Modern Warfare 2 "Infamy" trailer gets religious and heavy

The first murder, a brother's betrayal -- speculations ahoy!

Modern Warfare 2

"The world has been your battlefield everywhere you go. The blood of brothers and sons screams out against you. Perhaps you can not yet hear it, because the soil is not your own; but you will. You will..."

The latest Modern Warfare 2 trailer gets a little heavy with the dirge theme and voice-overs referencing the first murder.  Plenty of in-game footage, showcasing the terror and destruction brought by war.  Really though, I'm sure most of you are only here for the headshots. 

Can't ignore the beautifully scripted trailer, and the somber retelling of Cain's sin against his brother; his brutality and betrayal prevails today.  CoD fans are already speculating what the significance of the Cain and Abel reference might be, suggesting there may be a Civil War theme.  And what did Makarov mean when he said, "... the soil is not your own?"  Will there be a foreign invasion or something from within?

Watch the trailer and let rumors fly.

    Real war is wrong. Nothing inaccurate in that message.

    Seeing a nation's capitol in flames is always pretty moving, in a symbolic sort of way.

    I think the part with the Russian flag and the dead civilians are from the first trailer. You hear men speaking Russian and getting off the elevator and opening fire. So thats probably the airport. As for DC being in ruins this can be amazing or just average. Hopefully that isn't one of the special ops co-op levels. If the ruins of DC are in the campaign then this could be epic on both the story and multi-player.

    the real war is wrong indeed , middle east is just a target for corrupted governments , the next is russia and china, beware of the eu and nau, in MW2 has a fictional story , to avoid criticism , but I don't want to see propaganda and hatred towards middle east. there is no terrorist , the terrorist will be you , you cause you will hate and fight against the new world order , they will treat you as terrorists , and todays terrorists are innocent brave and normal living people who oppose the corrupted governments, those with bombs are set-up,lied,used as a bait and decivation/distraction. Story fictional or real or whatever > What is the messeage in MW2 ; the real war is not what you see on the TV.

    I'd be surprised if the war was against the Russians. Seems a bit too contentious to me. If it is against Russians, perhaps they'll go with a ex-Soviet-taken-over-by-a-fascist angle with it.

    It be very cool if they did a fictional battle between NORAD and Russia over the Ukraine, but that'd be too controversial for sure. It'll probably be something like a military coup in a Russian province or something. Or Russian terrorists....

    The story is too much all about different terrorists , get a corporation that's involved, a 1st world corrupted private corporation and fight against it.

    You fight against terrorists , but you don't see what's their reason for what they do? , you just have this inner belief that terrorist is something bad , I can be a "terrorist" right away, if I oppose the government , democracy is multi-dictatorship.

    You're rather anti-establishment, annihilate. We could use more of you in the comments.
    Your nick and comments remind me of this song.

    If you guys did not play the first Call of Duty Modern Warfare game, you'd know that the Ultranationalist Russians are seeking revenge for what the S.A.S and the United States Marine Force did in the first game. They killed the guy who is saying the speech in the trailer's brother I think, and they are taking revenge on America's soil. Its the ultranationalist Russia and some terrorist group in some fake Middle Eastern Country.

    I think you guys are looking to deep into this. Its a video game, and its a Call of Duty Video game. Its about shooting stuff, not deep politics. I they went with the most standard run-of-the-mill bad guys: Commie Reds and Terrorist. Its just like Red Dawn, Rambo, Die Hard or GI Joe ~ you just go with the cheesie goodness!
