Single Player
Single Player will NOT include Co-op. There will be a separate game mode named Special Ops (Similar to Treyarch’s Nazi Zombies) that will require 2 players to play. The campaign will take you through the snowy mountains of Russia as well as the sweltering hot climate of Rio de Jeneiro. As in previous CoD’s, you will follow the paths of 2 different soldiers of different countries. Your new enemy is known as Makarov and is an ally of Zakhaev, the man whom you killed at the end of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Multiplayer
Please check the Multiplayer Thread located HERE
There will NOT BE ANY TYPE OF BETA OR DEMO PRIOR TO THE RELEASE OF THIS GAME. It is estimated that there will be 35 new weapons and there will be new perks as well as changes to perks. It is confirmed that everybody’s favorite perk, Martyrdom, will be changed in one way or another (whether that be blast radius or reduced damage is unknown.) Prestige mode will return to MW2 and the kill streaks will be customizable. The first 2 multiplayer Map Packs will be timed exclusive for the Xbox 360 (that only means 360 will get the maps first and that does not say there will only be two map packs)

INFORMATION FROM 9/15/09 I've tried my best to collect most if not all new information that was released out of the multiplayer event. More information should be releasing in the coming days and I will update this post accordingly. Now, dig in!

New Perks and Death Streaks
Marathon- Unlimited Sprint
Lightweight-Move faster
Commando- Increased melee distance
Hardline- 1 less kill required for killstreak
Scavenger- Full resupply from dead bodies
Bling- 2 Primary Weapon Attachments
Coldblooded- Undetectable by UAV, air support, sentries and thermal.
(DS) Copycat- Steal your killer's class in killcam. 4 deaths without kill. Keep class only 1 life.
(DS) Painkiller- 10 second health boost when you spawn Killstreak Rewards 3- UAV 4- Care Package- Random killstreak. Throw down a special smoke grenade to call in an airdrop of goodies on your location. Your reward might be something simple, like an ammo refill, or something awesome, like an instant advanced kill streak. The catch is that everyone, including enemies, can see the packages location on their radar. This isn’t necessarily a drawback, however, as they can be used as bait for ambushes. 4- Counter UAV - (Disables Enemy UAV) 5- Sentry Gun (automated deployable machine gun) 5- Predator Missile 6- Precision Airstrike 7- Attack Helicopter 9- Pave Low - Link 11- AC-130 Confirmed Weapons M4A1 Assault Rifle L86 LSW Assault Rifle Colt .44 Magnum Sidearm (some of the SMGs can be dual-wielded, ala PP-2000) Special Grenades and Equipment Frag Semtex (sticky grenade) Throwing Knife Tactical Insertion- Allows you to choose respawn point. Lose mini-map. Blast Shield - Increased explosive resistance

Your special grenade slot isn’t just for grenades any more. In order to add a little more variety to the gameplay, and give advanced players an option other than grenade spamming, Infinity Ward has introduced some pretty exciting new weapons. Among them are Symtex sticky grenades, throwing knives, a blast shield (a face mask which offers extra protection), and my personal favorite, “Tactical Insertion.” Tactical Insertion equips you with a special marker which you can throw anywhere. As long as it isn’t destroyed by an enemy, you’ll respawn wherever you left the marker. There’s nothing like appearing behind the guy who just knifed you in the back...REVENGE!-GR

Secondary Weapons

Secondary weapons are no longer just pistols – they include machine pistols, shotguns (standard and automatic), and various rocket and missile launchers. This is great news for snipers, who will no longer be helpless in close-quarters (an automatic shotgun is a sniper’s best friend). And with a well-fired missile, you can take down helicopters, AC130s, UAVs and other nuisances. -GR

Riot Shields

If you need a change from the usual strategy, try replacing your primary weapon with a riot shield. It’s bullet proof up to a point, and makes you a pretty damn menacing opponent. You can’t shoot and hold the shield at the same time, but you can bash people’s heads in, and when you’re using your secondary weapon, the shield is stowed on your back, giving your quantum singularity a little extra protection. Combine this with a blast shield, and your enemies will have a hell of a time knocking you down.

Attachments

CoD4’s red dot sight, grenade launcher, and suppressor are still here, but there’s so much more. Attachments no longer refer to just physical objects and properties, they can refer to skills too. Akimbo (dual wielding) and Rapid Fire are a whole lot cooler than “Digital Camo.” Other new attachments include a heartbeat sensor, thermal scope, and tactical knife. In other news, sniper rifles can now be fitted with suppressors. “Run and gun” players may not like the change, but sneaky bastards like myself are all over it. Shotguns are now suppressible too. -GR

Accolades (post-game awards) None Spared - Killed entire enemy team. Switchblade - Most knife kills. Grudge Match - Most kills of same player. Pathfinder - Most UAV's. Sprayer - Most hip-fire kills. Vengeful - Most paybacks. New Game Modes Demolition- Demolition is very similar to the old CoD standby of Search and Destroy, except now there are two bomb points on the level and players are allowed to respawn. One team defends while the other attacks the bomb points, with the attacking team trying to blow up both points in the allotted time. A total of two rounds are played, with both teams taking turns being the defenders and the attackers. -GS MW2 Presentation (via @pstjoker)

Afghan is a rocky desert map, the centerpiece of which is the ruins of a downed jumbo jet. The open central area, which contains the aeronautic set piece, is great for snipers as it’s overlooked by several high cliffs and bunkers. At the northern and southern ends, the passages become more confined in caves and on ledges, and the fighting gets more intense. -GR

Favela

The term “favela” means shanty town, which, you guessed it, is what this is. The best way to conceptually divide this map is into two sections – the high ground and the low. The high ground is on the rooftops, which provide little cover but offer faster travel and a broad view of the larger streets and objective sites. The low ground is great for making escapes, as you can disappear around corners faster than your pursuer can rattle off bullets, though you must always be weary of the marksmen who lurk above. -GR

Highrise

This map’s uncharacteristic modern urban setting is very welcome. The map is comprised of the roof of an unfinished skyscraper (complete with helipad), two interior office spaces at the northern and southern ends, and a passageway which connects the two sides. -GR

Killstreak Reward Menu (via @pstjoker) Callsign Menu (via @pstjoker) In this picture you will find the callsign, which will be customizable with a myriad of options from title, emblem, rank, etc as well as what looks to be post-game accolades.

Aha! That's why we have callsigns, which are essentially big customizable plaques which pop up when you score a kill or perform a commendable action. Callsigns include a title, which is a string of letters (in this case "My name is"), an insignia (that ghostly fellow), a background, and, of course, your gamertag and rank. The titles, insignia, and backgrounds are all unlockable, and there are hundreds of them unlock. You can unlock them by leveling up, or by completing certain prerequisites. For example, we unlocked the “Accident Prone” insignia, presumably from falling off too many ledges. -GR
