'Modern Warfare 2' Dev Discusses The Evolution Of Soap MacTavish (And His Mohawk)

MTV Multiplayer writes:
"Recently we took a tour around the Infinity Ward studios to see the last few bolts being screwed on to "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2." We spoke to a bunch of folks from the team, and I'll be running clips from the interviews right on through to the game's release next Tuesday.

First up we have Joel Emslie, the Lead Character Artist for "Modern Warfare 2," discussing the returning characters. Don't worry, it's pretty spoiler-free, but he does explain why Soap (the returning protagonist from the first game) is now sporting a mohawk. Hmm...I guess he could've had one before and we just didn't know, but this time we get a face full of it."

I can tell you that Soap stole his look from Sev, who happens to be the lead character in Killzone 2. Personally I dont care if they stole the idea or not, but Sev has been in development for 4 years, as to where this dev doesn't even acknowledge the fact that Soap looks alot like Sev. Oh well, Killzone 2 = AAA. MW2 = AA 1/4

Pandamobile5313d ago

Because a mohawk is so original, right?

He looks more like the guy from Turok.

Overall, Killzone 2 will not touch this game. Whether it's gameplay, longevity of players playing the game, to sales, to everything else; except graphics.

Why even bother talking about the story? Not like MW2 has any. I have never been so dissapointed from one game to the other when it comes to story. They clearly concentrated on gameplay and online though, they did nail that right on the button.

JeffGUNZ5312d ago

Have you even played through the campaign? From what I have read, the story is epic and plays out like an action packed movie. What are you talking about? COD4 had an amazing action packed story as well.

Montrealien5312d ago

You can click on my profile my gamertag is there. I have gone through a good 40 minutes, just about finsihed the snow level. The game is great, but if I would compare the begining of MW1 to this, MW1 had an amazing intro, that this game sadly does not compare to.

don`t get me wrong, I think the game itself is insane and a blast to play, I just don`t feel for the story atm, but that`s just me.

JeffGUNZ5312d ago

I want to play the game! I doubt I will even touch the single player for months. I am all about the online with this game.

Montrealien5312d ago

And you will not be disappointed in the regards, I am positive.

MW3 shouldn’t leave Modern Warfare 2’s overlooked playlist behind

Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the biggest COD games yet features-wise, but it shouldn't leave out one of the best MW2 game modes in the rear view mirror.

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

PunksOnN4G285d ago

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood285d ago

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G285d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade284d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

fr0sty284d ago (Edited 284d ago )

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality284d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator283d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G284d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy85285d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai285d ago (Edited 285d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G285d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo285d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg284d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast284d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
