Finally, Some official footage of the hugely-anticipated Modern Warfare 2. A brand spanking new Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 trailer has been shown at Microsoft’s E3  Press Conference. Xbox bigwig John Schappert let fly the news after a gameplay demonstration of Modern Warfare 2 (video below), which saw the player traverse an icy cliff, stalk up to a building, strangle people and then runaway from a building amidst gunfire. It was tense and very impressive. The game will include all the war-themed elements you’ve come to expect, including castles, helicopters, snowmobiles, ice climbing, and lots and lots of snow. Modern Warfare 2 Scheduled for a November 10th 2009 release.

Microsoft also announced  that the first two map packs for Modern Warfare 2 will be timed exclusives on Xbox 360. No dates were announced for this DLC, but hopefully we’ll find out soon enough.

Check out the video and the official press blurb after the break .
