The folks over at IGN (http://www.ign.com/) have posted up an in-depth look into the Call of Duty 4 trailer that features details the average viewer wouldn't even notice at first glance. Here's a portion from the article:
The most immediately obvious change is - of course - the modern era of warfare the game takes place in. The footage cuts back and forth between locations in Eastern Europe and locations in the Middle East, and hints at a terrorist organisation with nuclear capabilities. We're also repeatedly introduced to an insignia used by the terror organisation - a gold and red flag with crossed twin blades rising up to a golden star. It shows up at several key points in the trailer, and is especially notable during the execution scene later in the trailer. The elements of a star and sabres hint that COD4's foe could be an evil coalition between Middle Eastern and European terrorists. Think Al Qaeda meets the Chechen Rebels.
While we don't know many specifics yet, it's clear that we'll either be playing as US or Russian/European troops. American's play a huge part in the trailer, basically hogging the limelight, while a European accent delivers most of the dialogue. It's also clear that there's going to be huge variety in the locations on offer in the game.
