Left, is official Favela map preview in Ghost. Right in first uncut mp gameplay for MW2. Same enemy placement, same script, same kills, same weapons switching. Fan service or using same script ?

 

[Ark]

Haven't they done this before? Doesn't bother me really, it's the same map after all.

 

[VisceralBowl]

I don't see what is wrong here. The announcer is pretty annoying though. Trailer would have been better if it was without that guy.

 

[HowZatOZ]

Well considering they used the exact same animations from the ending of Modern Warfare 2 it may just be one giant fan service. That or they did copy paste the same script.

 

[mgs2master2]

You mean Call of Duty does not reuse assets or is not the same game every year? NO way?

 

[nhlducks35]

Fan service

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Fan service

 

[EBE]

fan service of a promo video though?
like how does that make sense.

 

[OccamsLightsaber]

The trailer that made me finally buy a PS3 and MW2. I see what you're doing Activision.

 

[Poltergust]

Haven't they done this before? Doesn't bother me really, it's the same map after all.

Isn't this actually what you were referring to? I think this is old.

EDIT: Oh, the video was uploaded today? Hm, I guess this really is a separate thing.

 

[JayEH]

It's a throwback, nothing wrong with them doing that. There's no "lazy devs" story here.

On a sidenote, this trailer was freaking sick for MW2, got me so hyped!

 

[Wario64]

They probably did this knowing that fans will compare the two

 

[soultron]

It's always hilariously obvious that promotional MP videos are rehearsed.

 

[VisceralBowl]

It's always hilariously obvious that promotional MP videos are rehearsed.

The worst stuff is the dialogue they sometimes try to present between the players.

 

[Boss Mog]

Doesn't surprise me after the copy/paste job they did for a Ghosts cutscene that they just took right out of MW2's ending.

[demolitio]

Fan service but the announcer kind of ruins it and only makes it seem deceitful.

The rest of the game is my issue...lol

 

[Syph Medwes]

Wait wait wait wait they brought back Favela? Holy shit

"OH ME, OH MY -- SLAY0R WITH THE SIIIIIIIIIICK 3-PIECE ON THAT! HASHTAG REKT!"

 

[Ambition]

Favela is back? Shiiiiiieeeeet.

 

[SomeOneInaHat]

Favela is back? Shiiiiiieeeeet.

A perfect word to describe Favela

Nothing wrong with this. It's done on purpose, why are you surprised?

They brought back Favela, a classic. This is great actually, very "nostalgic".

I agree, I cracked a smile just thinking about how many time I watched then re-rewatched that original video, MW2 was hype.

 

[Hip Hop]

[Untracked]

It's a shame this great map will now play like arse with Ghost's garbage spawn system.

I really hope Sledgehammer go back to how things were in Cod4 & MW2 for the new game.

 

[TheSeks]

It's a shame this great map will now play like arse with Ghost's garbage spawn system.

So, the same as CoD6's then?

 

[Horse]

Favela was amazing for handgun and tac-knife runs.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

I expected similarities, but some sections are completely identical. If that is 'fan service' then it was a mistake, as it isn't doing fans any service, just making the dev look bad.

 

[kuYuri]

You serious OP? This is a very obvious throwback and fan service to that Modern Warfare 2 video. Nothing nefarious about it.

C'mon now.

 

[unempLLOYD]

Throwback my ass

 

[Neuromancer]

It's an homage

 

[The Last Wizard]

You serious OP? This is a very obvious throwback and fan service to that Modern Warfare 2 video. Nothing nefarious about it.

C'mon now.

Haters gon hate

I can't wait to play favela again, loved it in mw2.

 

[HolyFridge]

Love it. Brings back awesome memories from the MW2 days.

 

[KJRS_1993]

Definitely fan service.
Don't be ridiculous and say they remade a trailer entirely in a different game due to laziness.
Anyone who does instantly goes on my "never take this muppet seriously again" list.

Dude it was the point. Read the descripion of the official video

Description taken from video

"Why does this look so familar? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4PMRFkx07g"

It was clearly done on purpose

 

[Calmine]

Even says in the video description. Why does this look familiar? With a link to the MW2 video. So it pretty much fan service. Perhaps attempt to bring out same excite everyone got when MW2 was first shown.

 

[velociraptor]

MW2 was the fucking GOAT.

Best Call of Duty game released of ALL TIME.

 

[Druz]

Everyone keeps telling fan service. The endings being identical with the same animation is not fan service it's placeholder trash left in due to laziness.

 

[Mr.Marston]

Is this a serious thread? Its a tribute to MW2.

 

[Dopus]

MW2 was the fucking GOAT.

Best Call of Duty game released of ALL TIME.

COD2 was. It went downhill after that.

 

[Jito]

MW2 was the fucking GOAT.

Best Call of Duty game released of ALL TIME.

MW2 was pretty terrible, beginning of the end.

Still remember the day and reason I sold it:

• Game starts on that trench level
• Other team all have grenade launches equipped
• They fire from their spawn to ours as soon as the game begins, destroying our entire team.

Also stackable killstreaks is retarded.

 

[Odrion]

The "it's a homage!" defense is being used for promotional gameplay footage for DLC? Really?

 

[Horse]

MW2 was the fucking GOAT.

Best Call of Duty game released of ALL TIME.

Let me tell you about CoD 4...

 

[OldAsUrSock]

They couldn't think of a better trailer to honor the best Call of Duty.

 

[The Mean]

What if this was some hilarious metacommentary from the devs about the reuse of assets in modern Infinity Ward Call of Duty games?

 

[Aeriscloud]

Let me tell you about CoD 4...

Nah, you don't have to, Velociraptor got it right.

 

[Horse]

Nah, you don't have to, Velociraptor got it right.

No.

Spoiler

Well we all have different tastes

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

It's an homage

Keep drinking that Hatorade there bud.

What? oh god no. no, no D:

 

[velociraptor]

What? oh god no. no, no D:

You know it's true.

- Great visuals
- Best maps
- Best weapons
- Best gameplay
- Best killstreaks

 

[PetriP-TNT]

MW2 was amazing. Loved it.

Favela was the worst map though. Okay not as bad as the house on the hill one though.

 

[Untracked]

So, the same as CoD6's then?

Well, I played an embarrassing amount of MW2 and I never once saw an enemy spawn in front of me in Team Deathmatch. It happens often in every cod since.
I vaguely remember someone saying they changed it after MW2 to stop spawn trapping, but it broke the game for me. They made the maps more open too, which didn't help.
TDM went from teams working together to try and hold the best position on a map, to a free for all clusterfuck, spawning anybody anywhere.
Spawning players in an enemy's line of sight should never be acceptable.
MW2 would gladly spawn you into enemy killstreaks but that's what Cold-Blooded was there for...
I should probably stop typing now.
