New Modern Warfare 2 trailer

Check out this new two-minute trailer packed action, knife-work and top Modern Warfare action.

Atomic readers recently voted Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare the best Action Game of all time. While it's a big call, it's really not a surprising one - it's a top piece of work.

And Modern Warfare 2, from the looks of this new 'reveal' trailer, is set to signigicantly up the ante on first person combat.

We're at last getting to see a lot more of the single player plot of the new game, due out later this year. It's hard to tell if it's going to feature multiple characters, but it does look as though some old friends are back (and in some trouble, too!). The game takes players from Eastern Europe to what looks like Africa or maybe South America; the battlefields look better than ever, and in some cases, are packed with panicking civilians. But see for yourself:

Looks fracking awesome to us. November cannot come soon enough!

You know, this one's pretty interesting. If you have a look at Google Insight, more people search for Modern Combat than modern warfare - so if you want to get the traffic... you need to be incorrect!

I wonder why so many people are calling it "Combat" though. Was there a cock-up somewhere on a press-release...or it's just evolved itself a new name?

GOTY. It's an early call, but a sure fire winner. It looks exciting, interesting, and just plain awesome. Finally a game I can play which is not COD4. ;)

It's easy to get confused with COD4: Modern Warfare and BF2: Modern Combat.

It's the tears of the wounded ear drums. She already dreads the release of MW2. But with new Dolby 5.1 surround console headsets, she wont have to hear it (apart from the chatter). Bring on Nov 10.

"It's easy to get confused with COD4: Modern Warfare and BF2: Modern Combat."

You know, I'd not even made that connection.

Still, it's better than the "MW2" abbreviation, which stirs in me a longing for "Mech Warrior 2".

HURRY UP WITH "LIVING LEGENDS", YOU BASTARDS!!

Yeah, it's bloody annoying that we have to wait for local PRs to get this stuff out to us :(

Cant you guys just troll the net for this stuff? Or is it a requirment to wait for the "official" release?

If we want to upload the vid properly and watermark it, we have to wait. Otherwise we'd be showing you vids with the 'marks of other sites. Or low-res YouTubes.

Revert: Oh yeah for sure cause it's not like we don't already have Counter-Strike that it can't speak for itself and it's not like game developers should come up with good original ideas and implement them into next gen games, fuck no, let's just keep it as it was boring old plain ass fucking vanilla CS REPACKAGED! That's a great idea!

...

Get the fuck out.
