I think I agree with you on CoD4. That one was kind of a masterpiece, and maybe 6 aswell, though a ranger slaughtering civvies just because he was undercover made me wanna hit something. Really didn't like the idea of "he was just following orders" and then no one blinking when they found out. Though that might've just been a hole in the writing.

I haven't heard much of Ghosts, so I can't say for certain. What I did hear was that the US had built a massive Doomsday Spaceweapon and South America of all places decided to invade. South America, the place with oh-so much technology. Again though, I haven't played it or seen much of it, so I'm probably completely wrong.

Maybe I'm just comparing the trailers for each game in my mind. The trailers for the previous games felt like they were shouting "foreigners comin' for our freedums", where as this one doesn't seem to be doing that.
While you won't catch me calling the CoD stories the pinnacle of writing quality, the airport scene you mentioned actually is explained in a pretty big way.
The fact that you're an American soldier is why the bad guy kills your character and leaves the body at the airport. The Russians find it and assume that the Americans were behind the attack, and so they start the war.
I've only read a synopsis of Ghosts, but it looks like America basically got rekt by their own super-weapon when it was stolen by someone else and then got tag-teamed by all of South America after the US spent 10 years becoming a third world country.

I feel like I'm coming across as defensive. I think the CoD campaigns are okay, is all.

I thought that part was clever, the hole I'm talking about is that no one on the US/UK side gave two shits until they found out Shepard did it intentionally, they didn't question why he wasn't instead told to just kill Makarov before he slaughtered the airport.
Then again, I think Shepard may not have told them. It's been so long since I played it.

EDIT: again though, maybe I'm just subconciously comparing the trailers

"That was a very impressive speech sir, but I actually came in to ask where the restrooms are located."

I know, I know, I'm the scourge of gaming and/or a racist idiot, but damn me if that didn't look bloody cool. Still miffed that yet again they missed the opportunity to make World at War 2 with an Axis perspective, but powered-exoskeletons and crab tank walkers go a long way for compensation.

Has anybody else seen the extremely horrible trailers/commercials on TV with the opening of "This was captured on an Xbox One". As if Thats such a HUGE deal, i mean, it totally has like 3 GTX 780's SLI'd in there so its absolutely CRITICAL we saw this captured from it. I mean come on, you could at least TRY to disguise the fact you're trying to gull the morons into thinking its from an extremely powerful machine.

I'm pretty sure Kevin Spacey is the villain here. Most of the details that have been revealed have said he is the leader of a Private military contractor that tries to take down the US government. Makes sense with what he is saying in the trailer.

Although the trailer makes it look like you'll be playing as a soldier under him, so that might be cool.
I am completely drunk at the moment, so excuse me if I missed the point, but why did you quote me in your reply?

Or it might be because of all the outrage over "misunderstandings" in capture devices. A la Watchdogs.

Even this doesn't really work, because two of the Russian soldiers you are with die in a semi-scripted event, and will always die. In other words even though the American terrorist is wearing the same clothes, clearly it was an American only operation when there are two dead Russian terrorists nearby.

Wasn't this all prerendered cutscenes, too? Seriously...

Anyway unless they do something that seriously changes something big about the game (which they won't because what I'd really like them to change is either the pace or the gunplay, neither of which could ever happen) I'm just not interested.

It's another CoD with nothing but stunning visuals on a 10+ year old game engine. Probably just more of the same, pass.

I'm ok with them trying to clear that up, but that's something you do with an official statement from the companies. This CoD, from what I've read, says its multi-platform. If its on all major consoles, the Xbox One advert at the beginnings of the commercial seem like a paid advertisement/tooting their own horns in desperation. I'm sure the Xbox One does not suck, but having a major franchise commit all its dlc first to the xbox one and not only its major advertisements REALLY seems like an act of either desperation or Microsoft just funneling money underhanded to Activision.

No the faster, cheaper, and most efficient way to do it is to slap the disclaimer in front of the video.

Well then there's not much I can say because you are damned and determined to find fault with it. I give a reasonable explanation to the disclaimer and now the conversation is about DLC and CoD:AW being multiplatform.

Microsoft have been paying for the early DLC thing for nearly half a decade now (I can't remember whether it began with Black Ops or MW2), considering the fact that Xbox 360 was doing just fine in the 2009/2010 period, I don't see it as desperation, just business as usual. The whole "this was filmed on Xbox One" thing seemed desperate though.

Is it a bad thing that I think this actually looks pretty cool?
Call of Duty has always been able to put out awesome trailers. Black Ops 2 had its awesome, post-Cold War trailer and even MMW3 could get away with its WW3-MM3 advertising schtick, despite it being more of the goddamn same.

Still, as Sledgehammer's first outing, I'll pay attention to this. The concept is actaully really neat, and this could be one studios that tries to do SOMETHING with CoD besides its same tried-and-true format.

Besides... can they do anything WORSE than Ghosts?

It looks promising....
unfortunately, we all know it will not really discuss the question of freedom versus security or the consequences of american foreign policy or what it is people really want in a government, instead playing spacey's character as a one-dimensional villain because he doesn't believe in freedom and democracy and AMURICA. Ending with the part where you shoot him. which will prove he's wrong about democracy, i suppose.

The trailer looks as 'bad action movie trailer' as ever, with COD delving further into the god awful near future nonsense which create an interesting world and ruin it by devolving into 'pew pew you filthy communist/fascist/general typical asshole/badger mauling victim', YET I'm highly tempted by the fact Deep Space Kevin is in there and he looks awesome.
Bash COD all you like but boy can the gimmick like no ones business.
