    Here's your first look at Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Activision has given our first look at Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2s multiplayer in a fresh trailer.

    Revealed during the Call of Duty Next livestream, the new Call of Duty:
    Modern Warfare 2 clip gives us our first look at several of the games new features in action. The games Gunsmith weapon customizer has been revamped, water is now a focus of the game, and even player movement has been spruced
    up with new toys like ledge hanging.

    Modern Warfare 2s multiplayer design director Geoff Smith said the team
    looked closely at the different player behaviors to push forward the multiplayer experience of the next Call of Duty. Theyve added a whole bunch
    of new mechanics off the back of that, both building of previous Call of Duty games, as well as adding totally fresh ideas.

    You can watch the trailer below to see it all for yourself. You can also sign up for the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 beta now. Map

    Multiplayer design director Geoff Smith said Modern Warfare 2s 6v6 maps have been refined to make for a tighter experience. In comparison to Modern
    Warfare 2019 , theyre a little more straightforward and refined, but will
    also play very quickly.

    We got a look at two of them. Sarrif Bay is a fishing town filled with boats and water which should allow for a lot of swimming. Expect lots of ledge hanging on the rooftops, too. Theyll provide a natural home for snipers

    Mercado Las Almas is a Mexican street market that makes for a tight urban environment. The map will play super fast with a lot of action funneled into its main street. Flanking will be extra important on this one. Water

    Joseph Cicot, Modern Warfare 2's co-design director of multiplayer Joseph Cicot, said water is more important than ever in Call of Duty. While some environmental design has come into previous games like frozen lakes in Warzone the aquatic experience will be essential to Modern Warfare 2.

    Youll have to use bodies of water for cover to escape enemy fire, jump into lakes to escape enemies, and be careful to avoid boats and floating mines. Only certain weapons function underwater, so youll have to rely on your sidearm rather than your primary weapon. But even theyll feel different underwater. Movement

    Modern Warfare 2 is offering a lot of new ways to move about the maps. Rather than just walking or running about corridors, youll be nipping about the
    place to evade enemy fire.

    Fluid movement is super important to us, said Cicot. Youll be able to slide and mount obstacles, but will now also be able to hang from a ledge while unloading your sidearm. The idea is to give yourself more protection from incoming fire.

    That should make for some pretty cinematic moments. Activision says youll be able to dive out of windows to escape grenades, or peek around corners to nip enemies in tactical firefights. Gunsmith 2.0

    Call of Dutys weapon customization system has received a major overhaul. Attachments will now be shared across all weapons, meaning you swap around paraphernalia more quickly, without having to grind each gun. The idea is to make guns more personal to you, as you outfit them with exactly the attachments you want.

    As youd expect, theres a bunch of attachments to choose from. Youll be able
    to swap around muzzles, sights, rear grip, magazine, grips, receiver, and more. It should make for a deeper Gunsmith system that caters to a bigger variety of players.
