Call of Duty: Black Ops II's Villain Looks Like the Most Interesting Man In the World

Trent Reznor and David S. Goyer, eh? I'm all in.

"He's like a celebrity now..."

Totally.

lookit dat beard

Ass

Yay?

I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis

Dos Equis is going to have a monopoly on the beer market!

Wait it's set in 2025 and Youtube still has the same layout? LOL.

I always get all excited by these trailers and then there's a "preorder now for phat lewts" at the end and I'm like thanks Activision, I almost forgot you guys were assholes.

this has been blocked by activison on giantbomb's youtube page haha

This video was blocked by Activision on their Youtube channel HAHAHA

cool movie bro.

Too many cooks in the kitchen.

Also, 60fps and no motion blur makes cinematics look horrible.

That is pretty fucking funny.

That engine is old as fuck

I like how Activision got the trailer taken down on the Giantbomb Youtube page.

There's some major 'soap opera effect' going on in those cutscenes. Just because you can render at 60 doesn't always mean you should.

Also, you can always spot an Alex deck from a mile away.

A lot of trailers now have that LOUD BANG repeat through the whole trailer.

"This video contains content from Activision Games Inc, who has blocked it on copyright grounds." is the best thing ever. How dares Giant Bomb help promote the game on their Youtube channel! Damn game site pirates!

It does seem stupid, but it probably makes more exposure sense not to split up views in order to rank up their single YouTube video and increase exposure.

Am I the only one who thinks 60 fps trailers look fucking weird?

Your complaint reminds me of this. http://mashable.com/2012/04/28/the-hobbit-2/

David S Goyer's only good work was on the Dark Knight series, everything else he has done has been crap. And I don't expect this to be good at all.

Tony Todd looks horrible in this too.

Edit: Wait Duke Nukem is in the game if I preorder?

Is it just me or does that guy look alot like Viktor Reznov?

While that makes some sense, you would expect Activision to add a kind of note, warning or something like it when submitting this video to the site to be posted.

Showing an afro-american dude and then the sentence "the future is black" is an interesting choice. :)

I see Captain Darrow but I don't see Captain Frye

Wait, when the fuck did Trent Reznor sign on to compose music for Black Ops II of all things?!

I never thought Call of Duty will bring me back for another year....

I can't get over how outdated the models look.

No. Look again.

Damnit this actually looks interesting.

Happy I managed to avoid MW3 though.

lol this got pulled off Youtube by Activision.

From David S Goyer, the guy who got a writing credit on The Dark Knight but didn't actually develop the plot or write the script and a musician who will be providing the soundtrack. Oh, I'm excited now.

I want to be excited about David S. Goyer being involved in this, but didn't Paul Haggis have a writing credit in Modern Warfare 3? I'm not so sure having a big name screenwriter working on your video game is going to necessarily make the story better. I do like how that character in the trailer looks exactly like Tony Todd though ( I assume he's the voice actor).

WARFACE

@TMThomsen: Pretty much the same

I'LL TAKE PLEASURE IN GUTTING YOU. BOY.

@CarpetRemnant: Wrong character, that was the dude from The Practice.

Goyer was also credited in the first Black Ops as a consultant writer.

He is only doing the main theme. Jack Wall from Mass Effect 1 and 2 is doing the actual soundtrack for the game

Lol activison.

-_-

Anyone know why this was blocked by Activision on the GB YouTube account?

Hi we're Activision, we release new trailers then block them. Idiots

Was this under embargo or something? Why did Activision block the video on YouTube?

"Brilliant Visuals..." - Forbes

Very convincing.
