Details on Infinity Ward's anticipated upcoming shooter Modern Warfare 2 were made available in the most recent issue of Game Informer. The article tells how the game's campaign mode will feature Captain 'Soap' MacTavish, who returns from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, as a non-playable character, and will continue on with the tale of the previous game.
The game's campaign stages, according to the article, will be more open and varied, though the overall length of the campaign will be roughly similar to the six to 10 hour duration of Modern Warfare. Gameplay mechanics will include climbing the icy slopes of a mountain with ice picks and riding on snowmobiles. There'll also be some sort of shift in the way enemies attack. No longer will seemingly endless waves spawn in until you step across an invisible line. Settings will range from a snowy mountaintop in Russia to Rio de Janiero, Brazil, which will be a more sprawling level than any present in Modern Warfare.
A new mode in the game, called Special Forces, will consist of a number of isolated stages not tied to the narrative. There was no indication of precisely how many of these Special Forces stages would make it in, but according to Game Informer it'll be a "major part" of the game. More interestingly, while the story campaign will be single-player only, the Special Forces maps will allow two players to run through co-operatively.
Details about Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer element were scarce, though Infinity Ward told Game Informer it wanted to emphasize making players famous based on their accomplishments in matches.
(24/05/09) Modern Warfare 2 Comfirmado Na E3 ! NOVO
[This year, the Electronic Entertainment Expo is beefing back up to its original glory – bigger booths, more babes and more excitement on the show floor are all promised by the annual gaming trade show's organizers. But what about the games?
As cool a spectacle as E3 is shaping up to be, it's all pointless without great new games. Luckily, we expect a ton of hot titles to surface at this year's show, which takes place during the first week in June in Los Angeles. So the IGN Xbox Team has put together a definitive list of our top 10 most anticipated E3 games. These are the titles we're most looking forward to getting our hands on at the big show.
Take a look at our picks and then head back to IGN's E3 coverage June 1-4 for news, impressions and our thoughts on the hottest games of the show.
APB
Erik Says: All Points Bulletin is coming from a studio run by the guy that brought you Lemmings, Grand Theft Auto and Crackdown. That alone should get you excited. It helps that the very early build of this MMO shooter we saw at Game Developers Conference in 2008 blew us away.
Halo 3: ODST
Erik Says: We still know very little about the first Halo game from Bungie that doesn't star Master Chief. E3 is where we expect to get the first look at the campaign. For Halo nuts, it doesn't get more exciting than this.
Alan Wake
Erik Says: Microsoft hasn't confirmed that Alan Wake will be at E3, but if it isn't we can all agree that it is pretty safe to say it has all of the hallmarks of vaporware. Alan Wake was announced in 2006 and we haven't heard from it since. It's now or never for this 360/PC exclusive.
Splinter Cell: Conviction
Erik Says: Ubisoft has begun teasing the return of Sam Fisher, a man we haven't heard from in quite some time. After announcing the game, Ubisoft went dark and rumors of the project being scrapped and restarted began to surface. We're excited to see the direction Conviction has taken while in hiding.
Forza 3
Erik Says: Forza 3 hasn't been officially announced per se, but it is one of the worst kept secrets in the world of Xbox 360. We're interested to see what Microsoft's answer to Gran Turismo will offer to keep fans excited and draw in new racing enthusiasts.
BioShock 2
Charles Says: It's a different developer this time around – 2K Marin instead of 2K Boston, which was formerly Irrational Games – but a handful of the original staff made the jump to the new California-based studio, so there's plenty of hope the second game can match up to the first. There a quite a few differences with this one, including a new protagonist, all-new multiplayer mode, new enemies, and new ways to attack, and we're very much looking forward to hearing and seeing more at the show.
Modern Warfare 2
Charles Says: One of the most popular games on Xbox 360, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, is also one of the best. With Infinity Ward at the helm, there's little doubt that Modern Warfare 2 is going to deliver more thrills, action, and addictive multiplayer gameplay. We're just eager to see exactly how it's going to be done – specifically what the multiplayer modes will be like, how the unlock system will work (we're assuming there is one), and how the new Special Forces mode will work. So the majority of what's been talked about is single-player content, so hopefully there'll be something new at the LACC..
Final Fantasy XIII
Charles Says: While this isn't yet confirmed to be at E3 2009, we're still going to assume it'll show up. It's the next major entry in one of the biggest and longest-running franchises in gaming, and compared to years past, it's much less of a mystery with the demo that recently went live in Japan. So what do we want to know? Well, anything really -- more about the characters, about the storyline, about the game world, the battle system, and about when it might be showing up in North America. If we happen to randomly encounter the game while traversing the E3 show floor, we'll be sure to let you know.
Mass Effect 2
Charles Says: BioWare's Mass Effect, a science-fiction role-playing game, featured a range of memorable characters, top notch voice acting, strong writing, a distinct visual style, opportunities to make meaningful decisions, and great soundtrack. It's not a game you forget easily. The combat may have been a little wobbly, but overall it's hard to do anything but admire what the venerable developer was able to achieve. With the sequel, BioWare has so far teased elements of the story, as well as promised to deliver a more action-oriented battle system, and we'll be reporting all the latest from the show to keep you up to date.
Assassin's Creed II
Erik Says: Ubisoft Montreal's Assassin's Creed was a lot of things. It was beautiful. It featured some of the best character animations out there. It had a surprisingly complex plot and let players run around in a large, meticulously detailed open world. But it had issues, which mostly had to do with its quest structure. With the second game, you'll play as a different assassin in a different time period with new kinds of mechanics, and we're very much looking forward to how it's all going to turn out. It's being built by a development team of an absolutely monstrous size, and we can't wait to see what they're able to produc
Chamando ou não chamando Call of duty todos que conhecem a serie sabem que é a continuação de Modern Warfare, poderia chamar Modern Warfare: Call of Duty 6 que ia da na mesma merd$##!!Vamos ver o Multipalyer como vai ser, o modo cooperativo parece que vai inovar, aquele modo Zumbi do WaW ainda não me desceu a garganta!!
Se o MP for igualzinho...eu disse IGUALZINHO ao do COD4, apenas mudando os mapas javai ser lindo!!! Imagem se inovarem mais ainda...esse jogo vai ser O JOGO parceiro. É o tipo de jogo que eu gosto. Crysis tem muito gráfico e pouca diversao na minha opiniao. COD já é mais guerra, mais realidade...eu amo essa série. Jogo desde o 1º.
E ai pessoal traquilo?
Bem meu 1 post no fórum *_*,vou colocar umas noticias aqui
Modern Warfare 2 - Novos detalhes surpreendem
A revista sobre jogos alemã Power Unlimited traz uma série de interessantes novos detalhes sobre Modern Warfare 2. Veja abaixo do que se trata.
A física das balas e granadas tornou-se muito mais realista. Balas agora ricocheteiam, e granadas rolam de uma escada ou inclinação para baixo como acontece na vida real.
Agora você pode usar uma arma em uma mão e uma faca na sua outra mão, sendo a mão com a faca suporte para a outra arma.
Mergulhadores fortemente armados realizarão algumas missões.
Existe um nível, com o nome 'International Cyber Space. O que será? Um foguete russo abandonado?
Haverá momentos no jogo com efeito time-bullet. Não, não da mesma forma que em FEAR 2, só aparecerá em momentos dramáticos do jogo, quando, por exemplo, com uma explosão você poderá eliminar alguns inimigos.
Haverá alguns novos modos multiplayer. Mais detalhes serão divulgados após a E3. Além disso, o menu a partir do qual você inicia o modo multiplayer será adaptado. Isto é porque existem uma série de coisas que a Infinity Ward quer acrescentar.
Há uma série de novos Perks com os quais a comunidade de gamers será totalmente surpreendida.
Outra inovação em Modern Warfare 2 é a adição do "Desafios". Isso acontecerá se você estiver jogando um nível no singleplayer e, em seguida, tocar em um "desafio". Este parece ser um desafio como o modo Horde de Gears of War 2, no qual você tem que lidar com um grande número de inimigos. Só é executado em MW2 algumas vezes. Quanto mais cedo você eliminar todos os inimigos em um determinado ambiente, mais você subirá no ranking. Preliminarmente, deverá funcionar apenas em tela dividida, mas, talvez funcione também em modo cooperativo.
MW2 terá mais armas, mas não foram divulgadas quais. Algumas armas originais irão desaparecer, mas existirá uma grande quantidade de novos ambientes. Você faz parte da Task Force 121, você terá a opção das mais avançadas armas. Por exemplo, terá uma arma em um nível com neve com um "sensor de batimentos cardíacos", mesmo os seus inimigos estando a centenas de metros poderão ser percebidos. Além disso, as antigas armas terão detalhes bem melhores definidos.
Haverá muito mais coisas para se destruir em MW2. Você poderá inclusive com explosões apagar incêndios que estejam dificultando a sua visão. Fragmentos de explosões cairão seguindo as leis da gravidade, direção do vento e tempo real.

Modern Warfare 2 será mostrado na conferência da Microsoft
Segundo Geoff Keighley, os fãs de Modern Warfare 2 não vão querer perder a conferência da Microsoft, que começa em menos de 3 horas. Isso, obviamente, quer dizer que o jogo será mostrado, ao contrário da péssima conferência de ontem da Activision.
