Modern Warfare 2 will feature third-person mode

A new leaked footage of Modern Warfare 2 (PC, PS3 and Xbox 360) has circulated around the net earlier indicating that the game might feature a third person viewpoint. Well low and behold, Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling has stepped up to clear the air and confirmed the big news to everyone. According to Bowling, the third-person mode will only be available in private matches:

3rd Person is a new playlist mode in Multiplayer. So you can play your favorite playlists [or] game types, like Team Deathmatch just standard, or in Hardcore mode ([with] limited HUD and increased bullet damage) or in the new 3rd Person mode, which means you and everyone in the game is in 3rd person.


When you're in a 3rd Person playlist you can't toggle in and out, you're always in 3rd person. You can't toggle 3rd person view on or off in a standard game type either, people in 3rd person can't play with people in 1st person, they're entirely different game modes. This is just another way to play the game.


Check out the leaked footage courtesy of Destructoid:



Modern Warfare 2
will be out on November 10.

# gamers are not stupidvizard00 2009-10-27 01:09
3sd person for a serius FPS game are IW kiding , but you know all this is to drive the game to the console world , 3rd person = pads , but COD without PC will not survive .



No more clans for tournaments

No more mooders for comunity

No More 24/24 HC servers



now im after i saw this 3rd person movie im sure COD is folowing Rainbow six story , and will dead this year , hope Batelfield 3 is what expected to be .



"IW Made COD 6 and devloped COD6 For console gamers , all is clear now "



what IW did :



1 - Removing our COD prefix from the game name a insult to fans adn players ( street fighters 1980 to 2009 , space invaders 30 years , metal gear about 10 years , and Need for speed with many company problem but no change in name )



2 - removing Dedicated servers , its like removing Wifi from laptop or phone from your house , a big mistake ( they did it while knowing that modders will not be able to create any more , for your information many IW staff are mooders and have been recruted bcz they are good mooders ) SO!!!!!! .

3 - for the 1st time COD story is in streets fighting gangsters , so the fight will not so organised and tactical as u expect .

4 - they did not give as any long videos , only best parts

5 - No demo YET since the demo will reveal all this

6 - and the big one Deleting all gamers petitions in IW forum calling them by stupids and out of subject ( Dedicated server problem )





----------| if u wana save the game an dthe series|---------



1 - Bad metacritic.com rating

2 - tweat.com the dedicated serversproblem

3 - Myspace.com the dedicated serversproblem

4 - facebook.com the dedicated serversproblem

5 - open topics about the dedicated servers peoblem

7 - bad amazon rating

8 - and cancel all your orders

# lolvizard00 2009-10-27 04:26
yes but i have most console right now



2 x xbox360 , Ps3 ps3 slim , PSP , DSI and most old generation even 16 bit and i have all games in all system , but that not mean ill Play COD4 on xbox360 instead of enjoying it on PC , nothing can replace the mouse and keyboard , and ill not play Fifa 2010 on PC bcz nothing replace factory pad tweaks , so COD is PC game born on PC then ported to Console , but the paid DLS system created by M$*** atract more companies , yes now most game income or extra income commes from DLS , stupid one like ( Jpeg images , theme , soundtrack ) all this should be given free . anyway M$ + games world + this

They removed the COD bit so that they don't need to share there source code and stuff with Treyarch. Who obviously steal there stuff and just add onto it. The only thing new was maps, basically was same engine. i.e Nissan built a car called it nissan micra took out engine and put it into micra 2. Same thing.



They removed dedis because of people cheating. Would you want to have people under the map or you being sniped from neverland? Also if people stop this cheating and glitching. Even if they glitched and cheated in there own games thats fine but doing it in public games just destroys the gameplay. i.e remember how W@W was in the first months....Normally a war going on under the map and the top being empty.



It isn't a fighting game dumbass. As you clearly see your using guns and using cover and using your team. Looks and feels the same as COD4. But some people are clearly....err.....retarded?



They didn't make long video's because it breaks the tension of the game. If they gave a 30min trailer of a movie. Whats the point of watching the movie.....



Dude u high? They didnt give a demo cause it costs money. You know that thing that makes people do things. Its green normally has a sign on it saying $$......



If you want to save the series complain like you've never complained before. They have to give in sometime. Boycotting and giving them bad ratings is obviously gonna hurt there sales. Probably the last PC game they are gonna do for us cause of you fools.

- Microsoft removes Memories for cheats

- IW removes Dedicated servers For Cheats

- and USA invade Iraq FOR Nuk weapon



are you kiding



its all profit



and the way you speak you seem in love with IW .



cheating will never stop In MP , and killing a open code MP system for a bunsh cheaters using a 20kb exe called aimboot or wallhack i dont think it worth the sacrifice , i personaly play in COD 4 Hardcore servers and i spot many cheaters but that not worth nuking the system , only 4% off all COD players cheats , for Gls that is the work of IW testers and removing Dedicated servers will not Stop GLs . GLS are 3D BuGs



and remember all Windows live powred PC games have no success in MP , starting from gears of war ,



So im just asking to leave the guys decide who will play and with who they will play and were they want to play .



For the demo i think its time to see what they have done since the game in maybe in Gold state , so its easy and free to upload a demo at less in Xbox Live and PSN and a digital Demo for PC gamers , ( A alpha DEMO ) no more , dont tell IW with big IWNET dont have bandwith for a singel DEMO lol , and IF IW think DEMO distribution cost money they can just drop it in PEER to PEER and all will be served , no excuse me but no demo mean something is wrong .



my last question IF DEMO cost Money what is the cost of IWNET is it free !!!!!!

Microsoft removing third party memory support was stupid and a crazy tactic. Which will make people who are experienced with consoles move to PS3 and the Wii.....



IW removed dedis for 2 main reasons. Cheating and piracy. Cheating is more minor and can be got around using other methods than this but this is a fool proof method. Piracy is something which plagues everything, i even support it in some cases, but imagine you created a game with your sweat and tears only it to have sold 11 copies and 40% are pirates..Wouldn't that make you angry? Even pirates say to people to buy the game if you can. I am not pro-IW but i feel for them like a human being. You cold hearted people don't understand that if you worked on something for two years you deserve a reward and to be credited.



Also boycotting COD6 PC is a very very bad idea. If you can guess why, ill give u pat on the back.



USA invaded Iraq for nukes? WTF? They invaded Iraq mainly for Oil and its other commodities. I remember hearing about Iraq dishing out 100k barrells a month before the war. Now its 80k a day. Makes you see the main reason.



IWnet costs money and so does making a demo. It also takes time. Time is something which cannot be redirected cause they want to make the game the best for us. No point if they are making the best demo the world has ever seen, only to release a game with the same features.



Windows Live gaming is *****, no one has said otherwise.



BTW it isnt free to upload demos onto PSN and Xlive, you have to pay royalties and it costs per gig or something.



If you let people decide on what they want in the game the first thing they would've said is dual attachments, this is now in COD6. If you did let people decide whats in the game and what isn't it would lead to people having fights. Everyone doesn't think the same.



One more thing, GODDAMN IT CAN YOU SPELL STRAIGHT!

But this wont prevent Piracy u know , the game will be cracked and shared since its on DVD media , yes IWNET will ask for registration and key confirmation to play online good strategy but seriusly Piracy is not a new phenomena and all companies face this , COD4 was the most sold FPS game 2007 to 2009 and the RATIO between Legal COD4 and pirated COD4 are normal .



- Gears of war got pirated

- HALO 3 got pirated

and they are hapy .



you know Mooding is what made COD4 survice 2 years new maps modes full modification , community made videos and posting on forums and youtube facebooks all this was BIG ADS FOR IW .



Im not again IWNET but removing Dedicated srevers and mooding is like a Iphone not jailbreaked yet , or PC with vista .



-------| all the great designers works are ruined now |---

i feel sory for them and im sure COD 6 level designers and modelers are again IWNET just bcz they are mooders too

# ??Bountyhunter53 2009-10-27 15:34
But this move stops people playing online with cracked content. Thats the main focus. As people play online with a cracked game and hack.



Yes Halo 3 and GOW got pirated. But they also tried to stop from people playing online with cracked games. As COD4 on PC was quite open and easy to circuimvent. And no game developer is happy with piracy. It like asking IW, are they happy that people are sharing there game and using it without paying for it.



And as i said before modding is avaliable but it isnt that deep. It allows you control most things. Like killstreaks and how teams are sorted.

# 0 piracy ?!vizard00 2009-10-27 17:22
So IW want 0 piracy right and for that they removed most important FPS game features , leaving the comunity in a dark room ,

this move stop 10% and hurt 90% this is a 100% nazi move , AND MOODING is NOT avaliable ( Profile costumisation is not MOODING , ohh it easy noobs mooding ) as the match making whelle is a dectatory mistake .



BUT BUT IWNET is on it self a mistake , remember (Rainbow six raven shield )

- all online are Legal

- dedicated servers

- and 1000s of moods

- no match making

- many cheats but stoped with PB



if IW wory about cracked servers this not worth hurting All COD community for the match making of KIDS and no mods , if only IW care about gamers moral and made just a google search ( cod4 mods ) they will understand how its important , and if only they asked their own mooders who come directly from mooders comunity ,



some sites :

- http://www.modcod4.com/news.php

- http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/mods/callofduty4modernwarfare/mod.html

- http://cod4boards.com/call-duty-4-mods-3-dl.html

and more

Results 1 - 10 of about 1,190,000 for cod4 mods.



and Piracy is Piracy IW should focus on Guys who bouth the game and want enjoy it not to turn Pirates to legit players , that will never hapen ,



IW comercial Move is just like a air strike on a populated area and its very greedy .



they want more money ? they will have less , bcz now i can confirm alotof canceled orders around the world , and after release when people will finish singel player story , the game shart will shoot down massively and all Video games magazine testers will write about the big problem .



Good job IW ,



if only tryarch recrute Great designers and Make a great Modern COD 7 from the scratch in ( Chrome engine ) , yes we actualy need it more than any time .

A COD7 is probably a COD6 v.2 with tanks. And these boycotting tactics is probably gonna cost us, So you might as well think that CoD series on PC, isn't coming out ever again. Activision will think that the PC series is a liability and cut it off quite easily.

Console cant handel A FPS game , and we will never see a FPS tournament with PADS ,



we are all agreed that fps games are born in PC four mouses and keyboard .



SO let see how Console COD gamers can make this game celebre , hope the franchise will not dead .

why are some people on this website so damn dumb?



@vizard00: you my friend are slow. do you not realize that IW notices that not everyone loves 1st person? so hey why not add a 3rd person mode to get all those millions of socom or warhawk players. Its called smart marketing.



@SgtMoo: you will be the only one not buying mw2, and fyi if you didn't notice, Battlefield bad company was close to that of a flop. oh and by the way, mw2 has over 9million PRE-ORDERS and its still not out for another two weeks. So you might want to get your facts straight before you make assumptions :]

# lolvizard00 2009-10-29 10:14
my friend your are right , but 9 million preorders isnt right lol , and i dont care if COD 6 will sold or not since people have their own mind and will realize the reality ,



"" JUST remeber the PSPGO story """"



and how sony thinked they can ban all does retilers and players UMD , now who buy IT ???!!! and sony annonced PSP-4000 ,



that will be the same story with IW , they will release a big UPDATE after they will relaize that no one play online , and no one advertise in COD6 tournaments since we will have no HC gamers in COD6 bcz COD4 HC gamers are in clans and clans needs DEDICATED servers .



ILL WAIT the BIG UPDATE

# ok...ms52390 2009-10-29 17:26
your post makes not sense....im pretty sure the gamestop associate would lie about there being 9 million preorders. But what does it matter there is probably 10+ now. And if you didn't notice this is ps3.qj.net i dont see the word PC in there anywhere so dedicated servers have nothing to do with console MW2 games. Honestly, PC is losing its grasp on gaming and everyone knows it. Find me one hardcore pc gamer that doesnt have a 360, ps3 or both. MW2 will be one of the biggest game launches ever, if not THE biggest.
