now i know i have posted this a good 4 or 5 month's before it's shipping date, but i just want to take the time to talk about my thoughts of the trailer.  now i'm sure that the developers will beat the alluring moth attracting flame of this game at E3 next month, but the fact is this. the engine they have been using since call of duty 2 is really starting to tire. and i'm sure this game will do the usual Quid Pro Quo by killing off the character(s) your playing as, which leave's you thinking that following that specific characters story is pointless. why build up all of this connection with a guy your playing as and then kill him off. i got frustrated when general Shepherd killed roach from modern warfare 2, and i nearly thought the game was gonna douche me again near the end when soap got pwned. 
 
of course we only got small snippets of gameplay in the trailer, but was it enough to make me salivate with anticipation? 
 
no, it failed to grasp my attention from some points, and we are still in that state of flux of thinking that the worlds enemy is Russia, are we still in some paradox where the Russians like to eat babies or something? i mean, why not have a different enemy like the korea...... the germ...... the itallia...... fuck it..... Russia it is then. i mean the Italians didn't mind giving up in the second world war, what chance do they have in the third?.... not my place to say though. 
 
the only thing that looks interesting is having to fight in countries such as France, Germany and England. i'm willing to guess that the French campaign will have a lot of help from the English, or will have a lot of some form of running away. we also have a large skirmish of new york, which left me thinking. the last time we played as Ramirez in modern warfar 2, you just beaten the Russians out of Washington and there was talk of invading Moscow. so what happened? do the Russians control both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans? cause if the Russians are still kicking ass in america then their counter attack must have went belly up. 
 
we also may have seen what looks like the shadowy figure of ghost (i'm willing to guess there are ghost fanboys already tweeting or facebooking or just damn right ravenously and furiously masturbating about this.) which is fair enough, but ghost was a blank slate of which i had no care for when he got.... ¬_¬..... killed...... heck, they brought back price, why not bring back gaz, you know, the dude which Zakhieve shot in the face. 
 
now i know ranting isn't going to cover the fact that this game is gonna sell like hot cakes and be plotted with the "MOST ANTICIPATED GAME OF THE DECADE" for the third time in a row, but like i said, the developers need to follow the lead of dice, make a new engine for christ sake and shake up the story line a bit more then just killing off a players character, i don't know, launch a nuke at the moon or something. but the fighting in my home country of England will be kind of cool. 
 
i'm telling you, if i see one Russian land in my garden, he's a fucking dead man!

I believe COD4 was a new engine which is way it played so different and started this craze...

i'm afraid not, it's just a heavily modified quake 3 engine which has been in use since call of duty 2.

This game will only be good if Jon St. Jon provides all voices for multiplayer.

@drag: Ahh- so because he's a little daft and nobody read his 'review' assessment, he gets to copy paste into the forums.

In which case- let me the chance to talk about usage.
 
Quid Pro Quo is you do some for me, I do some for you.  What you described as the usual quid pro quo:
killing off the character(s) your playing as, which leave's you thinking that following that specific characters story is pointless. 
 
Is not quid pro quo.  It's something else- please go read what you write before you write it- TWICE.

You are wrong.

They used the same modified Quake3 engine with incremental graphical improvements across all COD games.

@TheVampireBoy: ahh you're british.  that must explain how you can't seem to use the language.  Anyways- you attached it to the forums and it's a verbatim copy of the review thing which you posted a long time ago.  No commentary or anything.  And you think we're stupid?

@TheVampireBoy: so I think he was saying you wrote both things- and are stupid because of that.  That's what I'm saying.  Plus in this blog you can see that you wrote this 2 hours 8 minutes ago- not before e3.  Without knowing you copied this over from a 'review'- let's not talk about how gormless that is for you to do that since you weren't writing a review, but giving demo impressions- how could any of us know you were just duplicating content.  You're so stupid- yet can't understand it, because apparently you can't speak the language your country fucking spawned.

@mfpantst: and what makes you the boss? you seem to think i called what ever nation your from "stupid" when that word isn't even in there. it tires me that there are people like you on this earth. but heck, what ever omnipresent  force cooked you up must have had a sense of humor. then again, nobody probably gives a shit about your opinions, i'm willing to bet that best part of mankind doesn't as well. you know what, i'll go as far as to say that people don't give a shit about my opinions, but this blog sort of contradicts that statement. and yeah, who gives a crap if i just got my old review because i mistakenly posted it on the wrong area and only took me till today that i realized i dun goofed, fact is i don't need some OCD twat telling me this. aint you got dishes to arrange in colour order or something?

@TheVampireBoy: I didn't say I was the boss.  I didn't think you called any nation stupid but you said this thread was full of gormless people- meaning stupid.  I'm taking offense to the fact that a) you can't seem to communicate effectively and b) you have the need to duplicate content on this site and c) you can't see that people think you're stupid because you did b without even making note of it.  And finally d) because it's NOT FUCKING A REVIEW.  have you played the retail game?  Have you even played the game or just watched the fucking demo and posted your opinions.   
 
Ironically I agree 100% with your opinions- it's your failure to communcate effectively that ultimately has me angry and the fact that once someone posted "hey- it seems the timing of your statements is fucked" the first thing you didn't say "oh- yeah, here's why" or edit your blog- just makes you look stupid.  And yes I'm making fun of you for using british words- even moreso now since you didn't even seem to understand the usage of your own fucking words.

@mfpantst: and i'll say it again, 4 weeks ago when the original post was put i had a friend tell me i put it up in the wrong spot, he told me i should have put it up on my blog area. so now it up on my blog area. and the fact that your taking offence must say something about where your from,
This is all I didn't see anywhere in your OP.  That is all.  Re-reading your post- you aren't "saying it again" you are saying it for the first time in this thread.  That's my point- all the rest (making fun of your usage, using stupid in place of gormless, making fun of how you used quid pro quo wrong in your blog) was being pissed because you simply did not put a little piece in your blog saying what you just said.  I'll leave you alone then.
