New Spec Ops mission
Check this out! http://g4tv.com/videos/42327/Exclusive_Modern_Warfare_2_SpecOps_AC130_Mission_Gameplay/. --DevilWarrior112 18:39, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Wow seems like this game is going to be the best since anything really..... I can't wait for it, and on a side note: DevilWarrior, MW2 will come out on the 10th of Nov. in Australia, can't wait! Cpt. Carebear 27 Oct.

OK. --DevilWarrior112 18:39, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

That map looked like the level hunted from the first game. did anyone else see that?

BRING THE RAIN! Chief z 12:20, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Man that level looks awesome. I love how you can actually see the guy in the AC-130. 12:34, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

It shows the SCAR using 30 round mags but it looks like the SCAR-H to me. Anyone else think so?(it might be a SCAR-L and I could be blind)Jewfrohero 21:47, October 27, 2009 (UTC)


 * I took my time and counted how many bullets it held, and it was 30. Edit: Proof of 30 (zoom in): http://i38.tinypic.com/fvelp2.jpg (note the red dots are to help me count) Ferrariguy1000 23:34, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

In the Flag Runner vid the SCAR-H has 20 round mags. The SCAR-L is the one with the 30 round mags. Jewfrohero 00:14, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Keep in mind it could have an extended magazine or it might just have a different mag size in SP/Spec Ops than MP. Imrlybord7 11:37, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Third Person Confirmed
Don't know if this was added yet. I've been sick lately (feel like shit), so forgive me.

''Infinity Ward Community Manager Robert Bowling has confirmed the 3rd person perspective to Joystiq, saying "It's not something you can toggle on and off in ANY game. The special mode can only be played in private matches -- toggled on or off just like "Hardcore" settings -- or in playlists that are designated for third-person play," he said. "This is just another cool way to play the game, you obviously will still have the option to play gametypes normal as well." IGN followed up with Bowling confirming the accuracy of that report.'' - IGN

Here's the full article: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/103/1038859p1.html# Chief z 11:57, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Nice find man. I love playing 3rd person using that glitch in Nazi Zombies, although you can't kill anything lol. 15:53, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I didn't know you could go into 3rd person on zombies. I guess I'll go check that out. Chief z 09:44, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Playable Characters box (SPOILER)
I just looked on the playable character box and i saw on the MW2 section: Sgt. Gary "Roach" Sanderson and Unknown Ultranationalist??? Are you going to play as a Ultranationalist soldier and become a traitor and work with Task Force 141? But it could be the epilogue of MW2. It would be good though. It might not be true but it sounds good. Callofduty4, where did you get this source or are you just making this up? --DevilWarrior112 18:39, October 27, 2009 (UTC)


 * Someone got the game early and leaked footage of the level "Team player", the level is the terrorist attack on the Russian airport. As for the unknown ultranationalist, he's only in one level, never part of TF 141. OmgHAX! 13:14, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah I included him in that box. 15:53, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Stackable killstreaks
I picked this up with my sneaky eyes. I bet we've covered this before, but just in case. On the Afghan footage vid, once the guy uses a care package, a spinning UAV symbol appeared. This leads me to believe that killstreaks now stack. Thank the Lord. 15:53, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Good find. --DevilWarrior112 18:39, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, its been on the page, few archives back. good find, though a tad late. --Cpt Jack House 19:30, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Airport Mission (SPOILER)
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/3626160/modern_wafare_2/ This is a sick mission. --DevilWarrior112 18:39, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

The name of the mission his playing is Pas de russe, which is the French of No Russian, so Team Player isn't the real title of the mission in the Airport. Team Player is after S.S.D.D (labelled in French, Travail D'Equipe). The real name of the airport mission is problably No Russian, but its strange it isn't seen in the achivements. SMG097Hardcore

Renamed the section title. It's interesting having to play "the Other Side" for once. Good to see the layout is similar to Call of Duty 4. Although the thing on top says CIA Informant (?). Also the regular MP5 with a 203 Grenade Launcher is used in this level, should I add to the weapons list? FYI Makarov is in this level, shown speaking with the subtitles.

Edit: The playable character in this mission is a CIA Deep Cover Operative PhantBat 16:53, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Where is there an MP5 with 203? He uses an M4A1 with 203. 17:44, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Yea how come he made the fotage so bad? And the mp videos dont even hsve sound

Yeah, you were right, checked the vid again, good eyes. PhantBat 18:37, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Deleted. Anyone got a link elsewhere? Is it better quality than frenchy's video footage? OmgHAX! 18:46, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

I put one on the original Team Player page... MrJoe95 02:34, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

M249 SAW
During the beginning of leaked footage of the Airport Mission, when they begin shooting, I can hear the familiar buzzing sound of the SAW. It's unmissable if you know the sound. The link is above. It could be in-game. 17:20, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah I noticed that too, Also the Machine gun your using looks just like a SAW. PhantBat 17:23, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

The MG you use is the M240. Still, the M240 is a heavier MG than the M249, so the M249 might be in game. 17:27, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Makarov (MAJOR SPOILER)
I can swear he is in your squad in the Airport Mission. One of the guys is labeled "Makarov". P.S. Does anyone else find this mission unnecessarily gruesome and cold-blooded? =/ 17:27, October 27, 2009 (UTC)


 * It does say Makarov --Cpt Jack House 19:35, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Yep, especially since he shoots you at the end of the level! PhantBat 17:35, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Seriously? I didn't actually watch it until the end of the level. 17:40, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Shoots you point blank in the face, as you are about to escape! PhantBat 17:47, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

I think its completely necessary for expositing Makarov's new regime. You can't understand his evil until you look it in the face... or some crap like that XD. I know the younger kids will be thinking "w00t t3rr0rists ftw CS pwns all" OmgHAX! 18:45, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Im pretty sure you play as CIA in the level, someone under cover if you pay attention to the logos at the beginning of the level --Cpt Jack House 19:34, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmRi60EOMCY full vid --Cpt Jack House 20:29, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Go to the team player page, I got a video there, not from youtube. MrJoe95 23:28, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

removing
why are all of these videos of leaked gameplay beeing removed? and can someone make a video that will stay on you tube?

Copyrights, likely. The game hasn't been officially released yet, so understandably, IW/Activision probably arent too happy with these... I dont even think leak is the right term anymore... floods would be a better term. (PS: Sign your posts please) WouldYouKindly 20:26, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Theory on SPOILER
Hey everyone. Just felt like posting my theory on why the undercover agent is killing civies. It may seem like "You've watched too many movies" but think about it. What if the one way for the agent to appear as a terrorist was to, sadly, go along with Makarov's (Please correct my spelling at will) plan? But how the police know is what gets me. Maybe the C.I.A warned the Russians of the attack, and informed them about the agent? I dunno. Anyway, feel free to rip apart my theory as you see fit. StolenRequiem 20:57, October 27, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hmmm, interesting theory. Ferrariguy1000 22:38, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Have you ever whatched 24 or some sort of fbi show? people have to do that stuff undercover all the time because if the C.I.A. agent didnt kill civies, it would look very susitous. And the cops didnt know about it because they tried to kill the C.I.A. agent. And somebody probably called the police

And think about the name... Team Player. MrJoe95 23:27, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Furthermore, I think its a pretty crucial part of the story; as an undercover agent, do you go along with the attack? Let it happen? or maybe even try to kill makarov? IW might be trying to get us to make tough decisions for the sake of the narrative. OmgHAX! 01:05, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

The level isn't called Team Player. Its called No Russian

More leaked videos?
I was wondering. Do you people think that this french guy will make more videos? If he does, put the web addres for all of them here please. Im really wondering if he will make more and its hard to find them because almost all of them have been removed.


 * If he does show more linked vids, all I want is F2000 Gameplay LOL. And I don't want to act like a moderator or anything, but please sign your post. Ferrariguy1000 22:40, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

My, my, Zimmer, what have you done?
Have you noticed that if you slow down the music in the Infamy trailer, It sounds very much like Pirates of the Caribbean music? This is where I noticed it (Second slow down): http://www.gametrailers.com/video/gt-pop-block-modern-warfare/57291 Let the conspiracy theories commence! And watch it all the way through... MrJoe95 23:40, October 27, 2009 (UTC)


 * Zimmer did compose music for the 2nd and 3rd Pirates of the Caribbean, could be just a reference to past works. Ferrariguy1000 00:56, October 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * Some of it reminded me of dark knight, actually xd OmgHAX! 01:03, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

GameStop/EB Games Midnight
Do any of you know if gamestop (or eb games if you live in Canada,) will be opening midnight to release the game, or will players have to wait until 8 or 10am when the stores open. 01:12, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Im not sure. I never get the game on the day it comes out beacuse it always ends uo sold out so I get it 1 or 2 days afterword. October 28, 2009

Not all of them, but probably most of them. My EB Games (I live in NJ, not Canada, btw) is doing a midnight launch, which I will be attending. Imrlybord7 05:08, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Locations, addresses, and phone numbers of all stores with midnight launches in US and US territories: http://www.gamestop.com/gs/content/MW2MidnightOpenings.pdf Couldn't find anything similiar on the Canada website. Chief z 09:56, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

All right, thanks guy's. Just wondering, do you think we should add some where in the article that some GameStop stores will be opening at midnight, maybe in the triva section... just a thought 22:57, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

New G4 videos
G4 put up a bunch of new vids. I haven't watched them all yet, but the lead MP designer interview pretty much confirms that you unlock actual in-game stuff (perks, killstreaks, etc.) by prestiging. http://g4tv.com/games/xbox-360/61715/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2/articles/68845/Call-of-Duty-Modern-Warfare-2-Interview-Blowout/ Imrlybord7 05:11, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Some other stuff confirmed. EOTech will be exactly the same as the RDS (same reticule and everything), it just looks different on the outside (nice to see them implementing more appearance customization, although I think it looks too big on most guns and the CoD4 EOTech looked better). The AC-130 Spec Ops level is called Overwatch, and on Regular you only get 1/3 of the map, 2/3 on Hardened, and all of it on Veteran. Also, the Spec Ops interview shows the first first-person TAR-21 gameplay. Imrlybord7 05:43, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Now I have a real reason to Prestige, instead of getting a tiny little symbol. The CoD4 EOTech does look better than the other sights. Chief z 12:13, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

SCAR-H spotted again. I think this is going to be my favorite gun. EDIT: the Riot Sheild and its very sensuous melee hit is in the video video also. Dual Desert Eagles are at 6:17.

Second vid: Todd Alderman said that if you used the Noob Tube/Nub Tub, you will unlock a different attachment of that same style. I love how the IW execs pause between alot of words. (Bord, I know your a proof nazi. Ill post exactly what he said if you want me to.)

Thank god for streaming. I all tearey when he said "Hi res textures"

Video 4.1 and 4.2 (The trailer ones with Todd again.) Nothing new. AC-130 will drop flares.

Slowrider7 Slowrider7


 * I can only speculate what he meant by unlocking different attachments. Seems to suggest you can get a different model, i.e. an EOTech over a Trijicon RDS, a M320 over M203. etc. OmgHAX! 02:29, October 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * I was thinking that maybe using the M203 gets you the Masterkey, although the M320 idea might make more sense. Imrlybord7 02:46, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Skorpion?
If nobody has evidence of this, I'm removing it from the list. Imrlybord7 11:50, October 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * I think the guy speculated since the Modern Warfare: Mobilized had it. Even if Mobilized had it, it doesn't mean Modern Warfare 2 will. Ferrariguy1000 14:38, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Camouflage
In the leaked videos, there is a Perk 3 that was either called Camouflage or translates directly to Camouflage from French to English (I don't remember which). It is probably a ghillie suit. Looks like stealthy players (like myself) will have quite a few options. Imrlybord7 12:34, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Nice find again, Bord. 13:04, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

clases
I know this is VERY off subject, but what is the most comon class you use in cod5? Im having trouble making a good class. THANKS!!!!!!!

I understand posting something here since it gets a lot of traffic, but you shouldn't really do that. Add a new section on my Talk page saying what kind of class you want, and I will be glad to help. Imrlybord7 02:11, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Bling Pro Confirmed
An IW staff on the forums has confirmed that Bling Pro will be 2 attachments on secondary guns. --90.199.248.114 19:11, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

I was expecting this, but at least its definite now. Which leads me to the conclusion that if you got akimbo machine pistols, wouldn't that make an RDS attachment useless? OmgHAX! 19:32, October 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * You could still use something like extended mag/silencers, extended mag/full metal jacket (if FMJ is available for machine pistols anyway), etc, so yes RDS would be useless with akimbo, but I wouldn't say bling itself would be useless with akimbo. WouldYouKindly 19:41, October 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * I didn't say it would. Just the RDS would be useless OmgHAX! 21:45, October 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * PP-2000 + Suppressor + Extended Mags FTW. Imrlybord7 00:32, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

ESRB Rating
At the beginning of the Infamy trailer, when it shows the game rating by esrb, one of the points says "Drug References." Has anybody else noticed this and is this the first CoD game to have drug references. Also, should we add it to the article 00:30, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

Pretty old. We speculate that it's because the Brazilian militia is probably doing some drug stuff. Imrlybord7 00:32, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

ok thanks, I was just curious 01:59, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah its kind of ironic because the Brazillian police force just busted one of the biggest drug cartels ever like, a week ago. Slowrider7

More than likely the drug reference is soap smoking at the start of cliffhanger. OmgHAX! 14:48, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

Well, Painkiller has been rumored to be renamed "Morphine". Maybe that's the drug reference? WouldYouKindly 18:19, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

no russian
does makarov say "remember, no russian" in this level? if he does, could this mean that he is trying to appear as a foreigner in russia and possibly frame the job as being done by americans? this makes sense if he is trying to gain support for his cause (as in "look what america did they kill civilians come to my side")

Old old old old old. Imrlybord7 04:27, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

sasha
how do you know the cia guy's name is sasha? did it say it in the video?

Wow
Well guys, only 11 days left. Now I'm not trying to sound like a priest or anything, but look how far we've got. From this (earliest i could find) to this. Also we have 13 archives! 08:52, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

I know eh, it's cool to compare that old version to this one 19:21, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

so, ... technical aspects?
There is no mention of minimum system specs here, nor that MW2 will NOT have dedicated servers for PC (unless they find some brains lying in the streets to use them I guess). -- 10:52, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

U.S.M.C Member confirmed
I not sure if you know but there is going to be a U.S Marine(s) in the task force so you should add it to Cod MW2 but its ur choice

Probably worth adding, and please sign your posts. MrJoe95 12:37, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

Bad news for the guys down under
http://kotaku.com/5392963/modern-warfare-2-terrorist-footage-sparks-outrage-in-australia

bad luck guys. I hope they don't ban it. 16:38, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

One of two things is probably going to happen down there. 1: The airport mission will be cut entirely or changed into a short cutscene. 2: The game will be "refused classification" (A.G. Atkinson-speak for "banned"). I feel bad for our Aussie friends now. It'll be a national holiday when that Atkinson guy finally gets voted out of office. WouldYouKindly 18:18, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

Why can't they just make the game "Adults only"? I mean, it would pretty much dissuade any parent from buying it for their kids. OmgHAX! 19:45, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
