Infinity Ward knows a thing or two about showing off its games during a press conference. After watchingModern Warfare 2be played in front of a live audience at Microsoft’s 2009 shindig, and thinking about how many ways the demonstration could have gone awry, I have settled on that conclusion.
The last time my eyes were this glued to the screen, I was watchingCall of Duty 4’s“All Ghillied Up” levelduring E3 2007. Similarly, the section ofModern Warfare 2shown starts off relatively calm, free of any humans besides you and your partner, but quickly ramps up the adrenaline in a very cinematic way.
But enough of me transcribing the events of a videogame as if I’m telling a story — you owe it to yourself to watch this thing.
