In not so great news, the flamethrower looks disgustingly overpowered...

I'd have to disagree, it has such a small range that it shouldn't be to much of a problem.

Let's hope so!

The thing that worries me is that it completely blocks your field of vision when fired at you, it'll be easy to just hide on corners with it. Combined with the Camper Camera it could be a cheap weapon.

Something was in world at war, it was easy to just get them before they got you. It just depends where your fighting.

Yep. I still hated getting killed by it in WAW though

But it also blocks your line of sight when firing it, so I think the Camper Camera will have to be a dead giveaway that someone is waiting. I just wonder how effective it will be.

They had a flamethrower in WaW, it really wasn't as OP as people thought it would be.

Was that a effin' mini-gun at the end of the video?
Can anyone say Predator?

It will probably run out of ammo/overheat very quickly, balancing it out...ish

Wow, after MWF2 I thought I'd swear off COD forever. But this. Looks. AWESOME! They really seem to have fixed all of the problems that plagued MWF2 and I love the different game modes. Best of all, the PC version will FINALLY have DEDICATED SERVERS! WEWT!

It looks like the ability to duel-wield is gone.

I'm really sad, 'coz two Mac-10s would be really sweet

No it's not, just look at the gun game.

Two of the tiers have akimbo weapons.

(Although that may just be gun game exclusive.)

Oh, my bad, that's what I meant. Akimbo in standard deathmatches.

Maybe they'll put it in, though. If they don't it's no big deal, MW2 was the first Call of Duty to feature it, but it would be nice :/

Alright got some new info:

Deathstreaks are gone

Private party chat is back

There will be no public beta

I'm not really thrilled that there won't be a beta. Commando is gone in place of the Douche Dagger, though, so one plus it seems.

Pro perks finally announced:


My god... this game may actaully be BALANCED! (shock, horror)

Fuck Second Chance though. Seriously. That shit sucks.

Second chance is back... NOOOOOOOOOOO

Was it ever gone?

No... it's back as in 'it's in the next game too'

The video was claimed by copyrights, damn Corptube.

As were most of the other ones. Dammit!

Slight of hand pro doesn't work with snipers anymore. I laughed at that, take that quick-scopers.

Honestly, I'm more worried about Hacker than Second Chance. Just like Woodysgamertag said, you should get the kills you earn, and stealing equipment and killstreaks seems like it's just that. It might be better if stolen/booby trapped killstreaks are replaced, but if not, it seems like people will use it just to piss people off.
Also, Ghost Pro seems unbalanced. That means that ghilly snipers hiding in bushes are now unstoppable, and the price tag doesn't seem like its enough of a discouragement.

Ghost pro is the exact same as it was in MW2, where it was primarily used for griefing purposes in third person mode. At least among my friends. And it's not like you won't be able to just look over and see the sniper anyways.
