MW1 was everything that SHOULD be celebrated in games. 
 
It wasn't the most graphically powerful, nor the ultimate best story telling, nor the ultimate best online or anything. 
 
It was just a super focused, super tight, well presented game.

I love this trailer, it does something for me. Particularly the OMFG factor of DC being bombed to shit.

Did anyone else get the message?  The Russian guy talking is basically saying America has fought and killed people all over the world, and they don't care because the death and destruction does not happen in their own country.  I think Modern Warfare 2 could potentially be an anti-war message to all Americans, at least, thats what this trailer is telling me.

I love trailers that put out minimal gameplay. All about the hype, the sell, and little about what the consumer will actually get to do. Granted, it will probably be an enjoyable game and people will be in comas fiddling with it, and it does what an ad is suppose to do: grab the attention of the average consumer and make them curious enough about the product to get it or influence others to get it.  
 
So yeah. Dramatic explosions are awesome.

Rarely can I suspend my disbelief enough for a dramatic video game trailer to have any impact in terms of its story... because I can never ignore the fact I am looking at something computer generated.  This trailer, with its biblical reference and the serious-toned low-key talking guy coupled with the dramatic piano thumping in the background couldn't get me to either.  But the game itself does look pretty damn awesome :D  Little over a month away...

Looks like all of Jack Bauer's tireless efforts over the years have been in vain.

 I dunno... I think I've seen the W. Monument post-nuke a few times too many lately. Especially when it looks EXACTLY the same every time 
 
And the whole reason the first one was so good story-wise was because it wasn't overblown, it  was the most realistic save-the-world situation I've ever seen, game or movie. This looks like what  Pirates of the Caribbean 2 was to the first one.

The biggest commercial release this year looks like the game of the year as well.  When does that happen in the movie industry?

How will the writers explain the invasion on the capital? Eh, looks good though, now MW2 HAS to be played.
