Modern Warfare 24/7 have updated their site with detailed information about Spec Ops. It shows the 4 unveiled types, Breach and Clear, Estate Takedown, O Cristo Redentor and Snow Bike Time Trial. Here is the page.
The fourth multiplayer map has been announced. The newest map is called "Rust".
It seems to be quite a small map, but obviously it makes up for it in height, and there seems to be plenty of cover. Judging by the terrain and weather it appears to be in Brazil so is probably a Task Force 141 and Militia map.
Infinity Ward released a brand new trailer "infamy" which is a definate must-see. IGN and GT have already made their analysis on the trailer, speculating just about everything. The original video is here, in Standard and High-Definition, and both the anaylisis' are here. Also, it has been confirmed that Cpt. Price will be reprising his role in Modern Warfare 2 as an NPC, whether it be in a flashback or direct gameplay sequence we don't know. Visit this thread for the whole story.

"During the last few months, Infinity Ward has teased gamers with short multiplayer trailers of the hotly anticipated Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. But apart from a few points gleaned from the videos (such as customizable killstreaks, riot shields, and being able to bring the rain with an AC-130), there have been few other details on just how the developer was planning to improve on the impressive multiplayer offering of the first Modern Warfare. That changed overnight: Infinity Ward released a ton of new information about online play in Modern Warfare 2 and allowed hands-on sessions for the first time. Greater customization, improved perks, deathstreaks, and new weapons and attachments are just some of the additions, which is all adding up to plenty of reasons for even the most dedicated prestige players to come back and wage war again."
S1MSTA has stepped down from his duty and dahui58 has taken his place. Congratulations and if some of you don't know who he is, I advise to get familiar with him as he will be leading us to the call of duty.

GamesCom 2009 is officially underway here in Cologne, Germany. While the show has a heavy focus on European games, there's still a huge presence of American titles, and few games from the States are as high-profile as Modern Warfare 2. We opened the show by checking out that game's new Special Ops mode, which expands on the format of the short, action-packed Mile High Club bonus level from Call of Duty 4 and adds some interesting new bells and whistles.
Here is the very first look at the modern warfare 2 prestige edition,hardened edition and the normal edition (Looks like that box art was real). Heres the link.(look inside). :0
