Eminem drops rhymes over new Modern Warfare 2 trailer photo

#Activision #Call of Duty #Infinity Ward #PC #PS3 #top stories #wii #Xbox 360

With Infinity Ward dropping Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 in stores next week, we're winding down the marketing hype machine, presumably wrapping things up with this final "launch" trailer that premiered this evening on Spike TV and Comedy Central.

As expected, there's a lot going on here -- guns firing, things exploding, dudes yelling at each other. Unexpected is the trailer's soundtrack, Eminem's "Till I Collapse." Does it work? I don't know, I'll let you be the judge.

I'll also ask you to note that around 56 seconds into the trailer, something is happening... in space. Enjoy the trailer after the jump. (Warning: It could be considered spoilerific.)

The same MW2 story back-to-back? That's a first.

I guess this one has a better version of the ad.

Oh, and it totally works. Don't wanna admit it but it does.

MaximusPaynicus

It's almost as if Infinity Ward, bored with all the positive press they've been getting, has intentionally been going out of their way to try and turn people off from the game.

Well it ain't gonna work! You hear me?!

Xzyliac

Nick this is what you should be posting.

TheDreadHawk

I think it works pretty great. The only part that doesn't fit is "etc. etc... I don't think that fact that I'm Slim matters etc. etc..." but the chorus has always had a warrior sound to it imo.

Gestault

Guess why I'm no longer watching video content on Destructoid? Because there are ads leading into, during, and leading out of every video. This is intrusive, annoying stuff.

That's a good trailer. I like this site. I don't like the delivery method for its advertisements.

Mark Atkinson

great trailer, plays on the videos people make and set to music. perfect.

TheDustinThomas

I hate rap music, but I just saw the trailer while watching South Park, and I must admit I loved the trailer, mainly because of the music

grafkhun

I kind of got a Con Air sort of vibe from this trailer somehow... yeah, I'm weird and I don't know how that worked out.

Black Nexus

it works pretty well, and MW IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE, thats just awesome.

Shipley

Did they select Eminem because he also has a history of making disparaging remarks against homosexuals?

Xzyliac

@Shipley
Ironically the South Park episode gave the word "fag" a new meaning. You need to get hip.

Jizl Tizl

I think this game will truly be everything those quoted reviews are calling it.

Also, the music works totally. Whether you like Eminem or not, you have to admit that he is good at what he does.

John Johnson

Pfffff

This game takes place in space as well as all that other stuff? This game just keeps getting more and more absurd all the time.

hawtpokkitz

I want to shoot terrorists and/or civilians on a space station.

Also, South Park = x3

gore on the floor

I don't like Eminem at all, but somehow that song actually worked for the trailer.

And I can not wait until Tuesday.

theraccoonkid218

Damn, if only war movies were as intense as this

CelicaCrazed

This trailer made me want the game even more.

Aziel13

6 more days XD

benbw

Yeah, that trailer pretty made me want to stop boycotting MW2.

And then I looked down and saw the 9v9 PC cap. Fucking hell.

bigduo209

That space intro to the story is pretty fuckin cool, even though it's unplayable (except for the head-turning I think).

BTW Nate Dogg (the guy singing chorus) and the background music is what makes it work, not necessarily Eminem.

Squirrel Pope

Between fun ads and being able to kill civilians this may be the greatest game ever made! And yes, i am looking forward to kill stealing from all my terrorist buddies in the airport. :)

Carl Sagan

Wait, there's a space part?

This changes everything.

AgentMOO

TheJesusNinja26

Outer space?

NubPhiSh

cant wait till Monday at 11.59 :D

Guagloves

SPACE!!!!

shawn is boring

holy balls

pascuz46

Looks good. The beat goes great, and so does the chorus. However I don't know if I like eminem's versus, I dont think they fit. Oh well. Good trailer.

Drack48

holy hell this game looks unbearably intense

YEAH-YA

Eminem confirmed for MW2! I knew it!!!

AILDFan

Just...jeebus. TAKE MY MONEY NOW!

ace of knaves

Modern Warfare 2: It's full of stars.

Dexter345

I'd say that worked pretty well.

JQuantumH

With the space scene in mind, i think this is a scene that just gives us a view from an astronauts perspective on a terrorist attack to the space station. To put it another, way its like that president assasination scene in the first game where you dont control it, but the game will let you experience it.

oldskool

Just me, or does it look like the space section ends in the same "oh god horrendous explosion, this character is going to die and there's nothing i can do about it" bit that was in the last MW?

abydos

Nope, sorry. It was pretty lame once you start listening to what's he rapping about.The CoD4 rap was better.

Llamaspit

dope on a rope , so drop ya hope in the form of soap

Quisling

Wait, what? SPACE?!?!

<can we get a spoiler warning please?>

Themightylebeau2009

Wasnt buying this unitl just over 3 minutes ago. Now it looks like the most kick ass game of the year, or is that just because Ive been igniring it for so long? Next week too, sweet :-)

Shipley

@Xzyliac

A cartoon on basic cable does not have the power to change the definitions of hateful slurs. South Park is funny, but thats all it is.

nailerr

I think that for a start it all looks very impressive, yes, of course it does. But it also looks kind of pathetic. In space now, the ISS, really?

Does all this James Bond bullshit not destroy any sense of meaning the supposed Airport scene was supposed to instil? It's the first trailer I've seen since the first gameplay shown on the ice mountains, and to be honest, I no longer even care that the game is coming out.

I really must wonder if Activision marketing are just riding the IW money cow out on some sort of coke fuelled binge. Is this the sort of exposure IW wants? We'll only know when the game is out. I suppose.

nailerr

And just because I just woke up, please let me clarify by saying I do not disbelieve the quality of the product from the developer, just I feel greatly disappointed by all the OTT silliness given the previous title.

Static Jak

So can we have snow in space next?

Ans as much as I dislike most of rap, that worked very well. Or maybe it's just that MW2 makes everything seem better.

MCChampaignMillionaire

This game is a freakin juggernaut...

HELLFIRE 117

I hate this hype machine - I am so pumped for this game, but I can't help but worry about being let down after all of these trailers have me expecting the world and more...

You better damn well deliver Infinity Ward, or there will be HELL TO PAY!!!

Jon B

Looks like the spoilers I heard about the game are true after all. Awesome. Time to go and spoil my Facebook friends list. :)

TheTruth

I thought nothing could be worse this holiday season than the Dragon's Age trailer with 30 Seconds From Mars on it. Wow, what a horrible combination.

Well, good job Infinity. This WAS worse. Just like that other trailer, I feel like I can't hear the good trailer because some kid has the MTV cranked in the background.
But without sound, the trailer has me more psyched than ever for the game.

Uzzy

Hell, the MW2 trailers could have the Spice Girls in the background and they'd still work. The action looks that good!
