Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer: Everything about gameplay, maps and vehicles

Modern Warfare 2 has been announced. As always, the heart of the game will be multiplayer. Here you can find out everything that is known about it so far.

Santa Monica, California – Modern Warfare 2 has been a long-awaited game for many fans. Now the game has finally been announced with a reveal trailer and with it a whole heap of information. Activision wants to revolutionize the franchise with the new Call of Duty. Above all, the multiplayer should be better than ever. We have compiled all the information that is already known here. This is in the multiplayer of Modern Warfare 2.

Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer: Everything about the gameplay

This is how the movement works: After the Reveal trailer of Modern Warfare 2 went online, a lot of information about the shooter was also published. It was also about new mechanics that will affect movement in Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer. In another article you get a rough overview of the most important facts about Modern Warfare 2. Here we explain in more detail how the following mechanics work.

Swimming and diving: In Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer you will be able to swim and dive. Gear works fully underwater, while weapons only do so to a limited extent. When diving, you can only use pistols. The ballistics of the bullets are affected under water. Visibility also gets worse the deeper you dive. When you swim, you can use your primary weapon.

Hanging on edges: You can hang on ledges in Modern Warfare 2 and look over them before climbing up. Meanwhile, you can aim and shoot with a pistol. In addition, it should also be possible not just to pull yourself up on the edges in multiplayer, but also to shimmy along them.

dive: The dive returns in Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer. Longtime fans will remember this feature from Black Ops. In Modern Warfare 2, you activate the dive by pressing or holding the crouch button. The other input command causes the already known slide.

This equipment is new: The equipment and field upgrades will also be expanded with some new items. For some of them, Modern Warfare 2 apparently used its competitor Rainbow Six Siege. We may be able to test some of this in the Modern Warfare 2 beta. We list the items for multiplayer here with a brief explanation of how they work:

Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer: Everything About Vehicles

This is what is special about vehicles: Yes, you read that right: Modern Warfare 2 will feature all kinds of vehicles in multiplayer. It remains to be seen whether they generally occur in every game mode. However, it is more likely that they will be used primarily on the so-called Battle Maps – you will learn more about the Battle Maps later. There should be helicopters, boats and various land vehicles in Modern Warfare 2. But you can do more than just drive or sit in the passenger seat. You can find all functions here:

Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer: Everything about the gunsmith

This is how the weapon forge works: There are still a few unanswered questions about the weapon forge in Modern Warfare 2. Basically, the feature works like in Modern Warfare 2019. You can screw on five attachments per weapon in multiplayer. But the way you unlock them should change something. In Modern Warfare 2, you don’t unlock the attachments for each weapon individually, but for each type of weapon (assault rifle, SMG, shotgun, etc.). This way you don’t have to level each weapon individually to use the meta setup. As usual, you will also get some blueprints if you pre-order Modern Warfare 2.

In addition, some attachments in Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer are said to have sliders that can be used to adjust the values. Bring a run, for example +Precision and -Target speedt, the strength of these effects can probably be adjusted. In Modern Warfare 2, the effects of essays are also indicated with percentages and no longer with simple bars or numbers. This makes it easier to gauge which is the best essay.

Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer: All About Maps

This is what we know about maps: Not much is known about the maps in Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer either. So far there has only been talk of a total of five maps, but this number should not be final. Especially since two of them are so-called Battle Maps. These are larger maps in Modern Warfare 2. It is reasonable to assume that the Battlefield-like Ground War mode is played here.

Of course, there are also smaller maps that provide classic Call of Duty action. Three of these are known to date. Here the players in the multiplayer of Modern Warfare 2 expect the classic 6v6 battles.

Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer: Everything about game modes

The game modes in multiplayer: The classic game modes Team Deathmatch, Domination, Kill Confirmed, Hardpoint and Co. will again be included in the multiplayer of Modern Warfare 2. With Knockout and Prisoner Rescue, however, there are also two new game modes.

Knockout: This is a mixture of gunfight and the classic multiplayer of Modern Warfare 2. Two teams compete against each other. Players only have one life each, but can be revived. A round starts with a timer of 60 seconds. The goal is to collect a bag and keep it in the team after the timer runs out. The alternative is to eliminate the opposing team.

Prisoner Rescue: Infinity Ward also seems to have taken inspiration from Rainbow Six Siege for this mode in Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer. An attacking and a defending team compete against each other. In defense, it is important to guard prisoners or eliminate the opponents. Conversely, attacking is about freeing the prisoners or eliminating the other team. However, freeing the prisoners earns more points than eliminating the defenders.
