Leaked Modern Warfare 2 gameplay features 3rd-person view

[digg]

Infinity Ward was surprised to see a leaked version of Modern Warfare 2's gameplay scattered throughout the internet. But being the good sports that they are, they confirmed that it was indeed a legitimate video of the highly anticipated Modern Warfare 2. Robert Bowling of Infinity Ward confirmed this on his Twitter account.

That's not even the best part of this news post. Infinity Ward added a third-person option and TheGo searched high, low and under Lindsay Lohan's skirt for the said leaked video and luckily we found it. You can watch it here. Earlier leaked versions of the videos were "removed due to terms of use violation" so we don't know how long the video's going to be available for viewing.

In case the video gets taken down for whatever reason, we made sure that we picked up a couple of screenshots.

It's not the clearest thing in the world but the screenshots confirm that Modern Warfare 2 can be played in "Rainbow Six" view.

Robert Bowling also sheds light on how the third-person view option fits into the game. Apparently, you can't switch views in-game; the third-person view is selected before a game starts and all of the participants in that game will play in third-person view.

Modern Warfare 2 is set for release on November 10, 2009 and gives you the option to purchase it with night-vision goggles.
