In an attempt to block cheaters, Infinity Ward will not allow Xbox Live Party Chat in Modern Warfare 2. In fact, the option is very clear cut if you open a Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer mode while already in a chat scenario - Modern Warfare 2 will ask you to either quit your party chat, or quit the game.
The message that appears is an Xbox 360 dashboard message, rather than an in-game message. This means that gamers are likely to suffer this message in games of the future, not just Modern Warfare 2 on the Xbox 360. Obviously, PlayStation 3 players of Modern Warfare 2 won't get this message, as they don't have party chat.
It was also leaked late last week (and later confirmed by Infinity Ward) that Modern Warfare 2 will have 3rd person views in some of its multiplayer modes. Infinity Ward clarified when and how 3rd player mode will be used in Modern Warfare 2. The 3rd person mode will be available in private multiplayer matches, and all players will be forced to use the third person view if the option is on in the server. In other words, everyone will be on the same level if a third person match style is selected. There will also be special playlists that players can join which allow / require the third person mode.
The video revealed other playlist details as well, specifically modes that have been removed from the game:
- GONE - Cage Match was not found.
- GONE - Mercenary Team Deathmatch was not found.
- GONE - Old School was not found.
- GONE - Team Tactical was not found.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is out on November 10 on the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. It's rated M for Mature.
