If you've been straining your eyes and ears over the recently released "soundwave trailer" for Modern Warfare 2, you may want to give your weary senses a rest, and turn your attention to one of two comprehensive breakdowns of the trailer that recently appeared in our inbox. The first is a video analysis from YouTuber d4v1dm0rt, which is embedded after the break. The second, a compilation of zoomed in screengrabs from the trailer (broken down by Binge Gamer's Mike Murakami), can be viewed here.
They probably spotted a few items you might have missed out on -- such as the brief image depicting five perk icons, four of which appear to be entirely new. Maybe you didn't catch the flash frame of O Cristo Redentor, which could be hinting at Rio de Janeiro as a possible in-game locale. Perhaps your keen gaze overlooked the momentarily visible teddy bear, which could symbolize ... cuddlier enemies? Yeah, we're still not too sure about that one.
its interesting as well that at around 1:27, you can see an oil rig occupying the right of the screen, which then explodes. thats the only major thing i noticed that the youtube video missed there. So, exploding oil rig! Might be towards the end of the game. and it has to be "remember, no russian". although it would be good if they did a double take and at the end of the game it turned out they were, say, english terrorists posing as russians posing as... hmmm, i dunno, arabs?
1. "Remember, no Russian." That doesn't mean not to kill another Russian, it means to not speak Russian during the assault.
2. Teddy Bear has been in previous CoD games, it's not an "easter egg" or a hint to anything else.
3. The second perk shown is extreme conditioning, not a new perk (not many people us it, maybe why so many people think it's new). I agree with some previous posts that the last "perk" (arrow pointing down) may not be a perk.
4. No mention of the scuba divers? (1:24.52) Battleships? (1:23.58)
If you listen closely, it says "remember, no russian/rushin". not sure which one it is, but there is definetely no s on the end of the word. as for the perks, stopping power, extreme conditioning, 2 knives (when you press melee, it does 2 knives, in case you miss first???), and portal (mayb transports you to another teammate w/ same perk. unlikely, and would ruin the game if they did this. unrealistic therefore stupid. this isnt halo lulz), and 5th sign i think is an airport sign and it was their attempt to disguise the other 4 as signs.
the second perk isnt the same as "Extreme Conditioning" because "Extreme Conditioning" is a person with lines behind him, which causes the illusion that he is running. Also, "Two Knives" perk sounds dumb as hell, it is probably that you cant get knifed, or it is harder for you to get knifed. Look at the "Dead Silence" perk in COD 4... it has the same " \ " through it, and dead silence makes your "Noise level go down while walking and running". So i think my idea of the "no knifing" or "harder to knife" is reinforced by that. Also, if anyone thinks that the above perk mentioned is 2 RPG's, i have a news flash, ZOOM IN!!! you can clearly see that it is a knife, the same symbol when you knife someone in COD 4. ALSO TO NOTE!!! 2 RPG's is ALREADY A PERK!!
in the new cod waw maps when you get the teddy bear in the random box it explodes and switches positions mabe it stands for the innocent people killed in terrorist attacks and the russian thing they were pointing bombs at us years ago in the cold war and they went up through cuba i think it was and that could be where the statue is i think there redoing the cold war
The second perk most likely has something to do with running....The image is of the winged sandal, a symbol for the Greek Messenger God Hermes, and has been used for decades as the Track/Cross Country symbol. (competitive running events)
Also i dont think the "fith Perk" is a perk at all....looks like an airport sign to me
Ok people. Here is my two cents, and if you guys don't already see a possible connection between this trailer and Call of Duty 4, here is what I can see.:
These men are well armed and heading into an airport. I also believe they may be following someone.
Remember the secret mission at the end of call of duty 4? You had to apparently find a civilian held hostage by Russians on a hijacked plane with the crew dead.
Here is my take, this trailer may take place as the events for that end mission were unfolding, so you are seeing how this trailer and the end of Call of Duty 4 may be connected? anyone else see what I mean?
i think that the 3rd icon means that you can block someone elses knife melee attack. i just want to customize my characters uniform and drive jeeps patriots and jets like warhawk.
perhaps the trailer focusses on following the russians, not to highlight the terrorist attack which starts a war, but at one point it looks as though you are a third person to it and that you are with the russians carrying out the attack. In modern warfare you were the USMC and SAS attacking the terrorists, i think that maybe this time round you ARE the terrorists fighting back...? just thoughts :P
My ideas would be that the winged foot would be silent movement(forgot the real name). The third icon could be new or possibly RPG's. The third one is completely unrecognizable maybe some kind of a-bomb thing or a grenade perk. The forth I doubt is even a perk, considering that this is an airport and that it is larger than the other perk symbols it is most likely just a normal sign. Other ideas: when they are in the elevator(between floors 1 and 2) they may be saying "stand by" or as the video suggests it maybe another language.
"no russian" i think he says, meaning that they could be posing from another country whereas they are from russia, and they are saying to say anything in russian to give us away?
Argh! It's ridiculous how many times I've had to say this! He says "Remember...YOUR Russian" Sheesh! I'm assuming he is meaning be prideful in what they're are about do, You people! Grrrr!
i think they say "remember dont rush in" i think they mean if they go to fast its to suspicous although i mainley agree with those who say "remember no rushing"
1. Stopping power 2. Extreme Conditioning/lighter steps/faster speed(any of those) 3. Maybe the perk that allows for more than one piece of equipment on your gun? (ie: Sight and silencer) 4. Something maybe to do with spawning?
There's Also A Oil Rig Towards The End, So Maybe The S.A.S Are Back In It
And When I First Saw The Trailer It Sounded Like Remember The Russian As In Zakahev (Leader Of The Ultra-Nationalist Party In MW1)
But Going Back To The S.A.S Captain Price And Gaz Wouldn't Be In It Because They Died In Game Over (Last Mission) So We Might Be Playing As Soap Again Or Soap Is Your Commanding Officer
ok. I beleive that the one guy is russian and one is american cuz you can tell that the second guy that says " remember no russian" does not have an accent so i think for some reason the americans and russians team up for some other conflict that is happening and end up working together.
1= stopping power 2= higher jump/light footed (less sound or quicker) 3= counter knife (defend the first stab) 4= martydom (dunno) 5= elevator sign or play dead (no sign comes above your head when aimed at, so can lie on the ground etc)
you can see an offshore oil rig in it, theres a container ship again, that is Rio with the jesus cross, theres a scene on the left that looks like their in a passenger train possibly a plane, you see the small 2 seater helicopters whizzing by and also a fighter jet crosses from right to left bombing. and the teddy, but its in all the cod games.
maybe not all perks. 4th "perk" looks like a mushroom cloud from an atomic bomb. maybe kils all on map for a 10-15 kil streak? like in zombies in cod5.
5th "perk" not a perk at all. its bigger than all the rest
im hoping the nazi zombie equivalent in modern warfare 2 will be zombie somali pirates! you would be on the deck of a ship and zombie pirates would continually raid with their own tiny ships
