If you have a weak heart or high blood pressure then please, I warn you, what you are about to see will get you more excited than the time you found out Sandy Mathison "like liked" you in grade 8. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the first multiplayer gameplay footage for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Though not much has changed between sequel and prequel in the looks department, the trademark silky smooth gameplay and gorgeous graphics are still the driving force behind some exciting new multiplayer features that ensure that Modern Warfare 2 ain't no Rainbow Six: Vegas 2.

The clip below shows off new weapons, a new Heads Up Display,in-game awards(Look out for 'Buzzkill' in the video) and best of all - Customisable Killstreaks. Call of Duty 4 gave you radar after three kills in a row, an air strike after five and a chopper after seven... and then nothing. Modern Warfare 2 looks to add more of a tactical edge to this by allowing you to choose your own reward. In this case, the reward is the ability to man the gunner seat on an AC130. Look out below though, because the antidote for such a powerful perk is the ground based stinger missile launcher that can quickly pull you out of the air like a pigeon on the other end of a 10 year old's BB Gun.

Like the marketing campaign for its predecessor, this 'debut multiplayer trailer' could very well be the first of a series of Multiplayer Perks related clips that Infinity Ward show leading up to MW2's release and maybe even culminate with a multiplayer beta. Look forward to some intense bi-weekly or monthly hootin' and hollarin' from this guy on the front page of this website. HOOWAH!
