Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling teased a “game-changing reveal” for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 that’s still yet to officially be unveiled. However, thanks to leaked early copies (most likely from your local mom and pop shop), it seems that may have been revealed to be a third-person mode.
A leaked video, which doesn’t really look like it could’ve been faked in any way, seems to confirm it. A screenshot a Kombo user took of the online game modes seem to confirm it as well, if the video isn’t enough to convince you. The list of game modes are (translated from a different language):
Team Deathmatch
Free-For-All
Domination
Ground War
Sabotage
HQ Pro
Search and Destroy
Capture The Flag
Demolition
3rd-Person Team Deathmatch
Hardcore Team Deathmatch
Hardcore Search and Destroy
Team Deathmatch … (cant read) (maybe something like team tactical)
3rd-Person Cage Match
Now, the video.
HOLY shit…that’s a huge secret…I might end up picking this up…I’m tired of all the FPS shooters…SOOOO many…However modern warfare being a FPS…is a GREAT game…and having 3rd person view seems like something I can get into….But it looks like its only certain match types….AHHH I might already be busy with Assassins Creed & Dragon ball…
HOLY UNCHARTED BATMAN!!!
The question is: will they allow 3rd person in multiplayer? If so the ability to sneak up on someone and shank them from behind will be tougher since you’ll be able to see your opponent coming. You’ll still have to be quick but it still makes it harder for sneak attacks.
As for the single player campaign, this is friggin’ HUGE!!!!! I was going to get this game anyway but I’m even MORE interested than ever.
