Video just went live from the countdown timer off the site. Looks really cool, but I'm not sure to think of what it is or what this means at all. It appears to be a fan film....but an extremely well done one at that. The team behind this certainly knows how to market a website too - it seems like a good portion of the internet was expecting a MW3 announcement at GDC.

Yeah, it's pretty crazy for a fan project. I wonder if they worked things out with Activision though. Seems like they could run into a lot of trouble otherwise.

From Wikipedia- 
An Activision spokesperson has denied that a teaser website, 'http://findmakarov.com ', which made gaming news sites in late February 2011, is related to the game. "There seems to be a great deal of speculation about the next Call of Duty project. Let me be clear that we are not revealing yet. Anything indicating otherwise is a hoax."

I would be more interested if the whole thing wasn't filmed from first person perspective.  The quality is pretty amazing though.

Captain Price sounds fucking terrible. The explosions all look pretty tacky as well, though that's to be expected as CG explosions are a bitch on a low budget.
 
Also, huge MW2 spoilers :D

I guess technically it was really well-done, but it was just like, really bad cliche action scenes and also the narrator won't stop fucking saying "Like they always say!"
 
Also wow at like 1:33 they do a great job making you feel the impact of that guy being hit in the face with that music.

That looked pretty okay I guess, but it's just asking to be shut down all they did was steal moments from the game and put them in live action. Zero originality, of course that's what CoD is all about I suppose...so good for them they will fit right in.

That's probably because they took those scenes word for word and scene for scene from the games.. which are really bad cliche action scenes.

It's a hoax and the guys who created it are kind of douches. Bets on Activision sewing ?

If every company went after people using their music/movie scenes/games on YouTube, there would be like 10 videos left on that site. I don't think Activison is going to do anything, since its a fake trailer and not going to be made for profit.

They might have a problem with them trying to continue the story though. 
 
Activision is weird like that sometimes.

I'd bet money against Activision suing. This is the best kind of advertisement: free. You guys all say Bobby Kotick loves his money so much, well if more people advertise MW like this (for free), he'll be giddy in his pants because he won't have to waste a dime, and can put more into his Giza Pyramid of $100s, or whatever the new conspiracy is.
