 * Righto, I just saw this page and looked it up. It's incredible!  Look on Google. Creepydude 17:50, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Semi-lock this page?
I was just thinking, maybe we should semi-lock this page so only registered users can edit it, as it is recent big news, and we will likely get swarms of people coming to change it... Anyone? Is this a good idea or a bad one? Creepydude 18:00, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that would probably be for the best.--Azncutthroat 18:13, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Great, now all we need is an admin... I haven't had much luck in general contacting them...  Creepydude 18:15, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It seems Rs beat me to the punch. 22:07, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

I think the fourth perk symbol in the trailer (or the last since the arrow to the right of it is biger than the other symbols) is a perk that puts your dot, on an enemys UAV, in a differemt location than you are. Instead of players using UAV jammer, they can use this perk to throw off the enemy. I think this because in the symbol, there is an arrow pointing to a circle or "target" which is like saying this is where the "fake you is." Or, it could be the new steady aim perk since there is an arrow pointing to a target. Moreover, it could be the World at War equiviltant, Reconnaissance, since there is an arrow pointing to a circle or "area" or where abouts of "enemys" etc.

just my thoughts.

Should that picture be used?
That picture being used for the game is probably just being used for the purposes of the trailer. Shouldn't we use something else?


 * I don't believe there is anything else available. Teaser trailer only or not, it's still the only logo that we know of for MW2. 22:13, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm with Bovell. Darkman 4 23:51, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Title change
The title of the page needs to be changed from "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" to "Modern Warfare 2" Imrlybord7 13:07, 27 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, I was going to say this at some point myself. According to an official press release, MW2 will not have the Call of Duty prefix. Despite this, I believe we should still have this game detailed in our wiki, as it is a sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, which IS part of the Call of Duty franchise. 13:39, 27 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I certainly agree that it should be part of the wiki, just saying that the title of this page needs to be changed. Imrlybord7 18:35, 27 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah sorry about that, got a little off topic there, heheh. I'll go ahead and move the page, as it should be at its proper name. 19:00, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

What Was Said In The Elevator
Not sure if I should add this but I heard the words "stand by" and "remember the Russian". Could be references to Mile High Club where the target is a Russian, it could also be a reference to Imran Zakhaev. PhantBat 01:46, 28 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I originally though he said "Stand by." and "Remember, you're Russian." but after viewing posts on Infinity Ward's official forums, I now believe he says "S'nami Bog." and then after that, "Remember, no Russian". S'nami Bog in Russian means God is with us, which would make sense if they were a terrorist group. And the reason why I think he says no Russian is that they are trying to impersonate the United States. Notice how in the video, you can briefly see them pulling out an M4 Carbine, which is one of the US's standard weapons. Possibly, the group wants to make it looks like its attack was made by the US. So to complete the act, no one should speak Russian, so that their true identity is not given away. 12:12, 28 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for clarifying that! Certainly interesting to fake a US attack! PhantBat 19:30, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The line "remember, no Russians" probably means do not kill any Russians in the airport. Russian terrorists who attack a European airport would probably not wan to kill their own people.
 * People have been saying that the line spoken was "Remember, no Russian(s)." But When I heard it, it almost sounded like "Remember, don`t rush them. Corky64 19:18, 8 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I would have to say that "Remember, no Russian" would make the most sense in the current situation. Why would they (not) want to rush out of the elevator? They're facing defenseless civilians anyway, it's BAM you're dead by the time someone notices a guy with an M4. So it wouldn't make much difference if they did it any faster or slower, someone's going to die anyway. 21:41, 8 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I guess you're right. "Remember, no Russian" does sound more reasonable, as Russians posing as Americans is most likely the situation.Corky64 00:38, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Did any one pick up the last Russian words at the end (after the explosions)? PhantBat 20:43, 1 May 2009 (UTC)


 * At about 1:51, translated from Russian, it means: "Revolution is not possible without a revolutionary situation." It's actually a quote from Vladimir Lenin. 21:20, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Green Wave
The "green wave" is a sound spectrograph, although I'm not too sure if that's the right instrument. --Azncutthroat 17:25, 28 March 2009 (UTC)


 * The green wave in the trailer signifies the audio...24.1.34.230 21:24, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Teddy Bear
Yay! the teddy bear is back! but..errmm..it does'nt really have anything to do with the trailer? as in mentioning?--DerynJ1 19:57, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

More General Hints
Oh, I also found a walkthrough of the trailer on joystiq.com (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/03/27/modern-warfare-2-trailer-analysis-hints-at-perks-locations-ted?icid=sphere_blogsmith_inpage_joystiq). Seems okay... And then this one (http://bashandslash.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=562&Itemid=111). --Azncutthroat 18:35, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Elevator Signs
ya I'm sure everyone knows that the L1 and L2 are the things in elevators, but this trailer may show two teams as M in an elevator is for mezanine which is in hotels or apartments. So could it be two Russian teams.

Release date for modern warfare 2
[[Media:Example.ogg]] ON the final screen in the first trailer an "11" like in the elevator (notice that they were nowere near that floor) could indicate a November release date. the "2" could also indicate the second, so the release date could be november 2nd. 99.151.171.137 21:43, 28 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Erm, this is actually confirmed at the end of the trailer. The release date is November 10th, 2009. 22:22, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

STORY OF MODERN WARFARE 2
IN THE TRAILER FOR MODERN WARFARE 2 A PLANE THAT APPEARS CRASHED IS VISUAL FOR A SLIT SECOND THEREFORE I BELIEVE MILE HIGH CLUB WAS A PREVIEW SO IT MUST TAKE PLACE AFTER MILE HIGH CLUB.

PLEASE DON'T USE ALL CAPS. CAW4 18:43, 26 April 2009 (UTC)CAW4

The plane is blown up at the end of the level Mile High Club. Something similar to the level could be in Modern Warfare 2 though.

Perks?
If you look at the trailer at 1:12 (when they get out of the elevator) look at the top right corner and you'll see 5 symbols.What are these?Are they new perks or what?Jedi127 20:34, 20 April 2009 (UTC)Jedi127

It most likely is perks, one of them looks like the deep impact one, the others are most likely going to be new ones.--All sneaky like 19:27, 26 April 2009 (UTC)


 * From left to right, first one appears to be Stopping Power. Second one looks like the shoe of Hermes/Mercury (Greek/Roman Messenger God), which would imply that the perk makes one run faster. Third one is some symbol from World at War, I've seen it before at the stats screen. Last perk I'm not so sure on, but I hope it's not a vehicle perk since tanks killed World at War. Oh, and 5th I don't believe is a perk, just a sign, since it's bigger than the others. 21:50, 26 April 2009 (Cujo two this Vulture solid copy on all)

I agree on the list of perks stated here, but I think the fourth(last) symbol looks a tad bit like martyrdom. Balrog95 14:58, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

in 4 perks i think it was Shield---nicolasm 14:40, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

The Box Art?
CoDFan3 00:12, 23 April 2009 (UTC)Just a question, but where exactly did the boxart photo come from exactly? Like I said, I don't doubt it, it's just I'd never saw it before. -User:CoDFan3


 * The image was originally posted on Twitter by fourzerotwo. He's a developer at Infinity Ward and is actually the staff member in charge of the live feed of Modern Warfare 2. He's also a moderator of the Modern Warfare 2 part of Infinity Ward's official forum. I believe that's a reliable enough of a source, which is why I uploaded his teaser image of the box art. 12:29, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

CoDFan3 23:29, 23 April 2009 (UTC):Oh, thanks for clearing that up. -User:CoDFan3

Sneak peek
Mabye Mile high club (at the end of the 4th one) was a sneek peek of one of the missions? a demo of sorts? Eternalnight264 12:26, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

That is one of the rumors currently circulating as some players claim to see a downed plane in one of the green waves in the trailer.-- 13:23, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Yep, you can see the cabin of the plane in Mile High Club as well as the plane after it presumably crashed. 21:18, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Title "Confusion"
I'm a bit reluctant to consider the fact that Call of Duty might be back in the title of Modern Warfare 2. While it was indeed Michael Griffith, the President and CEO of Activision, who brought this news, I'd like to wait until E3 when we can truly confirm this. Odds are, Infinity Ward is going to unveil something at E3. 11:07, 10 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree, while Activision has the final say, Michael Griffith might have been mistaken. We should wait for final conformation from Infinity Ward.-- 12:41, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

I added a picture and a description of said picture!!!!
Remember, it is just some thoughts! Callofduty4 12:29, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Paragraphs that should be removed
The following paragraph should be removed from the Speculation section, as it has no proof and is just random assumption:

''At the very end right before the large 2 lights up, you can see a 1 on the left and a 3 on the right. There is also an M next to the 1 on the left. This could possibly mean there will be a Modern Warfare 3, as the M stands for Modern, and the 1 stands for the first game.

In the perks screenshot, the first one is stopping power, the second one could be 'super speed', as the boot has a wing. It could also be flying, although it is very unlikely. The third one looks like two RPGs crossed or two guns crossed, which may mean it is Overkill or 'Double Ammo'. The last one looks like an arrow making a sonic boom, which could mean increased bullet speed, which means even if a target is moving if the gun is aimed at him he will be hit, you do not need to aim in fromt of him. It could also be a ???portal gun???''

--194.106.220.19 15:22, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

reply to above crap
uhh, i actually thought quite a while about these perks, so they are not a 'random guess' and therefore should not be removed. The same thing applies to the Modern Warfare lights. Think before you speak dude. Oh by the way, the stopping power perk is a random assumption, eh? Look at the picture i put on the main page. Then type your own assumption and try to do better. Post it on this page.

This might be a bit out of line, but I just have to respond to whoever wrote the above paragraph. You are an idiot. An absolute idiot. Portal? And FYI all bullets move at an infinite velocity in Call of Duty (because there aren't any bullets, just numbers being instantly projected from the gun onto wherever the shooter is aiming), so there would never be a perk for "faster bullets." Your ideas are incredibly stupid and I hope you never edit here again. Imrlybord7 07:14, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Callofduty4 17:31, 11 May 2009 (UTC)


 * tbh all of the speculation regarding the new perk icons is nothing more than educated guesses. For all we know, one of the perks featured could give you a jetpack. Darkman 4 18:46, 11 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree with Dark. If no source is given within 2 days, the questionable content will be removed.-- 19:21, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Why call me an idiot, I did not 'guess', because I could have put any crap down. I put some decent thought and yes, maybe they are wrong. They probably are wrong. I will undo all 'EXCEPT the Stopping Power one, as I, along with many other people, believe it to be that. Sorry if I broke any policies or anything. BTW do you really have to be so aggressive Imrlybord7? Callofduty4 17:09, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Oh you already did. Thanks! Callofduty4 17:11, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

"Double Ammo?" Bandolier already does that, and those are two crossed knives/swords, not guns/rpgs. If anything, it would be Overkill, Double Attachments, or a melee related perk. There obviously wouldn't be a super speed or flying perk because those would be incredibly stupid and game breaking. I explained why there couldn't be a "faster bullet" perk. And suggesting a portal gun is just ridiculous. If you are below the age of 12 then I apologize for my aggression, if not then you completely deserved it. Imrlybord7 00:12, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Dude please leave me alone! IM SORRY Callofduty4 18:08, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Promo Video
From the new video, it looks like, the game will take place in Northern Russian (snow part) at a base of some sort. The underwater bit, is awesome as well! PhantBat 22:40, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

I can see a Steyr AUG or possible an Austeyr. Also, during the snowmobile scene I can see a Glock 17. The guy running has a AK-47. Outlaw 2-5

The guy sitting in a chopper has a M21 (0:01-0:02). nuttex

The M21 is the sniper version of the M14. The M24 is the U.S. Army's version of the R700. The M40 is the U.S. Marine Corps's version of the R700. The guy in the chopper is holding what appears to be an M21, or it could just be an M14 with a sniper scope, but that is doubtful. It is definitely not any type of R700. Imrlybord7 07:16, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Box art
I removed the picture that showed a tiny bit of box art because it broke up the weapon list and showed almost nothing. Plus, we now have a much better box art picture. Imrlybord7 16:09, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Weapon list
Should I start making pages for guns, or is that jumping the gun a bit (pun intended)? Imrlybord7 16:35, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * You're jumping the gun. We should wait until we either get more info and/or have a demo released so that we can examine the gun files. Darkman 4 16:30, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

From what I saw, I think the AUG is an A2. The scope is the typical Steyr AUG scope shape, but it was attached by a picatinny rail. The A1 has the scope attached directly. The main scans on giantbomb are gone, but I'm sure someone can find them with some digging, or just wait for the June issue of GameInformer

I think that it will just be the AUG, with an A1 version having the fixed scope, and the A2 version having rails/iron sights. Kind of like how the MP5 with a suppressor was the MP5SD. I'll change it to just say AUG. Imrlybord7 12:44, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

I was looking at GI (Game Informer), and I think I saw a Remington 870 Shotgun.

Also, can anyone point out where the MP5-K is? Outlaw 2-5 In the photos from GameInformer in the picture that shows the riot shields you can see what appears to be an MP5 MP5, POSSIBLY the MP5K. I honestly don't know, but I have heard multiple people saying that they saw it, and all of them said the same spot and had no reason to lie (they were posting in serious weapon topics and all of their other information was correct). I'm taking their word for it. Imrlybord7 12:44, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Could the ak looking weapon that soap and some of the other soldiers have be an an-94? compare with the wikipedia pic. look at the stock. could not be, but just a suggest.

The AK is probably a newer model AK 74 or the AK 103. Since the AK-47 was removed from service in the Russia military, although countries like North Korea, Iraq, Vietnam still use the older models.

As for the M4, since we know the main character...playable and NPC will be SAS, it should be the Canadian Diemaco C8SFW...this time, Infinity Ward should make their weapons list right in real life; the SAS do not use M4s, unless there is the appearance of another playable character who is either a US Army soldier (unlikely) or a US Marine (Oorah)

It definitely isn't an AN-94. Imrlybord7 12:44, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Magazine Scans
I'm not sure on the legality of having these uploaded to the site. I'm pretty sure it is violating a copyright held by GameInformer. Not to mention the fact that none of those images seem to have licensing. We can have the information provided in the article, just not the direct scans. 22:36, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

USAS-12?
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/62/USAS12shotgun4104.jpg http://games.tiscali.cz/clanek/screen_detail.asp?id=13478&img=imgg.jpg look in the right hand corner. any thoughts? 69.76.52.25 23:25, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure. The magazine slot looks wider than the actual magazine; something that the USAS-12 doesn't have. Also, the magazine in the screenshot is straight down, while the USAS' is slightly curved. Good idea though. Darkman 4 23:52, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

No, that is the H&K UMP submachine gun. Imrlybord7 00:14, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Can anyone name these three guns? i think from the left some kind of shotgun, then an AK variant and then some other weapon i can't make out, i can't even see where the guy is holding it at the front XD -- that worm
 * Gun on the left is some sort of Shotgun (prob M1014), the center one is a 7.62x39 AK variant and the last one is the KRISS SMG with extended magazine. Darkman 4 19:20, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Super Six One is Going Down
After seeing the new militia faction, I've got a feeling we're gonna have a "Black Hawk Down" level in Rio. By the looks of things, it's gonna be AWESOME. In the words of Vasquez, Oorah? Chief z 12:02, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

I've got a feeling that you are very wrong. There is nothing to suggest that there will be any crashed helicopters or rescuing in that level, unless you have another definition for "Black Hawk Down level." But yes, it will be awesome. Imrlybord7 18:39, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

True, I guess I wasn't clear. What I meant was a level with an atmosphere similiar too "Black Hawk Down"; blazing sun, dilapidated urban environment, and rag-tag militiamen. Maybe even the AH-6's from the trailer. Fair enough?

Chief z 06:44, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

IMO that describes way too many movies and/or games to refer to it specifically as a "Black Hawk Down" level. Imrlybord7 14:34, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, who knows. Anyway, just saw the Gametrailers.com teaser and the thing that caught my eye was the dude with the mohawk at 0:16. He reminds of the SEAL from "Tears of the Sun."

Chief z 06:49, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

offical xbox magazine
i was reading a old offical xbox360 magazine where it showed a list for things to be included like the L85A1 comonly refered to the sa-80 and tanks in multiplayer....i dont now how this works and a perk for infa red just trying to identify any of those in the trailers.....also i see no shield

(ALEXJD)[]

The article was most likely just speculation. the shields were in the Game Informer article. Not to be a jerk, but do some research. Everybody knows about the GI article. Imrlybord7 14:35, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

The Protagonist
Anyone's got information about the playable characters in Modern Warfare 2? BBuzz 07:37, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

You Play as Soap again


 * Soap is to come back as an NPC. You may play as Soap again similar to Cpt. Price in All Ghillied Up and One Shot, One Kill, but the main protagonist has yet to be revealed. 17:00, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about the Gametrailers thing
I figured Kotaku would be legit, guess not. My apologies for writing about it in the first place. At least we only have to wait 3 more days for new footage! Imrlybord7 00:44, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

NVM, I found out that the trailer will air on Gametrailers TV on Spike at 12:30 AM Eeastern. Imrlybord7 02:10, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

The Half-teaser 2-5

Future Warfare?
By looking at soap's picture, he looks like an elder soldier. at his bio he borns at 1980s but now he's an elder so are this call of duty is sets more futuristic? BBuzz 04:15, 22 May 2009 (UTC)


 * It looks more like he got snow on his beard. I don't think the two games would have that much of a gap between them. Besides, the ubiquitous airplane keeps returning in the trailers, which leads me to believe the game's events take place not long after (or even before) Mile High Club. 11:22, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

After seeing all the teaser info, I don't think there would be a drastic update with weapons/equipment, if that's what you're getting at. Nothing like Tom Clancy's Endgame anyway. If anything, there would be changes that would reflect real-life future military plans, such as fielding the V-22 Osprey and F-35 Lightning II, or the replacement of the M24 with the M110. However, considering it is in the future, I wouldn't rule out the idea.

Chief z 07:10, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

what AK is this?
http://www.gamegrep.com/showimage.php?pos=2&newsid=20387 http://www.gamegrep.com/showimage.php?pos=4&newsid=20387 http://www.gamegrep.com/showimage.php?pos=5&newsid=20387

In the first image I can see that it has a waffle magazine. In the second image I can see that a muzzle brake is present, and in the last image I can see what appears to be a Tapco Intrafuse AK-47 Handguard. So what is it? Oh and it appears to have a synthetic stock. 72.133.253.21 23:33, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Anybody?

HK416?
Uh, I was looking at the trailer below and at 11 seconds I saw what looked like the foregrip of an HK416...would anybody agree with me on this one?

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/97/HK416.jpg/800px-HK416.jpg

Tweak95 17:30 23 May 2009 (UTC)

I don't think it's the HK416. After scanning the trailer, the same gun appears at 0:13 on the soldier on the left. If you look closely at the buttstock, the end is flat and straight like on the M4, not curved like the 416.

...They both have flat stocks... look here -> http://images.military.com/pics/SoldierTech_HK416-1.jpg CAW4 14:11, 24 May 2009 (UTC)CAW4 Chief z 08:43, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

The new M4 in MW2 is modeled after the M4 S-System airsoft gun, in all seriousness. Kind of weird, but it looks awesome IMO. Imrlybord7 18:40, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * IW seems to have a penchant for basing their weapon models off of airsoft guns. Somebody postd on the AK-74U page that the AK-74U model is based off of an airsoft gun. Darkman 4 18:54, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

I was thinking the exact same thing when I posted that, right down to the word "penchant." LOLOLOL Imrlybord7 07:55, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

About new info I will be posting
It comes from a Dutch preview that one of my friends translated. I don't really have any way to cite it, so I'm just going to put the info up. It's legit, don't worry. Imrlybord7 18:40, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Do you have the website URL? I trust you, but I'd like to see the site first. Darkman 4 18:56, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

http://forums.infinityward.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=34427&start=0 - not sure if this is what he means, but here is a lot of new info for anyone who hasn't read it - pretty interesting the parts about riot shields as perks and levels in Rio, the Desert and Snow etc.
 * Thanks for the link! Darkman 4 20:42, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

No Problem, thought i'd contribute something to the conversation as i've used this page many a time to check for updates myself. Alex GT oSHADOWoDEVILo

Speculation
I removed the section that talked about the first teaser trailer's speculation. Later on, much of that information will most likely be proven incorrect, and it would have just been a waste of space and information on the page.

On a lighter note, I condensed the two trailer sections so that all the videos can be viewed in the same area. 02:59, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
