This information is very wrong.

Removed inaccuracy from Trivia View my Pirate Page 
In the trivia section, it mentioned the following:


 * This game seems to be opposite of CoD 4 because in CoD 4, the American forces died, but in this game, most of the "British" (Ghost and Roach) die and the Americans survive.

This is wrong, at the moment the only known survivors are Price and Soap, both of which are British. I have removed this because of it. Smuff 19:58, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Since I can't edit the page, it's guarded, not gaurded. 72.91.94.69 03:27, August 3, 2010 (UTC)u said to survive the carpet bomb deploy green flares over the white house this is wrong if u listen after they say blank minutes to weapon release they say to deploy green flares over the building your in if your squad is still battle ready72.91.94.69 03:27, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

Modern Warfare 2 Relese Date
If I am not mistake Modern Warfare 2 was relesed on November 11th 2009 in the United States of America and not the listed November 10th 2009. Not sure about the rest of the world but I am almost positive it was relesed on this date in America.

Not so, I have a friend in America and he got his copy on the 10th of November, he didn't pre-order it. Doc.Richtofen 18:54, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

It was November 10th. I know because I bought it then!

I was at the midnight launch. How hard is it to remember 11.10.09???? Imrlybord7 19:48, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Some edits that need doing
This DeathStreak Was Meant To Be In Modern Warfare 2,It Was Cut And Scrapped Out From The Game At The Last Second And Version. Nothing is really known about Dead Man's Hand except it was a planned deathstreak. It is possible to get this deathstreak on the PC By Changing the death streak files.

Seriously, this is just a simple example but there are way too many capitals in some of the sentences.

-Zamasee

Also, for the callsigns/emblems page, the 10th prestige spinning logo is marked as "Unconfirmed" when it should say unlock this by completing all challenges.

-DXAXNXNXY

your information on intel is incorrect, on the level wolverines, you have:

"12. Inside the Burger Town, on the floor; Near a corpse"

its actually in the bank under a sign that says online banking
 * 1) ---# tomo #---#

levels for killstreaks
The section on killstreaks could use a note about which levels unlock a new killstreak award.

I was hunting around with Google and found a single post in another forum with this list:

10, 15, 23, 35, 47, 51, 56, 59, 63, 66, 68, 69

but I also found other forum posts that conflict with this list.

Surely, someone must have been paying attention as they leveled through.

I guess I'm also assuming that the list would be the same for prestige.

I just got lvl 51 and got a killstreak unlock, so 51 is right

its right...

Coolest Levels in the Game
My favorite level would probably be "The Only Easy Day Was... Yesterday" or "Contingency"

Please add other opinions.

i really like the whiskey hotel and the first mission.

M4A1 + UMP45 noises
When you put a holographic sight on a UMP45, it sounds really different from if you just have no attachments on it. WHY??? Also the M4A1 Assualt Rifle you use on S.S.S.D. to shoot down the targets, sounds completely different to the one that you use online. WHY??? Intervention as well.

Unofficial FAQ
Considering there was a FAQ for WaW, should we make an unofficial one for MW2? Smuff 21:38, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

edit in Javelin section
it is mentioned in the javelin trivia that, unlike the stinger, javelins cannot chase vehicles. It can. I have shot a javelin at a harrier, and when the harrier started to rocket away, the javelin missle was in the middle of turning around to come down on it. the harrier flew out of the map and the javelin trailed behind it, and i actually got the points for destroying it even though it was far in the distance.

I did the exact same thing, I was like "Damn, too late." But then I saw +300 and Sasha Nein destroyed Harrier. 71.96.3.47 02:49, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

You can shoot down a moving UAV or AC-130 with the javalin, it just follows it.

Spelling
Since I can't edit the page. It's guarded by OpFor, not gaurded by OpFor.

Carbet Bomber I
If im right the callsign "Carpet Bomber" Kill 50 enemies with Precision Airstrikes, should be marked with green as you need to prestige to unlock the challenge.

SCAR-H reload time
Is the weapon reload time stated for the weapons measured when the ammo bar registers as full or when the reload animation is complete and the weapon is able to fire again? By utilizing a scripting program I am able to execute extremely precise reload cancels for my favorite weapons, with and without sleight of hand. I have measured the accurccy of this program by having it start and stop a stopwatch program. It measured plus or minus 0.02s.

I noticed that the SCAR-H is listed as having a reload time of 1.8s loaded. With my SCAR-H reload script active, the weapon can be reload canceled in 1.85s. When my script is modified to include the time between the initiation of the reload process and the precise moment it is able to fire (as I'm interpreting as a complete reload), it comes out to 2.82s. I have not measured the reload time for an unloaded SCAR-H but if an increased reload time in intrinsic of any weapon, I would think it would be higher than 2.82s.

Maybe I missed something but I thought I'd just let you know what I found.

Killstreak criticism
Many magazines and online publications criticized the game about the fact that many of the killstreaks were heavily overpowered in the hands of people who play the game religiously and can rack up kills instantly. Should this be included anywhere in the article? Smuff 01:28, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

I don't think it should. There seems to be a lot of personal opinion in this.Halo&amp;CoD 23:51, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

Default Class loadouts
I was at work and started wondering how useful the default classes might be. I came here to see what the loadouts were and couldn't find them. After copying them out of the game but before starting to edit, I first tried to search once more and by changing my search to "preset classes" I found them. They're listed on a multiplayer page for COD4. My suggestion is that the MW2 section be separated into it's own article, linked from here. Failing that, the COD4 page with the current listing should get a link from this page. Each loadout listing should also have the assigned deathstreak added. I would do all that myself, but being new here I hesitate to tear apart someone else's page as my first edit. Any comments, or alternate suggestions? Respawned 21:58, February 25, 2010 (UTC) Done. Respawned 19:25, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

New game modes
In the MW2 MP files there are voice-overs for game modes such as: Armsrace, and Pro(game mode here) or tactical(game mode here).


 * Armsrace sounds like Global Thermonuclear War -ScotlandTheBest 00:53, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Hidden level
On the International Space Station page, it syas that there was a cancelled level about the ISS but they made it into a part of Second Sun. Should I start a page about the cancelled level? 09:52, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

"SPOILER ALERT" part
Is it really necessary to have that? It is obvious that the plot section of this article will have details on the plot, so anyone with half a brain can work out that there will be spoilers. It just seems ridiculous to have it there. 71.169.180.186 21:16, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

It's just there as a precautionary measure. While I agree with you, I don't think it should be deleted. Sgt. S.S. 10:42, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

Someone who doesn't want to be spoiled should go looking at the plot section of the article. There is no reason to keep it around, anyone who sees the section will know that there are spoilers. Atigeronfire 02:50, March 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * Point is, the MW1 article doesn't have the stupid spoiler alert thing on it, so MW2 shouldn't either. Someone should get rid of it.

Russian attack on US
In the 'Plot' section, it reads "Russia initiates a surprise invasion of the United States East Coast". This is incorrect - Russia attacks both coasts simultaneously as shown in the cut-scene before 'Wolverines!'.

No, Didn't you hear the cutscene, The Radar people said that there was nothing and Russia using the ACS put that an invasion was coming from the west coast instead of the East coast. Squelliot

The Russians made it appear as an ACS fault by showing a bunch the invasion coming from the west. I think that what was seen coming from the west was what was coming from the east. That's why when the West Coast reported no activity, they assumed it was a fault, and it was far too late for the East Coast to stop the massive invasion, as they only knew about it by the time they were already flying over I-95 (pretty far inland). --AlexF 07:20, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Year the game is set.
I think that MW2 is set in 2010 because the events and weapons of COD4 seem to make it seem as though it is set in 2005, 2006. The weapons, armour and vehicles seem to be from that year. Also the weapons in MW2 look more like weapons from this year, I.E the Ak-47 looking like the more modern AK-101, and also the inclusion of the EMP, black and white thermals and weapons like the Vector also add to this factor. I think that in COD4 IW just mucked up the dates of All Ghilled Up.

Anyway, what do you guys think? II  Helljumper   II  19:46, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

i had the weirdest thing happen one time on skidrow you know how it takes 3 rockets to take out an AC-130 well i fired a javilin at it it set of the first flare and then a dude fired another rocket so my javalin comes back and destroys it so i was like WTF

I enjoyed it more than any of the others (which is really just MW1 and WaW) because of the shear weapon and atatchment variety in MP, bonus XP abounding, Spec ops, Pro-ing, variety of killstreak rewards, effective stealth perks, recognition for taking out KSRs, Callsign and all that that made it different to CoD4. all this came after a few extra months of waiting for Australian online support but i was happy once i got on and then very sad about 2-3 months later when the f**king disk cracked! as for the 'Backstabbed the PC community' I'm Xbox because i prefere console games, why? no need to worry about system requirements, though who decided to make the map pack cost 50% more than the standard, especcialy when they recycled the entirety of one of the maps and the others were mostly based on campain maps, WaW is the only game i have EVER payed for DLC and that was when they had the bundle on special and i wanted the Zombie maps and to stop getting dumped from games because it picked a pack map. no other game does that! also, this is for discussion of the artical itself relevent to but not just about the subject.

Possible Future Playlists
Def shouldnt be called that. At the very least we should acknowledge the dozens of other cancelled playlists, whose audio files can be found on the pc version. call it Possible Cancelled playlists, or whatever, i.e. there are audio files for hardcore everything (ffa, TDM, sabotage, global thermonuclear war etc) and defcon everything and die hard everything. who knows what they are, but just saying, expecting cut playlists to be released as DLCs in the future is not likely. Bowling himself has said that these playlists like diehard and defcon, arena, GWT where just cut way before the games release, and they have no intentions of making them availiable. jus saying. --Ashwilso12 20:54, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, the playlist list itself is screwed. someone fix it. gwt is not a playlist, and hardcore s&d appears twice ._. --Ashwilso12 20:58, May 6, 2010 (UTC)

Timeline of the Games
Both Modern Warfare games follow a Day 1, Day 2 etc pattern of a timeline. Both end on Day 7. Are we to conclude that both games take place over the span of one week? This is fairly acceptable for the first game, but downright unbelievable for the first. This would mean that the Russians invaded the United States and ravaged their way inland in the span of two days. So are the days the days of one week, or just particular days that may take place apart from one another? --AlexF 07:23, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Hey,

I just saw that you guys made a mistake, at the Emblem page of MW2.

On the 3rd page you see the skull emblem you get from "The Colour of Money" challenge.

It says you need to got payback with semtex 25 times. It has to be headshots, not semtex.

It's not a big deal, but i suppose you can change it before people get confused.

Thanks, XINuclearIX.



end game 3.........2...1 !!!!!
hi guys....

getting the tactical nuke is harder than i tought....

my question is... could you help me with gettin the tactical nuke on mw2.

if you wanna be a friend my name is....

soesmeister (on ps3)

RE: end game 3.......2...1 !!!!!!
If you get people to help you get kills for a tactical nuke that is boosting.

If you need suggestions, then try to be fairly stealthy, and use killstreak rewards that stay (EG Harrier, chopper gunner, tactical nuke) and use stopping power and scavenger.

Spoiler template
I think we can take the spoiler template off. The game's been out for three quarters of a year (time gone so quickly), and pretty much everybody here as got it or knows the plotline. We can put minor spolier reminders before and after any plotlines, but a huge unnecessary template for spoiler warnings is not needed. -- Tigernose    Chat   •  Edits   16:17, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Proof of Modern Warfare 2 Timeline
According to the video footage in the cutscene of The Hornet's Nest, closely looked, it is mentioned "Inwardly revised April rates of 344.00..." Also with the clues mentioned in the discussions of the U.S. Army Missions (Wolverines!, Exodus, etc.) this should be enough to prove that Modern Warfare 2 occurs in APRIL of 2016. Request permission to again apply the month of April to the dates of all the missions.

Port to Wii
Was the port to Wii not confirmed to be fake? It was just a mock up. I don't have any articles to prove my point (though I'm sure you can find one using Google), I'm pretty sure the Wii version hasn't been confirmed yet. And if the Wii version has been confirmed, then why would some fans believe it to be true? The whole section doesn't make sense in my opinion.

You should delete it until a legit source is found. I somehow doubt the Wii can handle MW2. 15:57, August 4, 2010 (UTC)~
