Some IW Staff members were playing MW2 on Xbox Live last night so people were able to see the maps they were on!

Afghan
Derail

Scrapyard
Terminal
Underpass
Wasteland
Sub Base
Skidrow


Afghan: This is a huge map with an enormous crashed airplane in the middle of a valley in the center. The terrain is rocky with a central cave system that has three points of entry, and multiple low-slung buildings with wide windows that make excellent sniper spots. Domination was the best gametype on this map, since all three target points have multiple access points. Also a great spot to launch Predator Missiles onto the heads of unsuspecting enemies as they flee for the cave.

Favela: A medium-sized map inside a multiple-level ghetto. You can scurry across rooftops, climb from building to building, or use the sidewalks and stairs to get around. Great for Capture the Flag matches; especially with the multiple levels giving you plenty of opportunity to escape, or nail the flag carrier. Sentry Gun perks work great on this map in CTF mode, in effect giving you an extra defender on the flag.

favelamaplayout.jpg


High-Rise: Centered around a helipad and air-conditioning station between two towers on a skyscraper. You spawn on opposite sides in offices. We had fun recreating the "Schiess Dem Fenster" scene in Die Hard. This is a smaller map, but contains tunnels, rooftop perches, and lots of nooks and crannies. We noticed nice details like pipes that blow steam if you pop a round into them.

How much detail have we got on the special ops game mode? There are an awful lot of achievements in there for it. I've heard there are no MP achievements so presumably special ops is a co-op only/SP game-type?

It is co-op (splitscreen or online). You can do it SP, but 402 said you won't complete it on your own...

I think there are 23 different scenarios (like MHC on COD4) and depending how you do you get between 1 and 3 stars for it (3 being rediculously hard to get I reckon)

I like the look of it, almost 3 games on one disk, can't grumble!
 
I just hope this Special Ops Mode is not just there to supplement a short SP game.:thumbsdow

I loved the SP on COD4 but felt it was a tad on the short side, and if these Special Ops missions are at the difficulty levels of MHC then that 1000GS is gonna be hard to come by. Even more so as some of it will need to be done Co-op.

Did you play it on Veteran? Took me a good 18-20 hours on Vet, which was decent value for money IMO.

Yes i did and completed Mile High Club on Vet :smashin: and when you put that slant on it it did represent good VFM.

Obviously all will become clearer as we start getting reviews and drip fed more info but all that we know about Special Ops so far indicates that it takes set pieces from the SP and gives it that extra dimension of difficulty ala Mile High Club.

Hopefully this will be in addition to a reasonably lengthy SP campaign :cool: and not just a bolt on to a short one.:thumbsdow
 
Man it takes me about 2min to load this page on my laptop LOL can we have page 2 please :rotfl:

Yeah, it sucks my broadband connection up

I think the OP is a bit excessive - maybe a link to the part 2 OP is easier?

Has already been confirmed in several of the million and one links on t'interweb that the SP is as long, if not a little longer than COD4.

Spec Ops is going to take ages to do as well - i can't see it being easy. Especially now as in both the SP and Spec Ops, they have totally changed the AI (apparently) so that they aren't as predictable...
 
No multiplayer acheivements what a bummer thats all I am interested in really :(
 
Yes page 2 :thumbsup:

We'll still get all the people boosting the challenges & their levels though (AVF should have a massive boosting session on one of the high scoring objective games:devil:)...wonder if there will be gold guns or alternate gun skins again (may have missed it)?

I suggested something similar once and was shot down in flames. Just before chrisaldinios was outed as a glitcher and disappeared mysteriously without trace from the COD forum.:rolleyes:

LOL, i did wonder where he`d gone. And he did know an awful lot about glitching it had to be said. I had my doubts but it wasnt my style to make accusations out in the open. I couldnt help thinking it though! As I`m sure many of you were too! :smashin:
