modern-warfare-city-in-flames

I’m not a trained killing machine, but if I was this trailer would definitly make me want to go out and find one terrorist after another and continuously shove each one of them up the others ass (kind of like those little stackable dolls) until there was only one heavily constipated terrorist left. Then I’d break his arm off and beat him into the ground with it. Yup. Read more…

Infinity Ward released a fake PSA about grenade spammers (shown here) that closes with an offensive acronym. Fast forward to this weeks edition of Sessler’s Soapbax as Adam Sessler shares his deep thoughts on the subject. Read more…

mw2-terrorist-level-cinematic

Activision has just released a montage video of sorts, jam packed with bits and pieces of Modern Warfare 2 trailers and footage dating back to it’s initial announcement and teaser.

Though mostly a five minute long rehash of previously seen footage, it seems to also confirm the existence of cinematic version of the terrorist airport level. If true, this’s a great move by Infinity Ward, as it would allow those gamers who choose pass on the opportunity of playing it out first hand a means to still experience the plot element.

See for yourself at the 52 and 1:40 second marks in the trailer below. Read more…

Fan of Dedicated Servers Sends DICE 60 Bucks

by Sam Naylor on November 4, 2009

60bucksfordice

You might recall that many PC fans of Call of Duty (specifically Modern Warfare) got very upset when Infinity Ward announced that they were not going to support dedicated servers for Modern Warfare 2. As something that is a core part of the PC gaming experience, a petition was signed by many people requesting that the decision be reversed. Although Infinity Ward declined, DICE, the developers of the excellent Battlefield series, soon announced that their next game, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, would definitely have support for dedicated servers.

In thanks for this, a fan of PC gaming has sent the money he would have spent on Modern Warfare 2 to DICE and requested that the money be spent on the features he desires- because he couldn’t send them a cake, he decided this would do. I should mention that I think this is a great way to show your support for a developer, but I’d recommend that you don’t do this unless you’re rich or really, really like dedicated servers.

In a few days, the latest installment of Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare series will be upon us, but until then, we will have lots of amped up predictions and mind boggling preorder numbers to discuss. The joys of anticipation. Read more…

mw-variety-map-pack

Thrifty gamers looking to milk their Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare purchase a little longer will be happy to know that Activision is making a the “Variety Map Pack” DLC (first released in April of 2008) available to consumers at a discounted price today.

The pack includes four maps “Broadcast,” “Creek,” “Chinatown” and “Killhouse” and rings in at a 50% discount amounting to 400 MS Points (about $5) on the 360 and $4.99 on the PS3. The deal ends on midnight on November 8th.

In addition, another double XP weekend will run on both the PS3 and the 360 starting November 6th at 3pm EST through November 8th at midnight EST).

Discounted maps. Double XP weekend. What’s not to love.

mw2-stops-partychat-cheating

A Neogaf forum post (containing the image above) implies that Infinity Ward will be disabling the party chat function of the Xbox 360 in some if not all of their online multiplayer modes.

Assuming the post is not a hoax, the general consensus is that party chat allows for cheating in multiplayer contests. For those that own a Microsoft Xbox 360 and don’t have a clue as to what “party chat cheating” is, good for you. As for the rest of you … you should be ashamed of yourself (snicker). Read more…

The trailer above … it’s the teaser for Modern Warfare 2 put out by Infinity Ward months ago. Remember it? You should.

So many sites spent weeks trying to analyze the distorted video and muffled audio, and if you remember it, the recently leaked terrorist level that made it’s way around the web shouldn’t come as such a surprise. It’s essentially the teaser trailer that Infinity Ward put out when the game was first announced only this time it’s unscrambled and obviously playable.

As mentioned in a previous post, the level is optional and initiated via an in-game checkpoint. I repeat, you don’t have to play it, but my guess is that nearly everyone who buys the game will.

mw2-skippable-terrorism

Spoiler Warning: Do not read this post if you don’t want to have plot specifics revealed.

Infinity Ward has confirmed that the leaked video game footage from their yet to be released Modern Warfare 2 title is real, and as expected, the airport terrorism acts depicted in the video will be optional. Meaning you don’t have to kill loads of civilians if you don’t want to. Now lets sit back and see how many of you actually do anyway. Read more…

codmw2-third-person1

A game changing reveal was first teased by Infinity Ward Community Manager, Robert Bowling, during an interview which took place at a Los Angeles held Modern Warfare 2 event in September.

Bowling stated that there was an aspect to the game that had yet to be discussed, and went on to say that the reason it hasn’t been mentioned is because “once you see it you completely forget everything we’ve already talked about” adding that this aspect will turn Modern Warfare 2 into a “whole new game”.

Fast forward to today, and we are presented with supposed “leaked” gameplay footage depicting Modern Warfare 2 third person gameplay. In addition to that, a screen capture of what appears to be a listing of gameplay modes has also surfaced on the net. Have a look at both after the jump and let us know what you think. Read more…

We here at Ripten enjoy games quite a bit. (Well, some of us. The jury’s still out on that shifty Naylor character.) In fact, one of our highest-rated games of 2007 was Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. All things considered, you can see why we’re really excited for Infinity Ward & Activision’s latest foray into the Call of Duty series, Modern Warfare 2, and this trailer does nothing to satiate our hunger.

The trailer, titled Infamy, is the newest trailer for Modern Warfare 2, and it’s amazing. No spoilers, but there’s a rather large reveal at the end of the trailer, and I have no doubt that it’s making a lot of people excited. Maybe this is just me, but does this trailer make anyone else wish that there was a Call of Duty movie? Yes?

Good.

Oooowww!!! Another new clip of Modern Warfare 2 showing off some bad-ass new features, including knife throwing and host migration among other new additions.

Towards the end of the clip it shows a player being disconnected, but instead of being kicked back to the lobby, a new host migration feature quickly finds another host keeping the player in the game. Dope as shit! We gotta give big ups to Infinity Ward for adding this feature to MW2, because getting disconnected and kicked back to the lobby sucks big time.

The second big addition featured in this video, also towards the end of the clip, has a player throwing a knife to kill an enemy. That’s some pretty sweet stuff right there. The rest of the clip shows off some gameplay footage of Capture the Flag mode with a few noticeable new additions to the game like blood-splatter effects and a riot shield. I can’t wait for November 10! Check out the video!

Leaked Modern Warfare 2 footage

by Rangebar Merani on August 28, 2009

Yessir! Here’s some leaked footage of Modern Warfare 2 that has emerged over the Internets that should get you even more pumped for the highly anticipated shooter. While Infinity Ward and Activision have been relatively quiet about the game and have done a pretty good job keeping much info from getting out, this somehow slipped from under their noses from a recent Game Crazy retail event and features some great action from the Rio de Janeiro stage. Now stop reading and check out that video!

50 Cent Lending Voice to Modern Warfare 2

by Dylan Duarte on August 8, 2009

Mothafuckin' P-I-M-P

I enjoyed 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand a lot more than I thought it would. On top of the ridiculously awesome premise, it was actually a pretty solid shooter. Now, that doesn’t mean I like 50 Cent and I want him anywhere near my Call of Duty. Unforunately, the damage has been done, and 50 Cent is indeed doing a voice in the upcoming shooter. Read more…

modern-warfare-2

Even though it’s been known that two downloadable map packs for Activision’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 would be hitting the Xbox 360 first, it now seems that those same two map packs could be the only DLC we seen coming out for the upcoming sequel.

Discussing Modern Warfare 2’s “online content,” Activision’s Publishing CEO Mike Griffith was noted saying, “We plan to launch two separate map packs for this title.” He then went on to say that over 8 million Call of Duty map pack DLC have been sold on the Xbox 360 and PS3.

Infinity Ward only released one map pack for the first Modern Warfare, while Treyarch has released three map packs for Call of Duty: World at War, the third just being released yesterday. With so much popularity for downloadable content and new map packs, I think it would be stupid for Infinity Ward not to take advantage of the opportunity to please their fans and of course make more money for themselves.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 hits the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on November 10. Damn, I can’t wait!

Hurry and press play to check out the awesome online gameplay to come this November.

Modern Warfare 2: Prestige Edition Unboxing

by Dylan Duarte on July 13, 2009

While I’ve read a lot of positive feedback regarding the Prestige Edition, I’m not too hot on the idea. It needs to be affordable for gamers, so it’s probably going to be a rather shite pair of goggles, or it’s actually going to be a good pair of goggles and cost two kajillion dollars. I could always be wrong, and given my track record, I almost assuredly am.

E3 09: Modern Warfare 2 Gameplay Footage

by Rangebar Merani on June 2, 2009

Yesterday during Microsoft’s pre-E3 press conference, Infinity Ward took the stage to finally show us some actual gameplay footage of Modern Warfare 2, coming out November 10. The game looks awesome and I’m even more excited about it after seeing this demo. Along with their demo, Infinity Ward announced that all map packs for Modern Warfare 2 will come out for the Xbox 360 first, but nothing was said about exclusivity. Check out the video.
