Modern Warfare 2 Opens with Terror

October 27, 2009The following story contains spoilers from the Modern Warfare 2 campaign. If you do not wish to know anything about the game, please stop reading.

I’m serious. Don’t read if you don’t want spoilers.

Seriously.

Last warning.

A leaked video from France surfaced on the internet a couple of days ago, showing what appears to be the opening single-player campaign mission for Modern Warfare 2. In it, the players apparently assume the role of terrorist, and are seen entering an airport through an elevator with the rest of your squad members.

The team enters near the baggage check area where about 20 civilians are standing before being gunned down ruthlessly by your squadmates. The rest of the level takes the team through the airport shooting civilians lying on the ground and running away in fear. The graphic depictions in this sequence are some of the most violent-looking and realistic scenes we’ve seen in a video game. This could cause controversy from the mainstream media for obvious reasons.

Activision or Infinity Ward have not returned requests for comment on this video at this time. We do know Modern Warfare 2 has officially leaked in France when a video from yesterday showed the new 3rd-person perspective camera angle, which Infinity Ward did confirm.
