Modern Warfare 2 is going third-person! At least, to an extent . . .

Infinity Ward unveiled a new third-person multiplayer mode in the game . . . which is a new playlist type where all players taking part will be playing the game from third-person viewpoint instead of first-person! In addition, you’ll have increased bullet damage and a limited HUD display.

To quote Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling,
“3rd Person is a new playlist mode in Multiplayer. So you can play your favorite playlists [or] game types, like Team Deathmatch just standard, or in Hardcore mode ([with] limited HUD and increased bullet damage) or in the new 3rd Person mode, which means you and everyone in the game is in 3rd person.

When you’re in a 3rd Person playlist you can’t toggle in and out, you’re always in 3rd person. You can’t toggle 3rd person view on or off in a standard game type either, people in 3rd person can’t play with people in 1st person, they’re entirely different game modes. This is just another way to play the game.”

I think this is a pretty cool option. It’ll be interesting to see how differently the game plays in 3rd person compared to how it normally plays.
