I don't care at all. I'll pirate it to try out the first mission, but probably won't finish it. If history taught us anything about the CoD games, is that the ones that aren't made by IW suck.

Not surprised if this used the same engine MW2 did.

I'm not turned off by the "Treyarch" label - I'm turned off by fucking "Black Ops" - hope thats a working title.

No one wants to give treyarch a chance. Call of duty world was a great game but it had a high expectation with following MW. If it was called anything else other than call of duty, more people would be interested.

Hope that they have co-op in the campaign like in World at War. That is something that is really lacking in the Modern Warfare games.

Horrible video. Pausing it and looking at some of the 'blink and you'll miss them' screenies is far more interesting.

Didn't realize MW2 was set in Vietnam, guess I really didn't pay attention between all those nukes going off.

Flashback ! The whole interrogation scene reminds me of EA's Black. I think this game will have the same flashback theme. Everyone will hate it , because of controversy. I like  Treyarch games and do not understand the IW lovefast.

Well............ that really made me want to see more!!  However....... we will have to see if the game is any good!  For now we will have to be cautiously optimistic for this game.

I'm a little excited for this game. As long as ''ts fun to play and i'm enjoying it, it's good enough for me.
 
As for a day 1 purchase.? No.  Various factors of verry little info on this game, other big releases for 2k10 and my back-catalouge of unfinished games.

That sound at the end of this video... I know it's supposed to represent electric torture or something, but I've heard it somewhere else... Oh, wait!

It's the flashing MODERN WARFARE 2 logo sound!

 
So Activision is using subliminal tactics to make us love the game already!

Interested! But not a fan of the fact that they used the same "BWEEEWWW" night vision goggle noise as MW2. Surely this game doesn't have to use "Sequel to Modern Warfare 2" as a crutch.

It doesn't matter if it were Treyarch or Infinity Ward, this trailer looked like balls and Call Of Duty's name has been stamped into the ground so many times it made it to Dinosaur Comics.

Looks better than I expected, for all you can tell from a teaser trailer like that, but Treyarch still have to prove they can make a good game so for all the wizz bang it could still play like a dog.  I'll wait for some hands on impressions with this.

People don't 'hate on' them for no good reason at all, they do it because Treyarch have a tendency to make shit Call of Duty games that sell simply because they ride on the success of the, far superior, previous game. Hell, It's your money.

Yeah it does, all CoD games need to use "sequel to call of duty". Thats how they sell the game, they would never do anything less.

I hope they go full on with depictions of controversial tactics that only Black Ops wouldn't be above for. Attention would only help this franchise recoup after IW sea change.

I love the snap judgment.      Treyarch?   Fuck that shit!!!!
 
There really wasn't much to get a feel for in that trailer, Why not wait until you can actually see what the gameplay is like?

Whenever Treyarch are called to attention, they always get such polarising views on them. Personally, I think they're past games were surprisingly pretty good. World at War was quite enjoyable and close to what COD was really about.
 
Glad to see they finally pulled out of WW2 for their COD iteration.

first of all. CODWAW was a good game. sure, treyarch just builds upon infinity ward's work, but they beef it up.  again, this is not IW, so they do have a different philosophy/approach to COD. IW does more story twists with an almost perfect feel for how the guns shoot, TA adds more crazy gratuitous features (for the hell of the fun, such as severed limbs and of course zombies). I like both. IW for a high quality shooter (despite MW2's glitches/bugs) and TA for their insane 'gamey-ness' which is almost like a good B movie. So far, Black Ops looks interesting to me, with that assassin's creed touch and the presence of big boss. lol jk. no for real, it looks interesting enough for me to keep an eye on it. Drag and revive, possibility of improved zombie maps (just a thought, not in the teaser), and using both real history and conspiracy-style fiction in reference to the cold war/espionage stuff and the aftermath of the vietnam war. WHY NOT?
