Fansite reveals current Modern Warfare 2 weapons roster, seems good all round

[Nemesis]

According to Modern Warfare 2 fansite, mw2blog.com, the current Modern Warfare 2 weapons roster goes something like the below.

 

Featuring current favourites from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, such as the G36C, M4 Carbine, SVD Dragunov and H&K MP5, as well as more recently released and concept weaponry, the weapons roster is currently looking pretty well rounded, with an already larger choice of weapons to the last Modern Warfare game.

 

Personally, I'm looking forward to trying out the various new shotguns and assault rifles, and seeing which packs the best punch. Also, the inclusion of a new pistol - the Glock, famous for reliablity and ruggedness - is nice to see, and shows that Infinity Ward haven't forgotten that a good sidearmis just as important as a primary weapon. Good stuff.

Impressive is all I have to say. Of course they didn't bring back the M21 sniper rifle. That was my favorite.

 

If you scroll down, it also says that RIOT SHIELDs sill be an available perk. LMAO that is awesome.

an FN FAL and a thermal scope...

Im excited to see if all the tweeting we did at the MW2 twitter page will pay off and there will be no more martyrdom.

Baby Eagle ???

 

What is that?

[John]

a reduced size and weight Desert Eagle that fires 9mm. .40 S/W and .45 ACP

[John]

from Magnum Research:

 

"The Baby Eagle is available in 3 calibers, with variations resulting in 11 separate models. The compact (short frame and barrel) and semi-compact (short barrel) pistols have the same excellent shooting characteristics as the standard (full-size) Baby Eagle and are ideal for shooters with smaller hands. All Baby Eagles are black and all are made of steel except the versions with polymer frames."

 

[John]

in other words- If you MUST conceal carry a Desert Eagle, this is what you would want

No MP5=Fail best sub machine gun out there, never used the p90 except to finish the class. How can you take that gun out of the game.

[bunni-rabbit]

no barrett i love that gun

[willywonka159]

Only 2 sniper rifles? What is this, SOCOM?

[o-BacklasH-o]

Yeah, I don't know about them not including the Barrett...Anybody see the FAMAS in there? You will be able to tell who played SOCOM that's on MW2 by the people that complain about it LOL. I personally don't use the thing, haven't since probably the first month I played Confrontation, but it will be interesting to see it in action on MW2. There's some really good additions on that list, especially the SPAS-12 for close quarters maps. I am really pumped for this and the MAG beta!

[[-VR-] Tool_Minion]

G3 with a red dot............who needs a sniper rifle.

[sharkbait2]

they have to be adding more than two snipers, unless they plan on using only small maps. I'm looking forward to the ice pick... haha

[bunni-rabbit]

minion u seen the barrett

Thought I'd add this here:

 

Infinity Ward blogger FourZeroTwo showed off the feature at a GameCrazy convention, blogging:

 

I was presenting a singleplayer mission at the GameCrazy show this morning on stage and happened to walk over a body that had Akimbo (dual wield side arm), therefore the icon for the weapon popped up on screen and the room went crazy with chants demanding I pick it up and use it.

 

So I did.

 

Happened to be dual Deagles. Now to calm some initial fears of "OMG! Overpowered!". Akimbo is limited and balanced, just like EVERYTHING in the game. It's limited to sidearms, harder to aim than standard and you can't go ADS (aim down sights) since you have a weapon in each hand; Among other balancing techniques, so don't freak out before you see it in action.

 

[IRISH BULL]

Can't wait! I read somewhere that there is a new MP vid coming out this week.
