Melee / Shields

Combat Knife
Combat knifes, are a knife designed for primarily military use. They come in all shapes and sizes and aswell as being used for combat, many are also able to be used in survival situations. Certain knifes are able to be used as bayonets aswell as a secondary function. Knifes are essential in CQB (close quarters battle) and used when you are literally face to face with the enemy and are not able to use your firearm or when you need to dispose of an enemy, quickly and quitely to maintain stealth. An example of a fmaous combat knife is the KA-BAr (as shown below) which is the standard issue knife to the US Marine Corps.


Ice Axe
Ice Axes are used most commonly in mountaineering, aspecially at higher altitudes and locations where there is a lot of ice. they are usually made of steel, aluminium or titanium or alloys of these to produce a llight but extremely strong tool.
the axes themselves consist of a head which has a strong serated blade and a spike at the bottom of the handle.


Ballistic Shield
Ballistic Shields aka Tactical Shields are shields normally made of a variety of materials including steel and titanium (older versions) and more commonly now various polymers.
These are extremely heavy therefore their use is limited altough they play a key role in tactical CQB situations and are implemented by various forces and teams including SWAT. Pistols are the most commonly used weapons while wielding a Ballistic shield due to one hand being occupied in holding the shield and are used by the person who enters a enemy held position first as he will provide protection to all those behind.



Scopes

ACOG Scope
ACOG or Advanced Combat Optical Gunsights are a range of sights manufactures by Trijicon for use on fire arms, mainly assault rifles and carbines including AR-15 variants. These can be provide a range of magnification from 1.5 - 6X.
These are all battery free as they rely on natural light but in low light situations they can be illuminated using small bulbs inside the scope.


Thermal Scope
Thermal Imaging Scopes are also rail mounted and are similar to night vision scopes except these detect heat signatures. They detect thermal radiation given off by virtualy everything but intensify those given off by humans, vehicles and aircraft. These have the ability to penetrate light material and can be used to see through smoke. They are used by planes and helicopters to identify targets such as tanks on the gound from higher altitudes.


Eotech Hologram Sight
Eotech is a company which has been making optical gunsights for military, law enforcement and in some cases civilian use. These are mounted on gun rails and come in a variety of models. Most commonly, the Holographic sight are used for CQB therefore do not have magnification. Some are available which features such as nightvision and magnification.
They have been adopted by many forces and squadrons including SWAT and military squadrons.


Red Dot Sight
Very similar to ACOG scopes except these have the sole purpose of making aiming easier and faster, without providing magnification. These are normally use with battery powered lasers to produce the 'dot'.



Attachments

Master Key
A masterkey is a shotgun mounted under the barrel of an assault rifle with primary purpose of breaching doors. Before these were invented, soldiers who needed door breaching capability had to carry a seperate shotgun around or use an alternative method such as breaching charges, battering rams or kicking / using bodyweight to get through the door, all of which had severe disadvantages.
The original masterkey was the KAC Masterkey (as shown below) produced in the 80s which was a Remington 870 12-gauge with no stock and very small barrel (didnt matter as breaching took place and extremely close range) which had the ability to carry 3 rounds internally with 1 round in the breach so a total of four at a time.
This was then replaced by the M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System which is still in service today. This is also a 12 gauge but has a 5 round detachable magazine and can fire buckshot, slugs and non-lethal ammunition.

Modern Warfare 2

Woo, some actual E3 Gameplay!

http://www.youtube.com/v/AdqtMV8MTjc

Extended vid: http://www.gametrail...n-warfare/50309

Analysis:

Here is Soap smoking a cigar as the mission begins. Definitely a tribute to Captain Price as he was smoking a cigar in the beginning mission of COD4.


Your name is Gary \'Roach\' Sanderson of Task Force 141, and this preview takes place in Kazakhstan.


Soap\'s Gun. So far the best suggestions as to what type of gun it is:
- Mk 14 EBR Mod 1or Mk 14 SEI Mod 1


As rumored before, and now confirmed by the video, you do have control of your character\'s icepicks as you are climbing up the wall.


When you reach the top, you see that you have an aiming reticle with your icepicks out. This suggests to me that you will be able to use them as a weapon, at least in this beginning mission (fingers crossed for multiplayer use).


Video evidence from the extended gameplay trailer has provided us with confirmation that this gun is the Silenced ACR with Heartbeat Sensor. Pretty sweet looking, we\'ll have to wait and see if this is going to be a feature in MP.


Video Evidence and Confirmation


This is a zoom in of your HUD on the lower left part of the screen. Clearly the Heartbeat Monitor is attached to your D-Pad. Maybe you can switch it on and off or you have to hit the button to send out radar pulses?


Nothing like a cool new bloodsplatter effect when you are getting lit up. I expect to be sick of this feature 10 minutes into Veteran mode.


This was pointed out earlier in the day when people couldn\'t figure out what the symbol was due to the lack of a HD video. However, now it seems to look like this is a rocket? Perhaps a new form of noobtubing (pro-piping)?


The fully automatic glock (Glock 18?). This thing looks badass, especially when racing around on a snowmobile. Hopefully this will be available in MP (perhaps as an unlockable).


Just captured the confirmation that the Famas is definitely in the game.


And here is the p90!


What looks to be the Vector after shooting some enemies off of their snowmobile.


AK-47 with Snow Camo.


...And yes, it is AK 47.


---------------------------------------------------

I know this post isn't full, but I don't want to break up the update...

Continued in post below.

Modern Warfare 2

A brand new, full length trailer is out! Details below.


[url="http://\"http://modernwarfare2.infinityward.com/\""]http://modernwarfare2.infinityward.com/[/url]

1. Bunch of dead bodies and blood on what appears to be the \'land stand bridge\' from the end of \"Game Over\" in CoD4


2. Flashback to Zakhaev with his men on his bridge just prior to him executing Gaz and your SAS team mates

VO (Russian Antagonist - Makarov?): \"Revenge is like a ghost\"


3. Back to present day and at least three people are opening fire with LMGs (I see at least one SAW and some sort of automatic shotgun?) in what appears to the the airport from the teaser and the gameplay trailer. Note the words on the shops are in Russian and that the terrorists from the teaser were not meant to speak in Russian (\"remember, no Russian\"), so perhaps they\'re impersonating Americans or some other group and engaging in domestic terrorism to make it look like it was foreign aggression. Note the crane in the far background through the window. Maybe we get to snipe from up there? ;)

VO (Russian Antagonist): \"It takes over every man it touches\"


4. Flashback to Zakhaev again, at the point when he\'s been distracted by the loyalist heli containing Sgt Kamarov that was coming in to assist you


5. Present Day: Russian (judging by the insignia on their uniforms?) Counter-terrorists are deployed as seen in the gameplay teaser. However this time the video shows us more of the scene with the CT\'s taking casualties, even from behind their SWAT screens. Explosives are being used by the terrorists.


6. Flashback: Captain Price slides you, sorry, Soap, the side arm with his last few conscious breaths.

*heavy breathing in background like that when in last stand*


VO (Russian Antagonist): \"Its thirst cannot be quenched...\"

Shots of Zakhaev and his two bodyguards being gunned down by Soap


VO (Russian Antagonist cont.): \"... until the last man standing has fallen\"

7. INFINITY WARD TITLES! Again, with an awesome animation and accompanying audio! I thought the CoD4 one was cool but then the teaser titles were awesome but this time they\'ve outdone themselves again: the teaser animation accompanied by automatic weapons fire... what can I say, I get excited about cool titles :


8. Locale is Rio de Janeiro, South America: as seen by the Hotel Rio being present and the Brazilian flags. People running down the street - I assume something has happened very recently judging from the number of people running and the fires that haven\'t been put out yet.



9. Our mohawked British \'hero\' is seen running down the street, seemingly against the flow of the foot traffic (when the shots start, real heroes run towards them, not away from them!). Note, he\'s British, probably SAS, highly likely Soap. You can see the UK flag on his back, top left of his vest. I mean, he COULD be the voice over but it seems highly unlikely given the accent and the flag. Sounds a bit like Michael Ironside actually.



VO (American, undetermined): \"This appears to be the work of the ultra nationalists led by the shadow of Zakhaev, one Vladimir Makarov...\"


10. If this is the \"shadow\", then he seems to be African (he\'s dark at any rate). The image matches with the voice over audio cue, but he doesn\'t look like a \"Makarov\". He\'s holding a Rec 7, I believe - doesn\'t look like anything else (but I\'ll leave that debate for you guys!). Trademark terrorist aviators and beret are also present :p He\'s otherwise heavily armed - frag grenades, plenty of ammo, flanked by more guys who are similarly armed.

11. THE GUY AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN IS HOLDING A RED TIGER G3!


I\'m almost sure of it - the guy crouching next to the plane wing. Either way, there\'s six guys here with automatic weapons, with one apparently already dead. Not sure what weapon that is that the closest guy is using. Judging by the spray that these guys are putting down, I take it that they AREN\'T the good guys. Either that or they\'re not very well trained.

12. Jeep or humvee, probably a humvee exploding and what sounds like a missile or mortar hitting.


VO (American, undetermined): \"The Kremlin however sees it differently.\"

13. Fighter jet coming in to land at an arctic airstrip. @ 33 seconds you can clearly see the insignia on the tail of the fighter jet - it looks like the two swords from CoD4 that Al Asad used.


14. Unarmed arctic operative with his hands up, attempting to surrender, it seems. Looks like he\'s a \'good guy\', looks like an M1911 sidearm he\'s got on his right leg and the rope slung around his shoulders seems to suggest that he infiltrated the place and then got caught. At any rate, there\'s 12 or 13 guys facing him and they execute him with automatic weapons.



VO (Female British?): \"The Prime Minister has pledged full support to aid in any way possible\"

I assume that\'s the British PM she\'s talking about - fits with the UK having a PM (lol) and the accent - though the accent isn\'t definitively British.

15. Four little birds (three in main screen, the bottom of the fourth can be seen top right of screen) full of Delta? (don\'t they usually transport Delta?) or are we assuming this is the \"Task Force 112\" unit. Probably the latter. At any rate, they\'re heading towards some sort of Arctic base which seems to be built into an old castle structure, on top of a large hill, looking over the Ocean. There\'s already smoke billowing from the top of the \'castle\', suggesting that it has already been hit by those jets we\'re about to see.


16. Skip forward a few minutes and the little birds are right above the castle (yep, it\'s definitely a castle - or a prison), heated battle taking place, an explosion goes off and a jet screams past a moment later, which was probably the reason for the explosion. Note the Stars and Stripes right of screen - that\'s one of our team mates right there.


VO (American, undetermined): \"Zakhaev kept Makarov in check...\"

17. Back in Rio it seems: two black guys who seem to be terrorists (kerchiefed faces and they\'re rigged out in the same way as the bad guys we saw from earlier) walk straight up to another black guy and poke a glock (?) in his face. Note awesome classic adidas sneakers on \'victim\' :p


18. \'Victim\' appears to be surrendering and then suddenly unloads a .357 desert eagle (?) on terrorist 1, while moving terrorist 1\'s gun towards terrorist 2, then he caps terrorist 2 before he has a chance to draw his weapon.


VO (American, undetermined): \"... but no longer ...\"

He sees a third guy in the van and fires at him too, seemingly hitting him.


VO (undetermined): \"We need back up, we need back up!\"

19. The three guys from the teaser legging it HARD over rooftops, towards a transport helicopter just like that from the CoD4 prologue. I assume we\'re going to be there too, in first person, running behind those three guys. The other two guys are also in casual urban wear, suggesting they\'re from a detachment like Delta, who get to wear what they want.


VO (undetermined): \"Go! Go! Go!\"

20. DAMMIT! Looks like this is the guy that got executed earlier, at point 14. Note the UK flag on his right arm and the M1911 side arm and the rope over his shoulder - all like the guy from point 14. At any rate, he\'s kicking arse here - disarming and then knifing him with scary efficiency. Is that a type 56 AK on his back? Looks like an AK variant at any rate.


And the guy himself looks kinda like Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell haha.


21. There\'s helicopters transporting a number of vehicles - two jeeps and a tank? These look exactly like the vehicles behind the terrorists from point 14 - when the SAS guy is being executed. So perhaps this was a well prepared attack on a military base of some kind.



VO (Russian Antagonist?): \"The world\'s men of action...\"

22. Another guy (SAS?) in exactly the same rig as the one who was executed is throwing someone over his shoulder, just as the fighter jet behind him explodes, throwing people everywhere.


VO (Russian Antagonist?): \"... will look and wonder ...\"

23. C4 attached to a whole bunch of civilians in work gear, who are blindfolded and gagged, C4 on what looks like barrels with a hazardous sign on them, the window behind them is broken. The pipes, etc. suggest this is a plant of some kind that has been rigged to blow and that those are just the plant\'s workers who were in the wrong place at the wrong time.



VO (Russian Antagonist?): \"... how it came to this\"

24. BREACHING CHARGE! Eat that you terrorist %$&(%.


An Arctic operative is CHARGING through those rigged civilians and lunging with a knife at the last moment of the frame. There\'s at least two other Arctic commandos in there with him, in the back of the frame.


VO (American, undetermined): \"He\'s got a contact in Rio...\"

25. Back in Brazil: looks like those two terrorist guys who got put the glock in the \'victim\'s\' face earlier speaking with a third guy.


26. Brazil: Plane coming in low near the statue of Christ the Redeemer.


27. The guys from frame 10 are here - he doesn\'t look like a \"Makarov\", I\'ll be honest. But at any rate, they\'re here and they\'re waving their weapons around again.



VO (British, undetermined): \"Don\'t you have a guy on the inside?\"

28. Looks like the guy who had the glock shoved in his face from earlier was the \'guy on the inside\', as he\'s shown running down the street, with the type 56 in his hands.



29. Our SAS (note the plain as can be \"SAS\" on the front of his vest\") mohawked friend angrily shuts the roller door on a small workshop looking room as another friendly looks like he\'s about to start torturing a poor, hooded sap, bound to a chair.


VO (American, undetermined): \"He\'s gone silent\"

Maybe that\'s why he\'s torturing hooded guy - to find out where his inside man has gone.

VO (American, undetermined): \"Makarov\'s reach is spreading...\"

30. SAS Mohawk man and at least two others are running through a tunnel, looks like they\'re trying to get to the heli at the end of it for extraction...


VO (American, undetermined): \"... this can only end one way\"

... when the tunnel collapses in front of them.


31. Blank screen as:

VO (Russian Antagonist): \"You may be able to destroy me...\"

32. Large series of explosions on the Arctic airfield, the soldiers in view stagger from the shockwave.




33. Back at the \'castle\', a bunch of little birds look like they\'re getting the hell out of there. They\'ve either just dropped their soldiers off, or they\'re getting some out of there. I\'ve gotta say, that place looks awfully like a prison - barbed wire everywhere, multiple layers of it. But then what about all those transmitter towers... hmmm....

VO (Russian Antagonist): \"... but the beast will eventually come for you.\"

34. Is THAT Makarov? The bad ass Russian looking guy who throws the assault rifle to the guy in the back of the van. He looks more like a super villain, no offence to the banana republic dictator looking guy from earlier :p

35. The snow mobiles giving it serious guts, going over a small drop, guy in front clearly has a UMP in his right hand. Looks like they\'re storming an enemy position, as the guy in front pretty much runs someone down.

36. The guy staggering looks like he\'s in the same gear as the SAS seen earlier.

37. Back at the airport from the teaser it seems? Remember the crane from earlier? Is this a part of the airport that is under construction still? Seems like there\'s an awful lot of incomplete commercial aircraft here. At any rate, that\'s a real level right there - check out the \"Checkpoint Reached\" text. And it looks like all hell is breaking loose - surface to air missiles going everywhere (coming from left of screen), a van blowing up.

38. Arctic area - someone throwing themselves off a cliff - looks like a big drop!

39. One of those snowmobile guys (but I think this one is a bad guy) gets absolutely clothes-lined with an ICE PICK!!? Yes, that\'s an ice climbing pick. Nasty! The guy doing the damage is SAS - same gear SAS guys from above and he\'s got a big ass suppressor on his rifle, which almost looks like an M40 sniper rifle.

40. Underwater shot, hard to tell much except that there\'s several guys completely rigged out... and they must be COLD. I assume they\'re all good guys and that you\'re going to be in there with them.

41. Brazil: Mohawk SAS man tackling adidas shoes out of a window and falling quite a few metres onto a car bonnet. Statue of Christ the Redeemer in the background. Just a thought - they\'re both going to come off pretty badly after a fall like that. Not sure if this is Mohawk man rescuing his \'contact\' from earlier, or if it\'s Soap tackling a bad guy. I think the former - the audio cues from earlier certainly suggest that and note that SAS guy isn\'t trying to fall on the other guy - so it suggests \'saving\' rather than tackling.

42. Explosion around a whole bunch of tanks? Is that the plant explosive going off? Not much to go on here...

43. Someone (clearly bad - I think we\'ve seen this guy before, standing next to the main bad guy at point 10 - though he\'s wearing a different shirt) running wildly into a room, spraying from an SMG as he goes, motorbike is on fire outside the door (\"carbomb\" challenge about to unlock :p). Note the very top right corner, you get a glimpse of someone else running on the rooftop with a gun (he\'s bad - looks like all the other bad guys - you get a good look at him @ 1:32).

44. Thermal top down imaging - do we get behind the controls of an AC130 again? I think it\'ll be at least as cool as the AC130, but probably something different, knowing IW! Excited!

45. Castle getting raped by more missiles.

46. Friendlies getting fast roped up through a rickity looking castle from several floors down. Note the American flag on the guy on the right, the one looking upwards with the comm set on his head. They get roped up all the way to the helicopter above them, while more and more missiles hit the castle. Finally there\'s an explosion from the hole directly below, where they came from, so it looks like those two Americans don\'t get out. Poor buggers.

47. Explosion fills the screen and Modern Warfare 2 titles roll up.

On-screen text: \"11. 10. 09.\"

Awesome. So awesome.

VO (Russian Antagonist): [in Russian] \"If you fight, I will fight back\"

Trailer 2:
http://www.youtube.c...h?v=NQLz-cbYUzs

Trailer 1 Analysis

First thing is the sweetness and comfort from the IW logo and some cool visualization work going on with a night goggles look. Then it startsâ�?�¦
0:13 - Car horns honking, unsure if this starts outside or we can just hear outside.
0:19 - You can clearly hear the word â�?��?Subwayâ�?�
While I keep reading everywhere that this is an airport, Jared commented below that it is a subway station in Japan with this video provided.
0:22 - â�?��?Attention customers, Do not leave bags unattendedâ�?�
Now Yoshi has commented below on something I had to re-listen to extremely closely, but I do hear itâ�?�¦ the woman definitely says something about â�?��?Flight number 25..â�?� right before the elevator doors are closing.
0:29 - Elevator ���?ding���?�
0:34 - Elevator door closes, you can see three people inside the elevator with some text above the the person on the right.





0:36 - â�?��?Ellelator go up, ellelator go downâ�?�
0:38 - Bag is dropped, zipper is open, stuff is happening!
0:46 - L1 floor ���?ding���?�



0:50 - Gun is cocked, seriously, now **** is going to hit the fan!



0:53 - M floor ���?ding���?�



0:57 - You are behind some Russians that are either with you are unaware that bad ass stuff is about to happen.



1:00 - 1 floor ���?ding���?�



1:02 - *clears throat*
1:04 - Guy on the left says â�?��?slimy ballâ�?� !? Certainly this is code for â�?��?fan being hit with **** soonâ�?�

Honestly, iâ�?��?�m not sure what that guy said, but zhe commented below that he says â�?��?S nami bogâ�?� which is Russian for â�?��?God is with usâ�?�



1:08 - 2 floor â�?��?dingâ�?��?� and one of the men saying â�?��?Rememberâ�?�¦ the Russianâ�?� OR â�?��?Remember.. no Russianâ�?�
Others believe he is saying â�?��?Remember, no rushingâ�?�



1:12 - Exiting the elevator. Security signs are directly in front. There is people around. Top right hand corner shows something way noteworthy, five icons, the first one being very recognizable as the â�?��?Stopping Powerâ�?� perk.






So it is definitely Stopping Power first. Then some sort of winged foot second. Knives third. And.. is that.. the Portal icon!? I can���?�t tell what it is. The last box is obviously an arrow, but I do wonder why it is larger than the other boxes.

1:19 - Ka Boom.



















Trailer 2 Analysis

-Snow.
-There is a snowmobile that is shown with a first person view. Does this mean vehicles?
-The man in the snowmobile is holding a Glock [Glock 17 with an OD Green Frame]
-A man is supposedly holding an AUG (Red Dot Sight?)
-SDV (SEAL Delivery Vehicle) Shown in the underwater part
-There\'s a suppressed M4A1 on the back of one of the frogmen
-In the underwater SDV part, there are visible flags on their arms. the flags have stripes, so they\'re clearly Americans and not SAS
-Navy Seals confirmed...
-Underwater pillar looking things are hard to tell what they are exactly. could be the support pillars on an oil rig from the first teaser
-The water seems to have been updated a lot as you can see in the first sequence (waves, maybe using the fft algorithm, which can create realistic water movement and was used in Titanic and CryEngine, but it\'s too short to see if there\'s real-time reflection yet.
-Smoke doesn\'t seem to have changed much, in the second scene you can see that it\'s pretty similar to that of MW1. Fire is also similar, but explosions look more convincing.
-MK14
-AK47
-Possible UMP or G636c variant
-The gun that is dropped when the snowmobile crashes looks like an AK-style weapon. Although the stock looks more like an M4-style collapsible stock. possibly a chop-modded AK for Spec Ops

New Details - May 16th

Many new key details have been emerging about the hottest upcoming shooter Modern Warefare 2 courtesy of the next issue of Game Informer.

Some of these details that were leaked:

* No co-op in story mode, but separate missions reminiscent of CoD4���?�s Mile High Club include cooperative multiplayer.
* In the wintery bits of the game, snowmobiles will be used to escape attack, but it���?�s unclear whether players will be driving or shooting from the vehicles. Ice walls can also be climbed by alternating between the two triggers.
* A live-patching system will be implemented for online multiplayer, forgoing the need for a downloadable patch.
* Game will run at 60 frames-per-second, with better detail than CoD4.
* Riot shields, movable turrets and customized weapons for single-player enemies were mentioned.
* Gameplay���?�s a bit more open-ended than CoD4 but is still linear.
* Stealth can now be used if you like.
* Infinity Ward���?�s working on fixing enemy respawn issues (CoD4���?�s enemies would constantly respawn unless a player crossed a certain line).
* The single-player campaign will be longer than it was in CoD4.

Also according to PSM3, a UK based magazine:

* Swimming mode enabled.
* A ���?Stealthy���?� Oil pipeline Scuba Mission will be included in campaign mode.
* A level will definitely be based in Rio De Janeiro.
* Siberian Level will feature in campaign mode.
* Vehicles (e.g. Trucks, Tanks etc.) will be introduced into the Modern Era.
* A ���?Helicopter Based���?� Level will be featured.
* An Oil Tanker level will also be featured.
* Ken Lally (Wesker from Resident Evil 5) will be voice acting. Most likely as a Russian villain.

May 21st Trailer.
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.c.../v/q2ZnrHMZQc0" width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.c.../v/q2ZnrHMZQc0" />Cannot Be Displayed</object>


1.) The first one isn\'t something SUPER spectacular okay. So this is obviously an Enemy NPC and he is armed with 2 Stun Grenades which obviously make their return in MW2. The real theory and purpose of this pic lies within the GI article mentions of customized NPCs with Multiplayer style weaponry. In Cod4 Enemy NPC Stun Grenades were not as often as the hail mary of Frag spammage we received from them, in MW2 will they be able to spam us with Stuns as well, since they will be outfitted like human players would be in MP. Special Grenades X3 for the Enemy NPCs?


2.) Okay some of the obvious stuff - Russian SWAT Teams which you can tell by the Russian Letters on the black truck they hop out of, and that the location is an Airport Gate area (Where planes land and receive maintenance). The obvious stuff is out of the way now lets get down to the speculations and theory.

Notice in the first teaser trailer (the green one) it is presume to be Russian Terrorists attacking an Airport with one of them reminding his fellow suited gun toting comrades \"Remember, no Russian.\" Most of us assumed they were posing as Americans, well to me at least this confirms that they were. We know they were in an Russian Airport of some sorts, chances are that this is the same exact Airport which takes place in that trailer. Its obviously in Russia due to the Russian SWAT Team coming along and engaging with our fellow NPCs (later photos). I think this action takes place right after the suited Russians hijack a possible plane with our good NPCs trying to stop them before take off, and in the confusion have to tangle with SWAT who probably came in to stop the suited Russians who eventually escape? Well I can\'t get too far into speculation now can I...



3.) Okay here we have our first of many photo shots of our now popular Mohawk NPC. Some people think he is our playable character but I doubt that, in most of our COD games and COD4 our playable character is always faceless as in - we never see his face. I believe this tradition will carry on in MW2 (this is of course with the exception of Soap who is now an NPC and Price in his Flashback missions but our protagonist is usually a mystery). I believe he is a very valuable character in MW2 who comes off more as a supporting role similar to what Gaz portrayed in the first MW, with Soap playing our new residential badass ala Captain Price.

More confirmation that this is a commercial Airport and undoubtedly civilians will play a huge role in this part of the game (as well as others as GI exclusive article confirms this). Also our Mohawk friend is wearing a vest, will this be somehow included into game play or is it just merely NPC eye candy like the vest in MW? Will it play a part in Multiplayer... a new take on Juggernaut? Only time will tell...


4.) Ahhh... the rooftop shots, judging by these shots we are in a high chase pursuit of someone (similar to COD4\'s Sins of the Father) or hauling ass... I\'ll go with the former. In this image is a masked NPC (Non Playable Character) or is he? Is this masked soldier our playable character cleverly designed by IW to hide his identity from us as we scan these trailers for every detail?

Obviously this is in the shanty towns of Rio de Janeiro but what exactly is our team after here? Brazilian Arms dealer? Mentioned in the GI article is a mountaintop objective with a great implementation of MW2\'s new open ended game play. Here in Brazil as confirm by GI exclusive MW2 article, civilians also play a role during combat as this South American Faction (which might be playable as in MP) is primarily dressed as common villagers as well (later photo). Speaking of Multiplayer, does this spell out a \"Hell Yeah\" for a rooftop MP map? Ummm I sure hope so...


5.) Here is a close up of the fore mentioned masked character in the process of making a death defying jump. Speaking of these type of jumps, it reminds me of the very last timed event jump in the level \"Crew Expendable\". Is it possible we\'ll be making more of these type of timed event jumps on these level in MW2, I mean in \"Crew Expendable\" IW did a tremendous job portraying the need of urgency in contrast to impending doom when escaping that sinking freighter. Will they pull off that same type of fast pace action and timed jumps in the rooftops of Brazil? That would be an awesome concept I want to lean towards to.

I know, I know... a lot of you guys noticed the gun in the masked guy\'s hand and spreaded the news already. For those who are still unwary of what it is - I\'m not even sure now but it looks like a rifle not an SMG like I first thought. I\'ll get back on that soon with an update.


6.) Expanding more about timed event jumps here, this also looks very similar to the last part of \"Crew Expendable\" only thing is I don\'t think that\'s our chopper, it\'s the enemy. Notice as it looks like they\'re jumping for the chopper but the hatch is not opened... I believe its a deceiving angle and our guys are still involved in some roof hopping here trying to catch up with the chopper. Probably while chasing an enemy NPC through the rooftops, the enemy ditches our guys and makes it to a particular rooftop with an awaiting chopper to make a dashing escape?

Nevertheless this Brazil shanty town is looking to be a very interesting location for the game with civilians, civilian dressed enemies, open ended level design and rooftop chases with choppers. Sounds \'effing exciting to me.


7.) This photo here proves to be rather interesting... as far as theory goes for the time being I\'m completely stumped with this one so lets explain the obvious here. Another masked character, is this the same guy jumping the Brazilian rooftops who is our possible playable character? He\'s wielding a dagger or ice pick here in the process of stabbing some unfortunate soul. What looks like a hostage in some sort of red-orange suit looks to be tied to a seat in the back there, but is most interesting is the red lights in the background.

I remember those red lights fairly well - C4? Since it looks to be a hostage situation, maybe the C4 is a certified way of keeping our hostage there, he possibly could even be tied to the C4 incase any would be rescuer would trip it and blow them both sky high? Or some type of other explosive device? Could this mean some environmental traps in single player mode? We know by GI\'s article that a snowy mission takes place where our new protagonist is accompanied by Cpt. Soap to rig up some explosives at an enemy base but does this mean disarming them as well? Maybe a new type of explosives in MP and a new Perk to disarm them? Who knows...


8.) What is possibly to be believed to be some sort of lot on U.S. soil? Or maybe a wreckage site... noticed the burnt out colors the plane parts display which could\'ve been done by a bomb that was planted on this doomed plane... Mile High Club anyone? Further analysis leads me more to the bomb theory as it seems it fell to this piece of land in pieces as opposed to crashing of other causes (which would have made it seem more driven into the earth by impact not land in partly intact pieces). Due to the partly intact nose end of the plane I\'m assuming this bomb was placed somewhere in the middle of the plane to cause maximum damage and casualties, and it did a pretty good job at it.


9.) The reason I mentioned Mile High Club is the fact of that plane having a bomb on it (or several), you can tell when you dive out with the hostage it blows up mid-air. Now was that chapter over or just the beginning? Is it linked to MW2? What would bring us to this location in MW2 among the wreckage, maybe the hostage wasn\'t the only thing important on that plane back in MHC... Maybe in MW2 we are after the black box that plane carried for more Intel on what the enemy���?�s intentions were? Being it was the SAS who took part in that Op and the muffled foreign language of that hostage, the plane itself was over international airspace. Maybe this lot is not U.S. soil as some of us might think?


10.) Now here is a \"no surprise\" shot of the Christ the Redeemer statue located of the mountains of Rio de Janeiro. Also some sort of satellite tower, do the villagers of this shanty town enjoy the luxuries of premium cable television or is this an objective for our friends of Task Force 141? Well since this doesnâ�?��?�t resemble the wealthiest of towns I believe that satellite tower is definitely under control by the wrong side of the law? Spying on certain people or used as a way for our Brazilian arms dealer to communicate with his international clienteleâ�?�¦
