Modern Warfare 2 – Global Thermonuclear War Mode

Posted by famousfivenz On November - 22 - 2009

mw2rocketlaunch580pxheaderimg The first video of the yet unnanounced ‘Global Thermonuclear War’ mode in Modern Warfare 2 has made it onto YouTube. Using a devkit, one of those ugly, smelly, PC gamers has gained access to a hidden (or should that be discarded?) multiplayer mode.

The idea behind the mode is to capture small tactical nuke and then detonate it. The nuke takes for ever to capture though, so presumably the idea is that your team protects whoever is capturing the nuke for the duration, so they can win the match.

The rumours suggest GTW will be DLC and some people are hoping for a free download rather than a paid one.

I don’t think we’ll see either. The PC geeks already know how to unlok it, so they can play it if they really want, but in reality, who wants to spend the whole game lying on the ground trying not to get shot. As for the players defending you, all it’s going to take is one predator missile and you whole team is KIA.

I’m putting this out there right now, GTW Mode was a bad idea, IW realised how sucky it was going to be, so hide it in the code just before release.

It looks like headquarters style capturing not search and destroy. If its anything like HQ then the more people on the nuke the faster it will capture. if its is then i think we might end up seeing this game mode. I agree that air support would break this mode but if the nuke was in a save zone then it would actually be quite fun… like Headquarters but without having to run back and forth accross the map all game.

Well I notice he accumulated points as he captured… I wonder if it is a persistent capture thing where you don’t have to start again if you die, but continue to capture from where you left off. That could be fun.
