Shacknews has a few more impressions and details from Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer during a Microsoft sponsored press conference. First up, four new shots were released courtesy of Infinity Ward.
More details and hands-on impressions for Modern Warfare 2 can be found via Shacknews.
Next up, GameTrailers has a number of shaky cam videos of Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer in action! Five videos can all be found once you click on those magical words of "continue reading."
Expect even more impressions from all over to trickle in tomorrow. Modern Warfare 2 is slated for a simultaneous release on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC platforms on November 10, 2009.
I also got my hands on the beta version of multiplayer mode. Judging from a few rounds of familiar team deathmatch and bomb defusal, Modern Warfare 2 is a very attractive, refined version of the original Modern Warfare.
Beyond obvious graphical upgrades, there are a lot of little touches that Infinity Ward is throwing in. When a solider gets shot, you feel it--whether the victim is yourself or another player, a kill often results in a very satisfying "ping" of a helmet or a dramatic flail of the arms. Everything is a little bit punchier and polished, right down to minor audio cues and grenade/weapon physics.
