that is bad ass enjoii. i cant wait for the death streak thing lol i suck at COD

How is there anything wrong with supressed shotguns? Finally an attachment for shotguns that isn't completely pointless, I can't f*cking wait to go around destroying people with a silenced DAO-12, it's like a dream come true.

DOES NOT EXIST. Strikers cant take silencers, as well as most of the f*cking shotguns.

 

You may as well shove a silencer on a deagle and break all rules in firearms.

 

But I am not really bothered by any of the news, its like once you have heard such stupid sh*t, stuff just stops effecting you, I already know its not going to remotely attempt realism, but go down the invincible one man army over the top insane action movie route. I wonder if you can roundhouse kick people, or maybe kill people then leave them with a christmas hat on while sat on an office chair in a lift just after you took their mp5.

 

Btw the Idea of having a shotgun instead of a pistol IS f*ckING DISCUSTING. Or even a smg. I dont like the idea of suffering out just because I prefer pistols and like it to be at least remotely realistic. If there is no downside to having a anything other than a pistol as sidearm, what is the point? You may as well just allow you to take 3 guns.

Experience Boosts Galore. It seems like you get experience point bonuses for doing damn near anything in the new game. I'm not just talking headshots; any stylish or meaningful kill is going to give you some kind of experience boost. Kill a guy just before he's about to get a kill streak? Bonus. Take out the guy who just killed you? Bonus. Get the last kill in a match? Bonus. IW says the leveling (which now caps at level 70) has been tweaked to take the faster accumulation of points into account, and you'll get something gameplay-related for prestiging this time around. They aren't saying what, though.

[Vanillainy]

Info overloaddddddddddddd.

 

I want to know what you get for prestiging, because after doing it in CoD4 I doubt I'd want to do it again.

[asimov]

DOES NOT EXIST.

 

 

Seems impractically big though, maybe having them on shotties will effect it's mobility badly or something to balance it a bit.

[Daz]

I cannot view whatever image you linked, I am at work. I am guessing its a picture of a silenced shotgun, proabably the .410 hushpower. WHICH IS NOT WHAT I SAID DIDNT EXIST IF YOU f*ckING READ THAT sh*t.

 

Not only are shotguns not built to be used with silencers, its pointless anyway. Not to mention looks f*cking sh*t.

 

Dont lecture me on guns,

 

ill ave you.

 

 

 

 

Daz is calm

 

(so f*ck off if you dont think so)

Apparently you can now shoot down the UAV;

 

UAV (3 kills) – Exposes enemy locations on your radar. This is the very same unmanned aerial vehicle from CoD 4. So what makes the perk different in Modern Warfare 2? They can be shot down. Actually, everything can be shot down.

 

And a bit of info on Death Streaks;

 

After three consecutive deaths with no kills, players are awarded a little bonus of their choice (assuming they’ve unlocked all of them). The default bonus is Copycat, which allows a player to steal his killer’s class for one round, and get a taste of the weapons and perks of a more advanced player. The next one unlocked, and the last one we saw, is Painkiller, which affords players 10 seconds of extra health after they respawn – great for when you’re being spawn camped.

[Roastyleg]

Enjoii, ur a freak at giving us info, good stuff mate =)

[Daz]

What really is the point of the deathstreaks? Surely nobody can be that bad enough to not even get one kill. I know it can happen but its not going to be very frequent.

 

Also I was thinking what would be cool for a perk at level 70 or before. A "perk killer" perk, have it use up your perk 2 and 3 slots, but it will also make any other perk ineffective towards you, such as martydom, last stand, stopping power, juggernaut, deep impact, etc. To an extent, so you can play it naturally if you like.

[Grand Theft Auto Dude]

Woooow, didnt expect this much info. Looking awesome, the perks look great (the 'pro' system should work well), and the revamped equipment and secondary system seems great (but any weapon + AA12 seems overpowered).

[Roastyleg]

I wish they would go all out on the graphics for pc, utilize dx11 when its out but oh well should look good non the less.

[saintdave]

I love you enjoii and IW. God bless Modern Warfare!

 

I don’t recall reading about it so far but I may have missed it, have they mentioned whether claymores will be in this one? I cant snipe or do much stealth without them in COD4 so I’d be a bit disappointed if they were not in MW2.

[ScratchCard]

Lol, 'Copycat' sounds like a move a Pokémon would use.

Nothing has been confirmed as far as I know, but I can't see any reason for them to be removed.

 

 

A bit of info on callsigns:

No, you weren't clear. Between the random babbling and tough guy act I often have no idea what your talking about.

 

The deathstreak idea is ok I guess, it won't really be that much help to new players though. Any perk/weapon setup is effective with a good player. The ability to shoot down UAV's kind of sh*ts me though, it's going to make hardcore modes more or less UAV-free

[The-King]

I'm not digging the shotguns and SMGs as sidearms thing much, it essentially makes Overkill a completely useless perk, though it will give me a reason to carry a shotgun for once and it'll also make snipers more versatile as well, which is rather cool. Still, not too big on it.

 

I'm really hoping we get to customize each class's appearance, I was never really bothered that we couldn't do it before, but it would be a cool touch so we could further customize our classes, and the idea isn't really out of the question given the amount of customization they're already affording us.

[ScratchCard]

Has any info been released about the trophy's/achievements?

[Enjoii]

Has any info been released about the trophy's/achievements?

Nope, and personally I wouldn't expect anything for quite a while. I just hope that there aren't any MP achievements.

Same here.. but that's just because I suck at multiplayer in games and have a hard time getting them..

 

What is your reason then?

[Enjoii]

Well, Infinity Ward have said many times that they dislike multiplayer achievements and feel that everybody should be able to unlock all achievements, even if they can't get online.

 

Personally, I don't like them. They only promote boosting even further, and for many games are just a bad attempt at getting completionists to play the game for longer.

[saintdave]

MP trophies/achievements aren’t so bad as long as they aren’t one long grind. Done correctly they could be fun to go for whilst playing online. Resistance 2 had some bad online trophies but Red Faction on the other hand had ones more realistic to get within a certain time period.

It is impossible for everyone in a game to average more than one kill per death, you know.

 

Do you really think nobody is bad enough to die three times in a row? Of course it's not going to happen frequently, that's why there's a pity reward for it.

[Enjoii]

Oh, and for anybody that was wondering about it, Infinity Ward staff (Jason West, I think) has said that there will be no beta or demo before release.

Wtf are you on about.

 

1: I swear alot, and every time I do, this happens, some c*nt comes in and goes on about how im being a c*nt, well c*nt the c*nt off for f*ck sake. (hence the *is calm* statement to indicate DO NOT f*ckING GO OFF ON ONE SO f*ck OFF)

 

2: Now that I am able to view the video that has nothing to do with what I was saying. Someone mentioned having a silenced DAO-12 (Striker) and I said that does not exist, much like silencers on deagles and such. I didnt say silenced shotguns dont exist. And most of all my point was it defeates the whole purpose of using and wanting a shotgun. Its like replacing a V8 with a V6 in a muscle car. May as well kill self.

 

 

As for the UAV thing, though I love the UAV for killing masses of enemies, its also better now due to the fact it will be less likely to be online. Therefore at least if ours gets shot down, so can theirs. And I wont be stuck in a vortex of people using UAV's constantly and getting arse raped at the spawn. It would be nice for a change to only be found because of line of sight not by aircraft that can see through buildings.

 

 

 

@Weirdal: For some reason I asumed it would only be available until you got a kill, due to the fact they said for people with multiple deaths and 0 kills. Soon as you get a kill you dont get it anymore. I dont know. The whole idea of it seems alittle weird. Especially if its less than 5 deaths in a row. It might get alittle whorey with everyone ending up with more health all of a sudden.

I've played with people who went 0-20 even though their team won, so it'll certainly balance out the game for the less experienced players a lot. Not everyone is an ace player like some of us and frankly it's a really cool idea.

[Robinski]

Serious information overload at the moment. I've only watched one or two videos (thanks enjoii) and read one article but it's going to take a while to absorb all this.

 

On the (apparently quite volatile) subject of silenced shotguns: I think they seem a bit out of place. Personally, I don't realy give a sh*t if it's possible in real life or not it's how it affects the game that matters. Traditionally shotguns in games have been the loud thing that kills whatever in within it's stupidly unrealistic range of 15 feet with a roar and a bite. it just doesn't suit videogame shotguns being silent. I even valued this in CoD4 by having a stealth set with UAV jammer, dead silence and a M1014 and my philosophy with that class was that " once they knew where I was it was too late". But then again, as I've said previously in here, let's just wait and see if IW deliver.

 

Also, not sure if Enjoii has already posted it, that little information machine, but here's IGNs Impressions.

[Chargr]

Nice info, only disappointment is the dual SMG's and pistol/smg side arm. I loved using the pistol.

[baptiste]

Wow, Famas and Magnum.

 

Teh sh*t.

 

 

Edit: If I may mention this, switching between 2 primaries in Cod4 took much longer than between a primary and a pistol. And not having saved those seconds by picking up a second primary when switching weapons has been the cause of many deaths. So dont despair yet.

 

Although I must admit that a Sniper+SMG/Shotty is going to be teh sh*t.

 

Anyway the extra firepower that a second AR or SMG has is only usefull when running out of ammo, the pistol's deadly accuracy, high maneuvrability and decent power is usually better. I suppose an AR+SMG combo gives you more flexibility, but I dont think it's overpowered.

Apparently none of you have seen No Country for Old Men.

 

A suppressed shotgun will literally be tits. Gigantic floppy funbag tits.

 

The new information is awesome. Hopefully you can piss people off by destroying their tac insertion pt thing before they die.

Agreed, although I do hope they make it stubby and fat like in the film, because according to the videos I see, they seem to have mashed a pistol or rifle silencer on the end, and that looks f*cking ugly.
