I've already made it clear I'm not even going to play the game, so I must ask this. 
 
Is this series going to be another 24? You know, the next game in the series will always try to raise the stakes, and at a certain point you've got the nuclear... oh wait it already did. This is slowly, wait did I mean slowly I meant quickly, turning into an action movie. I don't see the point of shit blowing up in space.

I can live without MW2, I get the feeling that IW may have jumped the shark a wee bit going by their viral antics of late. Also Hip Hop and Macho War/Guns/Explosions is somewhat cliched no? I am sure the single player campaign will be good but well its just another FPS to me.

Crappy song, but amazing trailer. I feel sorry for overzealous PC gamers who aren't buying this. Who am I kidding? I don't care, day one purchase.

Can Call of Duty: Future Warfare be far behind?  This is Activision we're talking about here after all.

Me thinks they should have gone with Roger Alan Wade's " The B.B. Gun Song " instead of that damn yelling crap from the great M&M's..  Word up yo......  GOD I HATE RAP...

I wouldn't say cliched. Why? I've NEVER seen it happen before. The closest to it would be a 50 Cent trailer. 
 
 
Although the use of Eminem I like because I've quite literally taken off my iPod, on which I happened to be listening to Eminem on.

I duuno what to think.  This is actually the first trailer I have watched for the game just because I don't want to really spoil it any when I first open it up.  I want to see everything for the first time.
 
Anyone else think they almost have some arrogance to them now?  I am not trying to be a jerk, but it just seems that they have gone over the top with advertising almost to the point of, "make sure you pick up 3-4 copies of the game because everyone in your family and the dog will want to play this game".  Plus it almost seems to have kind of gotten really "fratboy-ish", just watching that Wal-Mart commercial a few days back (albeit, the Russians Snowmobile part was prety funny)

I'm going to guess it's the introduction or an opening cinematic. Unless you actually get launched into space Moonraker-style. Or maybe it will happen sometime in the middle of the game? Damn, now I'm wondering about it too.

my guess for the space scene is your an astronaut working on a us spy satelite when suddenly a ruskie missile takes it out, i guess it'll be like the execution scene like in the first MW. trailer is hawt.
 
not gonna buy it though, out of spite for what they're doing on the pc.

Guys, its not a new Eminem song, it's pretty damn old. It's called 'til I collapse if you're interested.
 
I thought they had dropped the CoD name entirely for this, that's the first time I've seen it in the logo =/

Thats a remix of an old song, actually, off The Eminem Show.
 
As for the trailer.... I got chills. Seriously. I was blown away by the scenes of what looks like suburban America burning... You think dedicated server controversy was bad? Wait until this game comes out.
