Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 info leaked?

Now-banned play tester supposedly spills the beans...
Below is the rumoured list of details for Infinity Ward's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

They were apparently slapped up on IW's twitter page by a play tester, who's now banned and deleted - which could say alot about their legitimacy.

There's loads in there, from guns you'll be seeing again to new multiplayer game modes. It looks quite credible, if you ask us.

The game's supposedly due out this November, according to the 'leak'.

Check it out below:

  • Vehicles will be in MW2
  • M16 will return, using stopping power will only be OHK at head, neck, and torso (abdomen, limbs, and hands/feet will not)
  • Ak47 and M4 will return, unknown if there are any changes
  • M40 will return, ACOG damage boost will be fixed
  • Scorpion, P90, M21, R700, G3, G360 will not return
  • There are more unknown weapons that will not return
  • New sniper rifle: SR25M (United states forces)
  • New Assault rifle: Diemeco C8 (Canadian forces M4 equivelant)
  • New Assault rifle: L85A2 (United Kingdom forces)
  • Total weapons in multiplayer are said to be around 35
  • Favourite Modern warfare 1 maps will return
  • Helicopters, air strikes, UAV will return
  • Red dot sightings will come in different shapes for multiplayer (circular, square, original)
  • Snipers will have special grass camouflage (As seen in Modern warfare 1's campaign)
  • All perks will return from MW except eavesdrop and others will be altered
  • All gametypes will return from MW and all will have hardcore versions
  • New gametype: Secure (Call of duty version of capture the flag, however you capture the enemy's Intel)
  • New gametype unconfirmed name, similar to search and destroy, however instead of trying to plant a bomb, you try to kill a specified enemy
  • Solider customization for each class (and each country)
  • Sniper with silencers will NOT be in multiplayer
  • There are NO bots in local multiplayer
  • Similar version to Nazi Zombies, however details are unknown
  • NO guest players online, 1 player per console
  • Killcam save feature
  • There is blood and gore
  • Offline/Online Co-op
  • Story takes place in the Middle East
  • Role as US marines return
  • Ken Lally voice work in campaign
  • Release is set for sometime in November
  • New army tags will be available to add different elements in campaign (similar to halo skulls)
  • Campaign-only weapons

All sounds rather obvious and a little boring if you ask me.

Generic even.

Or is that word just for Killzone 2?
Posted by Waste_Manager
They certainly sound believable.

I still need to get the first Modern Warfare.
Posted by Dajmin
Glad to hear there's going to be even more Hardcore modes. I loved the visceral, realistic feel of not having a UI.

It does sound like an expansion with similar content, but since CoD4 was an amazing multiplayer experience, I don't really see that as a bad thing. I hope they expand the multi-kill rewards in some way though - after the helicopter there's no reason to keep going.

Vehicles are a bit of a worry since they didn't work so well in W@W and can be really annoying in BFBC and Halo 3, but I hope IW know what they're doing.

No mention of destructible environments though. I thought that would've been a given this time round.
Posted by Random Hangman
It DOES sound obvious... but then again, if it ain't broke...

I think it's a shame they're adding vehicles to MP though. I haven't tried WAW yet but the general consensus seems to be that the addition of vehicles is a bit rubbish.
Posted by themadjock
Time will tell if they can up their game now Killzone 2's multiplayer looks so sweet.

Finally finished it single player on veteran last night, don't think I will be trying Elite difficulty....
Posted by Mark240473
Well to please CVG, it'll have to have massive dragons for bosses, 30 different types of multicoloured enemies and levels set in a fairground. Oh, and the developers may want to include bullets that change into penguins, which then do a tapdance on your head.

And don't use grey. Just the colours of the rainbow please.

And if they put exploding barrels in the game - woe be tide!

Multiplayer will have to include gay vs lesbian matches and a mode where you fight in a giant bouncy castle and throw shoes at each other. And a co-op mode where you hold hands and dance through the poppy fields looking for bunnies.

Oh, and finally, the story will have to be up to the standard of an Oscar Wilde novel.
Posted by StonecoldMC
I trust IW to make a great game, I just hope they can flesh out the Single Player experience a bit and of course add some co op play.
Posted by leefear1
I am pretty sure you can use the word Generic for other games. It is just that Killzone 2 is such a great fit for the word.
Posted by The_KFD_Case
Sounds a hell of a lot better to me, but then again I adored COD4 and MW2 is one of my most anticipated games for 2009 (hopefully), so I may be biased. KZ2, while it looks great from what I've seen, still strikes me, as a non-PS3 player, as rather humdrum and standard gameplay and story wise. *shrugs* That's not necessarily a bad thing yet when COD4 came out, in my mind at least, it refreshed the FPS genre on the PC and possibly on the consoles as well.

This sounds promising and I can hardly wait to purchase and play MW2! :D

SOLD! Now you're talking! Where can I get one of those games? :lol: :P
Posted by rabbit0147
What about the SAS half of the game. In my view that was the better half of the game.

Also good to see the L85A2 making a debut.
Posted by dravin369
More like modern warfare 1.5. That bit of news was an anticlimax. Still, long way to go.
Posted by _Marty_
Vehicles - Bad
Co-op - Good
Kill Cam Saves - AWESOME! :)

I really hope the SAS missions come back though, definitely the high points of the previous game.
Here's hoping there's more to this above CoD4 than the difference between CoD4 to 5 (i.e. there wasn't much).
Posted by voodoo341
That's not really new, it's not even almost new.
Posted by Mark240473
I thought COD 4 was awesome too. I was just being sarcastic. Killzone 2 is just as awesome as COD4 in every way. The gunplay is even more visceral in my opinion and I think it is a shame that many will miss out on it because of negative remarks about it being generic.

Seriously, the Helghans are the best enemies in any shooter. Ever. I love them and hate them in equal measure!
Posted by davidc
don't want vehicles.....COD is all about on foot warfare.....if i want vehicles i'll play Battlefield....
Posted by BenJy!
COD has always been a multiplayer game, the campaign maybe fun for a little while but the heart of every COD game in my opinion is the multiplayer. In terms of online console gaming theirs nothing that will top it, not even Halo or KZ. :D

Mark, please hand in your notice today and take up game design immediately! KFD and myself will pre-order today! :P
Posted by svd_grasshopper
vehicles were great in 3. they were totally changed in 5, and not for the better.
Posted by Miss_Wacy
wooo, lovely stuff
Posted by _Marty_
A great many more will miss out on it because it's exclusive...
Posted by AndyR
Somebody give this man a job! :D
Posted by Granny
If it ain't broke. Sounds like the SP will carry straight on from the last game.
The vehicle inclusion was obvious looking at the grab of people playing the game that surfaced recently. Chucking in popular maps from the last game - presumably with a re-skin on some - means that if you don't like those with vehicles, you're still likely to be happy.
If they do do zombies, maybe they could do it in daylight in a desert setting and steal a bit of RE5's thunder.
Chuck in sprinting 28 days later zombies infected by some virus thingy and they'd have the Left 4 Dead crowd too.
Whatever happens, this will be he biggest selling title this year.
Posted by Mark240473
I'm with you on the whole exclusive thing. It sucks.

Problem is, how would the different companies compete if they offered the same games? :?
Posted by almanac2015
Vehicles? I seriously hope not, at least not in multiplayer. Aside from the ridiculous dogs, the vehicles in World at War online destroyed it for me.

I like Infantry Ward though, and I hope they have the sense to do vehicles right, if at all...
Posted by Mark240473
:lol:

You haven't witnessed my vision for the rpg yet....

In all seriousness, I'd love for a developer to bring the fun back into gaming. I love realistic games as much as the next man, but I must admit, my game sounds wicked.

And it would most definitely involve martian chickens that speak in a Yorkshire accent because of watching too much Emmerdale Farm.

In fact, their catchphrase could be 'Aye-up, Chick.'

Posted by diddly3000
nothin special i love mod warfare waw was shit hated the crap guns.. but i'd love to see a create a map feature similar to far cry 2 to upload created levels then the game would never get old when it comes out.. even tho i still play cod 4 to this day the maps do get borin at times so would be nice to be able to make your own maps :D :D :D :D :D
Posted by level_up
I know it's only a leak, but so far that doesn't seem like much of a change. Seems like something they could do in a patch (weapon/perk/new mode updates rather than a whole new game).
Posted by Limerick
Gutted to see that the P90 won't be making a return. Not happy about vehicles being in there either. The tanks in W@W were crap and unfairly balanced as it should take like 10 rockets 4 satchel charges and a few grenades. Look at Battlefield which has always had vehicles and they are relatively weak so they don't become a pain in the arse.
Posted by Crispy007
"New gametype unconfirmed name, similar to search and destroy, however instead of trying to plant a bomb, you try to kill a specified enemy"

Its Killzones 2 Assassination mode! I love that mode as you can get some easy kills!

On Topic: Just Seems like COD4 with a few Tweaks here & there, but that not a bad thing as long as the single player campaign is longer than it was in COD4!
Posted by Conkers
I'm pretty sure this type of mode has existed before Killzone 2.
Posted by Granny
Yes, Halo 3 has it.
Posted by minignaz
Sounds just like tweaks, shame it was a good series of games, not it feels like they are milking it. How many is this now, 7 games or so?

TVs are not really comparable it is more the delivery systems that are comparable to gaming. Buy Sky and you get more HD programmes and exclusive programmes. Buy Virgin and you get excellent on demand streaming and a better set top box, Buy Freeview and you get a cheap but limited service. Buy Freesat and you get ITV HD. To get all the services I want I would need to subscribe to them all just like consoles.

All I want is a Pesky Whiney American Kid Zapper that sends an electric shock through their headset. Only a mild shock will do. Nothing too dangerous. Just to let them know who's boss!
Posted by ginsin
A few from that list maybe true, most are probably not. I smell ******** in general though.
Posted by bunneyo
im sure a few weeks back they had a suggestion poll on a twitter website? am i rite? but i gandered and everyone who mentioned vehicles said no, and some added only for traveling long distances, so clearly they haven't listened uh? anyway killcam saves sounds cool :D
Posted by funkyjack
Nothing mind blowing. If they are having vehicles though that could mean some bigger maps which would be nice.
Posted by leefear1
As long as I can turn it up to dangerous levels if they still annoy me after numerous non lethal zapps.
Posted by ginsin
I very much doubt IW will include vehicles in Modern Warfare II.
Posted by bunneyo
lol good shout!

what happened to destructable environments? please say this is still on the cards
Posted by Midjet
It is quite funny how most of this information, i have said i want. Shame the P90 isnt coming back though, hopefully there will be a nice similar gun to take its place.

Only extra thin i was thinking they should have is a new bonus, as well as UAV, Airstrike and Helicopter, say when you get 15 or 20 kills for example, although what this could e i don't know.

I am dissapointed about there being vehicles. In my opinion they are the worst things in World at War, although maybe a small vehicle, maybe with a gun turret would be handy, but idon't want a map like Seelow.

Shame about the BOTS too, i would like them.
Posted by ginsin
Well, Midjet, I wouldn't exactly take that list as gospel just yet. Wait until you hear official word from Infinity Ward.
Posted by VirtualCrack
I thought Halo was probably the only shooter to get vehicles right (except for when NPCs drive them). And I include Half Life 2 in that.
Posted by Midjet
Far from it, i doubt half of the stuff will be in it. I am saying how if that was in the new game, that is what i would think.
Posted by leefear1
Your profile pic is exactly the same as my Windows Live Messenger Pic
Posted by countblammo
The validity of the list seems a little off when it states that "Snipers will have special grass camouflage (As seen in Modern warfare 1's campaign)"

Surely an inside man would know it was called a ghillie suit and that it was available in Modern Warfare?

I'd take it with a pinch of salt personally.
Posted by joemikey
I can understand that there won't be silencers for snipers as it will be too easy for them giving that there's enough perks to keep you hidden.
Posted by flenser_
M4 to return and Diemaco C8 to make an appearance... how bloody lazy - they're the same bloody thing! :lol:

And why on earth wouldn't snipers have silencers?

:?
Posted by svd_grasshopper
silencers are for gimps.

if there is nobody about i blast off my gun and give away my position to reel 'em in.
Posted by lwill
No eavsdrop? It all sounds credible, although, it's not exactly hard to do so is it? I'm just surprised by how few changes they're thinking of doing. Well, judging from the list atleast.

Why the Ak47 and M4 of all weapons? I guess the M4 as it will be real popular with the americans. I will be very dissapointed if there's no SA80. Nice to see the British Sniper rifle though:).

No P90? Maybe they took that out as a 'balancing' thing, shame though.

Oh and Countblammo, the camo on the Gun isn't called a ghillie suit though is it? That's just the clothing itself. Even then, it's hardly the most official list in the world and seeing as it seems to be written of the guys own accord, it's hardly surprising it's not in all the perfect technical terms.
Posted by $$johnman$$
It sounds like they took some of the best guns out.
But this nice to see the SA80a2 in there, i was wondering why it wasnt included in the orginal game.
But none of these details are that shocking, vechicle sections have always been in COD, and noboy expected mulitplayer changes
Posted by countblammo
I read it correctly and the guy said 'Snipers' not 'the camo on the gun'. I guess he could mean the rifle though come to think of it.

Still, I think I will remain skeptical. (if only to protect myself from disapointment :( ) lol
Posted by The Kool Kid
If thats the only changes this series plans to make - a few guns. Then the once brilliant Call of Duty series can go **** itself. They're getting worse than EA and it's sports series now...
Posted by sonne jim
:cry: R.I.P R700, We had a good run :cry:

Still at least I can save your replacment's best kills :D
Posted by gogo65uk
Why release a whole new game for these piddly little things to please the dozen cod4 MW fans? Just patch cod4 MW already. What a waste of time and effort. I wont be buying MW2 thats for sure.
Posted by horngreen
They main reason people hate vehicles in WAW is because if the other team gets them it's tough to win. If your team gets them then the vehicles don't seem so bad :lol:
Posted by spyker66
""New gametype unconfirmed name, similar to search and destroy, however instead of trying to plant a bomb, you try to kill a specified enemy""

so thats not lyk killzone2 search and destroy but it is killzone2 assasination gametype?? is it not??
Posted by voodoo341
Statement from IW
Posted by karimay
I highly doubt MW2 will have vehicles all the other cod games that infinity ward was big in didnt have vehicles..but then again it is a new age and a lot of games are doing it so it is possible
Posted by xWeSt_HaM_SaM-
im extremely excited about this game :) i didnt want to see vehicals in it, but we gotta give it a chance, they could turn out to be good. I think they should only allow tanks on certain game modes like sabotage and domination. dont fail me IW u the best ;)
Posted by johno3
call of duty modern warfare 2 i gunna be the best thing that has happend to this world ad i ca not belive that they are doing something similuar to nizi zombies i would die for it i so wannahave it on the first day it comes out :D :D :D :D :D :) :D :P :P :P :P :P 8) :lol: :lol: :) :D :!: :!: :!:
