Nice to see the GBA still getting some new games. I also look forward Frank Underwood's monologues about power and/or "Doing it for the power."

All of the usual suspects for a Call of Duty game are present.

In Call of Duty, every time is a time to kill.

You know, I, for once, embrace the shift in tone this trailer seems to point out.

Call of Duty is better when he tries to be Michael Bay (tongue in cheek dumb) than Aaron Sorkin (pseudopolitical).

Faces still look weird as others have mentioned. It's still Call of Duty. Not interested. I will just keep watching House of Cards thank you very much. :-)

I absolutely love that it opens with "Hey, this was recorded off an Xbox One" and then you watch it, lips pursed and say "Yeah. At least they're being honest."

Here are the separate comments I want to make on this video:

Did they really need his character to look exactly like Kevin Spacey himself?

Wow the Iraq war critique in the dialogue. So profound. Much story.

Call of Duty: Combat Evolved

Weren't the last two Call of Duty games already set in the future with future technology and stuff?

I'm one of those people who plays CoD games for the campaign, and sometimes, they're awesome. Super entertaining action blockbusters in game form, and done well. Sometimes, not so much. Hopefully, they try some new stuff and pull it off with this one.

Also, Kevin Spacey is awesome.

I thought Frank Underwood was a Killzone man...

Eh he played COD in the first season.

Really I remember it being killzone?

It was Call of Duty IIRC. Can't remember the exact episode from the first season though but I know he was using a PS3 controller so that's why you might have remembered it being Killzone but what was showing up on screen was different but I could be wrong though! It might have been Killzone after all hahaha!

It's a shame that the facial animations are bad considering other games did a fantastic job in that field, like Infamous: SS, The Last of Us or Battlefield 4.

Stll waiting for sarcastic remarks to Nintendo game but no one in the games media has balls, so ill retort:

Looks like we'll being saving princess peach... again.

Looks like we'll be driving along rainbow road...again.

Looks like everything they have done from the n64 system....again.

Uh, you made your courageous stand against the cowardly games media on the wrong page, dude.

I think this series still has a lot of legs, despite some people complaining about it going on to long. I mean, have you seen how much this trailer blew up on the web today? The thing was everywhere, as was that House of CoDs joke.

In a way, this series is a bit like WoW. Somehow, it just keeps going with great numbers.

Well this looks stupidly dumb and for that I shall give it a rent

I'll rent it for three days, plow through the single player in one day and enjoy the over the top futuristic storyline with lasers n shit. Then I'll play the multiplayer for 2 days and go "yep, that's COD multiplayer alright"

Why pay $60 for the COD experience when you could pay $6 at a redbox?

For what it's worth though I actually really do still enjoy COD's single player campaigns...it's like that dumb blockbuster action movie hit of the summer...except in video game form...and not in the summer

EDIT: Also, DAT KEVIN SPACEY!

This is what Battlefield should've been.

Not a bad showing considering this is Sledgehammer's first proper release.

Muddy textures, decent lighting, robotic animations, a fair amount of high poly stuff on the screen, all delivered in supersonic 30fps! Kevin Fucking Spacey!! 'MURICA!!!

I do actually want to play this, on PC that is. But I remember a time when Call of Duty on 360 blew my brains out. It looked so good and ran so smooth, what the fuck happened.

I checked out of COD long after Modern Warfare 2, but this looks potentially interesting to me. The name sounds like a F2P game though.

It's actually a very effective trailer. Spacey's monologue is well written. And it looks like they are trying to make some evolutionary changes to the gameplay. I may be interested in this, E3 will surely be the deciding factor.

Hey! Have some respect, Advanced Warfighter was never free to play, they copied a proper pay to play game title here.

They have the best possible solution for a mech tank in there.

Spider legs, with tank treads on them. So it rides like a tank but can walk over rough terrain like a mech.

That is *surprisingly* awful facial animation. They have Kevin Spacey ffs, and they didn't pay him the courtesy of actually animating his face?
