Kotaku is reporting strange happenings at Infinity Ward, developers of Modern Warfare. It appears that Jason West and Vince Zampella, two lead developers at Infinity Ward in a meeting with Activision were dismissed. Activision have stated "The Company is concluding an internal human resources inquiry into breaches of contract and insubordination by two senior employees at Infinity Ward", "This matter is expected to involve the departure of key personnel and litigation".

MW2 DLC feature requests

The rumours are that there are 2 DLC packs lined up for MW2 (perhaps more). Obviously this will include new multiplayer maps, but what interests me is what else we might see (or would like to see).

My requests would be:

4 Player Special Ops - Surely not that difficult to include and I would say this is 1 place that MW2 is beaten my WaW. If 4 player mode were included, I don't see how many of the current missions would work, IW could perhaps alter a couple to be 4 player, but I think we would need some specific 4 player missions.

More Special Ops Missions -

Its all been quiet at CODnChips as we've all been playing MW2, obviously. In fact since release on the 10th, we've clocked in over 1 day of multiplayer each, and i am up to level 59 :o)

We have now unlocked a large percentage of the weapons, attachments, equipment and perks, so we will soon be updating CODnChips to give details of all these. Plus tips and tactics that we've so far learnt, either by trial and error or someone kicking our ass and giving us a good lesson.

No Aircraft Combat in MW2!

Nick — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 22:12:58 +0000

Just read this post at gamer central online - Modern Warfare 2 DOES NOT have underwater combat. Well bloody hell, what idiot would think that, just because there was a small FMV section of that in a trailer. I believe i saw some aircraft in one of the trailers, but, without confirmation, i reckon i could say 'No Aircraft Combat in MW2'.

I guess we are going to get a month of non stories til release.
