Dimitris Christou shows how to recreate something similar to the call of duty intro all within Blender, using particles and Modifiers to animate a glowing waveform.

We’ll use a wave modifier a particle system and two force fields to create a cool CoD style intro clip. Enjoy!

Dimitris uses some cylinders that have a wave modifier on them to get the general motion, and then adds particles to finish off the look. Check out the tutorial for Call of Blender here.
