Modern Warfare 2 Vows Authenticity Over Realism
In a recent interview, Vince Zampella, studio head of Infinity Ward, spoke in detail regarding Modern Warfare 2, and about his studio’s commitment to Modern Warfare 2, and keeping it as authentic as possible.
Talking to the Official Playstation Magazine, Zampella talks about how Infinity Ward is trying to make the highly anticipated Modern Warfare 2 as authentic as possible, not necessarily worrying about realism.
“We go for authenticity not realism… We’re not making a sim, we’re making entertainment. We want it to look real like an action movie.”
Zampella then goes on to talk about how futuristic weapons wouldn’t ruin a game’s authenticity.
“You see a guy in an action movie, what he does is a little over the top. It makes for a great movie.”

Actually if you call a game Modern Warfare, adding futuristic weapons does ruin the game’s authenticity otherwise it would be called Future Warfare. Honestly, all they need to do with this game is add some more features and write a new story and improve graphics a little more and they will have another AMAZING game. If they mess with the formula too much, like adding too much ‘over the top” stuff, then everyone who loved the original will be upset and you will have a failure on your hands.
i wonder how more real can they get?
How much real can they get? Maybe like…….when i shoot somone with a sniper from 5 feet away and he wasnt moving, he would actually die and not count as a miss? maybe>? just a little? or maybe i had a bad connection and some lag? maybe…….just a little…….lol
i just hope modern warfare 2 doesnt turn into a spam frag fest like modern warfare is. the grenades are stupid powerful and everybody has an arm like peyton manning. its pretty ridiculous and i hope they tweak that a little.
