Infinity Ward released the official launch trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and boy, is it a doozie.
The gameplay footage we see in the trailer spotlights some previous footage that Infinity Ward released mashed in with some new footage, such as the satellite blowing up in space, into a single trailer with a very fitting soundtrack. Eminem’s “Till I Collapse” was chosen as the song to help amp up the hype level for Modern Warfare 2, and to be honest, I see no other song more fitting than that one. Not only does its beat bring out the emphasis how epic Modern Warfare 2 will be, but also Eminem’s lyrics are befitting of the game, specifically towards the end,
Cause I don’t really think that the fact that I’m Slim matters
A plaque of platinum status is whack if I’m not the baddest.
The original Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare set the gold standard for the FPS’ franchise, to which many other FPS games have adopted some of its ideas (XP, further customization of your character, etc.). With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the already ridiculously high bar Infinity Ward set itself with CoD4:MW is now being challenged once again.
Infinity Ward’s latest Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 trailer is… interesting. It does show some gameplay footage, but for the most part it’s a PSA to ‘Fight Against Grenade Spam’, or F.A.G.S. for short. Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels tells us random grenade throwing are, “for pussies”. It’s kind of strange he’s suddenly included in the PSA, but I believe it was to tie in with the World Series that’s currently underway.
With the amount of anticipation for Modern Warfare 2, I don’t think this was a smart move on the part of Infinity Ward. Yes, we all hate random grenades. If you think about it though, aren’t all grenades that kill you random to the one getting killed? You never expect them, but then when you hear it, you’re for the most part surprised.
What are your thoughts? You think this trailer was over-the-top, or do you think it’s just right for Modern Warfare 2?
We’re only a few weeks away for the epic release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Here are 8 fantastic screenshots that mostly Xbox 360 and PS3 owners will appreciate. As far as you PC gamers, you’re probably still upset over the non-dedicated server issue. Along with no PC mods, Infinity Ward has upset their PC community members and in turn they have filed several petitions explaining their frustrations. That won’t stop these lovely screenshots below from showing off some of the upcoming scenic backgrounds.
As much as I enjoy a good round of multiplayer mode, I am an old-school gamer at heart. With that said, I grew up playing games along with my brothers and majority of the games that came out in the 80s were co-op. There’s just something about working together with family and friends that give me a much more richer multiplayer experience than just shooting the hell out of them.
Infinity Ward realized how important co-op play is becoming and is introducing a new mode called ‘Spec-Ops’. Spec-Ops is a mode that is completely apart from the single-player campaign. You and your buddies work together to complete different objectives across multiple maps. The objectives vary from simply clearing out a map of enemies, to getting down a snowy mountain the quickest on your snowmobile. Players can even change individual difficulty settings, so no longer will men have to play on casual mode while their girlfriend holds the controller upside down screaming “HOW DO I MAKE THAT MAN DEAD?!”
The Conduit who? Looks like the FPS game is going to completely change for the Wii this holiday season as Activision announced this morning that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is making it’s way to the Nintendo Wii.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be a port of Infinity Ward’s 2007 Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. No other information was given besides the fact that it’s going to be released on the Nintendo Wii. As soon as we hear more regarding this title, we’ll be sure to let you all know. Now just keep your fingers crossed there will be multiplayer and it won’t require friend codes.
For those of you who love Call of Duty, you may shrug your shoulders at Modern Warfare 2’s price tag. But for those of us who just want to “play and prestige”, the inflated price of $149 for MW2 Prestige Edition better come with something special. Lo and behold, night goggles? That’s right, bundled within the Prestige Edition comes:
After a quick scare, Destructiod showed a mysterious survey sent from Activision insinuating a monthly fee would be a possibility for Modern warfare 2.
[UPDATE] – The trailer for ‘Modern Warfare 2′ was cut short on TNT in error. For sure, someone will be pink slipped for this.
For those who caught a glimpse of the ‘Modern Warfare 2′ trailer during the NBA Eastern Finals, I hope you were as entertained as I was. For those who missed it, PerezStart has you covered. Call of Duty 6 it is NOT, Modern Warfare 2 for those who didn’t know… now you know! And let me simply tell you, this trailer is “Amazing”!
Here it is, Modern Warfare 2 in-game footage. I should clarify the title of this post. I didn’t mean World of Warcraft. I meant the reaction of watching it. This trailer will simply leave you saying that plus more words only a Pirate would use. Since we’re no booty hunters or are missing teeth, wait… scratch the booty hunter part. Brought to us by Activision and developed by Infinity ward, MW2 will be released this November (sounded a bit commercially right?). Anyhow, sit tight folks, it’s coming…
The video below is the first official in-game footage for the sequel to Call of Duty 4 which will be title Modern Warfare 2 and NOT Call of Duty 6.
Yesterday we informed you about Modern Warfare 2’s teaser site, which revealed nothing but a green looking artery flashing across the screen. Well to cap up the GDC last night, Infinity Ward dropped us a new trailer with more clues on the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. One thing is clear, the official release date was announced as 11/10 which puts this game in line for another November release from Activision.
In the trailer, there doesn’t appear to show much footage but if you look closely you’ll see some clues. For one, I found when you click on the “analyze” button (located in the lower right) you’ll be able to spot all kinds of interesting things: like a submarine, helicopter and an oil-drilling platform.
