A new video that shows the entire loadout screen, revealing the weapons and perks in CoD:MW2.

EDIT: Video was disabled.  Link posted to an unconfirmed list of all perks with their Pro (2nd unlock) equivalents:

http://www.themodernwarfare2.com/mw2/multiplayer/perks/

Last Stand | Last Stand Pro

Ability: This allows you to survive a normal death. You will drop to the ground and pull out your pistol.

Last Stand ends after ~10 seconds or if you get shot again, which results in your death. You can also crawl in the Last Stand mode.

Pro Ability: Same as above, but this allows you to use your equipment too.


Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

Killstreak bonuses (again, unconfirmed) : http://videogamesrepublic.com/?p=12111

3 Kills - UAV
4 Kills - Care Package
4 Kills - Counter UAV
5 Kills - Sentry Gun
5 Kills - Predator Missile
6 Kills - Precision Airstrike
7 Kills - Strike
7 Kills - Attack Heli
8 Kills - Emergency Airdrop
9 Kills - Pave Low
9 Kills - Stealth Bomber
11 Kills - Chopper Gunner
11 Kills - AC-130
15 Kills - EMP
25 Kills - Tactical Nuke

 

A few interesting takeaways:

1) The perks now have a basic level initially unlocked when you reach the level requirement and a second level to the perk later unlocked by completing specific challenges.

2) The secondary weapon slot which normally gave a choice of handguns also gives the option to equip shotguns, explosive launchers and small automatic weapons.

3) The ass this game will kick; there will be much of it. Big Smile

Voted No, not interested.  Primarily due to what they're trying to pull with the PC edition, but even still, 4 didn't hold my interest as long as W@W did, so I'm not willing to pay a HIGHER pricetag for more of the same.

While I might get it down the road when it goes on sale for $20ish, more likely than not I'll be skipping this one altogether, for by then I'll be looking at releases of Bad Company 2, Supreme Commander 2, and Starcraft 2 (not really interested there, but I'll probably get dragged into that one).

They don't deserve my dollar here.  Blur (racing title) looks kind of neat though.

Voted yes, as I'm not passing up MW2. Its gonna rock again. W@W was complete ass, so it will be nice to play a CoD game from an actual competent studio.

lol, appears IW is taking out a staple facet from each platform with this release...dedicated servers gone for PC users, no party chat for Xboxers, what is PS3 going to lose?  The ability to reload?

No party chat during some playlists on ranked matches. It is not accross the board. Most are assuming this is for Search & Destroy mode. but this is all rumor over a screenshot, and has not been confirmed by IW.

Updated the OP with a link to a unconfirmed (but seemingly legit) list of  perks and a second link for killstreaks.

One other fun video (that does work) showing the reward for a 25-kill streak...a tactical freakin' nuke.  Bask in the awesome while it melts your face off:
