A few days ago US magazine Game Informer revealed some new details on Modern Warfare 2. Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish is back as an NPC leading Task Force 141 through snowy mountain terrain on the tail of a Russian terrorist group looking to build on the international chaos caused by Zakhaev and his naughty nuclear bomb detonation in the first Modern Warfare title.

Jason West, president and CTO of Infinity Ward, is quoted as saying, "The gameplay is wide open and has a lot of variety." It was also mentioned that there will be no co-op campaign. West said, "We did a lot of co-op stuff early on that we were interested in [...] it didn't work with the story mode at all." However, a report on CVG suggests that there will be a Special Forces mode with a series of co-op missions. The CVG piece also suggests that player characters will now be able to scale walls and drive vehicles.
