Robert Bowling, the community manager at Infinity Ward, says that he and his team have plans to support Modern Warfare 2 heavily with post-launch support. He stated recently that there will be at least two map packs. In fact this was also announced at the E3. The two map packs will be for the Xbox 360.
Bowling also said that they have confirmed of at least two map packs and this does not mean that there won’t be more than two map packs. He mentioned further that Infinity Ward will be shaping the DLC based on the feedback of the community from the full game and also from the feedback of the first two DLC map packs. So, in fact the community will be determining what will come after the two map packs.
Activision is working hard to hype the title and it is also working hard to create a community around the game in order to sustain the game on the long term. Now it really seems that Activision will prove it to be one of the biggest video game launches of this fall.
Well, do keep reading and do keep commenting. Let us hope that Modern Warfare 2 sustain in a very long term.
It is high time to bid adieu to the cat helmets, sound tracks, art books and also to behind the scenes DVDs. These stuffs no more acts as the bar for collector’s editions of games. Modern Warfare 2 has set something new. A new baseline with their Prestigious Edition.
What will be there in the box of MW2?
It will have an art book, arcade code and also some limited edition packaging. The packaging will have real working night vision goggles that you can use in spying on your neighbors or if not then you may also keep neighborhood watch for terrorists.
Robert Bowling, the Community Manager of Infinity Ward, also called as FourZero Two, unboxed the full set of in a video. From the video it seems that it looks quality. It also seemed that it is one of the most expensive gaming box sets in the history of gaming industry.
In gaming industry “co-op” by default meant two players. Now there is a different story. Things have changed now in multiplayer gaming world. The terminology now is not different.
Infinity Ward even today believes that two players is the sweet spot for cooperative-based gameplay. Recently in an interview the director of communications of the studio, Robert Bowling said that there will be a definite change in the co-op concepts between last year’s CoD:WaW and and the MW2 that is going to be released this November. He further added that in Treyarch’s effort they can participate in four-player campaign co-op, but the new sequel of the Infinity Ward will not be featuring a campaign co-op mode at all.
He also said that in fact there will be something entirely new i.e. a two-player, specially designed Special Ops mode. He mentioned that it is “designed to be replayed over and over again.”
Let me quote Bowling: “Two player seemed to be the magic number for co-op. That’s when it stayed really fun and intense without becoming a clusterf**k of things. We just found that two-players was the most fun.”
Whatever may be happening due to too many people trying to work together in a game. What we expect is great things from the developer.
There were lots of questions raised as to why the term Call of Duty is not used in Modern Warfare 2 because it is the sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
Robert Bowling, the community manager has given an explanation to this decision of the Infinity Ward.
Robert Bowling recently said to MTV that the game is called only Modern Warfare 2 because they want to emphasize on the fact that Modern Warfare is a direct sequel to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. He said, “This has never happened inCall of Duty before. They’re typically their own campaigns and totally unrelated to the previous one. This one, is indeed a direct sequel and we just want to make that clear.”
The flipside to the Modern Warfare 2 title is that folks may not know that it is still essentially a CoD game.
Well! The demo of the game at E3 conference in Los Angeles was pulse pounding. It was awesome. Here is a video of the demo.
