TNT Knows Drama, Basketball, and Modern Warfare 2 Teasers

Well, that's a weird place to show off the first Modern Warfare 2 footage.

When I turn on TNT, it's because they're showing six straight hours of Law & Order, preferably the Jerry Orbach stuff. That's the good stuff. But apparently they also show basketball? Anyway, for some reason Activision has decided to show off a little Modern Warfare 2 during TNT's coverage of the NBA finals. Specifically, it's going to run on May 24 during the Eastern Conference Finals.

Destructoid posted the following teaser video for the upcoming teaser video:

  


Maybe Activision saw the Nate Robinson Call of Duty salute he pulled back in January and saw synergy written all over it?

I should try these COD games.  I hear they're good.

Do be aware that CoD 1,2, and 4 are the only ones you need play. And MW2 has dropped the Call of Duty name.

Alexander, thanks for the HD quality teaser.

I don't think any of you have mentioned this yet so...

Why no love for Kobe or Yao from Activision?  Eastern Conference Finals?  No respect for the West?  Dude, that ain't kosher.

What is it with companies advertising their games on TV half a year before they come out? It's the most bizarre marketing strategy, but ubisoft have adopted it too. They're showing short, 2 seccond Assassin's Creed 2 ads in which "Assassin's Creed II" flashes up on the screen, followed by "www.assassinscreed.com". It lasts all of 2 seconds. Blink and you'll miss it:

Can't wait for the upcoming teaser.

Not sure how the underwater gameplay will work out though.

I don't really understand why everyone is like "ZOMG looks so awesome" -- it shows nothing; and what it does show is certainly not spectacular by any means.

I'm guessing you're purely basing this off love for CoD4 and Infinity Ward.

^It's called hype, that's why we're all excited for this. Besides the previous trailer didn't show any actual gameplay footage, this one shows at least a bit (depends on how you define gameplay footage).

I hope there's an underwater SCUBA fight with spear guns.

Wait so one thing I gathered from this is that we'll drive snow mobiles, in first person, firing a gun? Does a game need anything more?!?!

Which proves that the game could be a spiritual sequel to Nintendogs and all you hypocrites would still go apeshit over it.

I refuse to claim this is awesome until they show something that actually is, you know, awesome. Which this teaser trailer is NOT!

We're going on the fact that everything the Infinity Ward team has produced has been first person shooter nirvana. We are not going purely on the trailer. This is not a successor to Nintendogs, this is a sequel to Call of Duty 4 - one of the best first person shooters of all time. If this was a completely unrelated game, there wouldn't be so much excitement. I hope you get it now :)

Well this is EXTREMELY short, but it made me even more excited about it. It looks like it is going to be great.

But Alexander - the teaser trailer is garbage. Just look at it for what it is a moment. It looks TERRIBLE.

Forget this is the sequel to CoD4. If this was any other game it would have been ripped to shreds by now.

I'm not saying it reflects the product, I'm just saying, this does not look "awesome" like everyone is flipping out and fighting to be the first to say.

It's a terrible teaser. They would have done better flashing up the logo and a date.

Everybody's doing backflips over FPS snowmobile action. Well Battlefield 2142 had such, plus a few extra twists: they hover, strafe, spin, have a rechargeable boost, and a place on the back for a person to stand and fire a turret with explosive shells.

From this it is obvious, cool vehicles don't make the game sell. The name does.

I guess since Battlefield has gone small scale and since CoD has aped most of BFs advancements, CoD is the way of the future once they increase map size to satisfy all those will have played MAG (and think it is interesting but hate the cramped nature of the maps). Once CoD gets vehicles online, it will grow from there.
