Finally, Infinity Ward has revealed the full trailer for Modern Warfare 2, the follow-up to the hugely successful and critically acclaimed Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare. The two previous trailers have teased us with bits of footage but now we can finally see the game in its full glory. Anyway to watch the trailer and see what we thought of it please click keep reading.

  • Did you enjoy it?! Hmm, of course you did! So here is what I deduced after watching that amazing trailer.

    • The game is set after the events of the original and will give us gamers the task of taking down Makarov who is a former associate of Zakhaev, the “bad guy” from the first game.
    • Gameplay will take place in multiple locations around the world. Snowy Russia, deserts of Afghanistan and the huge city that is Rio de Janeiro.
    • Civilians are seen running around in the trailer, possible  “epic” escort or rescue hostage missions.
    • Vehicle based missions to possibly be introduced. Driving and shooting while in a snowmobile seems certain. Possible for a mission to be based in a helicopter too? Hmm, I hope so.
    • Characters are seen swimming; there could be a mission which requires infiltration via water.
    • New knife based melee kills.
    • Might be a long shot but there is a glimpse of someone being tortured in trailer; maybe that is a new addition too.
    • It also looks like the final mission could involve getting into Makarov’s huge castle base and taking him out. The trailer certainly suggests this as that set-piece battle just looks to amazing not be the final act of the game.
    • Lastly even though it seems like Infinity Ward are using the same graphics engine from the original, this game just looks so much more cinematic. That can only be a good thing right?!
  • Modern Warfare 2 is due to be released November 10th 2009 but I am quite sure we will see more of it before that. Awesome!
