Modern Warfare 2

Teaser Trailer

Trailer Analysis

More and more rumours are flying about now, for MW2. On Twitter, FourZeroTwo, one of the Infinity Ward developers, has posted a few teasing things about MW2, including a boxart proposal, which is further down the topic, and a fake beta image. There's not a lot of info yet, but various websites have analysed the teaser trailer, and supposedly it reveals several locations, mentioned below:

Airport - if you watch the trailer analysis, it mentions that an airport mission might open the game. Also, this might be the name of the airport, after scanning through a few article analysis - Beionachocth:

Brazil - Rio De Janeiro? - again, watch the trailer, and at one point in the top-left corner, what looks like a statue appears with its arms outstretched, very much like the Statue Of Jesus.

Submarine

Aeroplane

Oil Rig

Snowy mountains

Castle

Perks:

A few perks were spotted by some eagle-eyed people, and one of them definitely looks like Stopping Power, so that looks like it's returning. The 4 other icons look new:

Number 2 looks like a boot, so maybe faster running, or Extreme Conditioning? Number 3 looks like 2 knives overlapping. Number 4 could maybe be Sonic Boom, the enhanced explosive damage perk, and number 5 I'm not sure. Maybe Martyrdom, or a variant of it.

Other points:

Parachuter - it looks like someone's parachuting down in this image -

Soldiers - 2 soldiers in this pic -

voice in the lift - a few possibilities:

1. "Remember… the Russian"

2. "Remember.. no Russian"

3. "Remember, no rushing"

Voice at the end - it's in Russian, and apparently the translation is - "Revolution isn't possible without a revolutionary situation".

Here's the boxart image:

Here's the fake beta image:

And here's a load of other images analysing the teaser:

The way this trailer has been presented is awesome. This is feeling awesome every time someone uncovers more and more, which makes this game completely exciting. This is going to be an awesome game!

I have a feeling the ending is going to be as dramatic like CoD: 4.

[The Bossman 8]

Ahh fuck, forgot about the MW2 topic that already exists. It hasn't been posted in for 4 months, though, but my bad.

I can't wait for this game. Infinity Ward says that this game will sell more than both COD4 and COD:WaW.

[Chris 245]

This game is going to fucking own.

[EvoLuTioN 38]

I thought I was high or something when i saw the teddybear in the trailer, But Oo its actually there. The game is going to be pretty sweet.

[Ryder Johnson 0]

[Connor 6]

This game is going to fucking own.

x2

Weren't we talking about it a few days ago?

[Ivan 20]

This looks pretty good but I'm tired of FPSs, only ones I'm gonna buy are going to be Bioshock 2 and HL: Episode 3

[Butters! 0]

Just been playing MW1 before I posted here.

The game looks really good, can't wait.

[Blur 13]

Whats up with the teddy bear? LOL. Anyways I'll check this out when its realeased. Never played a COD game before so I guess now would be a good time to start.

[Jace 11]

Does anyone know if MW2 is going to use a new engine? Or are they sticking to the CoD 4 one?

[Connor 6]

the CoD4 engine is epic, it's my current favourite.

[The Bossman 8]

I doubt a new engine will be used, apparently IW have been developing the game either alongside COD4, or even slightly before. I heard it from some other forum, probably fake, but I'd expect a massively enhanced COD4 engine.

[Jace 11]

the CoD4 engine is epic, it's my current favourite.

It's a nice engine, but it really is time to update those visuals. Like, at least attempt to surpass a game that was released in 2007.

But visuals aside, I'd really like some more physics to be built into the game. That's what I actually missed most in COD 4 en WaW. Though that'd only be for the singleplayer though. Physics usually don't really work online..

[TM™ 13]

A new game engine would be awesome. I like the current engine their using at the moment, but they've already used it twice now (CoD4 and WaW), so it would be cool for them to start on a new one. The physics were pretty cool in CoD4 and WaW, and yeah I'd agree with you Jace, there needs to more physics built into the game.

Hopefully Infinity Ward won't let us down, this seems to be promising as ever.

[steveplayer 1]

Treyarch also used the engine for Quantum of Solace. I just want more trailers, give us something more than a frustrating "artistic approach"

[EvoLuTioN 38]

Woah x3

Awesome, just completely... AWESOME.

- Swimming mode enabled.

- A 'Stealthy' Oil pipeline Scuba Mission will be included in campaign mode.

- A level will definetly be based in Rio De Janeiro.

- Siberian Level will feature in campaign mode.

- A 'Helicopter Based' Level will be featured.

- An Oil Tanker level will also be featured.

- Ken Lally (Wesker from Resident Evil 5) will be voice acting. Most likely as a Russian villain.

[EvoLuTioN 38]

Th scuba level is going to be epic. Were we able to drive vehicles in MW1, Or was that only in Crysis?

The first Modern Warfare 2 details have emerged via Game Informer magazine in the US.

The CoD4 follow-up has you (a new recruit) out to stop the new face of global terrorism, Makarov, an associate of baddie Zakhaev from the first game. Soap, the protagonist from the first game, is back as a veteran soldier NPC.

Modern Warfare 2's said to sport a longer single-player campaign with more "open-ended" gameplay then its predecessor - stealth tactics can even be used in missions if the player chooses.

The campaign is said to run at a solid 60fps with environment detail bumped up even further than CoD4.

Riot Shields, movable turrets and customised weapons for single-player are promised, and responding to criticism of CoD4's infinite enemy respawns, Infinity Ward is looking to stay away from these heavy scripting sequences, says the mag.

Players are now more manoeuvrable too; In the game's ice missions (seen in the footage on this page) players will be able to swim and scale ledges, and the snow mobiles are indeed used as a form of escape.

Unlike World at War, co-op will not be available through the game's campaign, though a separate series of co-op missions are planned in "Special Forces mode".

Interestingly, Infinity Ward's also planning a "live patching system" for the game's multiplayer, meaning you won't have to download full-blown patches for the sequel.
