New information regarding Infinity Ward’s upcoming Modern Warfare 2 has been shared in a demonstration given by the developer.

– Bullet and grenade physics have been improved and will be more realistic this time around. Grenades will roll down sloped surfaces and staircases while bullets while ricochet.

– Players will be able to use a gun in one hand and a knife in the other. This sounds like it might be more of visual gimmick than anything that will actually affectgameplay, as CoD4 already allows players to use the knife attack while using a weapon.

– Players will step into the boots of a Navy Seal diver.

– There is a level entitled “International Cyber Space”. No more details given.

– MW2 will feature bullet time moments, however, they will be included in specific set-pieces at the discretion of the developer in order to add to the cinematic affect, and will not be player controlled.

– New multiplayer modes will be revealed at E3.

– MW2 is promising some interesting new perks, including a shield.

– Challenge mode will provide specific challenges which players can attempt to take on. Players will be able to gain rank by completing challenges which will be timed.

– There will be more guns in MW2, while some guns available in CoD4 will no longer be available. No specifics were mentioned, however, it seems that players will be able to select their weapon payload for each mission.

– Environments will be more interactive and destructible in MW2.
