only problem with that is no aiming down sights,so going to be pretty hard getting any kills at a distance

 

[Neoni]

I'm gonna pwn you all when i get this... just you wait...you've been warned.

Those infinity ward guys (from the MP trailer) are half-decent.

 

[blairw]

You'd hope so, the guy went on a total rampage. I bet they just record everything they do in play tests, and that one looked the best cos of all the kills.

 

[Andybtsn]

I think he had enabled god mode or something, he got hit by a rocket ffs! Surely a sprayed bullet would have finished him off too

 

[simo182]

I think that was just splash damage from a rocket. It looks like it went passed him and hit the wall behind.

 

[Wyrdo]

Thanks guys, should be sorted now. Wonder why it looked fine on my browser though.

Looked fine on mine too. Very odd.

And Oneshot, you're banned from using deagles in MW2

 

[SMlFFY]

If I preorder this will I get it the day before its official release?
Have already booked the 10th as a holiday as the wife is on a teaching course, hahaha

This game is going to cause so many arguements between the wife and me

Analysis of the multiplayer.. shows a lot of cool things you might not have spotted watching it normally.

 

[TriedandTested]

The HUD seems different across a number of videos. Maybe it's the game type or they're customisable.

Yeah that was pretty slick.

 

[TriedandTested]

Yeah that was pretty slick.

I didn't see anything I haven't done on numerous occasions.

I guess that makes me pretty awesome too

 

[Jonnycoupe]

I guess it was in the vein of the usual videos I see, loads more responsive, knifes that don't miss, better hit recognition and appearance of lower health of enemys even in a normal health mode.

Pretty much like watching oneshot when your dead.

 

[ONESHOTKILL]

i was saying to faded last night,that a good perk they should have added would be blood trails,like if you wound a guy ,he should leave a blood trail,and you have to have a certain perk to be able to see it and track it.Would help when you shoot the crap out of some one and they just dissapear

I suppose you would get better hit recognition if they are playing locally against each other?

It will still have the same crappy hit detection and lag when we all start playing online.

Whens the beta anyway or are they going to make the mistake of just pumping this out?

 

[ONESHOTKILL]

well i thought they would do a beta,but i am sure the one for cod4 was out a couple months befor game was released,but some people tell me there isnt going to be a beta.

 

[Kreeeee]

You need to be good at a game to balance it properly.

 

[antijoke]

I imagine they have thousands of hours game time, so one would expect them to be masters.

More interesting perks like that would be great!

They did say on the official forums there is going to be no public beta this time although this could change but it's unlikely by the sounds of things.

I wanted to clarify the supposed “news” coming out of GameCom this morning regarding no MW2 Beta.

First, nothing has technically changed by this news. As I’ve told you many times in the past, expect no Public Beta unless we announce otherwise. That is still the case. We would never say something as definitive as “No Beta Ever!” as that’s simply not how we work. We’ll do an internal beta, if we feel a public one is needed, we’ll explore that route as well.

It is true that we have not announced a Public Beta for MW2, and that remains true unless I announce otherwise.

However, while no Public Beta is currently announced we do plan on running an extensive Closed Beta among Infinity Ward, Activision, and possibly 1st party partners worldwide. The internal beta will allow us all the benefits of a public beta test without the impact it takes on the time required to prep, distribute, & manage a public beta during this crucial time in development.

Remember, Multiplayer has been in development since Day 1 of working on Modern Warfare 2, and this is the essential run up to launch when we’re playing everyday, hammering away on it to make sure it’s as polished as can be by launch. As always, our internal QA team has daily multiplayer tests in addition to company-wide nightly MP tests we hold from the moment MP is in a running state throughout development.

Once the internal beta is completed, if for any reason we feel we didn’t receive the feedback, address the issues, or have the result we expect. We would consider pushing forward with a public one, however at this point only an internal Closed Beta is planned.

That said, any fears that no Public Beta will result in any quality loss in the final multiplayer game is completely unfounded; Multiplayer has always been and will always remain a major focus for the team at Infinity Ward and we would never ship a product we didn’t feel lived up to the high standards we hold ourselves to.

While we love public betas for all the obvious reasons, an internal Closed Beta allows us the extra freedom and flexibility to give the entire multiplayer a chance to be widely beta tested without requiring excess development time simply to prep the game for public release instead of an internal beta test which is ran on dev kits / test kits. That fact alone, allows us to have a smoother and faster process of iteration when addressing issues and pushing fixes out to beta participants.

This decision allows us to deliver a more polished experience, which in the end, is what we all want.

Stay informed on Multiplayer

We’ll be filming plenty of Multiplayer videos for you to get a glimpse of new perks, features, killstreak rewards, and other additions you can look forward to in Modern Warfare 2’s Multiplayer. Keep an eye on our Twitter feed (@fourzerotwo) for when we post new videos and subscribe to the Official Infinity Ward YouTube channel.

In addition to the official multiplayer videos and features we release, we’ll be doing more and more multiplayer press from now until launch so you can get your fill of intel before jumping online day 1.
