A "Shanghai surprise" doesn't sound like anything I want a part of.

My expectations are that this will be better than the first one. They nailed the concept perfect with AoT, and now they, hopefully, will make it what it was meant to be.

Looking forward to this I have physically lost count how many times me and my mate have played through the first AOT game on both PS3 and Xbox. I cannot wait till this hits the UK

I feel like intros should try to squeeze out as much excitement as possible out of me or at least give me a good idea of the story.  Can't it's doing either here except in the last few seconds : /   HOWEVER, the game looks pretty awesome, intro or not.

This trailer told me nothing about the game. Except that it's set somewhere, and Rios and Salem are on vacation(?) and then a pretty lady gets hit by a bus.

I liked the first game ... so I really want to like this, too. But the setting is terrible imo and it looks slightly worse than the first game.

the explosions are too fast, they look really bad.  
 
Also, I noticed that because it involves terrorist attacks it can't be set in New York, Madrid or London...

The first game was a pile of human waste! The sequel deserves a rental before making a purchase.

I dunno. I need more convincing than that. This game has to get some great reviews before I buy it.

Most suspenseful and least productive trailer I've ever seen.

On Radar, but Barely. Didn't play the first one. This looks okay, but a lot of games coming around that window. We'll see.

Perhaps it's their "smart" way of saying doing shit as a team.

In general I really hate it when trailers don't tell you what the game is about.  So we have a couple of guys who I assume  were in the first (never played it) who happen to be in Shanghai.  Then explosions happen and a woman gets run over by a truck.  Well folks this sounds pretty compelling to me!
 
I want to like this game, I want to look forward to this game.  I promised a couple friends I'd get this game to play with them but trailers like this really just piss me off.  This isn't Modern Warfare 2 where you've got a big enough fan base to get away with vague trailers, this is to the original game what Assassin's Creed 2 was to its original, a chance at polishing what was a good game at its core but had too many little annoying things that prevented it from being as fun as it should have been... well that's what my friends say at least, I probably should pick up the original and check it out.

And can feel when someone takes a dump on it?

Stop making Army Of Two games, and start making movies! 
The story of the first game was good and if given to a more talented writer I think the games plot would make
for a fantastic movie, and given the direction the game has went they could even make a franchise out of it.

To each, their own. 
I had fun with the first game.  There were a couple annoyances for me, but overall I really enjoyed it.  I'm sure I'll pick this up when I can fit it into my budget.

I replayed the first AoT with my mate about a billion times. Can't wait for this one :D 
 
EDIT: This isn't the real intro! I hope not, cos this looks more like a trailer to me.
