Miscellaneous Confirmations: (by people at this event)
- There will be a limited edition MW2 themed 360 coming out in November priced at US$399. It comes with the new 250GB Hard-Drive, 2 Controllers, and a copy of the game. You can see pics here and here.
- The infamous 'red hand' in the bottom corner of the Flag Runner video is now confirmed as a faction. It's apparently called; 'Militia'.
- Players will now unlock emblems and titles for their 'death cards'. We had assumed this, but it has now been confirmed.
- Shotguns & Sniper Rifles can now be silenced.
- Better customizable controls. For example, it doesn't have to throw grenades. For example, it can be a Throwing Knife, Semtex, or Blast Shield.
- New party support. Players in a party with you are identified by blue markers over their head. Easy to stick with your friends.
- When you use the riot shield, it obscures the bottom quarter of the screen and you move more slowly.
- Dual-Wielding is not limited to pistols. There were dual UMP's being used.
