Virtual_Boy Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Spec Ops Co-Op Mode 'Earning all 69 stars in Spec-Ops will take as long as finishing singleplayer will.' Spec-Ops is broken down into 5 groups 1.ALPHA 2.BRAVO 3.CHARLIE 4.DELTA 5.ECHO 23 Co-Op missions Includes: AC130 - You are in a AC130 and your friend is on the ground ASSAULT - Take down targets in a set time while avoiding civilions Snow Mobile Combat & Time Trials - Race and shoot against your friend. 1. You can play Spec-Ops in single player if you want but you wont get far 402 say's 2. Spec-Ops can be played in SPLITSCREEN or XBOX LIVE 2 players MAX Online Summary Online Rank > Level 70 Custom Class Slots = 5 New Perks Bling - Two primary weapon attachments at the same time, like a red-dot sight and a silencer Scavenger - Get a full ammo replenishment from a dead enemy Hardline - Each Killstreak bonus costs 1 kill less Commando – Increased Melee Distance Marathon - Unlimited sprint Lightweight - Move faster Cold-Blooded - Undetectable by UAV, air support, sentries and thermal Akimbo - Duel Wield Sidearms There's a Pro level for each perk, which will extend or improve the chosen skill when you complete a challenge. Equipment Slots Frags Semtex Throwing Knives Tactical Insertion Blast Shield Killstreaks 3 = UAV 4 = Care Package/Counter UAV 5 = Sentry Gun/Predator Missile 6 = Precision Airstrike 7 = Attack Helicopter 9 = Pave Low 11 = AC130 Gunship Deathstreaks 3 = Painkiller – Increased Health On Respawn 4 = Copycat – Copy Other Players Class Maps Confirmed Afghan: This is a huge map with an enormous crashed airplane in the middle of a valley in the center. The terrain is rocky with a central cave system that has three points of entry, and multiple low-slung buildings with wide windows that make excellent sniper spots. Domination was the best gametype on this map, since all three target points have multiple access points. Also a great spot to launch Predator Missiles onto the heads of unsuspecting enemies as they flee for the cave. Favela: A medium-sized map inside a multiple-level ghetto. You can scurry across rooftops, climb from building to building, or use the sidewalks and stairs to get around. Great for Capture the Flag matches; especially with the multiple levels giving you plenty of opportunity to escape, or nail the flag carrier. Sentry Gun perks work great on this map in CTF mode, in effect giving you an extra defender on the flag. High-Rise: Centered around a helipad and air-conditioning station between two towers on a skyscraper. You spawn on opposite sides in offices. We had fun recreating the "Schiess Dem Fenster" scene in Die Hard. This is a smaller map, but contains tunnels, rooftop perches, and lots of nooks and crannies. We noticed nice details like pipes that blow steam if you pop a round into them. Gametypes Confirmed Domination, Assault, Team Deathmatch & Capture The Flag Misc Instead of just a call sign, which is now expanded to four characters instead of three, you can chose your own emblem and title. Your emblem starts as a pair of dog tags and moves up to rank patches. These are unlocked as rewards, and there are seven pages of emblems and twenty-two pages of titles. Where will you see this stuff? For example, if someone shoots down an AC-130, their card will appear onscreen – emblems, titles, and all. As for weapons there's a new Launchers category, which includes rocket launchers and the "Thumper" grenade launcher there are tons of new weapons like Machine Pistols which with the Akimbo perk, you can dual-wield these and a few other smaller weapons. All of the camo skins are back, with some additions, and attachments, including an under-slung shotgun and a heartbeat sensor for the assault rifle. You can also select a Riot Shield as your main weapon, which protects you from most primary fire. It's wise to crouch while using it though, so you don't get your feet blown off. You can melee attack with the shield (two hits for a kill), although you'll have to switch to a secondary to shoot. The Throwing Knife is a nice addition, giving you a ranged one-hit kill if thrown properly. The good news is that if you miss, you can run over and snag it off the ground and use it again. The coup de grace is the new Game Winning Kill Cam, which gives everyone a slow-motion shot of the kill that won the match. Perfect for gloating, or reminding you how badly you screwed up by not checking your six. You'll also see Accolades at the end of each match, which are mini-rewards based on your performance in the game. For example: Lock'n'Load (most reloads); Lockdown (most time spent in one place); and Defuser (most bombs defused). These appear in the game summary underneath your XP bar.

Virtual_Boy Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 8mins of MP footage showing Pave Low and AC130 Link Questions put to Robert Bowling (FourTwoZero) via Twitter Q: So when can we expect to see some more #ModernWarfare2 footage/details? A: We have a @Spike_TV episode coming up on the 8th we film next week, but something planned before that as well! Q: Is Special Ops mode as long as Single Player? Or shorter? A: Special Ops is just as long if not longer than Single Player (depends if you're going for all 69 Stars). It's meaty! Q: Are you allowed to say what these 69 stars are? If not its ok. A: There are 3 stars per mission. You get 1 star for beating on Regular, 2 stars for Hardened, & 3 stars for beating on Veteran Q: so whats the good reasons to prestige? and go beyond 10th or u cant tell until release A: There are going to be a few rewards for hitting prestige in #MW2 - can't go into details, but there will be goodness to be had Q: what's perks/guns will you use the most in Modern Warfare 2? A: My preferred TDM class is ACR + Red Dot + Suppressor + Semtex Nades + Commando Perk + Bling (Its different for objectives) Q: why did you guys decide to make top level 70 !??! What was worng with 55 ????!!???? A: We have a lot more weapons, perks, attachments, callsign items, and equipment to unlock this time, needed more levels! Q: wow thanks for getting back to me one last thing will there be a horde mode type if thing ?? A: Special Ops includes a variety of gametypes and mission objectives. One of many being a Wave Defense type. Q: do you prestige at level 55 and are the badges on the net somewhere or is that kept on the down low? A: No - Max level in #MW2 is Lvl 70 this time. We're keeping the Prestige icons under lock and key. Q: How does tactical insertion work when thrown out of a map? A: Tactical Insertion can't be thrown out of the map, it's dropped at your feet, not thrown in #MW2 Q: when you guys deliver the boxes that have mw2 inside, is GS required to release the game on time, or they could just pop it out A: Games have a "Street Date" that retailers honor. Meaning they can't release it until that date to eliminate any retail advantage Q: is there built in modded controller deterance in MW2? Maybe a forced rate of fire check? A: Yeah - we're addressing modded controllers in #MW2 - slightly different than the Rate of Fire cap we did in COD4 recently Q: how is search and destroy going to work with tactical insertion? you could just spawn in their spawn for the next round. A: There are no respawns in Search and Destroy so Tactical Insertion is useless there, I said S&D once meaning to say Demolition Q: Is there a region searching function in #MW2? A: There isn't an option to search specific regions / countries when matchmaking, but there is improved matchmaking to auto-assist Q: Are people going to be able to turn on Sparta mode and just charge with a whole team of shields? A: lol - an entire team of Riot Shields would be slow moving and extremely vulnerable. Flash grenades force you to expose some Q: What type of weather effects will there be on MP maps. ie. snow, rain, dust storms... A: All of the above. Quite a few maps have varying degrees of visibility due to weather effects. Q: There are a lot of people very disappointed by the lack of Local Search. Could this be added later in a patch if lag persist? A: Yes. We'll monitor community feedback closely post launch to see if the improved matchmaking benefits international users or not Q: Throwing Knives thrown with left hand seems difficult to adapt to if your right handed using RB. Why are they different? A: The throwing knife is thrown via the left hand because the right hand is holding the weapon. Low Ready + Throw w/ lefthand Q: Are there snow maps in multiplayer? A: Yeah - there will be snow maps in Multiplayer. Q: Hello! Regarding the AC-130 gunship killstreak reward, I have a concern.. Anti-Missle flares. How do you shoot it down??? A: Teamwork. It takes two rockets to take down an AC-130 in MP. Meaning you can't do it alone but can do it as a team. Q: Do you get to choose what the air drop drops, if that makes sense? A: Nope. Air Drops are random. They could be an ammo resupply or an awesome killstreak reward. Its luck of the draw. Q: In one of the gameplay videos some guy said there was 2 choppers of the same team in the air(same time) is that possible/true? A: Yeah. If an enemy chopper is in the air while you're in the AC-130 you can fire down on top of it to shoot it down. Q: Will the EOTECH sight be able to zoom in more then the Red Dot Sight? A: An EOTECH sight is holographic. It creates a sight picture (circle w/ dot in the middle) holographically in the scope. Q: People are saying the Riot Shields are too overpowerd. Do they have a breaking point? Is it going to be balanced? A: No. They can't be destroyed but you're slow moving, plus shield gets cracks (so no visibility after awhile). Can't shoot also Q: Will there be an IN LOBBY MUTE FEATURE??? A: Yeah - there will be lobby mute Q: How is the LAN system going to work, is it like CoD4 where it's preset, or can we look forward to a tournament friendly setup? A: LAN / Offline is very Tournament friendly in MW2. Full create a class and rank progression but separate from your online rank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
