A new leaked footage of Modern Warfare 2 (PC, PS3 and Xbox 360) has circulated around the net earlier indicating that the game might feature a third person viewpoint. Well low and behold, Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling has stepped up to clear the air and confirmed the big news to everyone. According to Bowling, the third-person mode will only be available in private matches. More after the break.

After announcing the new matchmaking service that Infinity Ward will be putting up in lieu of Modern Warfare 2's dedicated servers, we now have some more in-depth detail regarding this new service. Robert Bowling, aka fourzerotwo, provides us with the deets.

PC gamers have gone up in arms about Infinity Ward's decision to cut dedicated servers from Modern Warfare 2. Petitions have edged close to 90K signatures mark, but it doesn't seem like that's going to change anything soon. Dedicated servers won't be coming back, but they do have something to take its place.

We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there will be NO dedicated servers or mods for the PC version of Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2 (also on PS3, Xbox 360). Community Manager Robert Bowling, aka fourzerotwo, said so himself in a podcast.

Infinity Ward was suppose to offer a full cooperative play for Modern Warfare 2's (PS3, Xbox 360, and PC) story mode, but decided to drop it in the last minute because it ruined the experience. So instead of a full co-op mode, the devs decided to include Spec Ops mode. Check it out after the jump.

If you've seen this Modern Warfare 2 trailer, chances are you know something about Killstreaks by now. Infinity Ward hasn't fully divulged the 411 on the game's Killstreak system yet, but community manager Robert Bowling did shed some light on it in a recent PSM3 feature.

Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling has confirmed that vehicles will not be part of Modern Warfare 2’s (Xbox 360, PS3, and PC) multiplayer. More info after the break.

No, it's not going to turn into Modern Warfare 2: Blood on the Sand, but rapper/entrepreneur 50 Cent will indeed be lending his vocal skills to Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360, PS3, and PC).


Props to NeoGAF member bluescreenoflife for the pic.

Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling has tweeted via his fourzerotwo Twitter account that a new patch for the online exploits in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is currently in the works. So to those taking advantage of these exploits, for certain player advantages over others, those days of exploitation are numbered.

We still don't have any word on how high those night vision goggles will jack the Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition up (my guess: a LOT), but Infinity Ward's Robert "fourzerotwo" Bowling has revealed the price point for the goggles-less Hardened Edition.

**Update** The Prestige Edition has been priced as well.
