The good the bad and the ugly

Finally, we are getting some quality MP game footage from IW and the good the bad and the ugly bits and peices are falling into place. It's not easy to get a clear image of what this game will offer because the footage from Gamescon and Gamecrazycon were not fit for human consumption. And we seem to be living on bird feed and waiting for the droppings 402 gives us from twitter.
But this latest video titled, "Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer Gameplay Uncut: Flag Runner", despite being a mouthful is closer to giving us a real glimpse of what we have to look forward to.
This video shows CTF in all it's glory,and while IW still makes no mention of the PC game release it will no doubt make PC gamers happy to see CTF gameplay.
So what's the good, the bad, and the ugly in this latest video.
The good is displayed in the terrain shown in the map.It seems as if the map will use terrain elevation different from COD4. And the urban styling is new enough to make the game feel less like a copy of COD4 and more like a variation of it.
The bad for this map at least as far as I can see is the primitive texturing in it. The buildings are flat and boring along with everything else. The cars look as bad as they did in COD4 and maybe worse. There is no indication of a boost in texture quality from the touted "Texture Streaming" that IW crowed about. This game looks unfinished to me and it is entirely possible that it is not.
Now the ugly. The ugly thingamajig we have seen in other games...wait did I say thingamajig? Yes I did because I hope there is no proper name for throwing a melted red slushy in my face when I fire up MW2 MP. I guess that is somebody's blood on my nerd glasses. Spare me. I imagine this is meant as a disadvantage during game play when you are wounded. Maybe IW will say it was most requested in the #MW2 Twitters. IW you are responsible for throwing my 3 dollar slushy all over me. I will want that money back
Back to the good. Surprisingly, to me at least, is the use of shields in CTF. I really liked the way the avatars were leading the way with shields. I hope the competitors and Modders come to like this widget. Did I say widget? Yes I did but i like this gizmo. Yes, I hope the shield is accepted, because after all we can't play yesterdays game forever.
So, after seeing the video, and the good the bad and the ugly of it ,I feel like I am looking at COD4 with Thingamajigs and widgets and a sweet sheild. Oh...Im sorry, perks,acheivemants and whatever.Just get me online.
