Modern Warfare 2 Gameplay Footage. Spoilers within, click accordingly.

That mouse looks incredibly uncomfortable. Also why does everything need an LED light on it somewhere. Is it like racing stripes, makes it go faster?

Re: the "What is this?" comment, isn't that a Bluetooth headset?
Yup, the 360 gets the nice neck mic while the PS3 gets a bluetooth one. :\ Would have rather had the neck version, since the PS3 already has a ear piece official headset which is probably far superior to any other ear piece mic for the PS3.

Wonder if those buttons on the back of the controller will work across any game or just MW2.
 
why must all wireless ps3 controllers that aren't sony have a usb stick? at least it looks to be rechargable, but come on, use the freakin bluetooth.
 
I wish they had a solution for someone that wears headphones while playing. That throat thing might be a better solution than having the regular mic around my neck, but I'll still have that useless ear bud piece dangling if I wear headphones.

I tried a pair of headphones that comes with a headset and they had too many issues and the sound quality was awful.

I've done the whole headphone thing before and its a big pain in the ass really. Just get the turtlebeach ones, lol.

I might get that Throat Communicator, do people reckon it will have better sound quality than the official Xbox one.

I don't know about reception, but broadcast quality will be shit. A throat mic is a necessary evil for some situations and is not equal to a standard mic. As I said before, some words and sounds will be muted ("s" sound in particular), and throat clearing will be amplified.

Unless you plan on playing in a factory or a daycare, there is no reason for the throat mic.
 
I like the idea of the Mad Catz Xbox 360 controller, but there are only 2 problems that make me not want the controller:

1. It's from Mad Catz
2. The Camo is horrible
 
I'll buy the throat mic from Amazon.com and just return it if it doesn't work out that well. Amazon has such a great return policy that it's worth trying out. Already have it pre-ordered along with a couple of my other COD4 player friends.

Sucks that the PS3 controller doesn't have rumble. I would have taken rumble over wireless anyway...

It looks good, button wise and everything, but no rumble = no buy for me. :\

Well, rumble is a last gen feature so it does make sense................

Wouldnt the controller faceplates make the buttons harder to press?

A sucker born every minute. :lol

Pretty much. You add some gimmick like throat communication or glowing LED's and people will sucker into buying anything.
 
??? What is this?

ps3 bluetooth mic

you mean on the mouse?
it's a dpi indicator, kinda miss it on my razer mouse -.-
 
I thought these pictures were released a while ago. I saw the mouse and keyboard online somewhere a few days ago, i think it was GAME.co.uk

You're terrible. I'm thinking about picking one up.
Lol, those controllers look god awful.

Have fun with em, though. Lord knows YOU of all people need a new controller as it is anyway, lulz.

Can we get more info about the new perks? enough of this madcats milking bullshit.

What game? All I see is shit to buy. It's like they know everyone and their mom will buy this game, so lets just see what else we can sell to them.

Why is that a bad thing? I'm not a big fan of any of that crap, but if they think it will sell, why not? The controller idea actually sounds brilliant. I wear down my left stick to the point of being loose thanks to sprint being toggled to that so the button on the back would make the most sense.

It's just business; if you have a popular product, sell things to go along with it and you will end up making more money. That's all it is about, dollars and cents.
 
One thing I'd like to see in MW2 is more of those tutorial/rank training levels like in the start of MW. I can't do that thing just once. Somehow, it manages to suck me in for at least an hour everytime. I'd love to see a dozen or so "areas" like that.

Landed in Los Angeles. 48 hrs w/ no sleep & no time to rest now. Our big multiplayer reveal event is tommorrow. Rehersals today. Can't wait!

Not sure if this means another video or some other sort of info soon but perhaps so.
 
It's a press event. People are flying into Los Angeles to see the game (multiplayer based on 402's tweet), do interviews, etc.

Calling all Modern Warfare 2 fans! I'm off to LA next week to see the game and interview the team and I need your questions!

Depending on an embargo or something, we should be getting new information this week.

Nice! I am looking forward to this.
 
Not anticipating getting a whole lot of footage from the event, but hopefully a butt-load of info. Hoping we get more details on multiplayer game modes, perks and for the love of god character customization!
 
Just occurred to me that we've not seen the maximum amount of players allowed on console. The PC would reach staggeringly high numbers in population for MP on COD4, while the 360 was limited to 8 vs 8. Hopefully we'll get some real big team scenarios with 20 player matches.

meh. I've played on some of those PC matches with the high numbers and the experience was always awful. I thought 16 people was just about perfect for the larger maps and once you started going over that number it turns into a bit of a mess.There is a limit to the effective size of players on a COD game before it turns into shit imo and it isn't an especially large number.

God those Madcat crap look like SHIT, why would anyone buy them?

I'm in the market for a new 360 controller and while I'll totally wait for reviews on the MadCatz version, I like the idea of the programmable buttons on the back and perhaps a more tactile grip. They are ugly but that is sort of immaterial to me. Like I said though, I'll totally wait for a review before I plunk down the dough though.

Heh get the digital Camo version and watch it get lost in the carpet.
 
I want a second controller. The customizable buttons look pretty neat. Jump/knife/reload configs, anyone?

I'll wait for reviews though.
