Here's a blow-by-blow account of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 demo shown in today's E3 by Microsoft (X-Box) in REVERSE order. Enjoy!

  Lights come up, and Schappert reveals two Modern Warfare 2 map packs will come to Xbox Live first.

  Positively dizzying, high-speed chase through snowy woods and over frozen lakes. Explosions knock down trees which must be evaded--this is as intense as anything in the series.

  MacTavish says grab the snowmobile, and they're off.



• Posted 10:56 PST
  

  Russians are in hot pursuit on snowmobiles.

• Posted 10:56 PST
  

  Player and MacTavish make a break for it, running to a small snow-covered village.

• Posted 10:55 PST
  

  As usual, fire is coming from all and every direction.

• Posted 10:55 PST
  

  Trucks and planes explode in the crossfire.

• Posted 10:55 PST
  

  A full-fledged firefight ensues.

• Posted 10:55 PST
  

  Player evades half-dozen Russians by a helicopter, only to encounter 20 more. He tries to evade them, but then an explosion alerts everyone...just as the blizzard clears.

  Motion sensor is going to play a big role, since you can't see anything.

• Posted 10:53 PST
  

  Player tags about a half-dozen Russians blinded by the snow.

• Posted 10:53 PST
  

  Now infiltrating base during a blizzard using an Aliens-style motion sensor hooked up to a silenced assault rifle.

• Posted 10:52 PST
  

  Typical Infinity Ward "Holy F***" moment as a jet thunders by, knocking off much of the ice. After steadying for a moment, the player slides down several dozen feet and nearly falls off.

• Posted 10:51 PST
  

  First-person view of ice-climbing is nerve-rattling because the ice keeps crumbling.

• Posted 10:51 PST
  

  First gameplay footage show Captain MacTavish scaling the side of an icy cliff with crampons. The floor is hundreds of feet below--don't play this if you have vertigo.

• Posted 10:50 PST
  

  Jason West and Vince Zampella from Infinity Ward take the stage.
