CoD MW2 Update 1.04 brings these changes
in one official blog post the CoD developers at Infinity Ward have announced a whole handful of changes for CoD MW2 multiplayer. If you’ve already preloaded or played the campaign, you don’t have to do anything else – the patch will install itself when you start the Battle.Net app.
The three most important changes
Improved visibility: So that you can better distinguish between friend and foe, your opponents are now marked with a small diamond above their heads. Also, lighting and contrast have been adjusted for better enemy visibility.
You can revisit how difficult it was to spot enemies before in our beta gameplay video:

steps: The range at which you can hear enemy footsteps has been reduced and the overall footstep sound effect is now quieter. This should make it easier for you to approach your enemies without them hearing you coming from a great distance.
Third-Person-Modus: In a new game mode, your CoD should also play from the shoulder perspective for the first time – ideal for everyone who wants to admire their operator skins. Even if you aim over the sights and sights, you now remain in the outside perspective. Only if you screw scopes with a high zoom level (ACOG or higher) or special attachments such as thermal sights onto your weapons will the game now switch to the first-person perspective when aiming.
