Sports fans get first glimpse at Modern Warfare 2 trailer
If you were watching a sports program called "the NBA Eastern Conference finals game" over the holiday weekend, you might have seen the above two-minute commercial for the next Call of Duty, which isn't even a Call of Duty anymore, but is instead a Modern Warfare, as per the rebranding. The sequel to Call of Duty 4 is obviously drawing from some of that game's events and characters. It's currently in development at Infinity Ward and will either be released on November 10 or October 11. I get confused by the whole 11-10-09 release date and wonder if they're arranging it in a European manner just to line up the numbers that way. (My intern has just handed me a note telling me that it's November 10th.)
The action-packed trailer is all good and well, Activision, but you had me at "Infinity Ward".

The music at the beginning is on the Transformers 2 trailer. Is that an actual song or like a soundtrack... track?

Another tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Tom,
The release is 11-10-09. It's given at the end of the linked video.

Ah, good, so it's October 11th after all. I'll be sure to mark that on my calendar. Cheers, Weebork!

So, I may be the only reader of this blog who can't answer the question himself...was the original so...ludicrous in its choreography?

No, Marty, no it wasn't. IW has gotten progressively more ridiculous. I wonder if there will be a rap at the end of this game too?
