(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Earlier this afternoon, IW_Scriptacus answered some interesting questions regarding MW2!

On Monday, an Infinity Ward Forum member created a thread in which the entire community could contribute questions about Modern Warfare 2 that they would like answered. Despite the thread collecting a large number of replies, it was not known whether a kind member of the IW team would take a few minutes to answer some of them.

This afternoon, or 2:30pm LA time to be precise, the staff member IW_Scriptacus replied to the thread with many of the questions answered. Here's what he had to say:
Source: here »
IW_Scriptacus: As with anything, I can't go into much detail. Apologies in advance for any "non-answers".
Quote: "Will we have a new variety of maps, like one that includes snow?"
IW_Scriptacus: I think you'll be quite pleased with the variety of map styles and locations in MW2.
Quote: "How do Supply Drops work?"
IW_Scriptacus: Supply drops are cooler than any of the speculation I've seen on these boards.
Quote: "Alrighty then, do you feel that the sniping concept in the game has been expanded on greatly? (Ghillie, Sway, Attachments, Number of weapons)"
IW_Scriptacus: I think those that enjoy sniping will find a lot to like in the game.
Quote: "Do you think the game plays/feels like COD4? Or does it just feel different?"
IW_Scriptacus: It definitely feels the same from a movement and control perspective. Beyond that, I'll say that after playing MW2 it's really hard to go back to COD4.
Quote: "Do you feel that riot shields fit in comfortably? I am really worried about them :/"
IW_Scriptacus: The riot shields are awesome. Keep in mind that all of the MP designers play a ton of different MP games and have been doing so for years. We're not designing in a vacuum here.
Quote: "Can we expect to rank up at a pace similiar to CoD4? Also, are there any incentives to prestiging in the new game?"
IW_Scriptacus: I'm confident that people who prestige won't regret doing so.
As expcected IW_Scriptacus has been very complimentary about the game (Well, he's hardly going to point out the games flaws, if there's any, on his workplace's forum is he!) and has provided us with a few hints towards MW2.

Here's a quick summary:

•Some form of rewards for players who prestige
•Supply Drops will function in a way that works better than theories regarding it may suggest
•Riot Shields will be flawed and therefore balanced
•There should be a treat in store for snipers
•It handles in a very similar way to CoD4 but is better overall
