Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 cover.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is set to become one of the best-selling video game of all time. Like with other video games, however, the first-person shooter changed over the course of development. This includes several cuts to the gameplay.
Fairfax S. McCandlish IV, the Lead Designer of Infinity Ward, revealed an exciting new sequence that was eventually cut in the upcoming PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 title. Here is his description of the action and explanation as to why it didn’t make it to the final product during the latest episode of GameTrailers’ Bonus Round:
Going back to first playable on Cliffhanger, we have a sequence at the very end of the level after riding snowmobiles where you actually lose the snowmobile and Soap is their saying, “I don’t trust you anymore, I’m going to drive” and you get on the back of his snowmobile and shoot backwards while a huge avalanche chases you down the hill building up steam and throwing all these snowmobiles all over the place. And then in the end we decided that we’ve bitten off just a little bit more than we could chew and actually get the game done in time.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for the will be released for the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 tomorrow.

Just because they didn't want delays? So they'd cut out as much epic stuff as possible just to meet release dates? That's bs T.T
@Sniper430: Welcome to real life, where deadlines do occur.
Uncharted 2 is undoubtedly the only game in the year 2009 to be having unmatched graphics fidelity and tremendous audio visual presentation.
Dont get me wrong,mw2 looks and plays really good,but it just cant come anywhere close to Uc2.
Technically speaking Uncharted 2 deserves the game of the year awards,BAFTA's etc.
Game of the year awards should just not be blindly awarded to games which just sell more(MW2)
I hate MW2
He really wanted to say; their wasn't enough space on the xbox 360 disc, so we had to cut it out of the game.
i really like how infinityward push storytelling through gameplay and don't use cutscenes
its easy to do story-telling in a 4-5 hour campaign...
MW2 = EPIC FAIL
Uh there is a reason why MW2 sold more. Because it has the mass appeal to a lot more people than Uncharted 2 does which is a good game but more people wanted something that not just looks good... but wanted to have the authentic multiplayer gameplay experience that only Modern Warfare could bring to the table. I truly hate how some of the fanboys on here use it as an excuse to criticise the Xbox and choose to see things from a Two dimensional perspective and stick to their PS3's and curse others. Both Modern Warfare two and Uncharted are two different games that shouldn't even be compared.
Got something to say?
