Looks like Modern Warfare alright. That's either a good or bad thing depending on perceptions.

Cod has been declining ever since MW1. 

 Battlefield has been improving ever since BC1.

COD used to be so much better than battlefield, now it seems they are set to trade places.

Two things:

1. Why do I feel like EA must be paying an army of posters to constantly be-little COD while upping BF3 - I wouldn't normally be so paranoid, but the level of fanboy-ism is so high it makes me wonder if it's corporately funded.

2. I'll get both BF3 and MW3 for the same reasons I bought MW2 and BFBC2 - because logically it's not really an either/or choice - I find both games do what they do well - but they offer a completely different experience - COD games tend to play to a faster almost arcade experience, where BF tends to favour patient map movement - plus, vehicles.

This, pretty much the 2nd point... I am gonna get both games.

Am I alone in thinking this looks really bad, graphically? The character models have some nice detail, but everything looks so goddamn muddy. Plus, looks like they stole the dogtags thing from Crysis 2's multiplayer.

I wish they would just do something ... new. I played a ton of MW2 and I prefer the movement and shooting to that of Battlefield, but this is just more of what I've already played to death.

Everything is in 3rd person because, after shooting the trailer in first person, they realized it looks exactly the same as black ops and changed it.

Looks boring as fuck.

That music toward the end was the only thing that excited me about this trailer. However, I'll still probably play the shit out of it.

Hey, it's CoD. Every year I end up getting it, and playing it for like two weeks. Maybe I'll just get Halo Anniversary. I find playing halo a bit more fun. It feels more "pure" to me. CoD has so much shit going on constantly.

The more pixels and texturing they put into the character models, the more dated the maps look graphically. The underlying engine looks like it hasn't changed since, what, CoD4?.

hybrid scope is neat.. perks as killstreaks, interesting.. but mostly what I learned from this trailer... Wearing black with a square top hat makes you pwn as a sniper.. and snipers are like highlander, they can only be killed by other sniper rifles...

I'll give them credit for making a trailer that doesn't look exactly like very other trailer ever made, but no matter how much they edit it this game still just looks like more of the same to me.

Faawk... this looks mad gamey. I was hoping they were going to take the more serious approach and not try to mimic black ops. I was hoping they would make the game more tactical and realistic. I might be the only person who didn't like black ops but shit, the game was just too over the top for me to really get into.

Here's the opposite of what everyone is saying, but most likely what everyone is thinking and probably how most people will act on it's release? 
 
Looks the same? Yeah, it really does. But dude, the Overkill perk is back. Oh man, and there's a map set in modern-day New York city streets. Fucking awesome, I love cityscapes. Fuckin' new perks, too. And new killstreaks. That stealth bomber looked rad! And there's still a Blackbird killstreak equivalent! This... this looks really fun. I bet playing this with my friends will be a blast. They're all going to get it, so I am too because I'm not someone who would upset my friends and be all antisocial because I am going to stick with the shit I post on a gaming forum. God, I can't wait. Time to dominate some players online, again.

Call of Duty: Modern Black Ops.
Unfortunately it looks like they set up perks like they are in Black Ops, which were pretty unbalanced, and the trade off between stopping power and cold blooded as totally ruined in that game. 
Not having high hopes for this considering that it looks a lot like mw2, and I can't believe that they put in that Marley and Griffin remove truck from MW2.

The more killstreaks, the worse this will be, Treyarch had to remove most of the ones from mw2 and it made the multiplayer so much better.

Looks cool. It's funny, I start off at the beginning of each Call of Duty ad campaign firmly set on not buying the newest game, but as we get closer and closer to the release date I find myself becoming more and more enticed to pick it up. I enjoyed Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops, and appears as if there's no reason I shouldn't enjoy this new game. Change is cool and welcome, but it's also fine to see refinements on what already works (i.e. Assassin's Creed, Elder Scrolls, Zelda, etc...).

yea ... this just does not feel like it is that much different. I will prob. buy it still because so many people will, but it will be my console shooter. BF3 is my PC shooter.

Wait... I don't get it. So 18+ people make better montage videos? Though I admit the trailer's boring, the clips and angles are pretty decent. I don't know how GOOD montages are supposed to be like, but this trailer is exactly what it was meant to be.

Nice, they finally brought back blood! Not since WAW have we seen this. In fact, I miss that WAW had the ability to blow off limbs – that was amazing.

While it does look a lot like MW2, the new killstreaks (the explosive decoy supply drop especially) and Sniper Rifles as secondary weapons have me excited. 
 
I didn't play BLOPS last year, and I feel as though I need some progressive first person multiplayer shooting in my life. This will do just fine.

Oh, it's a video for all the wild CoD fanboys who will eat the same shit Activision has thrown for over four years!  Oh, it's also a video for all the hip Battlefield fans to come and start that fucking BF vs. COD flame war again!
 
CoD kids/fanboys and Battlefield hipsters. I don't know who's more fucking annoying.
 
Nice video. Who made this MW2 mod?
