Modern Warfare 2 "caters to the hardcore gamer"

During the last couple of weeks the closed beta of Modern Warfare 2 (MW2) has been presented to the press at various events during Infinity Ward's trip through Europe. Detailed previews are popping up like mushrooms at numerous gaming sites, talking about their own little private time with the new game.


On the last event this Tuesday, Infinity Ward revealed that this beta was just the "tip of the iceberg" in terms of multiplayer content.

Speaking in London today, community man Robert Bowling said there's "a lot more" to be revealed in terms of unlockables for the sequel.

"The beta is really just the tip of the iceberg at this point, we're really just showing a little bit [of the game]," he said.

"There's a lot more to come, whether it be customizable kill streaks, custom death streaks, equipment like tactical insertion, Semtex grenades - all that stuff."

"What we're offering with Modern Warfare 2 is a ridiculous amount of customization. The lead-out is insane, you have all these attachments to choose from. It really caters to the hardcore gamer who wants to dive in deep," he said.

Now did he mean the hardcore competitive gamers? Not likely. And all the extra killstreak and deathstreak stuff will be removed in promod anyway. But with the immense load of extra features perhaps there will be at least something useful that can actually stir up the way Call of Duty is played in the competitive scene?
