"Shocking" CoD MW2 Footage Leaked

A couple of days ago a video was leaked onto the internet from Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 that featured the player as, what we assume, a terrorist opening fire on innocent civilians in an airport. This video has sparked a bit of outrage with the media and has them saying that it's sickening and uncalled for. Activision has released an official comment on the video, saying that the footage is "not representative of the overall gameplay experience in Modern Warfare 2."

I have also been hearing that this level has a warning message about it's content and an option to skip the level entirely if the viewer does not want to partake in the mass killing of virtual innocent civilians. 

More on the story to come, and be sure to check out of exclusive review of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. It will launch at 11:59 PM Eastern Time on November 9th.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 to Feature Third Person

Someone got their hands on an early copy of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 recently and was kind enough to leak a new video that shows third person gameplay. As a huge fan of the SOCOM series, I like the option of first and third person.

Infinity Ward had this to say:

"3rd Person is a new playlist mode in Multiplayer," says Infinity Ward's creative strategist Robert Bowling. "So you can play your favorite playlists [or] game types, like Team Deathmatch just standard, or in Hardcore mode ([with] limited HUD and increased bullet damage) or in the new 3rd Person mode, which means you and everyone in the game is in 3rd person."

"When you're in a 3rd Person playlist you can't toggle in and out, you're always in 3rd person," he says, adding "You can't toggle 3rd person view on or off in a standard game type either, people in 3rd person can't play with people in 1st person, they're entirely different game modes. This is just another way to play the game."

I don't know about you guys, but I'm looking forward to it.
