Rumor: first round of CoD Modern Warfare 2 details leaked? *Update* debunked
Yeah, here’s one for CoD-prestiged pal, EmilioB. We got a whole bucketload of details for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (aka CoD6)! The catch here is… it’s a rumor. Supposedly, it was leaked straight right out of Infinity Ward‘s cooking labs. And it’s either that, or you could err on the side of caution, and simply write it off as some fan’s wish list. CoD6 “changelog” in the full article!
*Update* List debunked. Sorry, EmilioB. :-p
“Say, did you get the memo on this?”
Yeah, here’s one for CoD-prestiged pal, EmilioB. We got a whole bucketload of details for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (aka CoD6)! The catch here is… it’s a rumor.

Well, maybe not so much as a wish list, since some items down there may or may not be good for the lot of you. For all intents and purposes, it looks like CoD6 will be taking some elements from the previous games (mostly Modern Warfare, of course).
- Vehicles will be in MW2
- M16 will return, using stopping power will only be OHK at head, neck, and torso (abdomen, limbs, and hands/feet will not)
- Ak47 and M4 will return, unknown if there are any changes
- M40 will return, ACOG damage boost will be fixed
- Scorpion, P90, M21, R700, G3, G360 will not return
- There are more unknown weapons that will not return
- New sniper rifle: SR25M (United states forces)
- New Assault rifle: Diemeco C8 (Canadian forces M4 equivelant)
- New Assault rifle: L85A2 (United Kingdom forces)
- Total weapons in multiplayer are said to be around 35
- Favourite Modern warfare 1 maps will return
- Helicopters, air strikes, UAV will return
- Red dot sightings will come in different shapes for multiplayer (circular, square, original)
- Snipers will have special grass camouflage (As seen in Modern warfare 1Â’s campaign)
- All perks will return from MW except eavesdrop and others will be altered
- All gametypes will return from MW and all will have hardcore versions
- New gametype: Secure (Call of duty version of capture the flag, however you capture the enemyÂ’s Intel)
- New gametype unconfirmed name, similar to search and destroy, however instead of trying to plant a bomb, you try to kill a specified enemy
- Solider customization for each class (and each country)
- Sniper with silencers will NOT be in multiplayer
- There are NO bots in local multiplayer
- Similar version to Nazi Zombies, however details are unknown
- NO guest players online, 1 player per console
- Killcam save feature
- There is blood and gore
- Offline/Online Co-op
- Story takes place in the Middle East
- Role as US marines return
- Ken Lally voice work in campaign
- Release is set for sometime in November
- New army tags will be available to add different elements in campaign (similar to halo skulls)
- Campaign-only weapons
Most of the items here sound believeable, but of course, we’ll have to wait on actual word to confirm any of it yet.
Thanks to Kalvin T for the tip, and elite999 for some clarifications!

*Update* Aww. Sorry, EmilioB. And to the rest of you guys who were hoping for this. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. The list is now debunked by Infinity Ward.
It didn’t come from anyone who has access to our internal builds and indeed contains several features that are already in CoD4 such as grass camo for snipers. In short, it’s BS.
In fact, the NeoGAF thread where the list originated from already contains some replies from none other than CoD community manager Robert Bowling (FourZeroTwo) and one of Infinity Ward’s programmers (Rayme).
Though the list is debunked now, that doesn’t mean some of the items here won’t eventually appear on CoD:MW2.
