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.
