Bad news about Modern Warfare 2

No more Captain Price.

One of COD4's two heroes, Sergeant "Soap" MacTavish, has been promoted to captain in the Special Air Services (SAS), Britain's equivalent of the US Navy SEALs. Now part of a new commando unit, MacTavish will guide players through a series of grueling missions, including an ice-climbing infiltration of a frozen Russian army base.

On the other hand...

Once again, political instability inside a fictional near-future Russia threatens the world--this time, in the form of a terrorist organization hinted at by a March teaser trailer.

I hope it's Russia/CIS only. I don't want anymore of that Middle East crap, although I agree the satire in COD4 was good.

In terms of gameplay, Modern Warfare 2 will address the issue of infinitely spawning enemies, a major criticism of the original game.

Yay.

If they get rid of the infinite enemies, thats a big improvement. But my issue was COD4 was the online. It was laggy, and i hated the perks. I don't want perks. remove those and i'm happy

get rid of those dumb perks like amrtyrdom stopping power and juggernaut keep the cool ones this game is gonna be perfect!

You can't keep a character around forever. Although I did like Cpt. Price I think it's possible that 4 years later he has probably been promoted to a position off the frontlines/battlefield.

[spoiler] he died at the end of COD4, so I don't quite get how anyone even expected him to return in the first place? [/spoiler]

If Infinity Ward makes the following changes then I will be ecstatic about this game:

- Get rid of infinitely spawning enemies in single player

- Modernize the save system

- Make the game longer than 5 hours

- Fix the spawn system in multiplayer

- Fix the lag issues in multiplayer. At the very least fix bullet lag, I'm tired of dumping half a clip into a guy and not getting a single tick.

- Get rid of the 3x frag perk. I don't care about martyrdom. I don't care about SP/Juggernaut. The only one that I want to see die is 3x frag because it does nothing except encourage people to blind throw grenades all over the map for the duration of the match.

[spoiler] It wasn't clear if he died, the medics were resuscitating him. And he was a captain in WW2, he's obviously immortal. [/spoiler]

lookign foward to this game I still play cod4

The COD4 was quite entertaining but i wish it would be less linear, it would be fun to have several ways in which to approach a mission instead of having to do the same thing you did last time over and over. Infinite enemy spawns and indestructible helicopters blow the realism too. You can only kill the helicopter if Price is screaming at you to do it.

EDIT: Nevermind. I was wrong.

How did Price die in the nuke if that was the US Marines and Price is in the Brit SAS?unrealplaya55

I don't care, CoD4s characters had as much personality as a fire hydrantFurzjodler

Very true. If the multiplayer is any good I might look into getting it.

I don't really care about capt Price.

I thought CoD4 to be one of the most over-rated games.. With a completely subpar singleplayer littered with stuff I have seen in FPS's in the 90s.. This including extremely awful AI, that is sorted out with throwing unrealistically large amounts of guys with a endless respawn intill you get to a certain part.. The enemy also purposely targets you 80% of the time even when you have friendly soldiers in the wide open right next to you while your in cover.. The game is also painfully PAINFULLY linear, it is the most recent game I can remember where I was cut off by a wooden picket fence.. No physics to speak of, apparently metal barrels are cemented to the ground and able to sustain everythign short of a tank shell.. The multiplayer was all right but it by no means was better than the numerous slew of other multiplayer FPS's out there... So yeah I think losing captain Price in my eyes is irrelevent, they better fix these outdated mechanics with something that actually compares to games like Crysis..sSubZerOo

COD games have always been the height of the excellence of linear first person shooters. a non linear call of duty simply wouldn't be call of duty. sure, sandbox games have their place, but highly scripted action sequences have their place as well. i hope the series continues on its linear path and doesn't sway to recent pressure to become sandboxy. the sp campaign was meant to be gone through and enjoyed, the mp was clearly the mainstay component of the game.

thank god. infinitely respawning enemies completely ruins single player.

The multiplayer is awesome. Granted it definitely has its problems (a few controversial/broken perks, lag, and perhaps the worst spawn system ever seen in a multiplayer game) but it's extremely fast paced and the addition of levels, rewards, and achievements makes it extremely addictive. And of course there's all the perks, weapons, and weapon mods which allow you to fine tune a class that best matches your playing style. Considering the immense popularity of COD4's online multiplayer I think most people would beg to differ on your opinion that COD4 is merely average.

Also, complaining about the single player in COD4 is kind of pointless considering that few people bought it for the single player experience.

Sure CoD4 was fun at first, for me, but all i found myself doing in multiplayer was leveling different guns to gain rank... to do it all over again. The fun just didn't make it passed the first few weeks for me. The game held its trade-in value though.The sp campaign was great and i hope they imrpove on it for this one.

Picking on CoD for having linear gameplay is like picking on Starcraft for ****ty graphics.

I'll try to explain it to you.

Everyone knows CoD has linear gameplay.

Everyone knows Starcraft has bad graphics, but good gameplay.

Picking on the fact that CoD is linear and not something else is like picking on Starcraft because it has poor graphics. You know what you're getting into.

I'm sorry I facepalmed. I should have anticipated the typical starcraft fanboy response to graphics.

What is the official name of this game anyway, will it use the CoD moniker cause I'm seeing most sites refer to it as just modern warfare 2.spiderman120988

Remove any gun which alters a player's health or gun's damage. Also remove hc mode as it is terrible and ruined the competitive community.
