Can't wait.

Haven't bought a Cod in awhile, this will change that.

I'll be real fucking bummed if they actually still use tomahawks in 2025.

And not even some crazy laser subsonic tomahawks. Just tomahawks. Black and slightly futuristic tomahawks.

Activision are so fucking stupid. They block this video for copyright on the GB Youtube channel.

I'm so excited, but I cant express how much i want this game to be like black ops and not MW3. I felt like that a 3 yr old gently throwing a soft buttered bread roll could instantly kill me in MW3 whereas in black ops I felt that i had just a few more seconds to react! it was also harder to kill in black ops, which i liked. Then again this impression could be entirely created in my head, in which case it'll be great!

I really don't like the direction they took. Another Cold War game in the late 80s would have been so much cooler.

Still looks like crap and sounds like crap, it's Treyarch alright. Seems like they still can't take advantage of what year they are set in either considering the weapons look straight out of 2142.

I wish more people cared about the audio in video games. The sound design hasn't changed one iota since CoD1. Everything sounds just so flat and lifeless. It's just terrible :\

I actually really like Treyarch. They've been actively trying to shake things up with COD and this looks different and new enough to justify a buy. I only wish we could see what they're capable of without Activision looking over their shoulder. Perhaps Treyarch will eventually follow Infinity Ward into independence.

The way the guy at 1:15 starts playing until the end is the exact reason why I no longer enjoy CoD.

@Shisnopi:

Really I thought everything looked WAY faster than anything I'm used to in Call of Duty.

Black Ops is the only modern CoD game I liked for whatever reason and this looks like I might actually enjoy the sequel as well. Seems like Trayarch is the only company working on these games that actually gives a shit and tries to do some new stuff with the series.

Well campers will be happy, they can deploy a mech and safely sit in their corner untouched.

Also I think they showed quickscoping in that video too, so thats awesome! Can't wait to get quickscopped again!

I was hoping that Blops2 would be as great as blops1 but this looks like a killstreak spamfest, more silly gadgets than ghostrecon online!

Wow, what did they do to the engine?

It looks 5x smoother than the other games, which already look great at a solid 60fps

For all the people who dont like CoD anymore, there seems to be a lot of people with an opinion of COD... seems funny.

Looks smooth and I'm down for another round. I had a ton of fun in BLOPS, I expect BLOPS 2 to be just as good.

I don't get why people in the comments are saying they'll buy it when they sound unsure after not liking the previous games. If you're unsure, don't buy it, y'all.

I;m not excited, but it's the first COD game I have even given a second look in a loooong time. I hope it turns out well, the frame rate looks smooth as hell, like, reeeeal smooth

The song is The Crystal Method feat. The Heavy - Play For Real. The Dirtyphonics Remix was in the Shootmania trailer.

What the actual fuck? This is the first time I'm interested in COD since MW2.

Great job, Treyarch.

What was up with showing the competitive match stuff right at the end? I mean, ok. Sure, why not. But there was like no context for it, at all (to me anyway). I don't even know when it's from (E3? CC?)!

Didn't the announcer mention multi-team TDM? As in more than two?

There's just so much stuff going on that it's hard to really appreciate any of it.

I think the series needs a new engine though.

I appreciate that they rendered it at 60fps.

The game looks nice, admittedly.

I've been fairly down on the franchise for awhile. I've bought all of them and my play time has severely decreased. I think in MW3 I played a total of 5 matches online. Yet there is something about this game that has me reinvigorated. The core gameplay for the franchise has always been solid. Sure it's an arcade shooter and shouldn't be taken as a military simulator, but it does what it sets out to do and does it well. The problem is the yearly iterations with almost no discernible difference. This seems to be adding many new elements that, in the very least, will give a fresh take on the series and possibly give an overhaul to the stale multiplayer. That's why I have hope.

Boring COD rubbish. They seem to be trying to hard and failing at what they're trying to achieve. I'll stick to BF3 and other worthwhile games.
