![]() Individual bullets in Modern Warfare 2 snap downrange and send rippled, gradually-waning shockwaves through the air. Infinity Ward demonstrates its care for fidelity and intricacy. We think of Call of Duty as arcadey and unsophisticated, but MW2 disrupts that reputation. The Basilisk, in both size and stature, delivers on the promise of hand cannon, and it's cool that I could've told you that had I only heard it fired from half a mile away. Here's a clip showing the firing and reloading of one of my new favorite guns, the Basilisk revolver (crank the volume up too): When friends ask me what I mean when I say "Modern Warfare's guns just feel better," it's easier to show than tell. I'd Ctrl+A+Delete all killstreaks from the game if it were up to me, though I reckon a move that monumental would create an angry mob outside Activision. The threat of sudden destruction at the hands of overpowered stealth bombers, chopper gunners, and miniature tank drones remains constant. The omnipresence of the UAV means that I still spend way too much time glancing at the map for red dots. My only gripe is that Modern Warfare 2 doesn't go far enough. In fact, the arrival of my new favorite throwable, the Drill Charge, makes it easier than ever to dislodge a comfortable camper. And allow me to formally debunk the camping paranoia-yes, at some point a guy named I_Just-Shot-Ya will set up on top of a building and look through a scope for the entirety of your match, but so far this is no more common than we're already used to. For the first time in years, it is actually a better idea to tread lightly, hold angles, and listen for footsteps than full-sprint down every straightaway and bunnyhop around corners. Traditionalists will tell you these tweaks are bad for the series-that they "lower the skill gap" or encourage dishonorable camping-but this paints an incomplete picture.īy gluing our boots more firmly to the ground, Call of Duty has finally created the space to be a more methodical, dare I say tactical, FPS. The minimap, breaking with 15 years of tradition, no longer highlights enemies as red dots whenever a shot is fired. Established traversal techniques like slide canceling and bunnyhopping, much to the dismay of CoD's loudest fans, have been deliberately abolished. ![]() In terms of movement, this is by far the slowest CoD in recent memory.

Supposed concept art leaked in 2022.Īctivision typically does not comment on rumors about upcoming Call of Duty games. Looking further out, Activision's Treyarch studio will reportedly take the reins and lead development on a new Call of Duty game for 2024. Beta weekends will take place October 6-10 (for PlayStation) and October 12-16 (for everyone), the report said. Things could change, but for now, Insider-Gaming reported that COD 2023 will launch on November 10, with campaign early access starting November 2. ![]() That is no big surprise considering the popularity of that franchise-2022's Modern Warfare II hit $1 billion in revenue in 10 days, the fastest ever for the series.Īll Call of Duty games are now developed on the same engine, no matter which studio is leading development, so fans can expect COD 2023-what the game is-to presumably "feel" similar to Modern Warfare II. Insider-Gaming previously reported that 2023's new COD will be "heavily connected" to the Modern Warfare series. It was initially reported that there would be no new game at all in 2023, but later, Activision confirmed there would be the usual "annual premium release" in 2023. There has been much discussion and uncertainty surrounding this year's new Call of Duty game. The site went on to report that Activision is holding internal discussions now to determine if this should be included in the premium release or released separately as a free-to-play game. Modern Warfare III's Zombies mode will basically be "Outbreak 2.0," Insider-Gaming reported. The new map is reportedly called Las Almas and it will come during Season 1, which is reportedly set for sometime at the start of December. ![]() Now Playing: Shoothouse Map | Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's ![]()
