Oh come on, CoD4 didn't look that bad, especially for being 60fps, what's with all the bitching? - http://www.gametrailers.com/player/22600.html - http://www.gametrailers.com/player/26530.html
That said, the explosions in MW2 look pretty weak... WaW was better with explosions iirc. Although the smoke blur effect was awesome, like when you look at the exhaust behind the tank you escort through in War Pig.

Good thing I was talking about CoD:United Offensive and not CoD2 then.unomas said:
Kind of disappointed in that teaser. Graphically, it looked exactly the same as CoD4 which really isn't very impressive anymore especially coming after KZ2 which dwarfs it. But that really isn't the important part; if it's just a bunch of scripted set pieces with the same weaksauce AI, gunplay, and respawning enemies coupled with a multiplayer component that is largely the same as the previous two then I think I'm going to pass just like I've done on all the new iterations of guitar hero and rock band.
Maybe it's just what I've come to expect from a publisher like Activision milking series for all they're worth without shaking things up a bit. Hopefully I'm proven wrong and this game is genuinely worth the hype it's getting from all of these early advertisements and the press. But somehow I think it'll be just another call of duty game.
The series needs a break. I kind of like how games like Halo, Gears, Uncharted and KZ only come around once every 2-4 years.

To the people that are criticizing the graphics (which looks pretty hot even from that short teaser), keep in mind that this shit will run at a silky smooth 60fps at all times. Call me when your other high profile FPS/TPS games can claim that. 60fps makes all the difference IMO.

Oh swell, they managed to impress a GI rep, it surely must be awesome then.
Pasta sauce didn't really do that much in WAW, IMO. It just looked goofy, and took away from the immersion.TEH-CJ said:
They always say that the more realistic you try to make a game, the easier it is for even the smallest inaccuracy ruin the illusion. I'd rather just have the game be a better experience overall -- gore lends nothing to that goal.

This. I would love to see arms/legs flying off when a guy gets hit with a grenade or something. Guys crawling to safety if shot in the leg, praying if you shoot them and they don't die right away..things like that. Think saving private ryan, in 60fps of course.

Looks pretty decent. I don't think it shows enough to judge the snow environments, or any changes to the graphics engine, properly.
I'm hoping for proper AI and no more infinitely spawning troops. If those things are fixed, it'll be all good!

Really? The build up of intensity when you first land on the boat/city? The "Oh shit!" moments from the opening cutscene to the end of the city level? The excellent pacing of the entire (yet short) title (see: gunship sequence)?MickeyKnox said:
None of that was "redeeming" at all?
Who pissed in your cheerios? Modern Warfare was a great title. I wouldn't call it the best of the generation, but it's definitely up there.
I'm completely fine with people disliking CoD4, to each his own
But to say that CoD4's graphics engine was crap is a farcical lie.
No, it's not Crysis, it's not Killzone. But the fact that Infinity Ward was able to deliver a 60 frames-per-second experience in both single player and multiplayer with visuals like that back in 2007 earns them the benefit of the doubt, in my humble opinion.

I preordered this bad boy today.
CoD4 on PS3 was excellent so I am confident in trusting MW2 will be as well.

I predict navy seals and some faction from canada to be the main focus of the game.
I hope they include the mp7, fn fal, an94, dsr-1, and mk.17. I also want the eotech sight for the m4 or hk416 in the multiplayer.
I see a glock in the snowmobile scene.
What would be awesome for the multiplayer is if they introduce a new gun economy system for the multiplayer. I want it to be something like in Operation 7 where you can buy with in game currency, separate parts of a gun so you can customize your m4 the way you want it.

you got no clue what Modern Warfare is about online, its all about fast paced on foot action (varies depending on mode obviously) also where do you supose IW will fit them in these on the small to medium size maps?
at least... leave Vehicles in MP for games such as ARMA II, OPFP II & BF series thank you very much
:lolShishka said:
I'll defend the vehicles in Halo to the grave; you guys have balanced that shit out and made driving them a blast. But I've played to many FPS games with crap vehicles and even lousier balancing. The guys at IW know how to make on foot combat feel like sex and in no way do I want them to muddy that up with vehicles.
Look what happened when they added helicopters
:lol @ people judging the game's technical side using a really, really short teaser trailer.
I'm happy if it looks like CoD4. I'm more interested in the 60fps and the awesome scripted scenes thank you very much. Really liked that aspect of CoD4. It was intense as hell and really awesome if you just played along.

I really don't get what is so epic about being a gunner miles up in the sky shooting up infantry soldiers on the ground. The voice work was nauseating.
I have finished every COD game yet I have only ever played each one once or twice. I think of them the same as Gears/MGS/Uncharted: absolutely amazing single player experiences but I don't want to taint that memory by playing them again. COD4 was absolutely amazing the first time I played it and it took about year for a single player game to come along that provided more fun/excitement/enjoyment (Gears 2).
So I know for a fact the same thing will happen again this November: I will buy it Day One (probably pay more to get it a few days early), finish it in a weekend and enjoy every damn second...then I'll never play it again. And I'm ok with this scenario FWIW and I know it's incredibly early footage, I think it looks very good.

The "filter" of it, sound, just made you kinda believe you were there. I saw lots of that flir-type footage before. It just created a believable environment. And, what's wrong with raining death from above like that? The enemy, at night, not knowing when/where to expect tons of lead being thrown at them. Awesome stuff.
But yeah, the voice work was horrid.
Personally, I'd rather they put me in the pilot's seat of an A-10 making a strafing run on them with the main gun and bombs, though
Death From Above and All Ghillied Up were both great missions. Some of the best in any FPS of recent memory. I don't get how anyone can complain about the gunship level. The voice work was well done imo. Hopefully MW2 can have a few missions that come close to those.
They really need to get rid of the constantly respawning enemies though.

That segment was really awesome in CoD4 but I sorta laughed when they showed that there'd be something similar in CoD6. It was awesome because of how unexpected it was and how eerie the "combat" felt. I can't imagine how they could impliment it again without the majority of players saying "oh, this thing again" or "oh yeah I remember this from the last one". I'm hoping that IW tries to surprise gamers with something new again. If they want to do that death from above thing, have your plan get attacked all the sudden, crash, and transition into an awesome night level.J-Rzez said:The "filter" of it, sound, just made you kinda believe you were there.

The snow reminded me: before I start forgetting, I saw a dream a couple of days ago that the game takes place in Alaska, somewhere in Canada, Rio De Janeiro, Australia, somewhere in the US and South Africa.
I played one map (in my dreams ofcourse) that resembled streets of Toronto (particularly Yonge street: Foggy, snowy and destroyed due to battle).
You know it's messed up when you see dreams about games not yet released :/

Another mission like "All Ghillied UP" please.
