The Infamy of Modern Warfare 2

This is taking things to whole new level and now we can finally understand why you could see the partially destroyed Capitol building in the background of the Box Art.
 
The trailer is indeed awesome, maybe a bit too awesome at first because I had to watch it several times before I got the whole thing (Cain and Abel stuff was weird at first but then why not - biblical references you know).
 
Then again where does this "new level" I mentioned above take us to? Hope they didn't loose themselves when they made the story (i.e. went too far or over-the-top) because I demand same high quality throughout the whole game.
 
Multiplayer - hell yeah, singleplayer - shaping up!

To those saying the graphics are not that much better ... you should really go back and play MW1.  Looks way better to me  ;)

I don't actually think he sounds Russian at all.

" The suggestion in this trailer of a modern US "civil war" is awesome as hell. Finally we might be able to get out of those fucking endless "middle eastern village where everything is dust-brown" holes. Plus, chaos is more threatening when it's on your turf than random "brown-istan". "

Don't know what the fuck is really going on in this thread, but that trailer is awesome!!!

i would play this if actiblizz could only find a way to get their employees motivated monetarily. if they can't find other ways to get their employees motivated then i won't play it. also, if they could get their employees to work for less money and charge more for their games then i would be stoked too.

OMG!!!.....November hurry up and come already 

They better have a good explanation for having the US capitol under attack. Seriously an invasion of the US capitol is an almost impossible feat for any world super power period, especially with the largest naval garrison in the world only a few hours away in Norfolk.

Russia is slowly going back to an authoritative government.

Awesome trailer!

" Seriously? Does everyone have to try their hardest to make a Fallout connection with every game that's coming out in the near future? "

Would everybody give the whole D.C. thing a break, and what that guy says in the trailer about the United States fighting all over the world is correct. This is due to the fact that the Unites States is considered the watchdogs of the world, and we go to other countries to help establish a sense of democracy so that crazy dictators or whomever can't shit on the people who live there. Does it work all of the time? No.  Why because the U.N. is too full of babies that won't do anything. I am not saying other countries have not helped us e.g. United Kingdom, Australia, and Spain, and others not including France.  This is just the facts, and in no way have any disregard for any countries and or people.

" why is the xbox logo at the end?  anyway this trailer seems a bit much. "

Because either A) IW knows that their biggest audience is on the 360 and could get some extra money by putting the logo there or B) Microsoft just straight up payed them. "

ill go with A) considering that the first MW sold like 3 million more on the 360 "

Doubt it.  That makes absolutely zero business sense, particularly given we're talking about a game published from the coffers of bobby kotick.  My point is; while there is no question that the 360 version will outsell the PS3 (probably by a difference proportional to the user base discrepancy, like last time) - there is no chance in hell Activision or IW would intentionally and so blatantly alienate an immense portion of their own user base without it being a simple business decision.  Microsoft offsets ($$) any potential loss of PS3 sales while the extra 360 promotion potentially creates extra revenue from increased sales on that console etc. Need I even mention microsoft's history will this kind of thing. Dont get me wrong, they can pay for what they want, thats capatilism. But theres no question they did.  Anyway, Im generally sick of all this shit. The games multiplatform - Ive never even played a COD game on anything except a PS or PC.   This kind of disingenuous campaigning is something I could live without. Games gonna rock though. "   

  "   Microsoft offsets ($$) any potential loss of PS3 sales"  why would the ps3 lose sales because of this? Batman had exclusive joker content and sold similar amount on the 360 (as per gametrailers podcast).    ""disingenuous"?lost me there, the 360 has map packs that are exclusive for a while.  if the difference in sales was something close or something insignificant id agree with you.  But when we are talking about over 3 million difference for MW and 2 mill difference for world at war those are huge amounts.  MOre the killzone 2 and Little big planet combined.  so ya the 360 version and userbase should be recognized and rewarded. 

 most importantly you are correct the game will be great and thats what matters.

The Cain and Abel stuff is pretty pretentious for a dumb shoot-em-up

" Looks like MS must giving out BJ's, and good ones, to the IW crew... a 360 logo... it a cross platform game. *sigh*   ok ok... I know I am being an ass... but still :-/ On a lighter note... awesome trailer. I can't want to get my hands on this game. "

I am getting more and more excited about this game as each day passes.  Once I get my check in on Friday, I am pretty ordering this bad boy.

Taliban isn't a terrorist group, al Qaeda is.  And jihad means "Muslim holy war against unbelievers." "

1) The Taliban is a relegiously led political organsiation. 2) A Jihad can be interpreted in many ways, formostly it is an inner struggle against temptation from things perceieved as lessening to your soul (which are not allowed in Islam). It can also be interpreted as expanding the Muslim faith, through peaceful means; and finally also it can be described as a holy war to achieve the same purpose. 90% of Muslims will consider a Jihad to be primarily the fight against inner temptation and struggle with yourself.

This paranoid attitude is what we Europeans came to expect from the US of A after 9/11. First you made up a thread from Iraq to start a second war to satisfy your obvious need for revenge and hunt down Saddam Hussein (weapons of mass destruction my ass - not a single one was ever found), today the USA are more or less openly thinking about attacking Iran (Why? Because they can, I suppose). And now Russia again, seriously? Give me a break. "

" It got delayed two weeks today - for the PC. It's also 60 euro/dollars on PC as well.   Basically, Activision is telling you to pirate the game. That's what I'll do anyway, til they lower the price to 40-50 which is a reasonable price. I'm sorry, but I just don't see why MW2 is worth 20 euro more then any other game, and Activisions bullshit tactics (they tried to sell Prototype for 60 on PC as well) are just pissing me off and turning me off a purchase. "

Yay! An attack on the U.S.A!

" The whole 11.10.09 date is nicely marketable in America, but it isn't nearly as catchy in, oh say, the rest of the world.  Anywhere they use the more sensible day/month/year, it doesn't make sense, and anywhere they use the international standard of year/month/day, again it makes no sense.  But then, this is marketing we're talking about, we can't expect them to be aware after all.

FPTE or GTFO! lolol
 
+ now there's this big dilemma of console or PC, since they're the same price this time...

DUDER!

+1 to FireBurger

This is a really good trailer.  I wasn't honestly that interested in this game - but now I may be coming around a little.

Wow, are people really flipping shit over D.C getting fucked up?
 
Let me guess, you don't give a shit when they show stuff blowing up in Rio de Janeiro, Russia, or "Iraq," but God forbid there be an attack on the U.S. Get over it. It's not anti-American or any bullshit like that, it's simply a good story and much more interesting than yet another middle eastern village to blow to hell.
 
Sorry for all the cursing, but some people are so stupid.

I said I was 80 years old!  I'm a filthy liar!

The Story of Cain & Abel is far from exclusive to the Bible. The Torah and the Qu'ran have it, too, though the Qu'ran has a bit of a different ending. (God creates laws against murder rather than punish Cain for something that was not banned beforehand)

Sounded like Edward James Olmos telling the story of Kane and Able.

This is the same thing that Massive did with word in conflict, and i must say that im glad they did. I think that like in WIC, its only going to help the story get better. I usually never play the single player portion of any game twice, but for some reason i happily play cod4 twice, normal and vet. to me, that says a lot about that game's story (yes, i did beat the epilogue in vet...fuck the intel..lol). The only other game that i have more then once was mass effect.
