For those of you that were put off by the Nazi Zombies in World at War will be pleased to hear that there will be no zombies in Modern Warfare 2.

It depends on what it is. For us it didn’t fit in our game. We have Spec Ops which is our off-the-storyline path, but it’s just not our bag really. We like to keep it consistent and in the same universe, not to say that we wouldn’t do something like that in the future, but for what we are doing right now it’s just not something we’d do. We want everything to… like things we do in multiplayer contribute to things we put in the single-player, which contribute to things we put into multiplayer, which contributes to things we put in Spec Ops. If you have ray-guns and teleporters it’s not going to help.

Did you want zombies in or out?

Infinity Ward just uploaded some new gameplay for their upcoming title Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. A new multiplayer mode was shown called Flag Runner. It’s just like Capture the Flag, you’ll be able to run and shoot with the flag. Two new kill streaks was also seen, called Air Drop, and Predator Missile. The riot shield was also shown having the teammate cover the flag carrier. Host migration has also been added, so when the host disconnects, a new host will be automatically chosen. It’ll possibly break up the combat for a few key seconds, but it’s better than not being able to complete a match. The last new feature seen, was a soldier sneaking up behind a sniper. Instead of running up behind him and knifing him, instead he throws the knife at his enemy, gaining an instant kill. Check the video out below.

Infinity Ward just released on their Youtube Channel a video of the multiplayer in action. Few new weapons were shown along with a Kill Streak Perk system. You’ll be able to customize your Kill Streaks. So far only one has been shown at the current moment. The AC-130 Gunship Perk allows you to rain fire down on your opponents down below while the plane flies overhead. It also appears that you can attach the motion sensor shown in the E3 demo to your weapons, as shown on the SAW. Also you can stick grenades on your opponents.
