I don't even know what to say about this. I think Treyarch has done some great stuff in the past, but what the fuck? When did Call of Duty go from being an intense FPS -- that was at least grounded in real life -- to this over the top Syfy Channel bullshit? I have nothing against this type of shit, but the Call of Duty series has gone completely out of control.

@Atlantus_Air: I was thinking it sounded more like G-Man. I never thought Dr. Breen or G-Man would betray Half-Life like this! *sob*

I'm really surprised how many people are jumping to science fiction conclusions with this. Maybe I'm missing something, but all the equipment in the main room doesn't look all that high-tech to me, and I all they really say happens is applying volts to a dude from a guy with a slight, indiscernible accent. How did we jump to an Animus?

jump aboard the hatewagon! cap. the internet. whatever happened to giving a game a chance other than shitting on the studio developing it with no actual facts to back up your claim of "pass treyarch's making" or "the games shit" or my favorite "the only thing they did right was zombies" yeah and what game had more bang for your buck dlc included yeah thats right w@w,  mw 1 & 2 will NEVER come close.

Ah, the annual November cash in. Be interesting to see how this does compared to an Infinity Ward game. Over-saturation is a concept Activation doesn't seem to understand.

This seems inviting.  I have always liked the way Treyarch stylises their games.

Okay, so here's what I've learned about the game so far (Spoilers):
 
 You are an exVietnam era special forces guy who was brought back from a coma by an evil corporation bent on discovering the secrets of your lineage of Tier one operators, you initially work for them, but then break out, having discovered a conspiracy about the Knights Templar.  You then assemble a rag-tag team of oil-riggers who steal an SR-71 blackbird and fly it into South America, where you proceed to turn on your aimbots and fire noob-tubes out of the windows, killing all of the corrupt US officials working for Saddam Hussein.
 
 However, in your absence, Russia invaded.  So you have to fly back to the US, where you meet with the cast of Lost to develope a cannon that shoots money and strippers. The game then becomes a top-down 4 player coop RPG. You have to travel around the world to collect 8 crystals that are part of a secret Nazi conspiracy to kill JFK.
 
Then you travel to Russia where you have a quick-time event level (That's: the entire level is one quick-time sequence) where you jump a 500 foot casam, heatshotting the Russian Prime Minister with your golden chrome Desert Eagle .50 cal. Then you wake up and it was all a dream.

It's a prequel set before the events in Modern Warfare 1.
 
It's Captain Price's SAS Jungler Adventure.

treyarch lol... cod3 and waw sucked so bad.  
 
silly publishers using multiple, simultaneous, separate development teams to churn out more games under the same franchise... and making money off the original developer's success.  
 
different developers =/= sequels w/o same praise as original. separate development teams do not deserve to take credit for things they didn't work on.  shame on activision for riding on IW success.

@swat200:  Hey, it doesn't even matter if they're zombies anyway.  Not when the player character is WOLVERINE!
 
P.S.> This is why teaser trailers are a bad idea.  Because the real game will never be as good as Wolverine meets Armageddon meets just about everything else.

Treyarch is getting off WWII and going into Vietnam and the Cold War, better sooner then later.

Can't wait. I gotta say I enjoyed WaW I lot more than MW2 and   Treyarch gives the pc community a lot more love than IW.

@President_Barackbar:  No, TurboMan's right.  World at War was pretty bad.  Infinity Ward has always made the better CoD game (with good reason); with the exception of Modern Warfare 2 (which was a horrible flaming nasty shit storm on the PC).

I think the Call of Duty franchise should be retired for a while. It's all starting to look the same.
