[PCGamer] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is bringing back third-person mode

Yea, I don't know how it works either.

Infinity Ward is dropping lots of new Modern Warfare 2 details during its Call of Duty Next(opens in new tab) event today, including the first trailer for multiplayer and details of Warzone 2.0's DMZ mode(opens in new tab). The trailer is pretty much your standard CoD promo—guns, explosions, a remixed song from the '90s. But for a brief moment, we got a glimpse at something that hasn't been in Call of Duty since the 2009 original Modern Warfare 2.

Remember third-person mode? It's back, albeit tentatively. As Infinity Ward flaunted this feature, it's unclear to what extent it'll be implemented in the final game.

The studio described third-person as a "modifier" that it can turn on for any multiplayer mode. That includes Warzone 2.0. It doesn't sound like IW is committing to third-person, but if it proves popular, it could stick around. It definitely looks a lot snazzier than the original Modern Warfare 2's official third-person mode from 2009. It was janky, weird, and definitely just a camera mod, but it had its fans. One of the implications for Warzone and other multiplayer modes would be the ability to see around corners without peeking, a style that PUBG players will already be familiar with.

#2  I don't play multiplayer, but the campaign in the last Modern Warfare (2019) was so well written, I had to include this sequel as a news item here, which it is.

Mexico is what caught my attention.

As a side note: Volodya (Putin) has given the writers at Infinity Ward so much new material for future iterations of Modern Warfare..

That's the good news.

The bad news:

Russians still are the Bad Guys.
