Modern Warfare 2 sees major changes to multiplayer ahead of its release. Taking feedback from the beta, players can now spot enemies easily as diamond icons will appear above their heads on the battlefield. Lighting and contrast have been improved so that players can see enemies in-game better.<\/p>\n

Moving on to audio, the game has reduced the volume of the enemy footsteps. The same goes for teammate footsteps as well, which will be quieter. The in-world activation sound effect volume range for the Dead Silence field upgrade has also been reduced.<\/p>\n

Aiming down sights will stay in third-person POV for low-zoom optics. Only high-zoom optics that begin with the ACOG and higher and special optics such as Hybrids and Thermals will revert to first-person POV. Infinity Ward believes that this will keep the game balanced and enhance the third-person experience. The company has explained that the feedback on this mode has been very positive.<\/p>\n
