Wow. That was the closest I've seen a game trailer get to acting like a movie trailer. If it'd just give a few more specifics other than showing off completely awesome animation & graphics, it'd be even better.

For the record, at the end, the russian says: "All wars are lies."

    I'm not gonna lie, it's lookin' pretty sweet. Kinda funny that it took them three other games to figure out to move on from WWII, though. Slick lighting and stuff. Sucks that it probably is going to require a Vista purchase or something, or at least I'd need to buy a new video card ><

    The trailer was apparently put together by someone who studied at the same place as the people who made Batman Begins: some of those cuts were like, a millisecond long. Honestly I want to see what's happening, not test my tolerance for epileptic shock.

    Edit: and since when do you speak Russian?

    Crono: Infinity Ward didn't do 3, hence why it didn't come for PC. They refused to be console only, and didn't own the rights, last I heard.

    And Tycho: I don't. But Digg is a useful thing <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    Unfortunately, that's not what's going to happen when you actually get to play it. If you really want to know what this, Crysis or the new Halo are going to be, go watch or play some CS 1.6. That's about as glorifying as these games will be.

    Maybe some better graphics, bigger maps, more opponents, but it's still the same ole FPS. Gimme some realism please!

    The point of the original Call of Duty was purely cinematics. Moments that made you feel like you were in some huge, orchestrated scene.

    Halo is about tactics and how to handle things correctly. If you want to dumb it down to a point + click, be my guest, but me cutting off your only path away from my bullets with a grenade, leaving you nothing but death awaiting, is tactics. And more, to boot.

    ...and if you're saying Crysis is gonna be just another counter-strike, you just haven't seen the gameplay videos. Seriously, try harder.

    As pretty as it looks, am I the only one who thinks it's gonna be exactly like all the other CoD's? One mission with a huge assault. One mission to rescue the captured prisoner. One mission to plant bombs on tanks. And the last mission where all fun is thrown out of the window, with endless waves of enemies and only you, with your trusty thompson/m16 with infinite ammo.

    It feels like I'm already frustrated with the game.

    They let me down with the COD series. Never forget.

    Why? I knew they can't rehash Normandy forever, but, aw forget it. The series was dead to me since CoD2

    A middle eastern setting never did it for me, so it probably wouldn't do anything now. Looks pretty "meh" to me.

    There hasn't even been an Infinity Ward CoD title <i>since</i> CoD2. How can it be dead to you when it hasn't attempted to live?

    Looks quite nice, MS will also like the look of it and give the developers lots of $$$$$$$ for it being vista only, GG.

    I hate trailers like this. Yes it looks amazing. Although I want to know how it plays, not how it looks cinematically.

    I didn't like CoD2. The last CoD I can say I truly enjoyed was CoD: UO.

    I don't really know how I feel about this one... especially since I just saw trailers for MoH Airborne, which looks totally awesome and now I'm watching Band of Brothers for the umpteenth time.

    Maybe "modern" warfare just doesn't do it for me...

    <!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->Trailers are crap. Game trailers are worse than crap. At least movie trailers show what ACTUALLY will happen in the movie. Game trailers are about as reliable as those burger king commercials that show an attractive burger in the commercial, yet when you get it, it looks like it was run over by a car.

    It's a hype machine and some people aren't able to realize that it shows nothing about how it will play, which will be the exact same as the last CoD, the last Battlefield, the last CS.

    Another FPS, a new setting, some more weapons and some better looks. Woopee. I'm playing a half-life 1 mod, which has a lot more depth and innovation than this million dollar joke of a game.

    I'm just wondering how many suckers can keep playing the same game, without realizing all they did is add 3 more pixels into a soldier's foot. At least Madden doesn't try to hide that they rehash everything from last year.

    Not every game has to strive to be innovative. NS is still my favorite game. Doesn't mean I shouldn't spend my time playing a movie.

    Smood is quite possibly the most pessimistic and narcyssistic(sp?) person I have ever had the misfortune of hearing speak :/

    e/ the entire point of trailers are to generate sales, not to show you exactly what you're buying and let you decide whether you want to buy it or not. please learn the entire point of advertising?

    <!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->Well, it makes me sick. You throw me a picture of a carls jr. burger and I laugh when I actually buy one at the store. It's fake. It's annoying. They need to do us a favor and speak, "Featuring the same gameplay you've seen in CoD 1, 2 and 3! Except now your finger on your hand models aren't stuck to each other!"

    Pessimistic... um. I don't think I am. Well, I prefer to be more neutral on things, unbiased I guess. I'm a completely different guy online than onfoot. At school, I'm more of the passive weird guy who gets good grades, then on the pc, I fight people in games or on forums. I want to be optimistic and I am with my friends, but... when I'm alone, I tend to not do things I have to do, feel guilty about not doing them, not get enough sleep...

    Thank you, I finally have something quote worthy for myself!

    Smood: Its the first trailer. I doubt they even have a single level near complete. Breathe, in, out.

    It's not like they're gonna be making a new trailer that shows actual game-play once the levels are complete.

    They aren't? Infinity did for CoD1- dozens. Same with CoD2. Treyarch didn't for 3 'cause console kiddies tend to ignore trailers 90% of the time.

    It'd be sweet if the whole series was fictional and had persistent characters or some continuity or something crazy. I'm kinda realizing that so many games are very uncreative/boring. Not that continuity is the most original concept in the world, but I dunno, just seems like they've got the series as a series purely for the sake of name recognition.

    BUT whatever. Creativity doesn't make the world go 'round like money does, I guess.
