Well from what I've read and seen this is just an option on private matches so no 3rd person on campaign and no 4rd person on public multiplayer.

Mabye they are testing the waters for something bigger? Perhaps an entire COD game in 3D person?

Well this opens it up to people who enjoy that kind of thing. I would play it a couple of times just to see what it is like maybe it will make the transition from uncharted 2 a little easier for me

im guessing its either replay function like the halo games or just floating respawn camera

I thought that was spectator mode?

Meh, I'm not buying it. I don't agree with their pricing bravado.

Somebody start a petition...

I think it's time to start a media boycott on this game - before every little surprise is ruined.

For you people saying that a 3rd person camera would eliminate camping, you obviously don't play Socom. It facilitates it. This is BECAUSE you can look around corners.

Hopefully IW will stick to their bread & butter - FPS - and not try to expand to 3rd person. I say this because they will not be able to do it better than Uncharted 2 or Gears of War so why add a blemish to a masterpiece just for the sake of having more features?
In the video I didn't see the character use cover and it reminded me of looking at a mod that someone made. So it seemed to not meet the high quality bar that IW set with COD4.

Again this is probably spectator mode.

its not an advantage if everyone else can do it.

this is why i love RB6V 1-2 soooo much. FPS+3rd person for cover.

man they need to do a new RB6. "where" is kinda hard to decide. NY city would be cool. awesome sniper missions across buildings. repelling into office buildings taken over by terrorists or something. maybe PETA(joke).
huge multi floor missions,i would love to do a bank robbery hostage situation. that would be awesome.

maybe a new feature could be splitting up into 2 groups of 2 and switching between them on the fly. also 4 player coop online. 2 teams of 2.

single player you can play one team and the other is AI controlled. if you switch to the other team, the AI takes over the other team. like maybe A has to take some hostages out of the building and B has to continue or hold their ground and wait for the other team to return.
maybe not button switchable but at certain check points. or hit select for a map view then you can switch. maybe you cant switch if you are being attacked, but if you are in the clear you can.

wow the more i think about it NY city would be awesome!

Gears Of War already filled out the best 360 3rd person shooter. Sorry MW2.

How is it disillusioned to hate fps? I prefer third person by far.

Playing FPS for too long gives me nausea. If this had more 3rd person I might actually be enticed to play.

Yay! Now I can look around corners and see how well I'm hidden! ITS SOOOO REALISTIC!

I certainly don't mind IW adding features to there game, especially if it provides options. For those of you trying to get a laugh by making fun of the petition for dedicated servers... you're idiots. PC gamers aren't upset that they are adding IWNet, they are made because they are removing dedicated servers. If they announced that they were adding third-person view, but removing first-person view, I think this rumor would be received much differently. Again, more options are great, as long as they don't destroy/remove options that were working just fine.

No this is real, there is a video where the guy goes into the match from the menu and picks his class and goes straight into the game, no spectator mode. FourZeroTwo stated a couple weeks ago that there was something they haven't shown yet that will "make you change the way you play the game". I believe this is it. A couple hours after this video was released last night, 402 posted this on his twitter "Just an FYI, if you're wanting a spoiler free and pure Modern Warfare 2 experience, now would be a good time for a media blackout. #MW2".

If it's even real, IW won't admit anything about it, at least until the game has been released. They're just going to ignore this. After all, the release is only 2 weeks away.

Gears of Duty: ODST ?

I wish that the quality wasn't shit... but this seems pretty legit.

if it goes TPS i'm in!

Why is this spoilerish? This would actually encourage more Japanese users playing it.

As some have noted, the box isn't exactly the current PS3 box. Crazy stuff, man. Crazy stuff.
