Remember that 15-second trailer from way back in March? The one that mentioned a May 24 "world premiere"? Well, it's May 24 and this was seen during the Eastern Conference finals between the Orlando Magic and Lebron James the Cleveland Cavaliers. I don't know which is hotter - this vid or East Finals series. One thing's for sure, the first full-fledged trailer for Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360, PS3, and PC) certainly stole some thunder from the match.


Infinity Ward sure knows how to pack some intensity - this vid is damn full of suprises: from sudden explosions to feigned surrenders. I actually forgot to breathe while I was watching. Seriously.

inb4 Modern Warfare doesn't require any skills and NarooN claims his über-awesomeness at games

It's just Modern Warfare, but the entire series after 3.

F*****g s**t that looks amazing. However, I can't help put think, from the preview thatwe've had of the game so far, it looks less...Call of Duty like. It looks more like you would be more or a mercenary than a soldier sort of thing. Probably will still be AMAZING though :| :D

Before this trailer i honestly thought this game was gonna be kinda wack and not bring anything new to the COD series. Boy was i wrong, now im really excited!

It *is* a CoD game. The devs themselves said it's a direct sequel to 4 (which is why it's called Modern Warfare 2).

Portal isn't called Half-Life 2: Portal, but still takes place in the same universe and directly references events and organizations from Half-Life.

it IS a call of duty game 402 confirmed it. They just dropped the title because it's to much of a mouth full, get your facts straight before shouting off on a comment feed...

When the Skibikes scene. Just before the next Ski jump starts you can see yourself shooting a pistol. And also half way through the scenes I saw "checkpoint reached" on the top right so its ingame graphics and it looks bloody great.

A game to die for.....Seriously :D

I jizzed in my pants. Not really.. well just a little bit.

Game is looking pretty hot, I'm excited, can't stay objective when I can get this excited over a little bit of eye candy footage. Where are the nerds at to analyze the trailer frame by frame? I wanna know if they spy any prototype guns in there...like the FN-SCAR or XM8 (nerd).


Man, anyone else miss NarooN?


   Re: Matt-N - 2009-05-25

The XM8 is the brown plastic gun that looks like the G36c isn't it? I've been watching far too many Future Weapons' on YouTube.

I've been saying for months that it would be cool to have the AA-12 automatic shotgun (YouTube that f**ker) make an appearance.

It would make the game heavily unbalanced, but as long as I'm the one swinging it around, I don't care XD

Now go and have a shower!!!

   Re: Orlyeh - 2009-05-25
 » XM8

the XM8 is a brown, plastic gun but it's been nicknamd the fishgun among some circles because it looks rather like the Christian fish symbol

as for a gun that looks like the G36c, my guess is that it could be the H+K UMP and possibly the FN SCAR.

Sev? about 55% of the way through the video... closing the garage door.

Sorry I'm late guys, had some important business to take care of.

Now, to this trailer. I'm *actually* impressed by the animation. They're utilizing the hell out of mo-cap. Graphics look about the same as 4 and 5 at this stage, don't expect them to change. Eyebrow raised at snowmobile segment.

It's trying too hard to be like some Bruce Willis x Rambo crossover rather than a bunch of soldiers doing their thing. I still expect the MP to be the same, but they'll definitely launch a MP beta. And I'll be there. I will.

is it just me or did this sound like the transformers two trailer at the start of this trailer

I am impressed by your comment, A+

As for the trailer, can't wait to play the hell out of this game! So long away, even though its not, i wish it were here now, that trailer was pretty impressive, graphics do look like Cod4, hopefully a little better by the time launch is upon us, i hope they push the envelope even farther and set the bar even higher with next installment! Can't wait, fingers crossed...
