Modern Warfare 2 (initially known as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2) is an upcoming first-person shooter video game from Infinity Ward. Officially announced on February 11, 2009, the game will be published by Activision and is due for release on November 10, 2009. Although the game does not share the Call of Duty series title, Modern Warfare 2 is the sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and will continue along the same storyline.

 

Gameplay

 

A "Special Forces" mode will be featured in Modern Warfare 2, comparable to the "Mile High Club" epilogue mission in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare,[6] consisting of isolated missions in a variety of settings unrelated to the campaign story. The main campaign will not support cooperative play, but the "Special Forces" mode will have a two-player cooperative option.[5]

 

Plot

 

Modern Warfare 2 is set several years after the conclusion of Call of Duty 4. Sergeant "Soap" MacTavish will return as a non-playable character, and has been promoted to captain in the Special Air Service.[5] MacTavish will lead an elite, multinational commando unit, Task Force 141, to counter the resurgent Russian Ultranationalist organization.[6] The group is now led by Vladimir Makarov, a former associate of Imran Zakhaev with his own nationalistic ambitions. Makarov has been portraying Zakhaev's death as an act of martyrdom to garner support for his cause, and has built a strong power base in Russia over the years. In response to the threat posed by Makarov, the global community established Task Force 141 to stop him.[7] The player will take on the role of Task Force member Sgt. Gary "Roach" Sanderson.[8] Mission settings include the mountains of Russia, a desert in Afghanistan, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[5][7]

 

Development

 

The sixth game in the Call of Duty series was originally referred to under the working title Call of Duty 6.[4] The official title for the game was first revealed to be Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 by Activision Blizzard on December 3, 2008.[9] Activision Blizzard subsequently recanted their announcement, saying any information about the upcoming Call of Duty game was "speculative,"[10] and Infinity Ward also asserted that they had not officially confirmed their latest project.[11] On February 11, 2009, Activision Blizzard reannounced Modern Warfare 2 and set a tentative release date for "Holiday 2009."[2]

 

Marketing

 

On March 25, 2009, a teaser trailer for the game was revealed at the Game Developer Choice Awards ceremony in San Francisco. The teaser was also posted on Infinity Ward's website.[14] It announced a release date of November 10, 2009[3] and confirmed that the game's title of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was officially shortened to just Modern Warfare 2.[3] The teaser was also released on the Xbox Live Marketplace and on the PlayStation Network a short time later.[15] A second teaser was released on May 10, 2009, showing gameplay features such as snowmobile driving, guiding smart bombs, and an underwater mission. The teaser announced that the game would be "revealed" on TNT during the NBA Eastern Conference Finals on May 24, 2009.[16] The "reveal" was the first full-length trailer, which debuted extended sequences of actual in-game scenes and combat; the trailer was subsequently made available on the Modern Warfare 2 official website, which was updated for the occasion.[17]

 

During E3 2009, Infinity Ward announced that a downloadable content pack consisting of two multiplayer maps will be made available first through Xbox Live for the Xbox 360 version of the game.[18] An early campaign mission called "Cliffhanger" was also demonstrated during the E3 event, following the player character Sgt. Gary "Roach" Sanderson as he and Capt. "Soap" MacTavish infiltrate and escape a Russian base in the Tian Shan Ranges in Kazakhstan. It was shown during the mission that snowmobiles are rideable.[8]

Voice actor Ken Lally, who has previously provided motion capture work for the Resident Evil 5 character Albert Wesker,[12] confirmed that he provided voice work for Modern Warfare 2; his role in the game was not specified.[13]

 

Infinity Ward has confirmed that they will address the issue of enemies that continually respawn at different points of a level. Also, in response to questions about the length of the single-player campaign, Infinity Ward CCO Jason West stated that Modern Warfare 2 would not be longer than the 6-10 hour-long campaign of Call of Duty 4.[6]
