Modern Warfare 2

New Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer details

New details about the demo Infinity Ward showed them during the GameStop conference – which is going on this week in Las Vegas. First off, during the demonstration, Infinity Ward showed off the player using dual Uzi submachine gun weapons and gunning down the enemy opposition. As the demo went on, they also showed off the Special Forces mode and Breach and Clear mode. Although looking excellent and exciting, nothing really new was showed during these modes, he said.

The most excited aspects he said he saw, though, were the use of a riot shield and recovery of teammates. The riot shield is pretty much what you'd expect. It provides some cover and acts very similarly to the shield from Gears of War 2. Near the later part of the demonstration, Infinity Ward showed players rescuing fallen teammates during a Breach and Clear mission. Players were able to go over to other players and rescue them, very similar to Left4Dead in style he described it as. Finally, players will also be able to throw knives in multiplayer. No more getting up-close and personal with your knife. Now you can toss a knife at an opposing player during multiplayer bouts and take them out with a knife to the face.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is just a couple months away from being released to the masses. With so much still in the dark about the game, it’s nice to see Infinity Ward showing off some new content.
