Modern Warfare 2 (packaged as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2) is an upcoming first-person shooter video game developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. Officially announced on February 11, 2009, the game is due for worldwide release on November 10, 2009. It is the sixth installment of the Call of Duty series, and the direct sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, continuing along the same storyline.
Modern Warfare 2 will be released in conjunction with two other Call of Duty games: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized for the Nintendo DS, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, a port of Call of Duty 4 adapted by Treyarch for the Wii console. In addition, a comic book series based on one of the game's characters will also be produced, entitled Modern Warfare 2: Ghost. The developer has stated that the game's proprietary IW 4.0 game engine is an improvement over the engine used in its previous game.
Eh, wikipedia doesn't really do this any justice. So, new thread. Info incoming.
Sorry if this has been asked a billion times already, but I haven't been following this too closely: does anyone know if the spawning system has been fixed this time around?

I'm sure there's going to be the usual claims to it, but I'll reserve judgment until I play it. I suspect it'll still have spawn fuckery in some capacity.
This is probably going to be my first "not even going to bother with the single-player" game.
Why?
COD has always been a great single player experience, and with the refinments and upgrades they're bringing to MW2 (larger levels, smarter AI, civilians you can shoot in the face) why would you skip it?
I personally feel that the single player action rivals any CG cutscene from any game to date. It's just pure intensity!
I mean in theory and if history proves anything, the single player part can be blown off in 6 hours, maybe less.

I just enjoyed the MW multi so much more than the singleplayer, that any chance I get to play MW2 I'll have a hard time justifying putting that time into singleplayer.

At least with squad spawn and those neat new tactical insertion dohickies spawning shouldn't be *as* frustrating assuming you're playing with a decent party.
I am playing through COD4 on the PC for the first time right now. I played a bit of it on the 360 but I hate the feeling of playing an intense shooter with a controller, so it wasn't as good as it could have been.
I am enjoying it immensely and now I am pretty eager for MW2. The intensity and immersion of the single player game is pretty fantastic, even without considering multi.
I've got the biggest game boner in months. I've even started playing CoD4 on Live to fill the void.
Everyone is so much better than me.
I think a lot of your kind were playing last night.
I went 19-5 using just the desert eagle.

Obviously you're a cheater.
I had a guy message me over and over with "1VS1 BITCH!" in which I replied "LOL WUT?" and then downgraded to a silenced usp and continued my fun.
Im not very fond of the DE.50 ,I prefer the M1911
I'm the DE.50's biggest fan on this game.
DE.50 + Stopping power + Bandolier + Last stand = very, very annoyed opponents.
Also, and I found this really weird.
Last night while I was playing, somtimes after going into last stand and dying I'd get a grenade kill as if I had Martydom on. It happened 5 or 6 times. At first i thought it was a randomly tossed nade, but after the third time when I knew I had no grenades left it was happening. It was really strange.

I knew it, you filthy hacker.
I definitely favor MP over SP for this game, but I'm sure I'll go through it at some point.
Any post that ends with 'On Bog' deserves a groan.
I noob tube guys across the map as they spawn.
On Bog.
I shotgun camped the Cafes.

God, you can tell how bored most of us are at work huh?
Payday friday here and I have 20 minutes to go. Fark is out of new headlines and the Onion hasn't been too funny in months. Yeah, I'm bored.
Lucky, I hate waiting for end of month paydays. And I've got 2 more hours to go. And goddamnit Fark, I need entertainment. Although Reddit is killing some time thanks to righteous indignation (who the fuck tortures a cat? I would fucking kill that asshole)
I like shooters on the computer better, but i seem to have an edge over others with a controller.
My record for a random multiplayer game i joined on 360 was 52-2 (and i only died the first time because i ran out of ammo with primary and sidearm, and 3 pickup rifles I got down to charge stabbing people)
Did CoD4 have any good mods or player maps on PC?

I remember saying that about the first one.
Yet I still got 1000/1000 out of it.

Eventually, sure.
Finally rid of that old cast funk.

DON'T bother trying the bonus mission on Veteran

That would be a damn shame, believe me.

I loved CoD4:MW and CoD:WaW's single player campaigns.. this will only be better, I reckon.
In other words.. you'll be missing out if you go right to multiplayer.
