Modern Warfare 2 Preview - Multiplayer Snow Map Revealed?
Post by Steve Farrelly @ 04:40pm 23/06/09 | 14 Comments
We were given some extensive access to Modern Warfare 2 at this year's E3 in the way of a behind-closed-doors demo that showed off much more of the game's single-player campaign in the snow.

On top of being able to see a lot of the game's advancements in both a technical and gameplay sense, we also asked a few sneaky questions about items such as multiplayer and just why they dropped "Call of Duty" from the game's title.

If you're keen for a more in-depth look at what will arguably be the most successful game this year, check out our full preview.

I also think a multiplayer map with NPCs you need to avoid would be cool - but I highly doubt that would ever make it through...

How would that even work in multi?

negative XP :P

Maybe just a no fire situation or something... it could be implemented

I know AA2 had some maps where there were NPC's, they either didn't move or had terribad AI, if you hit them it's violating the rules of engagement. I also doubt they would have something like that in CoD.

i think steve is saying an NPC group that can shoot you. so you have to avoid them at all costs while trying to find the enemy. would work great in a team based fps game

I've always wanted this in a multiplayer game ever since playing BF2. Would add the "think before you shoot" element sorely lacking in current games - and would be a vast improvement than the old "friendly fire on" which is a bitch when you have retards in game.

Possible punishments could include more than just -xp.
For example:

- Weapon jam for "X" seconds
- Forced weapon drop without recovery
- Mirror health loss
- Shock of killing an innocent (think of really bad flashbang) perhaps?

Heaps of different ways to add this into gameplay

I have it. I played the campaign in 6 hours, 2 minutes. I played multiplayer for 2 days, ranking up (frustratingly having to UNLOCK hardcore mode, rather than just having it as a mode you can play from the get-go). I blue screened at the end of one game on the 3rd day. I log back on. I have to start from scratch, at Private, level 1. I have lost the will to play. I havnt touched it in 2 days. Lack of dedicated servers added to this loss of morale.

Dont buy it unless you dont care about having the multiplayer matchmaking system join you to games with shitty ping, when there are better ones out there. Or if it doesnt auto-balance the teams, and your on your own fighting 7 enemies.
