    Call of Duty: Police Warfare isn't real, but we wish it was

    Even though there’s a disclaimer at the beginning of the Call of Duty: Police Warfare trailer that’s been making the rounds, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was the real deal — after all, it looks legit, has a pretty decent narrator, and even features a bunch of concept art. And hey, the concept seems plausible enough, right?

    Posted by YouTube user swedishtaco85, the trailer for Call of Duty: Police Warfare promises a new installment of the record-breaking franchise that takes a more local approach to stopping bad guys by putting you in control of the Los Angeles Police Department’s S.W.A.T. team. Your mission? Stop a bunch of masked bank robbers using a variety of techniques, including the normal running, ducking, and shooting, but also a bit of rappelling and other strategic maneuvers. The game promises to let you play as the bad guys, too — which seems like a fun option.

    The makers of the trailer didn’t stop there, though, and pushed the envelope even further by framing the game as an upcoming downloadable title for the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live, powered by the Infinity Ward engine found underneath the hood of Modern Warfare 3.

    It’s clearly a lot of work and attention to detail for a fan-made trailer, and the concept seems sound — so we can’t help hoping Activision takes note of Police Warfare.

      Some cops are going to be late for work, or not show up at all.

        It's the only way they'll get to shoot someone without having their judgement questioned.

      This was the same basis for counter-strike... terrorist vs counter terrorism units, basically swat vs criminals

      Or you could just play cop games like CSS, SAMP/MTA, etc.

      MP should be fun but everyone will want to play as the criminals.

      Wonder what stage we get to pepper spray peaceful protestors. Or when we get to kill civilians with lethal force for no apparent reason. But come on already, had to know it was fake when the filthy LAPD was made the "good" guys. We all know that to be a lie.
    • tjmwerewolf  •  Tyler, Texas  •  3 mths ago
      Yeah, playing as "bad" guys does sound fun.
    • raven  •  3 mths ago

    • The Central Scrutinizer  •  Norwalk, Ohio  •  3 mths ago
      Gee whiz, I hope the game includes TASERing old women by the roadside, executing black guys on an Oakland train platform, beating homeless schizophrenics to death on the street, stuffing a plunger handle up some "perps" #$%$..I mean, you want realisim don't you? Then let's make it so....you rotten oinker-lovers can kiss my behind...
      • A Yahoo! User 3 mths ago

      I guess call of duty is running out of ideas! As a fan of the series this sounds like it is going to be the biggest piece of poo they have ever made!
      • joshuas 3 mths ago
        Did you even read the article?
      • james poch 3 mths ago
        Lols @ 'as a fan of the series'.
    • Uriarte  •  3 mths ago
      Way too many cops think they are soldiers as it is now.
      When in American history did Cops need assault rifles or armored cars? Way too many police love to buy military gear to pretend to be soldiers and carry it over to their work.
      • aeiou 3 mths ago
        They started needing assult rifles and armored cars the same time the criminals started using them.
      • A Yahoo! User 3 mths ago
        how often do you hear about criminals runing around with assault rifles and armored cars???? once a decade???? a guy stole a tank once from a military base so we should give all the cops tanks too.....
    • American Sheeple  •  3 mths ago
      Police state coming to America soon.
      • A Yahoo! User 3 mths ago
        its already here
    • MacGyver  •  Prague, Czech Republic  •  3 mths ago
      So is this going to let you plant drugs on people during traffic stops? Or kill their caged and collared pit bulls during no-knock-entries on the wrong address? How about friendly fire, or using extreme force on restrained and detained suspects? What about use of tasers on unarmed elderly women with heart conditions? Do you get the option to delay medical aid? I want reality!
    • Ty Vallon  •  Medellin, Colombia  •  3 mths ago
      play as the bad guy and kill cops!!! excellent
    • Joey  •  3 mths ago

    • screwybruce  •  Nome, Alaska  •  3 mths ago

    • mike b  •  3 mths ago
      That would be sweet it would a morden verison of Counter Strike- having a leveling system taking down meth houses or defending your weed growing fields from the DEA. I would buy it
    • Eric  •  3 mths ago
