Infinity Ward has revealed the latest trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and as expected, it's absolutely epic.

But there's something in this trailer -- a pretty big reveal -- that you might not have been expecting. We're not going to tell you what it is. Just watch the trailer, then discuss this in our comments. And no, we're not talking about the fact that it ends with the Xbox 360 logo; the game is still multiplatform, as far as we know. That's a good thing, because we wouldn't want anyone to miss out.

Go forth. Watch this thing; it's what you've been waiting for.

Getting kinda tired of this deceptive marketing from Microsoft. Activision has every right to take their money. Its still Bullshit.....

Weak. I thought this was going to be some more on the multiplayer.

Dear Dtoid: Never ever pull this shit again. You are a news site and you deliver news. Especially when it comes to videos that take fifteen minutes to load because of server overload.

SPOILER ALERT: WASHINGTON DC IS A WAR ZONE NOW.

It's sad that I had to go to Joystiq to watch this, and they revealed the twist in the video header :( DToids video player just wouldn't play =/

Ah well, I'm still hoping for a big twist at the end of the game where it is revealed that Captain Price now heads an undercover terrorist unit, and was actually the one behind the events of CoD4 and Modern Warfare 2. You heard it here first =D

@DJP3DRO

I had no such problem. And feel free to calm down. You're killing our collective buzz. The new trailer was anticipated to have a big reveal. It did. It's certainly news to me.

As for me, consider my interest piqued. I'm interested to see if the campaign is as good as its predecessor's.

I'm so looking forward to the single-player. I'm really curious about that. The multi-player is going to be good, we all know that. Well, except for Dangsterr who just wants some attention.

That was a fucking awesome trailer... I'm really hyped for the single player campaign. We all know multiplayer's great in MW, but if they can give me something solid in the single player like the first one, I'm going to be a very happy bunny.

Good grief, that is one heck of a reveal. I wasn't ever going to buy this game simply because I feasted on COD far too much over the years, but thanks to that damn epic reveal, I'll buy this MUCH later down the line.The game looks like it has beaten the Bafta winning narrative of it's predecessor (COD4)

Seriously, I really want to play that scenario. Consider the internet to be ablaze with this news.

@ MrSadistic

I just lost my bonar for cod.
What is this fall-out?
I liked how cod 4's story was (semi) realistic.
But this really? I'm still excited just not nearly as much.

I am disappoint

I personally would like to commend you Dtoid for not spoiling it. Trailers spoil enough things nowadays, I don't need people spoiling the trailers too.

Why hasn't anybody pointed out how smooth this trailer looks? I don't know if they're showing off on a PC or are running some black magic but the frame rate is very very smooth. Another thing to note, the polygon count on some of the models look really low and the textures look kinda muddy. Just wanted to point that out.

You're such an obvious troll. GTFO, seriously. And if you really did enjoy WaW more, then GTFO, cause youre a dirty liar. And a Sinner. And a Liar.

That said, this game looks gorgeous. 4 Was amazing, and IW is looking to make this one even more shocking and amazing then anything was in 4.

The graphics, the game play that has been revealed all seem to be leading to another stellar game. I can't wait to geek out over this one again when I pick it up!

I like CoD's story twists, like the american soldier dieing and the end where the guy slides the gun to you to kill that last enemy... oh and the guy you chase down the streets only to have him shoot himself in the head. I was shocked as hell to see that happen :P I don't know if this should have been kept secret or if it was the right thing to show for publicity, but they better have some equal moments in this game.

Really enjoyed the last campaign. Did it in one sitting, like it was a movie: my brother was watching, even made up some popcorn.

Looks like this campaign's gonna match it and more.

Bought the Oddworld pack on Steam, but when I try to run a game, it crashes. bawwww.

Left 4 Dead too, I have not been much into it for some reason but its still fun.

I cleared Phoenix Wright on Monday morning, and now I am making my way further through Contact. this game is so damn interesting, i will try making a reveiw when I finish.

Oh yeah, also received Mirror's Edge from the mail several days ago. This game is pretty addictive, it gets a bit frustrating but i enjoy progressing, it feels like being in an action film.

I came. The trailer was awesome and MW2 keeps living up to my expectations so far.

And to those idiots boycotting/bitching that you should buy used, remember this: INFINITY WARD IS NOT ACTIVISION

@ Valentin Seleznyov
I'm also allowed to have an opinion that your opinion's silly. COD5 was ok. But it's so recycled. One reviewer said it was more of a WWII greatest hits collection than fresh and new content(agreed). I'm not saying the game didn't have it's moments (most of the Russian story was good.) The online was just COD4 with a WWII skin and labyrinthine maps. Nazi zombies, however, was the shit.

Unimportant though. Everyone has their preferences.

Anyway... I'm very much hoping that the Obama punching a zombie pic is realized in this game. This is the only chance we'll ever get, I believe... even though the zombies mode was probably canned.

Though the premise looks somewhat interesting, I think I'm going to hold out for a Steam weekend deal. The SP on CoD games always disappoints me with its linearity, AI nade spam, and near infinite enemy respawns.

This is gonna be my first CoD game, so I honestly don't see much epic-ness going on in the trailer. :/

Still buying it though... I think.

@Valentin Seleznyov: I encourage you to write a c-blog on how WaW is better than MW. I'd like to see your opinions on that, because as much as I played both games, I couldn't imagine it being that way. Maybe I missed something integral to WaW that made it a better game.

I'm going to purchase Modern Warfare 2. It might be used, it might be brand new. Hell, I might even be pressured to buy the goggles package (although, I'd be hard-pressed to find a logical reason to do that, other than for novelty). Never the less, this trailer strengthened my hopes for this game to being quite good. Possibly better than the first.

buying this game used supports EVIL GAMESTOP or EVIL AMAZON

on the topic of EVIL ACTIVISION...
i myself avoid WalMart as much as possible, and understand the idea of the big evil corporation boycott.
but c'mon. this is videogames. it is not like Infinity Ward is working minimum wage no overtime pay and no benefits. Is not like they enslave workers to mine out a rare videogame, or have little kids falling asleep at their dev-tool kits.

if there is really cause to boycott a videogame production company,than you may as well be boycotting SOny, Microsoft, Nintendo, ATI... and so on.
