Don't Watch this Modern Warfare 2 Trailer
Seriously, You'll Regret it
by Coop

So here's the deal: Activision has put together an awesome trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It uses the Eminem song "Till I Collapse" better than Eminem does, and features some of the most exhilarating footage released for the game so far. If anyone was unsure of a purchase, this trailer might push them over the edge. For the rest of us... well... you'd be better served clicking off this page right now, since the trailer is chock full of spoilers. Go read a review, or watch another video. Hell, watch another Modern Warfare video, because you really don't need to see this.
It has what appears to be real spoilers. Big spoilers. "WTF INFINITY WARD!?!?!?!" spoilers. I've never watched a trailer and felt as though I had key moments ruined but, yeah, it has some shit you don't want to see you. After the video (which is, in case you haven't figured it out, below), I'll talk a little about it, then drink myself into a stupor so I forget what I've seen.
In other words, in case you are thinking of skipping the text and ignoring all of the wonderful words I wrote, spoilers below. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Reminder: spoilers and such to follow.
Apparently the earlier footage of America under attack is a bigger part of the game than we though. It looks like the unnamed-enemy-country-that-so-isn't-Iran is rolling around the suburbs, blowing the American Dream into teeny, tiny little chunks.
And that isn't the biggest spoiler. There's apparently a level that takes place in outer space. Yeah. Outer space. Like, the one a few thousand miles up, outside the atmosphere. Outer space like where the moon lives. What the hell is Modern Warfare doing out there? I have absolutely no idea, but I really wish I didn't watch the video, since I'm sure it's a pretty awesome thing to see when it happens. Goodbye, shock value, let's hope they know what they're doing with this asinine ad campaign. Maybe it's all a series of dream sequences? No? Crazy simulations? Maybe? Inside of a snow globe? Hopefully?

COOP! THERE WERE SO MANY SPOILERS UP IN THERE WHY DIDN'T YOU WARN ME?!??!??!?
Nicholas Cage was in that for a split second....I swear.
That was the biggest spoiler for me.
I hate you Coop.
I watched it and melted off my face into a bloody mess. Also, fire came out of my eyes.
Yeah, caught this last night during the World Series. Pretty pissed that they tipped such a big hand.
