rest is stuff that is unconfirmable? but i thought id put it up just to check --Cpt Jack House 20:11, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

To be frank, they could have just copied our list here. Believe me, don't regard that. Our list is possibly the most reliable list on the web.


 * im very aware of that, i just thought id bring this up --Cpt Jack House 21:02, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

The only thing I'm getting concerned about is that maybe the IMBEL is in the game alongside the FAL. I don't know. /shrug Imrlybord7 08:05, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

I think it's best to not worry about the IMBEL/FAL rumors until some solid info comes along. Chief z 08:56, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Are those guys saying that that's the final weapon roster? Because I find it very hard to believe there's only two snipers, no bolt-actions or .50cal rifles. As for the IMBEL/FAL thing, it makes no sense because the FAL is the original, people only speculated the IMBEL's inclusion. OmgHAX! 20:09, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

What? Of course not. There's going to be, like, 400 more weapons on the list when the game comes out, so about 200 should be added in the near future. 20:36, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

400 weapons? I don't think so. I think the maximum weapons that will be added in the future will be 10.   Maj.Gage   Talk

AUG Scope
Under the Attachments section is listed the AUG scope. Now I don't know if I missed something, but is there any difference with the AUG scope other than cosmetics? Or is it because we don't know if there is a difference that we have it listed. It's not some big problem with me, I'd just like a little clarification of why it's listed. Chief z 08:52, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

I think there's a difference between an AUG scope and a normal scope because a normal Steyr AUG has no iron sights, just a scope. A normal scope in multiplayer can just be on bolt action rifles (compareing to CoD: 4).   Maj.Gage   Talk

. 16:55, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

I see. It's just that the article makes it seem like you can put the AUG scope on another gun, say the M4 for example. I did some research and the closest thing I found to the AUG reticule are AUG airsofts; I doubt the accuracy of the gun, but the AUG reticule is a standard crosshair but with a ghost ring where the crosshairs meet. Chief z 02:10, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Skorpion + Ridable Vehicles
IGN just posted their take on a hands-on demo for Modern Warfare Mobilized. Says the Skorpion is back and there was a mission where you use an M1 Abrams, a la World at War. I know the DS version is made by a different developer, but I'm just going to put the Skorpion on the list as Highly Probable. Chief z 01:42, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

What? Modern Warfare Mobilized has next to nothing to do with MW2. I'm sorry, but that isn't even close to being legitimate evidence. Imrlybord7 03:23, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm just basing it on the fact that Mobilized includes some new weapons from MW2 like the AA12 and M240 and many of the ones from CoD4 console version. Yes, it's not the greatest justification, but I do recall reading something that somebody at IW (Zampella, Bowling, or whoever) said that most of the weapons would return. But I guess we will find out in the future. I'll leave it off because you've made it clear how you feel about the weapon list. Chief z 10:56, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Comic book series
Bowling revealed it on Twitter. The six-issue series will be called Modern Warfare 2: Ghost (the CoD prefix doesn't appear included), and will follow the backstory of the character Ghost.
