New Modern Warfare 2 Trailer is Live

Infinity Ward released their new Modern Warfare 2 trailer called "Infamy".
It reveals quite a lot about the single player story, including a battle to reclaim Washington D.C. after an apocalypse. This surely has to ring a bell for people who played Fallout 3!


Quote by narrator"Cain was the first man ever to strike down another. And when the Lord came in and said 'What have you done?', Cain could not hide his crime. For the voice of his brother's blood cried out from the very ground."

"The world has been your battlefield, everywhere you go. The blood of brothers and sons screams out against you. Perhaps you cannot yet hear it, because the soil is not your own. But you will. You will."
Music by: Hans Zimmer

then use the filters?
Parent
If you watch closely, you can see some glitches & mistakes from the editors. The guy crawling towards you in the first moments first has no NVG and his binocs on his helmet, while a bit later he has NVG and his binocs on his eyes...

Also, the graphics don't look very good compared to how they will probably look on PC. That's because this was the xbox version, so limited hardware.
Regarding graphics, IW has implemented a new technology named "texture streaming" that allows them to add a lot more detail to the textures.
See the comparison picture below:
