With Sunday drawing to a close, developer Infinity Ward has loosed a new trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, one that ends in the flaming ruins of a rather iconic locale.

The anticipated shooter sequel hits PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 10--the same day the first Modern Warfare arrives on Wii and Mobilized comes to DS.

Very nice. Although I guess Fallout 3 will kind of mute the punch of the whole post-apocalypse Washington D.C. for people.

  New York may have been a better choice.

    That won't happen any time soon for political correctness. Perhaps Los Angeles or San Francisco...

      A destroyed, or San Francisco in the process of being destroyed, would make for an awesome setting in a video game...

    I couldn't play FO3 because of Independence Day, so I definitely wont be playing this.

  Yeah it did occur to me that MW2's rendition of the Washington Monument looked a hell of a lot like Fallout 3's. I suppose it has something to do with the notion that if it was partially fallen, it wouldn't be so obvious that it was the Washington Monument anymore.

  Oddly enough I've played countless hours of FO3 and my first reaction was, "Oh cool, no more Middle East settings." At least, not in the trailer.
