OXM UK Modern Warfare 2 Hands On Verdict

L85 Assault Rifle Confirmed

October’s issue of Official Xbox Magazine (UK) features a Modern Warfare 2 “Hands-on verdict”.

Inside the article you will find details which include a double barreled shotgun that is fired using the left and right triggers, much like the new dual wield or ‘Akimbo‘ feature that was revealed early this week.

Amongst the article is a screenshot of a Humvee with a mini-gun on top crossing what looks like a damaged bridge with caption “Nothing like a convoy to get the blood flowing”.

OXM – “A level deals with a satellite that the evil Kazakh-types are working on, which may reflect that the over-arching storyline is due to deal with space based things in general. In an earlier build, we slyly spotted a level, or perhaps a sequence, labeled ‘International Space Station’. So make of that what you will.”

Probably the most notable of all the new info in the OXM article is the confirmation of a new Assault Rifle. It’s a weapon that a large percentage of the Call of Duty community have been requesting for Modern Warfare 2…. The L85 (SA-80) British Assault Rifle!

    Mc_Gumpy, how old are you? 12? Just because the British and the US are allies, does not mean that they are the “same”. How dumb are you?

    US is also allies with Norway, are they also the “same”? Lol.

    The biggest side-effect with the COD franchise is dumb kids, they base their military knowledge from the game, thinking that the game is absolutely authentic.

    Why do use capital letters in every word? Where the hell did you learn to write?

    Ghost I’m with you on this debate. The US and UK have different everything. They can’t look the same due to the fact that their equipment is almost polar opposites.

    Haha to be honest pretty much everything is defferent about British and US soldiers, even the camouflage is totally different.
