We’re still several weeks away from the launch of the game, of course, so while a dropping a launch trailer now might seem strange, it’s a thing more and more publishers have been doing in recent years, mainly to ramp up pre-orders. Love the tactic or hate it, though, this new Modern Warfare 2 trailer is good. The focus is squarely on the single-player campaign here. We get treated to plenty of new footage, showing both gameplay and cutscenes from various missions. The timing of the trailer makes a little more sense when you consider that players who pre-order Modern Warfare 2 will be able to play the campaign one week early, which is something new for Call of Duty that’s likely to continue in the future. Modern Warfare 2 releases October 28 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. It’s also launching on Steam for the first time in years. Jim, Connor and myself recently sat down to work through our thoughts on the Modern Warfare 2 beta, and whether what we played was enough to make us excited about launch. You can watch that video below.
