If the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer gameplay trailer wasn’t enough to scratch that Call of Duty itch, perhaps 40 minutes of MW2 gameplay footage will do the trick!
Captured straight from the Call of Duty Next event, watch as content creators play against each other for close to an hour! We see the game’s maps, weapons and more in full display.
In addition to that, we also have gameplay footage of the new third-person mode! Note that this won’t be available in every mode (at least at launch).
Here are details on third-person mode courtesy of Activision:
Offering up a new tactical way to play Multiplayer, it’s time for a change of perspective:
- Across Multiplayer and specific modes within Modern Warfare II are clearly defined “Third-Person” Playlists.
- The intent for the Open Beta and launch is to keep Third-Person and First-Person Playlists separate, but feedback and gameplay could change this plan.
- In this mode, the camera is set a few feet back over the right shoulder of your Operator. This allows you more perspective on your overall surroundings, in exchange for less depth of field in front of you.
- You’re able to “shoulder swap” (change the view from your right to left shoulder), assisting you when peeking around corners.
- Zooming is automatic whenever the camera moves, and the camera stops before colliding with objects you’re close to, encouraging you to pivot for a better view.
- Your crosshair is automatically set in the middle of the screen, along with an “X” — sometimes in a separate crosshair — whenever the camera is angled behind an object. This shows where a bullet would hit if you fired the weapon.
- When you’re aiming down sights (ADS), the perspective switches to a First-Person view, allowing for more accurate firing.
