Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

I believe they were Activision's quotes when they were questions by Joystiq(?) as to whether the footage was real or not.

Yeah, it's from Activision. http://www.mw2blog.com/activision-re...paign-footage/

Just saw the video...

I'm not skipping the scene, though. If it puts me in the shoes of the people I'm fighting against in the game to see what it is and why they do such things, I'm willing to take it.

Are you supposed to feel good about killing any of them? Absolutely not, and I think that's what IW is looking for.

Either all that, or simple media hype. Maybe both.

[Vector]

I still don't feel good about this video or this piece of gameplay by any stretch, but I think I understand what IW is trying to do here. Still...has there ever been a game where you played as a terrorist killing innocents? I won't skip the 'disturbing' chapters because I think I can handle them, and I want to play the game in its entirety, but it's still pretty jarring stuff.

I also still find it hard to believe that the anti-gaming media as a whole haven't picked up on this on a wider scale yet.

Brilliant. "ThePS3Community" posting videos from a leaked 360 game.

Activision already confirmed the third person made anyway.

[Vector]

It'll be interesting to see how the mode plays. The quality is still pretty bad, but now you can see crosshairs on the screen...almost Uncharted- or Gears-like. I'm gonna be playing the regular gametypes most often, obviously, but if I'm just messing around with friends, the third-person view might be fun.

Modern Warfare 2 geared to be the 'highest-selling game of all-time.'

I'm excited for this game, very much so, like i've enjoyed the last two Call Of Duty games.

But fkc me, just been reading Modern Warfare 247 and am amazed at some of the stuff piled into this. I'm concerned that party chat has been disabled for most modes, but co-op stuff like Spec Ops, 16 multiplayer maps at launch, and death streaks really have me pumped.

Less than a week away, bring it!

Such a terrible, terrible idea.

Modern Warfare 2 is GameStop's most pre-ordered game ever
