Infinity Ward seem like a very observant bunch, understanding the issues with public betas and multiplayer achievements, as well as death streak perks.  However, I can't excuse their ravaging of the PC version to match the consoles.

I love the Idea of silent snips, though I don't use the whole sniper thing a lot but it will be fun sneaking up on the ones that do and slap them in the back of there heads with my throwing knife....lolol. Can't wait.

I hope Cliff snaps back at him, saying something like "Anyone can do Perks, but we got chainsaw guns". 
That would be pretty funny.

Love the music near the end of the video. I remember that same theme from the end of "On the Spot" back in the old days.

So basically Brad did not ask the 2 most important questions. 1. Does the AI still suck ass? and 2. Is the campaign still based on checkpoints, ie can I actually get the satisfaction of clearing out a room this time? 
 
God not all of us care about stupid multiplayer.

There was someone on the Infinity Ward forums that posted a link to this interview and a number of people said it was one of the best interview they've seen. Good job Giantbomb. =P

Man, I just got so much more excited for this game.  MW was probably my favorite online game ever and knew this was at least going to be a little better.  I didn't realize how much more they are adding.  Definitely one of most anticipated games this year.

Great interview, Brad. I haven't seen Bowling in any interviews before, he seems pretty laid back and a cool guy to be around. Glad to hear he isn't a fan of multiplayer achievements either.

What do you mean it makes you sad that Activision are behind this? 
 
Treyarch couldnt have messed up CoD5 multi player more, even if they had made it 2D.

DON'T SUPRESS THE SNIPER, god damn you bowling! Theres no way that can go over well. 
 
But nice interview, brad, keep it up.  Next time bowling says they are going to put silencers on sniper rifles, hit him for me, you can take him.

So stoked for this game. Sounds like they are fixing all, what like, 3 of my complaints. Plus Create a Killstreak is so fucking Ace. Lol @ CliffyB getting called out. I guess he deserves it. Gears 2 is complete shit.

Me.  I don't really like the gameplay of Call of Duty.  But nonetheless, it's going to be an awesome game. "
I probably won't get it for the PC and FPS games on consoles give me motion sickness. Timesplitters 2 did back in the day and then COD4 did the exact same thing many years later. I can play CounterStrike on the PC for an entire day and feeling fine so I don't know, I'd rather get COD4 and then try that again on my PC and get through the story mode and then head into MW2.
