I was in the process of buying a new, chatting w/ the sale rep etc, and I could see out the corner of my eye - a preview of a new game, or coming soon game - it was distracting to say the least - it looks awesome.
The preview looked very "Call of Duty Modern Warfare" esque. So I looked for info about the recently released sequel - but a sequence I saw in the preview showed para-military and guerilla militia in what looked like a South or Central American culture in an urban warfare setting - mixing it up with U.S. commandos; something like what was seen in the movie Clear and Present Danger - for the Columbia sequences of that film.
The info of what I know of COD-MW2 seems to indicate that game is primarily a Russia and U.S. soil setting. So I'm not convinced what I saw was that game - but certainly had that style of game
Can anyone shed some light on this. Thanks. I knew I should have gone over to check it out - but was rushed to the check out after I settled on my TV then of course out of mind with all the hoopla of purchasing and getting in the van.

It might be Just Cause 2, that's set in a tropical island environment along with urban settings.

Thanks for the hit, but I don't think so. I'm pretty sure the one I saw was more first-person. Just Cause is 3rd person - and doesn't have the same feel as I read it.
My gut tells me its more akin to Call of Duty Modern Warfare; but the one scene that stands out in my head showed like colombian drug cartel thugs in a poverty stricken urban setting being wasted by like Navy Seals or something. But I didn't get a sense from reading about it, that MW2 has that scene - looks like its Russian snow speeders, american soil near DC, and submarie scene and an aerial fight scene.

Ah yes, there are a few levels of MW2 set in Rio. Those might be what you saw.
It's gotta be! It wasn't just military tanks et al, it was actual thugs - like gangbanger thugs; wearing bandana colors etc.
So the shantytown in Brazil is probably what I saw.
Thanks so much. That game is making a killing (pun intended). It's on my "most wanted" list.
On a seperate subject, I saw the trailer for Ghost Recon - looks good too; is it only available on 360? (I have PS3).
Thanks,
Robert
