^LOL nice! that was awesome. I cant wait. Because australia isnt getting much of a rise my brother might be getting it around release, and also he has (or had, his best friend is quitting) friends at game who might sell it to him cheaper.

I don't know what to think about it. It looks really fun however, and the graphics are pretty mint.

The graphics do look nice. There is a lot more cover on the map than CoD4. I dont like the splatter on the screen. Thats just annoying more than anything else.

Who came out with capture the flag first, IW or Treyarch?

If you haven't played the console version of CoD4, you may not recognize the full significance of the ending. Since it's P2P, a loss of connection on the host's end would cause everyone to disconnect, unlike other games (Halo 3) where the game would be paused until another player picked up host. Apparently this got fixed with MW2.

I agree 100%. Something like Rainbow Six's "blackout" effect would have worked well.

CoD1 had Retrieval, which was CTF with fixed attack/defend. CoD:UO introduced true CTF. I'm guessing id was the first to put CTF in a FPS though.

Re: Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer Gameplay Uncut: Flag Runner (Official HD)

My comments on the video:

1) CTF is my fav mode in the CoD series...one reason I could never fall in love with CoD4 was b/c they said they would add CTF in maybe later with a patch, it never happened, but a mod did add it. SO, I am happy to see that back in the main game from IW.

2) I really like the teamwork with the shields. They also balanced it nicely that you can't shoot while using the shield. Where does the guy pull the shield from...well, ehem...a big pocket?

These shields with a skilled team in competitive play could make a flag carrier very hard to take down b/c they could move with him while surrounding him with shields, or make a Mighty Duck V, lol.

3) While this teamwork seemed awesome, this will not happen in most pub play. Just like how Sabotage could be an amazing mode for pub play if people actually worked as a team to plant the bomb. It's rare when a guy teams up with you to help.

4) Graphics/effects do look good. While the insanity of CoD4/MW2 can/could get annoying, it's still an effect that can help immerse you into the insanity.

5) Still looks like the insane RnG of CoD4, but since this is the same engine, modders should be able to attack this in no time and mods can calm down the insanity of the RnG that is in most pub servers for those of us who like to think a tad instead of mind numbing spray and pray.

6) Oh jeez...the annoying things blocking my gaming view return! I hated in CoD4 the constant text on my screen announcing stuff...geeeet out of my face! Now, this massive rectangle pops up... Hopefully they give us an option to turn it off. Treyarch did a wonderful job with giving server admins tons of options.

7) I guess the perk that was to appear in this video is the knife throwing? I don't remember hearing "tons of people ask for it" as 402 said, but I know some people somewhat mentioned. I love to usually play a more sneaky/stealthy style of play, so this would cater to me, but will it annoy others? That was a pretty long throw. How far can this thing go? Does it have a trajectory or is it a zipline into as far as it goes until it hits something? That would make a huge diff in whether it's like or disliked.

After my novel, I like seeing video of actual gameplay that is uncut b/c we all know trailers can be made to be elite. This game looks like it has promise, but I would say that if you didn't like CoD4, you definitely would not like this. As IW appropriately said, this is a direct sequel to CoD4 and I don't think they just meant SP... Usually, with CoDs, we're used to something different each time. Hopefully, with some more vids, we'll get to see some more of the unique items that separate this game from CoD4...please say a reduced grenade splash range. :|:

Also...will the red jelly be optional? lol

Looking fun, SCAR time! I didn't really catch the second gun he picked up, but was that a quad rail MP5K? At the end, did that gun have multiple attachments (Laser and Red-dot)?

Iwantcable is correct. CoD:UO made by Grey Matter introduced true CTF into the CoD world. AND, Grey Matter got absorbed by Treyarch, hence the reason it definitely came back to the CoD series with CoD:WaW.

Here is a game wiki that describes the retrieval mode:

"Retrieval

The retrieval gametype is a team mode similar to classic capture the flag modes except the object must be retrieved within a round meaning players who die are out of the game until the following round. If all the members of either team are eliminated or the object is retrieved then the round also ends with the winning team receiving a point. The mode is generally played with numerous rounds on each map and the team with the specified amount of wins according to the server wins the match. "

Also, good point on the cover Crunch. That is one way to calm the insanity if they have better cover.

So I guess it would be safe to say that IW is copying capture the flag from Treyarch?

Re: Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer Gameplay Uncut: Flag Runner (Official HD)

Hmm, not too enthused about the knive throwing im quite interested to see how they will try and balance it, because if its like a laser beam then its really going to suck getting knifed all the way across the map. I hope its a perk and not available at all times.

Pincushion: Less Damage taken from thrown knives, there's you counter perk or something close to that

I also don't like how there reusing the sounds from Mw1. I would of liked to have heard new ones IMO.

Kill streaks went 3,4,5. There's more than 3 kill streaks this go around.

Re: Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer Gameplay Uncut: Flag Runner (Official HD)

"Hey guys we couldn't come up with anything really new with this game, so we just made a couple of new weapons skins. Oh hey and throwing knifes! We all know throwing knifes are awesome. Recoil? What's that?"

The knife is not going to go THAT FAR like a bullet, it gonna fall at some point, not so far.

The sounds? They gonna change some of them. Note that in the first SINGLEPLAYER videos the music is the same as the first one.

This things they left for the final.

Re: Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer Gameplay Uncut: Flag Runner (Official HD)

Was really talking more about the weapon sounds, Both the pistol and 50 cal were def recycled sounds from MW1.
