Cracking Open The MW2 Prestige Edition





Modern Warfare 2 is a high profile military first-person shooter developed by Infinity Ward. Though it takes place in the Call of Duty universe, it is a direct sequel to the universally acclaimed Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
Overview
Modern Warfare 2 is publisher Activision's eighth major installment in the Call of Duty franchise, and developer Infinity Ward's fourth. Modern Warfare 2 is a continuation of the story of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Players will control a member of Task Force 141, lead by Captain John "Soap" MacTavish, one of the main protagonists of the first game.Plot
Taking place five years after the first Modern Warfare, Russia ultimately became controlled by the Ultranationalist party with previous antagonist Imran Zakhaev now a martyr and referred to as "Hero of the New Russia." In Afghanistan, Private Joseph Allen and the United States Army Rangers fight against the country militia where Task Force 141 leader General Shepard is impressed by Allen's capabilities leading him to be recruited into the CIA for an undercover assignment to find Zakhaev associate Vladimir Makarov. Meanwhile, Task Force 141 operatives Sgt. Gary "Roach" Sanderson and Captain John "Soap" MacTavish tries to reclaim a lost ACS module in an airbase located in the Kazakhstan mountains. Both Roach and Captain MacTavish escape successfully using snowmobiles. Private Allen under the alias Alexei Borodin finds Makarov and participates with him in a massacre in a Moscow airport. As they were about to escape, Makarov betrays Allen by leaving him for dead and for the FSB to discover. After finding out that Allen was American and believed the massacre was American-supported, the Russians initiate a full on assault on the United States of America including a major strike on Washington D.C.. The U.S. Rangers including Private James Ramirez and Private Allen's respective assistant squad leader and main squad leader Corporal Dunn and Sergeant Foley are called to defend the capital.
Roach, Captain MacTavish, and Task Force 141 operative Sergeant Simon "Ghost" Riley discovers intel about a contact of Makarov in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. After fighting through numerous militia, they tracked down arms-dealer Alejandro Rojas. The information from Rojas was unhelpful. They escaped the hostile ghetto by means of helicopter thanks to friend Nikolai. Task Force 141 would then try to search for another person who is considered to be hated by Makarov. By infiltrating both a hostile oil rig and then a prison, Roach, Captain MacTavish, and Ghost finds out that the prisoner was none other than Captain Price; who survived from the finale of the first Modern Warfare five years ago.
The U.S. Rangers engage the invading Russian troops in Virginia leading to Washington D.C. Task Force 141 with the help of Price infiltrates a Russian base containing an armed submarine. As they reach the sub, Price rigs the intercontinental ballistic missile where it will be destroyed within the upper atmosphere. As the missile exploded, it destroyed the International Space Station in the process although Washington D.C. as originally targeted was spared. The electromagnetic pulse of the missile though hit the capital resulting in a blackout and cease of electronics within the city. Pvt. Ramirez, Cpl. Dunn, and Sgt. Foley finds out that the U.S. Air Force will bomb the city to minimize Russian forces. They enter the hostile White House where must signal that the area is under control. At the last minute, the Rangers reach the rooftops to signal green smoke indicating that the capital is safe and is under American control.
Task Force 141 finds two places that Makarov could be hiding. Half of them including Roach and Ghost split up to locate Makarov in the Caucasus Mountains. There was no sign of Makarov yet they found vital intelligence that can benefit the fall of Makarov. As Roach and Ghost escaped, they were then shot and later burned by General Shepard as an act of betrayal. The other half including Price and Soap try to find him in Afghanistan. Both found out about the betrayal and plans to escape the battlefield dominated by the Russian troops and Shepard's Shadow Company force.
Now wanted, Soap and Price hunts down Shepard in a suicide mission to take revenge. After a chase down a river, Soap corners Shepard. As he was about to kill him with a knife, Soap was stabbed by Shepard. Shepard then reveals that he was the mastermind behind the airport massacre and the attack on Washington D.C.; which would have later have the United States attacking Russia making Shepard a hero. He wanted to redeem himself after losing his Marine forces from Al-Asad's nuclear strike in the previous game. As Soap was about to be shot, Price saves him at the last second. After a brutal fist fight, Shepard gets the upper hand on Price. Soap takes out his knife from his stabbed chest and throws it at Shepard's head immediately killing him. Nikolai finds Soap and Price soon afterward and takes them to a safe place to rest. Price though acknowledges that they will become international fugitives as soon as the public find out about Shepard's death.

Special Ops mode is a standalone mode separate from the campaign narrative. It is inspired by CoD4's "Mile High Club" epilogue, in that the player must complete a specific objective within a set time limit. You can play solo or co-op with one other player, online or in split-screen.
A debriefing screen lists mission type, resistance you will face and expected completion time before you start the mission. At the start of the certain missions you have a choice of switching weapons of equipment.
Spec Ops mode also has a new enemy type not seen in the campaign. Dubbed "Juggernaut", this enemy's purpose is to flush out the player from entrenched positions. Clad in bomb disposal gear, the Juggernaut's heavy armor makes it a tough kill.
There are different difficulty levels, ranging from Normal to Veteran. By completing missions, the player is able to earn stars that further unlock later mission groups. The harder the difficulty on which one complete a mission, the more stars one gains. There are six mission tiers to unlock, from Alpha to Echo.
Downloadable Content
First announced at E3 2009, there will be at least two map packs released for Modern Warfare 2 - both will be timed Xbox 360 exclusives. The first map pack will arrive in Spring 2010.Graphics Engine
Modern Warfare 2 takes advantage of a new graphics engine technology that saves disc space, while adding graphical fidelity. Dubbed "Texture Streaming" it allows the designers to create larger environments without sacrificing object and character detail. The streaming tech also enables them to focus development on weather effects and environmental destruction.The Marketing and PR Blitz
From promos during the NBA playoffs to showing demos to movie stars, Infinity Ward is keen on hyping Modern Warfare 2 well into its' November release date.Primetime Promotion:
Flexing their muscle and pull, Activision started this commercial onslaught with an NBA playoff reveal trailer. Essentially two minute video about the campaign. The trailer itself was cut short only after 30 seconds and wasn't shown until the end of the basketball game.
The next commercial though, titled Infamy, fared better than their first attempt and was shown in its' full two minute running time. It was aired during Sunday Night Football with the San Diego Chargers and Pittsburgh Steelers. The most notable images from the video were of Washington, D.C.; specifically locations of a Capitol Building and White House burning after a terrorist attack that garnered controversy from the public.
Nearing its' release date and seeing another prime time sporting event it was time for the launch trailer. The trailer was shown during game 6 of the World series. It used Eminem's "Till I Collapse" and was mostly recycled footage from previous videos but also featured new video of the player in outer space.
MW2: Ghost Comic:
There will be a new series of comics based on a character named " Ghost". The series is simply titled MW2: Ghost and will be worked on by David Lapham. It is a six issues series that will tell the origins of the character and how he got his nickname. The series will take place across the world from Mexico, Afghanistan to the United Kingdom.
Seeing "Stars" in Modern Warfare 2:
It has been confirmed that rapper 50 Cent will have his voice featured as a squad leader in MW2's multiplayer Special Ops mode. Also, rock group Good Charlotte were seen with 50 Cent during the gameplay session. Other well known testers of Modern Warfare 2 have included comedian Dane Cook and The Office star Rainn Wilson.
Monster Energy Drink Promo
Monster Energy and Activision have partnered together bring a Modern Warfare 2 branded beverage to the US. This will hit store shelves in four packs beginning in October. Included in each package is a code that can be redeemed online for a chance to win one of several prizes. The giveaway list is as follows:
- 100 copies of Modern Warfare 2 for Xbox 360 or PS3
- 5,000 Map pack codes - planned release Spring 2010
- 10,000 codes for a Modern Warfare 2 dashboard theme
- Free cans of Monster Energy drinks
Controversy
PC ISSUES
Robert Bowling, community manager at Infinity Ward, announced on the BASH podcast that the PC version of MW2 will be taking a more console-like approach towards multiplayer and would use the IWnet matchmaking system. He also confirmed that the PC version won't support any fully dedicated servers or mods. This sparked a huge outcry from the PC community, who started a petition directed at Infinity Ward to reconsider their decision. As of 10/21/09, the petition had garnered over 120,000 signatures.During a promotional Best Buy web-chat with Infinity Ward on November 3rd, a representative of Infinity ward confirmed details of previous IW PC announcements and made a controversial comment concerning the PC version of MW2.
Ignoring IW.net, is the PC version a direct port of the console version?
Mackey-IW
No, PC has custom stuff like mouse control, text chat in game, and graphics settings.
On November 5th, Vince Zampella of Infinity Ward indirectly confirmed the fact that players of the PC version will not allow players to access to the dev console so change settings such as FOV, weapon damage etc.

Objective Content
Additional controversy arose when a video was posted on the internet that leaked gameplay footage of one of the "No Russian" mission, which set the player as an undercover CIA-operative in a Russian airport alongside Makarov and other terrorists as they gun down civilians. Infinity Ward later confirmed the chapter's authenticity and claimed that it can be skipped by the player at anytime after a displayed warning via the pause menu.Since the game's release reactions to the sequence have been mixed; some point out that it allows the player to have a genuine reason to hate the main villain and they don't have to partake in the massacre whereas others have found the scenario to be in poor taste.
Due to this level, the Russian government recalled all copies of the game, and banned its further sale. Infinity Ward has responded to the banning by promising to make a version of the game with the level completely omitted. Activision quickly cut the scene for Russian retailers and released this statement to Eurogamer:
"Other countries have formal ratings boards that we regularly work with. However, Russia does not have a formal ratings entity. As a result, we chose to block the scene after seeking the advice of local counsel."
