Seattle Police Car Chase Seems Taken Out of Call of Duty Modern Warfare Video Game

When you only have one squad car on your tail, you’re allowed to think about pulling a clever move and making yourself disappear, but only as long as you have a clever escape plan afterwards that involves underground tunnels and a lightning-quick plastic surgery. If there is more than one, then you can be sure there are countless others you can’t see circling you and cutting your escape routes.

If you also hear the repetitive drumming of a helicopter’s blades somewhere above, then you will literally need a tunnel to even begin thinking about an escape. Really, continuing to run is like pouring gasoline on your head while on fire - it will only make it worse.

We’d blame the adrenaline for the bad decisions these people make. If only they knew the kind of technology police uses now to track them down, they would probably regret not applying for the Police Academy and choosing to be on the wrong side of the law instead.

Anyone who has played the first installment of the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare video games series will immediately relive the “Death from Above” mission where they would be controlling the crew of an AC-130 gunship raining... uhm... death from above on some poor miniature soldiers’ heads.

The similarities are so striking that, at some point, you start to wonder what key was it that launched the missiles. Even the voice and the tone of the radio operator is the same, not to mention that night view camera.

If you want to skip to the interesting part, go to the 3:30 minute mark, where the suspect hits his car on a curb and is forced to stop. But it doesn’t end there. Oh, no. He tries to make a run for it, but is finally brought down in less than a minute. Enjoy the show below and, just for reference, we've included the “Death from Above” mission as well after it:
