Infinity Ward creative strategist Robert Bowling has confirmed that one of Modern Warfare 2’s more contentious perks – Commando – has been removed from Modern Warfare 3.
Responding to a question about Modern Warfare 3’s melee system on Twitter, Bowling responded “It’s been balanced, plus Commando is no longer in the game. Beyond that, you’ll have to wait and see.”
In Modern Warfare 2, Commando dramatically extended melee range – giving players about three meters of instantaneous stab power if they so much as wafted their thumb over the right analogue stick. The Pro version of Commando completely negated fall damage, too, allowing players to leap off the top of buildings and land without a scratch.
Modern Warfare 3’s full multiplayer reveal will be at the Call of Duty XP event in September. Activision will be giving away free tickets to whoever wins a UK tournament on August 7.
Call of Duty 4 had Martyrdom, Modern Warfare 2 had Commando… I’m 82% sure Modern Warfare 3 will be able to cook up something uniquely infuriating of its own.
