Modern Warfare 2 Details Appear News

Game Informer has hit the newsstands and already the details on Modern Warfare 2 have found their way onto the internet.

Scans from Giant Bomb reveal more about the wintery theme that has been hinted towards in the past, along with confirmation that Captain "Soap" MacTavish is making a comeback as an NPC during an initial assault on a fortified enemy base on top of a frozen mountain.

Following events from the original Modern Warfare, the sequel once again finds the world in turmoil with dangerous political instability in Russia. 
Disposing of the evil warlord Zakhaev in the original has only served to cast him as a martyr, with his former associate Makarov stepping into the recently vacated role.

Infinity Ward isn't revealing too many details at this stage, but it seems they want to mirror the real world with disputable information that can't always be relied upon under close scrutiny - weapons of mass destruction anybody?

Further details about the length of the single-player mode (Infinity Ward were happy with Modern Warfare), the decision to steer away from co-op, and the new Special Forces mode are all featured in the magazine.
