Rumor: CoD Modern Warfare 2 set in Brazil?

Yesterday’s teaser trailer for CoD: Modern Warfare 2 was just as short as you could expect it to be. Minuscule as the length is, some people are already dissecting the video to every last detail they could squeeze out of it. One of the more identifiable details in the trailer include Rio de Janeiro’s famous Christ the Redeemer statue on Corcovado mountain. Could this mean that MW2 is set in Brazil?

Yesterday’s teaser trailer/soundclip for CoD: Modern Warfare 2 was just as short as you could expect it to be. Minuscule as the length is, some people are already dissecting the video to every last detail they could squeeze out of it.

One of the more noticeable details in the clip hints that the next game may in fact take place in sunny Brazil.

The freeze frame shots below were taken from the official website which actually allows you to analyze the entire trailer by pausing it at certain points and zooming in through the green lights. Respectively, they show Rio de Janeiro’s famous Christ the Redeemer statue on Corcovado mountain (located at the 1:24.05 mark in the timeline) and some Brazillian favelas (1:25.96 mark).

Activision and Infinity Ward‘s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for the Xbox 360 and PS3 is to be released on November 10, 2009.
