MW2's "Big secret" uncovered

[HANDsolo]

For one you can peak around corners in that view and it will moot weapon upgrades.

Wouldn't that be an unfair advantage?

Next thing they will announce a series of puzzles we will have to solve to unlock the next stages.

Well as long as everyone is forced to play in third person then it should be fine.

[HANDsolo]

I want a cover system and chainsaw bayonets too!

[Gimaru]

How boring. Aw well, will get it when/if the price drops (dramatically).

and here i was hoping they would say Oh haha we got you of course there will be dedicated servers. but alas.

Maplassie you right COD4 does have that but its locked and only used for frag videos etc

but seriously lol to this.

Thank goodness they brought this view in. I guess all the problems with the dedi servers can be forgivin now.

No. I don't believe this.

Even an OTS like ME makes no sense, and if it is in, seems like it would just be a gimmick given the nature of the game. How would you use an attachment such as the heartbeat sensor? A 'soft' zoom like ME renders weapon attachments like red-dot/holographic sight useless, and I can't see how they could make the thermal scope work with this method (if it is game, of course). 3rd person and then a zoom to first person when you look down the sights would be a horrible combination in a game where you basically have to look down your sights for every kill unless it is close quarters and you're just spraying or using a shotgun/pistol. Plus, unless they have a cover system it seems silly.

I dunno, if it is in, maybe they can make it more than just a gimmick, but I'm doubtful.

[Solitude]

I reckon it's a good idea. Lots of people prefer a third person view.

I was hoping the "big secret" would be that MW2 is turnbased.

I didn't actally hear anything about this 'big secret' but if there was anything I think would make this game better, independently of the mp issues, and hope is included, it would be the dismemberment system from WaW.
