Infinity Ward has released the latest Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Intel Drop #3. This new Intel Drop dives deeper into the sound design of the game, how hard the process is, and how it contributes to making MW2 the biggest Call of Duty game yet.

Modern Warfare 2 Intel Drop #3 first reveals that it takes the sound design team months just to plan the locations in which they will record new audio. They have so far recorded new sounds for a wide range of weapons and sounds including small arms, RPGs, tank canons, weapon reloads, and even helicopters. 

The video also discusses that sound design for game development is much harder than it is for filmmaking. Since games are non-linear in the sense that players may want to approach each situation differently, the team has to predict, plan, and record fo every movement the player might make.

This is the third intel drop from Infinity Ward. The first one was all about the new Farm 18 map, and the second one was all about the new character, Colonel Alejandro Vargas.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is coming out on October 28, 2022, and it is now available for pre-order on the game’s official website.
