This is funny as a parody of a video Activision would make if they were trying to appeal as much as possible to COD's core audience.
 
I'm just going to choose to believe that they intended it that way.

I liked the trailer. It was funny! So funny to read all these comments from people that hate COD because it became very mainstream, hahaha.

Yeah remember when CoD was like this little underground game (???) .... it was always mainstream, it just kept getting bigger. 
 
Bungie had the good graces to not charge us for this. But to be fair, CoD is a small series that needs our help to survive... c'mon guys! Lets open our wallets and our hearts and send these poor souls some more fucking money. 
 
/sigh 
 
stat tracking ... for money .... really? .... fuck me. I know not everyone that plays CoD is a brain dead idiot, but those that are (c'mon, you know the ones I mean, 95% of the douche bags on there) probs won't pay for this shit anyway. It's for a small percentage of obsessive gamers... the kind that die in gaming cafes and live on Doritos

Am I ... am I getting old?  I genuinely enjoyed the video, found it amusing, and hadn't heard about any of the memes it referenced.  Just to clarify, I'm not that into CoD and would never pay for a service because frankly who gives a fuck about this stuff.  I just liked the trailer. 
 
Fuck.

"Oh hey, I'm a bro just like you. And just for bro to bro talk, you should buy this obsolete tracking system for CoD, the broest game for bros. Activision deserves the money with all the hard work on the original stuff they put into their games, you know. You might as well get cake, but remember that the cake is a lie! LOL NYANNYAN DOUBLE RAINBOW BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE! xD"
 
Ugh. And you know they're going to be paying sites like Machinima and G4 to say something like this, also.

@MisterChief: Pretty much, oh and Bungie.net WITH adverstising.And really weird at that.Do they think people would get excited by watching a video about it?All they had to do was put out the information.Well at least it is humorous that they are trying to catch up to the competition.SPEC OPS mode(GOW'S horde mode) Theather mode(ALA Halo) and now a stat tracker(Also ALA Halo)

I can't imagine caring enough about any game, much less Call of Duty, to pay someone to maybe make me better at it.

I think all CoD fans (which I am not) should get together and NOT BUY THIS in droves.
 
I say make it a complete and total failure.
 
Blast a crater in their financial memory so deep, no company will come within a thousand klicks of this idea ever again.

Man, it's hard to reconcile the internet's massive Call of Duty hate-boner with the fact that this video was completely inoffensive stupidity. That said, I'm not paying for this.
