F*CK the Unreal Engine. I'm gonna pirate that shit just to see how easy it is to make a GOW clone.

Best trailer of the VGA.  Based on the trailer it looks like a sci-modern shooter with truly amazing animation and an interesting story/setting. The worst case scenario is that it turns into a gears clone but with better writing and characters.
 
Consider me on the bandwagon.

I have to say I wasn't expecting to see something awesome when I watched this, looks pretty sick LOVE the use of the sand, geometry deformation and sand storms? This looks promising, plus the graphics are Sweeeet.

The quote reminds me more of the Seinfeld episode that parodied that same scene from Apocalypse Now from when Peterman went crazy

Looks good, it also happens to be the game Greg Kasavin is working on at 2K, but its looking pretty interesting, its been awhile since we've seen a decent looking 3rd person shooter.

Isn't this set in Dubai? If yes then why is there a US flag. Or was that just a rumour?

Best. Subtitles. Ever. 
 
Combat looks iffy, but if that voice-over dude (i.e. the story) is as interesting as it seems, this could be one helluva game.

Posting the flag upside-down is a real practice.  It's used to signal that a post/vessel is in distress.
 
As for the game, it looks interesting, but it has got its work cut out for it overcoming the mediocrity of the franchise.  Spec-Ops has always been a third-string series that was bargain-bin fodder.
 
The story sounds like a modern day Apocalypse Now, with you tasked with taking out an out of control C.O. that's gone to extremes to get the job done.  The location is Saudi Arabia I believe.

This game looks very interesting. 
 
For those of you who don't get the tag line it's from Apocalypse Now which had simillar themes. 
 
My god if this even tries to narratively attempt to be Apocalypse now or Heart of Darkness it could be really good.

I don't think the game will be particularly special, but this trailer is awesome. I love the Björk song, and the stupid voice-over.
