The 9th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards ended with a bang -- a bang that could only be brought by a teaser for a hype-inducing game of Modern Warfare 2's level. Infinity Ward put the debut video for the first-person shooter on full display, and you better believe we've got it embedded post-jump.

Besides a green-tinted montage of various locales accompanied by cries of agony and constant gunfire, and of course Modern Warfare 2's release date (November 10 of this year), it's not a whole lot for more casual fans to go on.

But, you know what? It's quite frankly better than nothing at all. A solid release date will surely get hardcore Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare players excited. Now, I've got to ask, when's the beta coming, guys?

One of the worst trailers...q

TheCleaningGuy

I can't believe it! A CoD 4 sequel? I expected an Okami sequel before CoD 6!

smalltino

It is crazy!

I like how it asks for standard or HD

Breedlove

Eh. They could have run the ESRB warning and "CoD:MW2 11-10-09" in Helvetica font against black and I would still buy it.

de BLOO

I came

smalltino

it is really bad.

Smalltino fails at HTML.

And eh, another crappy FPS, most likely the SP will be full of enemy closets and the multiplayer will stop being supported within a month of the game's release(just like like the original).

I'm sure it will sell a billion copies though.

Tactix

Not particularly excited.....at least I got Zelda news today! <3

Chronic Logic

what a boring trailer...

ArcticFox

Holy shit guys, it's a teaser. And a really well done one at that.

Myself, Im excited. Did the British voice sound like Price to anyone else? The endgame was kind of unclear there. Also, YES YES YES, I can not wait for this game. One of the most quality FPS experiences I've ever played, with a twist just short of BioShock's. Fuck yeah, IW, I cant wait to get rid of WaW and get back into the seat of some awesomely balanced perk based Multiplayer. SOLD

smalltino

sorry, I just try it.

I thought the trailer was phenomenal. It's a great teaser and a really interesting visual concept that has never been pulled off this well. Kudos.

Sam Spectre

Am I the only one who thought this trailer was pretty cool? Had my headphones on and was not expecting anything like that. It's like they took you through a scene from the game without actually showing you what was going on. I've never seen anyone else do something like that.

NihonTiger90

It's just a teaser, come on guys. Don't be so damn disappointed.

Can't wait to see what IW comes up with this time around. :)

MrSadistic

I don't think there has ever been an awesome announcement trailer both movie and game wise.

Timdabrat

Well I have something to do this novemeber.

Magoo

What a smart way to put a teaser out. It was entertaining and they didn't have to use any in-game assets. I'm very much looking forward to this.

Xhumation

Looks interesting.

How can you top the nuke from COD4?

Samit Sarkar

What Sheir and Sam Spectre said.

Sheir

Also, apparently there's more to this trailer... If you go to the website there is an "analyze" button, and they're asking people on Twitter to rank their findings form the trailer.

Loogibot

I don't think I've ever gotten so excited after seeing so little. Well, technically there was a lot going on, but the trailer left a lot to the imagination, which speaks a lot for just a teaser. I'm definitely looking forward to this.

Sheir

By the way, when they first get off the elevator, if you zoom in above the "Security" sign on the right youy'll see what looks like perk symbols. It looks like Deep Impact, a foot with a wing on it, and two other symbols.

StickFlick

Sounds to me that alot of people here cannot differentiate between "Teaser" and "Trailer"

both different things entirely.

de BLOO

It looked like a bunch of guys in suits in an elevator before they decided to open fire on people....

this game might touch on Mercs and hitman. Thats pretty modern warfare amirite?

BlackFreefall

@ptcoakley - Is a teaser not a full blown "blow the socks off your feet" trailer.

Dexter345

I liked it, I don't know what you guys' problem is with it.

brainderailment

Hey IW, Beta test it on the ps3 or it wont fucking work. I had to wait 2 months after release to play a full online match but not after searching for a half an hour.

TehBuLL

that was pretty badass imho.

Fronz

Yeah, I really liked it as well. It's just a teaser video to try and raise attention and get people talking. It planted plenty of seeds and was refreshingly unique feeling -- not like every other teaser video with .5 second clips stapled together. And like lots of others have pointed out, they hid a lot of things for you to look for and analyze further online. Good job, Infinity Ward!

there goes another 500hrs of my life :(

Autumn

Wow. In what way did that 'tease' me? A green line that moves up and down. FANTASTIC!
P.S. Go check out the Gametrailers comments for epic hyperbole action. Apparently this is GOTY already! Because it has green lines. AWESOME!

Takeshi

It's called a teaser. Not a feature film. It does exactly what it should. Tease you. I like it and will buy it day one.

Zombutler

Is this just called Modern Warfare 2? No COD? Because I like that if it's true.

The Gief

so is that that 11th of october or the 10th of november? uk / us difference

Pyroph

OOH!!! Oh wait, it's just Call of Duty.

Black Nexus

I'm getting this ( well who isn't) another great game for ps3 FNF's.

pascuz46

Looks great. I'm definitely getting this and its nice to see a release date :D

Overcow

I'm calling it out right now, biological weapons are going to turn people to zombies.

MondaySan

Rio De Janeiro as a setting? Looks like 'Cristo Redentor' at 1:24:04

CRAZYAPE69

There beter be at least one new mode as well as bio-weapon zombieson a plane. Super CoD Kart would be imense, think about it, driving a mini tank, humvee, apache with an oversized terorist head... priceless lol

Cacophony

This was about as exciting as The Dark Knights explodey bat symbol teaser.

At least until the very end. Now I kind of do want to know what was going on. So, mission accomplished. I'm sorta teased.

mix

How about a FUCKING PRICE DROP ON COD4??

I want to buy it (again) on ps3 but I am NOT paying $59.99 for an old ass game.

T for Tom

Unfortunatly the MP will still take very little talent kudos to hipfire spray-n-pray brats and juggernaught. Shit, I will still try the beta. Damn casual fucktards.

Tehmtnlion

Well, I never thought a moving green line would give me an erection....well....damn man...

adultswim810

that was terrible

Ffordesoon

I watched it twice. It was badass.

It had a definite story, it was a new and different way to showcase that story, it bears repeat viewings so you can pore over all the nuances, and the sound was really good. I have no idea why anyone wouldn't like that. I'd much rather see this than another boring "military game" trailer. Not that I don't WANT to see the game, but this gets me way more excited than the trailer they used last time.

Kalmah

Does this mean we get to play with the baddies in their own perspective?
