I was going to come in here and post, "Tell me about the part where I should care."

But then I foresaw someone responding with, "Why are you posting if you don't care?"

So I didn't.

Oh hey, Activision blocked it on YouTube, what a surprise. That must be really damn annoying, I wish YouTube was better at dealing with that kind of stuff. Or that Activision was less anal about it. Something!

I bet all the casual CoD players are getting pumped for the new game that they will only play for multiplayer which will have a lifespan of less than 2 months for them then wait until the next one rolls around because they're too crappy to do anything good in the game. The cycle continues.

I just want to know if there's Robits Mode in the Vita version so I know if I should just ignore this Call of Duty cycle.

I would have to imagine they are separating Elite and Season Pass to avoid multiple-tiers of community segregation that happened with Modern Warfare 3, you could possibly argue that Modern Warfare 3 had greater player fall-off than previous entries due to a more complicated DLC rollout plan (that and the age of the core design). Simplifying their DLC back to full-sized Map Packs for everyone makes it simpler and they will probably end up making about as much money with less head-ache for them. I couldn't help but notice that video fails to mention the celebrity hosted shows though, maybe they are dropping those.

Wow hopefully it won't be broken the first month, otherwise it looks pretty good.

It is also smart, as the previous Elite was pretty confusing as hell.

So Activision doesn't want this promotional trailer/featurette to spread on YouTube? Marketing at its finest, I guess...

I'm pretty certain that's not at the direct order of Activision, as YouTube's copyright bots are notorious for tagging copyright infringement erroneously on enthusiast-media/press channels. So before you start putting on your Activision-hate-slinging gloves on, you can probably settle down on this one.

there's stuff inside the video that automatically gets recognized by youtube and blocks it.. download the vid and re-upload it to any youtube account and its instantly blocked

activision wants you to go to their youtube page so they can say "look at us, we got a gaziljon views on this video"

its actually kinda lame.. most videos just say it has 3rd party copyrighted material in it but it doesnt get blocked.. activision is, as far as i know, the only that blocks their videos for other channels

Is this like ironically a premium video? Because I'm pretty sure most of us GB premium members are just about the opposite of the type of person who gives a shit about this.

I still don't understand why YouTube taking it down means this has be marked as a premium video on the site. Also, this is not the first time "Activision" made copyright claims on trailers posted to YouTube from GB. The way YouTube's copyright algorithms or whatever work is hilarious (refer to Will Smith from Tested bitching on their podcast about this issue for more info).

Alright, WHO THE FUCK threw together the visuals for this trailer? It feels like both of my eye-holes are getting fisted by Ali. If I was epileptic, I'd be eating my forearm and shitting blood right now.
