Washington D.C. burns in newest Modern Warfare 2 trailer [update]

I never felt that Call of Duty games were graphically impressive at all. Call of Duty 2 was fun but most of the texturework was bad, and lots of little things annoyed me like fences that were just textures pupping up from the ground rather than proper models. The engine they used for CoD4 looks a whole lot better, but it still seems dated, and the fact that they're running at 1024 x 600 (that's netbook resolution!) doesn't help either.

Don't get me wrong, CoD4 was probably one of the most fun multiplayer games I've played, but if you're just looking at graphics they've always been a bit behind.

And if you don't pro-military propaganda media like this hasn't been used to brainwash people in future events. Check out Commander Cobra predicting the talking about the economic collapse and a new currency and "New Order"

I've written up an article about this trailer, for those who would like to see it.

Hope Joystiq doesn't mind me linking to it, since it pertains to the topic. I credited you guys for making me aware of it anyway. Peace!

Hows that tinfoil hat working for you? I went to your blog and read your article, and let me just say, I laughed pretty hard. You sound like an absolute nutcase, but no, your mind is just open to the "truth". Apparently the government has their hands in ALL of media, to "brainwash" everyone?

Best part is, CoD4 was fairly ANTI-war. If you actually used that brain under the tinfoil hat you would have seen this. Your character dying in a nuclear wasteland, with all your American Marine buddies (doesn't make us seem so invincible huh) around you is a pro-war stance? Or what about when ALL your squad dies alone on a bridge in another country, miles away from home. Since it was a covert mission, the only recognition any of them receive is a media report calling the nuclear launch a test. Your squad saved the world and died for it, but no one will ever know, and your government didn't come save you when you needed them most (in fact the Russians did, lolirony). And lastly, the disconnected cold reality of the AC-130 mission, did you start to feel even the slightest twinge of guilt, for killing pixels on a black and white computer screen? You pressed a button, 2 dozen people died, this is war, its not fun, its not heroic, people die, people are lost, and all the citizens at home that you think you are fighting for? Most of them don't care/won't remember you/won't find out about it anyways.

I would think people like you who look so deeply into everything would see that underneath the whole war-fps genre that is CoD4, there is a very strong anti-war message. And if you were not smart enough to look that deep, then how about the anti-war quotes EVERY time you die.

You're just a fucking insane internet blog hero, spew your Illuminati BS somewhere else.

You're tinfoil comments are ridiculous. Just a poor attempt to distract from the information I'm actually presenting. Tell me? Did you even watch the Commander Cobra footage or the Predictive Programming video? I thought those videos made the argument pretty damn obvious.

Predictive Programming is a fact of life. It's been happening for centuries. It's not a "conspiracy theory". What was the main line up before the War? All war movies? What's the major line up now? All pandemic and global natural disaster movies. But fine, keep your head in the sand and think it's a coincidence. You'd have to be an idiot that knows nothing of history to think that the government isn't using the media to promote their agendas.

The cases of death you mention seem to only glorify the soldiers involved. COD, in my view, plays this weird balancing act where it pretends to be anti-war, but when you pick apart the actual message at the end of the day, it really only glorifies the heightened drama that war brings. The anti-war quotes, during the death sequences, just parrot "war is awful" to you over and over before re-spawning you to blast a few more heads. The notion that there's any solid anti-war material is nonsense. The writing in these games is average at best anyway.

Besides the entire game makes "terrorists" appear as much more of a threat than than they actually are. This is where the propaganda is most blatant, in my view. Al Qaeda, for example, is funded by the CIA. It's never really addressed in the Modern Warfare series. So the very fact that the game makes you believe in a reality where terrorists are a serious threat is promoting a nonsense premise in the first place. Besides, like I said, it romanticizes American soldiers dieing in a war they never should have enlisted for in the first place, just on the basis that 9/11 was a false flag operation.

I commented on Joystiq because the new trailer is absolutely blantant predictive programming. But if you want to continue this debate, put it in the comments section of my blog on the article. I don't want to overrun Joystiq's comment section with a tangent topic that they might not want.

I must add, however, that the Illuminati is a real organization. It can be found in history books. The notion that they are anything "mysterious" or a hair brained "theory" is nonsense, mostly promoted by Hollywood movies.

That's how bad the programming is. People can't tell their left hand from their right even when the documented evidence is presented to them.

Anyway, on my blog if you want to continue.

yeah I was thinking saw mixed with some music off of the fragile by NIN

super bowl?

Funny I thought about that a lot with the first Halo too, it said Combat Evolved on the front of the box... But to me it seemed like every other FPS I played. Then again I guess I can understand its popularity, it was released on a console, release it as a PC title first and it would have been forgotten quickly.
