Lame rumors are Lame.

I preferred when rumors were ground breaking, like when we were making that Sci-fi Stealth Assassin game in space.

Source: neogaf forums. Funny, this is starting to make the rounds but several "Media" sites seem to forget to source their info....

Scorpion, P90, M21, R700, G3, G360 will not return

If thats true that wont go down to well especially with the G3 being omitted. G3 is a nice gun to use in wars. Scorpion is too over powered but I dont see why it should be left out. Just needs tweaked.

Misnomer

This is actually hilarious. If they manage to just ignore rumors like this officially and keep leaking tiny things every so oftem, they will have tons of free PR on the webs.

We actually saw a lot of this with the COD:W@W release. Of course they removed some of the notable "features" from multiplayer well before release (climbing trees playing dead).

People who get worked up over which weapons will be in is kinda silly. There are only so many types of weapons possible in "realisitc" games. So unless you are really attached to your 3d model, I am sure you will learn to use the new semi-automatic rifle to replace the G3 and the new automatic with high muzzle flash and low recoil to replace the G36.

If you know IW like the modders do, you would realize that they will probably just steal the code from the COD4 weapons and throw some typos in to make the new guns.

Yet another reason to play TF2, the only original weapons design since Halo (only first versions of the alien weapons really).

Sorry fellas, but count me as unimpressed.

If there is any truth at all in this rumor, then MW2 appears to be going down the road of another mediocre game.

I admin an independent pub with no real clan affiliation. Just a server for guys to hop on, rack up kills, talk trash, and have fun. For MOH: Airborne, COD:Modern Warfare, and CoD:WAW, I ordered a server long before the game was released, and had the server configured and ready to go on day one so as to build a loyal following of regular players early on and keep the server populated.

I will now wait until a game is released, has been thoroughly and accurately reviewed and vetted by admins on this great forum as well as others, and see what the company patch support is like, before I even consider purchasing the game or putting up a server. EA Games, IW, Treyarch, have burned me into caution.

I may not represent alot of players, but I will proceed with caution with ANY new game from now on.
