Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Headed to Brazil?

Scrubbing through the trailer provides more questions than answers.

March 26, 2009 - Last night, the world rejoiced when IGN showed the brand new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 trailer and announced the release date of Nov. 10, 2009. However, details on the actual game were more than a bit scarce. Thankfully, IGN knows a number of top COD operatives (see: nerds), and they were happy to tear apart the video for the news behind the sonar-like trailer.

During the short video, images briefly flash in green against the dark background. It might just look like sounds being recorded, but it seems like Infinity Ward put a whole lot more into it. Over on the official COD: Modern Warfare 2 site, you can go through the trailer second by second, zoom in, and see some hazy images lost in the green muck.

Nothing's official, but some of the things we've seen sure look like Rio de Janeiro's Christ the Redeemer and a Brazilian favela. Don't believe us? Go ahead and click on those links, or scope these images.

Of course, our operatives might be looking a little too into the trailer, but why would Infinity Ward put these things in there if they didn't mean something? Stay tuned.

Yay for the same old general stuff.

Damn shooters now can't seem to go anywhere except south-america, central-america, middle-east, or russia it seems.

Seriously, I'm not looking forward to IW's next terrible twitch-shooting extravaganza.

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare was nice!
Looking forward to COD:MW 2.
Hmmm, brazil....sounds kinda strange but i guess Infinity Ward know what they are doing.

 

[Makenshi]

Hope this leads Rockstar into making GTA 5 in Rio, now THAT would be cool

 

[Hoxie]

Hated MW and the new one doesn't look any better to me, also, I can only pray they never make a GTA in Rio/Mexico/Cuba nor anywhere even relatively close to any of those places.

 

[Roflcore]

I don't care about the scenario, as long as they don't fuck up the sp & mp balancing up again. Please no jumping grenadespam or standing autofire with heavy maschineguns deadaccurate on 1KM >_<

Oh and a little less blackwater (I'm sorry I can't hear yo..) style would also be appreciated

That's how it works, move the games to the jungles.

Silly gringos...

 

[SimpleMinded]

Lol, I was just looking at those screenshots, and maybe it's just the night vsion effects, but it looks like they're fighting in the woods.

Probably just not looking at it right

 

[Slaughter Manslaught]

Yep, its in Rio. The bus burning + christ redeemer confirms that. Brazilian criminals LOVE to burn buses, that's like a irrational pyromaniac instinct. The question is: Its going to be in Rio only or we're going to see other places, like Niteroi, São Paulo, Amazon and etecetera?

If they do a game in Brazil, I hope they do the research. Its just sad to see certain things, like:

Portunish: A cheap spanish mimicry of portuguese. Incredibly hilarious to watch a gringo doing that. And yes, some people know spanish, but some people also know english, and some people also can speak with Cthulhu, but they're usually kinda crazy.

Everyone looks like a "Generic Latin Dude": Brazil is much different from the rest of Latin America. Probrably the most ethnically diverse nation in the world. Some people look like Africans from Congo, some dudes in the southern regions look like Aryan Poster Boys (we got a lot of germans coming here during WWII, hell, I know one of 'em, in fact, my brother's ex, which who he had a son, is his daughter, and my nephew has some german blood), some people look like Italians (specially people in São Paulo), some people look like Amerindians, some people look like people straight out of Portugal, some people look like Syrians and some people look like Anglos and some people look like... Average Latino Dudes, and it goes on and on... And a lot of people look like a mix and match of many ethnic groups. Almost everyone has African ancestors, a lot of people have Italian ancestors (me, for example), portuguese ancestors, french ancestors, indian ancestors... its like someone reunited all or almost all ethnic groups in the world in a small group of hundreds and let'em have hot sex for a week. Then their progeny had a orgy some years after. And we're better for it. That's why we have some of the most beatiful women in the world (sorry Sweden, you lose). Most Euros and Americans think Brazilians look like average latino dudes, but that's due to Carmen Miranda looking like a Average Latino Woman.

Its always Carnival in Brazil: Always, just like its Always Mardi Gras in New Orleans. And no, we don't dance the tango, that's south of the border.

Yes, We Have Bananas: But this ins't philantropy, go buy them in a market or a supermarket. And no, there are no monkeys on the streets, but I saw some in the zoo and in some land my uncle owned. And no, Bananas are not our business. And its "Castanhas-do-Pará", not "Castanhas-da-Amazônia". Sure, Pará is in Amazonia, but its OUR stuff and we name it as we want and you can't do anything about it. We're just more l33t33r than the other northern states and we know it.

Football is awesome: Search your feelings for you know them to be true. And its not soccer, its "Futebol." Learn 2 read.

You deserve a critical kick in the groin and one in the ass, for calling northeastern people roofless, man... Also, you forgot the most important:

(big enlightening and entertaining post)

You kicked so much ass it's not even funny anymore...

... oh wait, it is!

Roofless Northeasterns, not Homeless Notherns; my mistake. It's written in blue on the 1st image, sorry if it wasn't you anyway.

About the image, it's not deforming my widescreen 22" LCD But I'll try and thumbnail it (always forget how to do it... damn...).

Edit: There, thumbnailed just for you son.

 

[generalissimofurioso]

I wonder if the Boys from Brazil are involved with the story.

I think the next GTA should take place in Tehran.

Stop being a moron, last Modern warfare took place all over a country, there's nothing stopping this one from taking place all over Brazil, including jungles. Think before you act. In fact, there's a high probability it'll take place in the Amazonian jungles, as developers want to show off their shiny new graphics engines nowadays.


I'm really looking forward to this game, but I was wondering whether to buy Modern warfare on Steam until now. I guess I'll wait, but it's too bad, because it's out in a long time. They should drop the price on Modern warfare, I'd play it until the sequel is released.

 

[Wooz]

Infinity Ward is doing it? Awesome. Cod4 was one of the best shooters I've ever played.

 

[Slaughter Manslaught]

Well, that's true, but... what was the size of said country?

 

[Ravager69]

Just don't put Martyrdom and Last Stand in the multiplayer, decrease the accuracy of weapons fired from the hip and all will be fine.
