Modern Warfare 2 Cutscene - Emergency Broadcast System

[TheBrickBros101]

Sees this: thinks its real: shits pants

[commanderjdt]

@Thunderbirds101 The tones are wrong if this is the ebs.

[TrueMinecrafter]

Is this real?

[JesterFOX3]

@TrueMinecrafter Yes. The russians are gonna blow up the entire planet in 2 years. We're screwed man! We're damn screwed!

[1337RecklessX]

ROFL I downloaded this, put it in my USB stick and play it in my class TV, Everyone just freaked out.

[forgetfulmandude]

@1337RecklessX Yeah, sure, I bet you did.

[1337RecklessX]

@forgetfulmandude Nice sarcasm dude. 

[103metallicafan]

i got to this cutscene and my dad walked in and was like screw this go get the shotguns lolol

[Ellisthemechanic]

This makes me shit my pants when it appears on TV. 

[thebaseballcardguru]

This is weird, considering the government replaced the Emergency Broadcast System with the Emergency Alert System in 1997.

[marioparty834]

When I first heard this I almost got my handgun and almost shot my television lol

[Raiderette95]

that is crraazzyyy i go to the school that's in the broadcast lls

[deadjobs]

I was playing the game and i let the cutscene roll. My grandma walks in and starts reading it and she says "oh my god is this really happening?!" lolz

[ninjamaster97]

This is ominous as hell! Because it reminds us that some serious shit is heading our way! Freaked the hell out of me when I got to this scene.

[dumbbros]

I LOE THIS SOUND!!

[TheCooter88]

Makes my adrenalin pump every time!!!! Crazy how a simple tone can do that. .... im sure very soon we're all gunna hear it

[lsvtecb18c1]

its funny cause i actually live in Prince georges county maryland, so when i saw that shit i was honestly like WTF is this... i thought it used your location from the ps3 network, and put in your county for the warning, guess not. crazy game.

[TheDjHeckler]

this still gives me goosebumps

[CartoonBlast229z]

@TheDjHeckler Tell me about it

[elviscash56]

It's actually called the Emergency Alert System (EAS) now. It replaced the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS). So whoever developed this part of the game actually got it wrong because that sound does not go with the old EBS.

[SoulSpy123]

This scares me and i don't know why.

[Exquissie]

This scared the crap out of me

[OtaConnor]

I find this oddly comforting.

[DeadRaymanWalking]

I remember my dad playing this game on the PS3, and when I was walking in, I heard this, and thought he was watching TV, but then I found out it was part of the game. Scary.

[Trashcansam123]

BEEEEEEEEEEEP

BEEEEEEEEEEEP

BEEEEEEEEEEEP

BEEP

BEEP

BEEP....

[krakkrman]

Omg I just tripped balls over that cutscene I live right by a prince George county and thought shit was going down

[CriminalMacabre]

Every fucking time I see this cutscene my body hair rises.

[SakaniTheForsaken]

What makes this cutscene so great is that its so real.

[Rewemarkt0]

Best cutcene from the whole game xD...that was a joke ;)

[halorechfreak2]

this worked quite well in the game.

[SignMePlease1]

So correct me if I'm wrong but this EBS in Modern Warfare 2 was because Russia invaded the U.S. and all hell was breaking loose in Washington D.C. right?

[Dedmon319]

Somebody turn that damn tv off...

[KristovGaedkavich]

I didnt realize i was still playing the game when this started i was like!!! SHIT!!! you got me infinity ward! lol

[LOREepic]

@KristovGaedkavich ME2!! I was playing this level at midnight, and the first time this played I am like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[SKILLS836]

LOL, i played this on max volume, and i FREAKED my parents out, never seen them run ANY faster, boy, u should have seen their face xD

[threadysparrow]

@SKILLS836 omg that would have been hilarious to see

[shryan10]

lol when i was about 9 i thought this was real and freaked out and i was like what the hack o no were all goana die! lol

[Nanomaster828]

Ok. I was just asking because in 2007 there was an EAS malfunction, causing the Chicago area to recieve that tone (designed to signal a national emergency) followed by a WGN radio sports broadcast.

[Redjet75]

I cannot lie since I live in pg county this scared the hell out of me lol

[GunSlinger092]

This never fails to scare me. I also do think it's one of the greatest cutscenes.

[CidSilverWing]

They faked an EBS in MW2?

[dineablade]

@CidSilverWing have you played MW2?

THE RUSSIANS INVADE AMERICA OF COURSE THEY ARE GONNA PLAY THIS!

[pictureframeproduct]

sos?

[meboss97]

why would it say emergency broadcast system when the sound is the emergency alert system

[ExtraTerrestrials]

I'd rather listen to this than Justin Bierber

[tzarax0]

@ExtraTerrestrials agreed

[yoshi9891]

@ExtraTerrestrials UGH Sooooo right dude

[Raymund925]

@ExtraTerrestrials LOL

[cuebone69]

@ExtraTerrestrials LOL

[theunknown117]

this shit scared me the first time when i was playing MW2

[Guitarfollower22]

Thumbs up if you just looked up all videos pertaining to an "Emergency Broadcast (Alert) System" For some reason I feel so into things when something major (disastrous) is occuring.

[OtaConnor]

@Guitarfollower22 I am SO fucking glad that I'm not alone there.

[Horrorlord1]

@Guitarfollower22 I actually searched for this, zombie apocalypse, and worldwide virus pandemics. And finnaly, the new world order. I feel the same way as you.

[Guitarfollower22]

@Horrorlord1 hah thanks man, idk what it is, of course i dnt want anyone to die but it's awesome when something bad happens. I live on Long Island and I was extremely disappointed by the Hurricane over the summer lol.

[MrBubby2nd]

Iv gotta play this when my parents are in the room

[UncleRecolour]

Someone turn of that damn tv...

[Gunmaster333]

Ramirez!!! Turn off that TV!!!

[micah9639]

I played this when my mom came in she thought it was real. It took me a few minutes to get her out of the bathroom

[betrekwoman]

Thumbs up if you live in PG county and while you werer playing this a parent came in and freaked out because they thought it was real.

[ghilliedealer]

shit just got real

[MetalSights]

I. Love. This. Cutscene.

The "EERRRRGGGHHHHH" sounds gives me goosebumps.

[musiclover1998100]

first tie i played this cutscene my older brother freaked cause he thought was actually happening. he was like 'shut off the game!' and i was like, "but i didnt save yet!"

[aleniag3]

peaceful. sometimes I play this for 10 times in a row.

[zionravescene]

Sounds like my old fax modem.

[KingLizard107]

i just played this 6 times because i was watching Deep Impact

[cshaugh214]

this scared the living shit out of me when i saw this because i actually thought that i sat on the romate and this was real

[rioulduke2]

@cshaugh214 same

[GSPatton89]

So I'm guessing the Redskins home game is canceled right?

[KingLizard107]

@GSPatton89 LOLOLOLOLOL!! XD

[mattrules924]

me and my friend were playing svr 11, and the sound was up, and i thought i heard the eas, sure enough, it was, but we could barely hear it, and the screen didnt change

[DeadRaymanWalking]

When I saw this, I thought an actual EAS/EBS test was going on...this was when my dad was playing this game on the PS3.

[junkers1337]

When this comes up and there is no "this is a test" than you know the shit just hit the fan. Grab your gun and hold down the fort.

[1999hundred]

and bring your check book while your at it.

[EGRJ]

It says something that this can produce the same reaction as a half-hour of Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

[Lucap1000]

@EGRJ, It's more like 10 minutes of Amnesia.

[BoofBrotBratta]

means Save Our Souls.

[lmasta0340]

This motivated me

[superdupercake]

when i saw this cutscene it sent tingles up my spine

[chessvalley]

@McChang117 It is a distress signal. so 3 short beeps is s, 3 long beeps = o etc.

[groundtrooper091]

u know whats weird. Ok I get alot of storms and tornadoes here in NC but not near me well ya then all of the sudden an EBS comes on and says "The following Countys are in a Tornado Warning......Iredell, Greensborrow, Huntersville, Greenshill, Raleigh etc. and I dont get scared cause Im used to it. And one time I was over my friends house and we were downstairs playing a game and the TV was on and an EBS Errupted and said " A hail storm issued for Every Country in NC Take shelter Emidietly"

[teentitansfan55]

@glengogomovie *facepalms self*

[emo3826]

if we ever hear this we fucked in some way

[zxPivotManxz]

I live near prince george and this scared me.

[Jeffhardy6314]

thought this was real shit got scared

[tymanfity]

Seems Like Morras Code

[chessvalley]

@tymanfity It's SOS in morse code, 3 short beeps, 3 long, 3 short beeps

[kaiyan246]

i bet your getting lots of death until that happened or you left lol

i hope it dosent happen to me i get sirens every 3rd of each month without a tv warning and im near the sea

[sage296]

It creeped me out because i live in prince george's county and i was playing this and i thought it was actually happening XD

[ROBEESHAKE]

@sage296 no you dont.

[GSPatton89]

So I'm guessing the Redskins home game is canceled right?

[MrBalcora]

"Be aware of your surroundings. Remain alert."

Reading that always makes me really uneasy for some reason.

[NOSYPOWER]

@MrBalcora me too it like makes you feel scared in a way that you cant understand

[groundtrooper091]

@MrBalcora i know same here like when it says "Be aware of your Surroundings" just makes me feel like not safe like if I was actually in the game and like this went on TV. Then I would just lik be like OH S***! and like not feel comfortable anymore and go check outside for anything.

[elbebebonito]

man i was high today when i saw this shit it scared the shit out of me i though it was real and i though it said georgia in the begining and thats where im from haha scary shit

[TFDude101]

I thought my game was corrupted then he went, "Someone turn the damn TV off," and I was like, "Whew." I have my TV on while I sleep for some reason and whenever the sound plays it wakes me up and scares the crap out of me.

[michaelwatts100]

LOL, when i was palying my dad walked in and was WTF!? we gottah pack and ima like no dad its just the game XDDXDXDXDXDXD

[fester831]

This would be such a great prank to pull on someone parents.

[shredsheffield]

if i heard this suddenly come on the tv ,my heart would sink to my stomach...would we be ready?

[LHCLEGION]

i never really used to think about EBS alerts until i saw this. now they bother the shit out of me. :(

[MunchyToast001]

Is 3 small beeps a invasion ?

[SirosDude123456789]

@MunchyToast001 no if it's a long beep then it's an emergency like a volcano, or invasion or earthquake etc.

[robsee055]

Someone turn that damn thing off.

[dragonblader99]

they only use these broadcasts when it's like the end of the world, when there's a war, Earth Quake or any kind of tragedies ..

[dragonblader99]

they only use these broadcasts when it's like the end of the world, when there's a war, EarthQuake or any kind of tragedies .. LOL but in here, CORRUPTED

[Rotneybot]

Ahh Shit! Well, Pack your bags boys, Were going to France!

[mikems666]

everytime my GF hears this on TV and its a test she has a panic attack :P

[puppeiluv826]

I was playing this for the first time in my dorm. Saw this and had to do a double take. I was like.... is this me?! The fuck!

[98Darkrider]

@rodika56 Seriously? What did you do when you figured out it was just the game?

[evan1994]

This noise just played during 2 and a half men... not intentionally

[KingLizard107]

@evan1994 what episode?

[Nanomaster828]

@evan1994 do you by chance live in the Chicago area?

[evan1994]

@Nanomaster828 nope, im near toronto

[Leathlord]

I had a one in a million situation. The power went out and then came back on in Florida and there was a gigantic storm outside (craziest one i've ever seen). When the TV came back on it was 8 seconds of CoD then this happened so I was like what the hell.

[stephengerondakis]

HA! Prince Georges County! I live in Beltsville in PG County. This surprised the shit out of me though! lol

[Punks1Not2Dead3You4R]

@ROBEESHAKE Cry like a giant pussy..

[jakebradyhotter]

This exact sound came over my radio today...

[evandavis7]

This cutscene made the game a lot freakier. To me, the EAS buzzing and the computer voice is one of the creepiest things I've heard in my life.

[CommandoMario]

I personally think this is the greatest cutscene ever...To me, it really made the game come to life.

[SuperHeros918]

Even though it's a game it still creeps me out! Lol not really lol again admit I keep contradicimg my self!

[greatsilentdeath]

lol my dad was playing this game and the next thing my family knew my dad was calling everyone telling them to come home he just saw a EBS. *in my aria there is a prince George;s county : laughed my butt off when we saw he was playing a video game

[DeloreandudeTommy]

This reminds me of the time I was watching a TV show late at night, and since the channel wasn't coming in very clear, so I had to have the volume turned way up. When all of a sudden, this sound started up and scared the bajeebus out of me, it was, like, 50 times louder than the actual show was. (If I recall correctly, I was watching Mythbusters, and it came on at the exact same time that they blew up something)

[zoopartyanimal101]

OMG! I've seen this level before, the person who played it glitched out because the Sarge couldn't get to the panic room! LOL

[claytongeography]

If i ever see the EBC i think i would head for the closeted Fallout shelter and pack up my m4

[AwesomeRudi51]

when i saw this i thought Its was my Tv lol

[totaldestruction1497]

I remeber this. It's like what the civilian TVs would look like before the war began in the city.

[24mat1]

when i first read "Be aware of your surroundings. Remain Alert" it send chills down my spine...

[gilljames10]

i live in the county next to prince georges so when i played the game i thought this was real

[kaiyan246]

(Thinking) i wish i had modern warfare 2 for psp ¬.¬

[YTBYlover]

Screw the emergency message, I need to re-calibrate my TV!

[TheMrjonesOf2010]

chuck norris took over

[2005chevykodiak]

I heard that sound on my CB radio this morning (for weather warnings) and all I cound think of was a Russian invasion

[Shadow09160490]

@2005chevykodiak in Solvet Russia Americans raid Russia XD

no offence to any russians

Translation:

в Slovet России американцы raid России XD

нет преступления любой россиянам

[optimusecho]

we were experiecing severe floods and tsumamis state wide when i wasplaying this for the first time...needless to say i shit myself when this came up

[PathKiller29]

thumbs up this if u played Youtube snake using this video

[ignorimius]

well mw2 creators know how to scare people with the broadcast system :DDD

[noe39584]

@ignorimius when that happened i was going ummm i think the tv crap it self

[Hotrodx199]

You want to know what would make the best horror film? Emergency Broadcast system. Seriously. Just imagine you're sitting here by yourself in the dark, and then all your power goes out. And then all of a sudden, you hear the emergency broadcast system with pure darkness coming from a random place.

[cps41523360]

This sound has scared the shit out of me since I was 4. I can say when I saw this in MW2, It got me riled up enough to kill every Russian soldier in sight. If I saw this in real life with that message, me and half of America would be up in Arms.

[blowfishlol]

one of my favourite cutscene... it's scary.

[kus2ganteng]

EBS:

when you see one, you'll shit in your pants

[FranxNeto]

I'd seriously consider the event of a real emergency happening when I'd see this... I mean, you're playing a game, then an EBS message pops up.

...actually, come to think of it, I wouldn't freak out... I guess Italy doesn't even HAVE an EBS... :P

[ELTIGREROCKS10NEW]

I decoded the EAS tones.

The tones are just from a Required Weekly Test.

[sfadiks]

This cutscene was in the movie "Skyline" :D

[y2j456]

@sfadiks No it wasn't

[sfadiks]

@y2j456 It was. 

[y2j456]

@sfadiks No it wasnt the same you retard

[sfadiks]

@y2j456 It was. Don't be a retard. *the end*

[y2j456]

@sfadiks wow how much of a dumbfuck are you going to be? IT wasnt it the movie!. Yes it have that EAS alert but it have the same fucking message saying "pierce country". Skyline is a shitty movie like your life anyways

[joezetank]

MW2's campaign really drew me in with this techno-thriller, computers fail US invasion, i think a mission in the eyes of a US citizen who watches this broadcast and then tries to escape would have been incredible

[ColdBloodedMonsters]

I love this sound

[cowboyzsuk81]

what is the level??

[123Blackkitty]

@cowboyzsuk81 Washington dc

[joezetank]

@cowboyzsuk81 the level is called "of their own accord"

[Supcrude98]

This a question to anybody in Prince George's county. What if this really happened?

[Pelicanecho420]

lol i live right next to PG county

[ihatefattyslol]

This creeped the fuck out of me! Prince George's County is near where I live! I actually thought it was real for a second after seeing that lol

[jzv10]

I actually live in prince georges county and this freaked me out when I first saw this I was like WTF!

[SaBarrier265]

@LuigiRockz230 its more half way over. there is still1-3 hours left

[SaBarrier265]

holy shit i thought this was real at first when i was playing modern warfare 2

[dantr14]

@SaBarrier265 me too

[TheMOVIECRITICman]

god i hate this noise so much

[dantr14]

who else was freaked out when this showed up on the screen in the middle of playing
