New Trailer With A Scene In Space!
Eminem? Space? WTF is going on?!
However, I will say this: that game looks fucking gorgeous...and it's doing the one thing I've wanted to see in a game for a while - bringing the war to American soil. That felt very fresh.
Still, the feature sets will keep me relatively disinterested. = /

ooo, is this thread gonna turn into a rant about how IW is screwing up somehow and not being themselves? because if so, i wanna join!!
seriously people, play your own music during the trailer like I did ;]

They have Hans Zimmer doing the soundtrack and yet they are selling the game with Eminem...
As for the space part

Also, I think that, were you to have access to the demographics he sells to, that would be right. No "ghetto" (that term is such bullshit) people I know listen to Eminem, so I'm just pulling from the only data I have available, and I'd say first hand experience (however limited) trumps random stereotypes.
Either way, it matters not at all; may we leave this unpleasantness behind us.

Oh God..... fuck the multiplayer, I'm playing the campaign first!
I hate Eminem, but I actually thought it went well with the video for some strange reason.
Also, it seems you get to shoot up the World War II memorial from a helicopter because there are baddies there. Kinda freaks me out, because I was just there the other day...
That trailer represents both what I like and what worries me about MW2.
Sweet gameplay and shooting, and a fun feel? Check.
The whole "badass rap vibe" - frat-boy bliss? ...Sadly, check.
" WHAT THE FUCK?!?!

i couldnt give two shits about the "amazing story" in these games. first mw was ridiculous and so will this one. i play it for the gameplay, not the retarded story.

Well, the music reception so far has been pretty positive in the video comments... does that mean everyone else on GiantBomb is an idiot?" @Meteora said:

I don't mind the music. Its tone works effectively. It could have been far worse. (see: Dragon Age w/ Marilyn Manson)
" Pot leafs and joints as icons? Eminem on the trailer? I think it's a bit more than obvious now who IW is selling this game to: idiots. "I resent that. I smoke pot, do not enjoy Eminem, and am not an idiot. I'm exactly the same as you, except that perhaps you don't smoke. The weed references in this game are the least of its problems.
I don't mind the music. Its tone works effectively. It could have been far worse. (see: Dragon Age w/ Marilyn Manson)Good point, those trailers were far far worse, and space battles > gore for gore sake, yet you don't hear people complaining about the themes in that game. Reason? The whining has carried over from other issues in the case of MW2.

" The music was uncalled for. >_> But pretty nice trailer anyways... Now I gotta update my music video for MW2 with the new video clips. I guess that's good. "The music from the previous trailers had a greater effect and feeling.
I wonder how that space part of the game could be at ALL fun.. what they show in the trailer just looks like a cutscene, as does most of the stuff going on in the trailer. Who knows though, maybe they'll actually surprise us this time.
My guess on the space scene is that you are sent up into space in order to activate or deactivate some kind of space-based weaponry. And when you get there, shit goes wrong.. so the actual interaction in this part of the game will probably just be moving around and looking at the awesome graphics.. who knows though, lets wait and see.
The space idea seems cool, at least its different.. what would you prefer.. more of the same boring shit? I'd rather see a game where you shoot eyeballs as bullets, and moving around the world is done by floating around on a cloud...AT LEAST it would be something different and interesting, not like the usual crap you see today.
I'm glad they're doing something a bit different with this series. After the last one it seems like they are just taking this game in a more action-packed blockbuster movie ride direction, like Uncharted 2 did.. I like it. All of the different settings in this game is the biggest thing drawing me to it at the moment.

"i have a feeling the space mission won't actually be one of the main characters. My guess is it's kinda like the execution mission from COD 4, you don't really have much control and your playing as a character for one level.
That space thing looks so good. I feel though at this point, I'm so fucking into the idea of this game that it's going to let me down by only being game of the year. Usually I don't buy into hype but nor even Eminem on a trailer can put me off.
