Ninja's are going to be scary as hell with lightweight, marathon and scrambler. Damn, I'm torn between this and Operation Flashpoint.

Wait, what? Can someone post a link or video or something confirming this? I thought you just called it in like the attack helo or pick a spot on the map for the AC-130 to pummel like the air strike. I'm sure you'd rack up shitloads of kills, but I'd rather run around shooting people than be an AC-130 gunner.

Well the description of the perk said gunner of the gunship but I'm not entirely sure how it goes then again this seems like a pretty good indicator of how it goes

By "Japanese" version are they just subtitling the game dialogues and translating the menu, or are they giving the characters Japanese VA speech like what they did to Crysis? who are they gonna assign to voice Cpt. Mactavish, then?

This is the bomb! New weapons, great game play...killer game! I like that fact that more attention to detail has been done here. Its always nice to see the grenade really punch someone through the window!

Could be. Who knows?

A Japanese article highlighting the release of MW2 in Japan.

This is the only game I am looking forward for this year. Hopefully my good ol comp can run this.

[zibi88]

well im kinda waiting for MW2 too ^^ I guess I will lose lots of time in multiplayer :P anwyway this game is the only one that I cant wait for in this year..... next year it will be Aliens vs Predator game (I like this series and its multiplayer ^^ wont forget avp2 multi ^^).... so mostly next game I will look foward too is Diablo3 ^^each game in each year....

hope that they will soon post official game requirements of MW2...

[NorthernFallout]

After completing the MW1 campaign 3 times and having tons of fun in multiplayer earlier this year, MW2 has crawled up to my number 1 buy this winter. Luckily, I managed to persuade a few friends to join in too. The latest multiplayer videos was the final straw and I'm really looking forward to the mayhem.

I do hope my PC can handle it, because while MW1 could run at almost the highest settings without error, MW2 seems to be even more craving, although that's not surprising. At least the medium settings should be without problems...

The latest trailer, titled "Infamy":

A level set in a war-torn Washington DC with enemies barricading the White House? What kind of epic is this?

An interesting kind, I would wager. It is worth noting that MW2 is hardly alone in choosing to 'bring the heat' to DC (contrary to what some on other forums would have you believe); indeed, there are multiple precedents, among them being:

• Fallout 3;
• Command & Conquer 3;
• Red Alert 2 (and 3);
• The Conduit;
• Act of War: Direct Action; and
• HAWX

[LoweGear]

Still, it is a first for the CoD series to bring the action to North American shores instead of being set in a foreign country. And with Infinity Ward's storytelling prowess, it'll be quite epic indeed.

I came .50 BMG. If this is the penultimate mission (like in No Fighting In War Room) they better make it bloody awesome.

*perks up*

MULTIPLAYER. Dibs on the Oval Office. Calling AC-130's. Sounds like my kind of party.

So...the only realistic way I can see enemy troops being inside Washington, D.C. is if they're aided by defected American soldiers.

I wouldn't say they have storytelling prowess. The plot isn't that original. I like them for basically bringing the essence of the Michael Bay action film to a video game. That said, it's nothing deep, it's just fun.

[Yu Ominae]

I had a feeling that would come.

Now I'm probably gonna get the NA and the JP versions when they come out for the PS3.

Can't wait to see if a Japan level would show up.

[SaintessHeart]

If you see the first part of the video, the suits are raiding the airport, and the weapon first seen is a SCAR-H (7.62x51mm). Since SCAR is only used by the US currently and probably not meant for the export market, it should be a case of defecting troops seizing the White House.

This sounds like an American future not far away. Any of you here stocking up guns for the sake of your country yet?

*SCAR-L, note the 5.56x45mm NATO STANAG magazine

But the signs in the video had Cyrillic letters on.

I was under the impression that the airport, which we've seen since the first trailer, was Japanese (announcement voice in teaser), later changed to Russian (cyrillic on armed police and signs).

The voice musing about Cain and Abel in the beginning is distinctly American, so the raiders can in fact be Americans. Whether they belong to the military or a PMC is another matter.
