A Closer Look at the Last Stand Video

[[MyIS]Spawndemon]

I was given this idea by a thread (http://www.charlieoscardelta.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=8386) posted over at Charlie Oscar Delta (http://www.charlieoscardelta.com/) by a member named xIGuNDoCIx. Taking a closer look at the Last Stand video (http://totalcod4.filecloud.com/files/file.php?user_file_id=496689) we released yesterday, you may or may not have noticed they showcased two multiplayer maps. You could easily tell the video featured two different environments but the most informative part comes from looking at the mini-map.

The first Last Stand sequence showcases a forest environment that seems to take place in a mountain type town. From the mini-map you can see there appears to be a river in the town with buildings along it and a bridge going across it. It looks like it will be a map with lots of close action combat with all the buildings being close together.

The second map showcased in the Last Stand video is a missile site with numerous missile silos in the ground. From the mini-map you can see atleast six different silos, some of which have the hatches open and smoke billowing from them. You can also see there is a back section of the map which features a truck facing into a warehouse type of building.

These are all of course speculations and nothing is confirmed or denied yet but I thought it would be interesting to take a closer look at the levels being shown in this latest video. What do you guys think about these two maps? What other environments would you like to see in the multiplayer maps of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare? Let us know what you think by posting in this thread!

I would like to see a antarctic environment, kinda like the players attacking a research base in the antarctic. Would make for some cool battles if there was a snow blizzard aswell. :D

That's how you get information out of a video what is meant to show us something completely different.

Great analysis. :)

A little update for you guys on the maps featured in the Last Stand video. Thanks to StormHammer over on the official forums, he's taken separate scenes from the film and matched the mini-maps together so you can get a better picture of the maps as a whole. Also with the snowy mountains in both and the scenery, we can guess the maps take place in Russia. Here are the mini-maps to check out (notice the first one actually has two bridges going across a river, so that will be a nice little town map):

They are screen caps from the new Last Stand video released. The video footage is taken from the console version of the game however.

The one problem is I'm a little tired of that engine. I am overly-used to "guy1 [weapon picture] guy2". What engine is that exactly?

The way a game shows the kill messages has nothing to do with the graphics engine it's running on... :|:

cant wait to play this game, do i really need a new video card?

At this point, it's too early to tell what will be able to run the game.

I mean, I'm just sort of tired of that engine and how it works and stuff. CoD multiplayer always for me seemed a little 'blah'.

IW said that they are going to optimize the game so even low end computers will be able to play it well enough that they have a good FPS on a graphics setting that doesn't make the game look horrible.

Like on CoD2, even if you have dx7 and low-medium settings, it still looked pretty good.

I think your card will run it OK. If it can't, then I'm stuck :(

I'd rather have that, than, "Player1 [MP5] Player2". No, not because I'm stupid...

[Splinter]

looks damm good.

Izzat reaction or izzat the game when they guy gets shot he goes right to prone and whips his pistol out or you think thats the player and hes just fighting back with a close range weapon?

Just seemed repetitive...
