Great game, and a great song!  I had to look this trailer up again after playing through MW2, it really fits the mood and got me pumped.  Good marketing!

I got the game early and I can safely say the space part is a very small part. It lasts about a minute. It's for story purposes

 I never heard of this series....was the first one any good?   It doesn't look real original - trying to copy the whole Halo 'Space Marine' thing.   Been there, done that.....

@Rewcastle: It does suit the game though. Soldiers like rap. What would you rather hear? Some Hans Zimmer strings and bullcrap? That shit has been played outsince the late 90's.

All you people talking shit about music, you might want to listen to the words, or the whole song! It's about soldiers will.

Could not agree more.  I wish I had seen that trailer with the sound muted.  Sigh... "
Did you guys play to the end of the last game? Seriously, what do you think US Marines listen to? The symphonic theme from "The Few, The Proud, The Marines" commercials?

Impressive.  
 
Zatoichi_Sanjuro  Good catch, but I would assume that was footage from an early build of the game.

The more pre-release stuff I see, the more I feel like I have no idea what to think about Modern Warfare 2 until it actually comes out. Some of it seems too crazy, some of it seems just right. I really can't tell at this point.

I thought the trailer was pretty meh. I generally don't like trailers that do the stupid split second clips with a ton of fades.

If anyone keeps referring to "rap doesn't mix with COD" then please let me redirect you to the credits in COD4. This isn't the first time we've had rap in the series.
