So what do you guys think? Too futuristic in my opinion. I hope I can resist buying it as we all know how hard that is with COD. But hey the graphics are a bit better........ a bit.

Meh, Should have called it MW Future Ops. The horse bit should prove funny.

Yeah..... that was a little strange.

Not worth it IMO...
My prediction if i bought it: I'm just gonna get all annoyed at it and go and play Halo instead...
So yeah, not worth it.

Please tell me this is some sort of joke... this looks terrible...

I'm actually interested in a Call of Duty game for the first time in a long time.

There is hardly anyone exploring the "near future" style that we're seeing here, especially not with vehicles and the like. You give me a level where I get to drive a small mech with miniguns?

You've successfully gotten my interest Treyarch. Well played.

Im actually a bit neutral about this. True, most of the CODs have sucked to me. But I like sci fi. Im wary to waste my money on this though. I did that with Black Ops 1 and Im afraid to make the same mistake.

I'll definitely be waiting a few months for solid reviews and game play footage before i make my final decision, Im not liking it so far though...

Meh the mech's and flyers look like something straight out of the command and conquer tiberium series. Personally I would like to see this series of games end.

QFT.

Albiet, I am in no way, nor do I consider myself, a Call of Duty fan, I have found the games that have been created by Treyarch have been simply more innovative, imaginative and simply just "more fun" in relation to the Infinity Ward alternatives. Think about it. While, Infinity Ward tends to stick with the generic "shooter" formula (lets be honest, the first Modern Warfare was the only good thing to come out of the series), Treyarch, upon multiple instances, has provided an innovative and/or imaginative aspect to it's products; with World at War you had the, IMO, excellent story, increase of "realistic" gore and infamous zombie modes, Black Ops you had the further excellent story, "code breaking" and further additions to zombie mode and Black Ops 2 appears to further up the metaphorical ante by introducing a futuristic setting, weapons and plot which, no doubt, will be phenomenal. Even the ill-recieved Call of Duty 3, IMO, was innovative, as the campaign introduced the inclusion of two forces which aren't normally presented within video games regarding WWII: of course I mean the Canadian and Polish campaigns.

All in all, I'm quite distraught that many people give Treyarch a bad reputation despite having made countless innovations which have no doubt occupied many hours of your lives.

In fact, personally, I can't wait until this game comes out, so I can disintegrate some zombie-alien hybrids with my walking mini-gun mech.

And guys come on. Hearing James C. Burns/Frank Woods in the trailer was awesome. No?

I like Treyarch..... The games they made were very good. I just dont like the look of this one. I am playing the first Black Ops campaign right now and am enjoying the story very much.

I loved Black Ops, much more so then MW3... So i will definietly be waiting in line for this opening day! Treyarch has been one of my favorites

Same here, I love the Treyarch COD's But.. somethings going against the grain on this one

Skeptical to say the least, much like Black Ops which oddly enough I really enjoyed.

Every CoD is hit or miss with me on the MP aspect as thats where the focus is.

CoD4 - Miss, I sucked big style and helicopters didn't help.
MW2 - Pretty awesome I thought. I actually done well at sniping and occasionally runnin and gunnin.
BLOPs - Loved me some MP, I destroyed in certain games.
MW3 - Mega Miss, A game that caused you to break a controller is not worth playing, and I havnt since.

So, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, but a COD game?

Seriously, I just watched the reveal trailer on TV. I thought some of the scenes they showed were literally parts Deus Ex.

Those hovercraft are almost identical, the mechs, the color palette in the city.

I mean, I love the setting and idea. I'll probably buy it because I love near-future games like Deus Ex...but this is pretty pathetic that they couldn't even figure out different vehicle designs.

Well the first one gave me a headache between every mission with its epileptic brain hemorrhage inducing lightshow.

But this one... not sure. The trailer doesn't speak to me, or rather it does and the guy sounds way overdramatic in a batman sort of way.

However at least they seem to be innovating, you can say that other games have done the near future before (All the flame war veterans say 2142) but for a call of duty game this is a huge step forward.

One would assume from your sig that you like Batman...

I for one say not futuristic enough!

Jokes aside, it looks more interesting than the first black ops, easily.

I played CoDMWSAE4.51, or whatever, and it was ok.

Went throught Battlefront 3's campaign, ok.

Now, this? I want this. Treyarch always goes in the opposite direction from Infinity Ward. IW gives us super-ultra seriousness with a side-order of grim, Treyarch hands us a platter of zombie-nazi, flamethrower-shotgun, futuristic-warfare-from-horseback in return.

There is a certain amount of joy that comes with absurdity.

I mean, JFK as a zombie hunter? AWESOME.

That was the ONLY good part of that game.

I'm pretty happy with absurdity.

I'm tired of the ultra-reaslistic, 'everything's brown with a touch of lens flair' games.*

My suggestion for Treyarch's next game? Jet packs. Jet packs for everybody.

Or, hell. Screw it. Let's go to 2251, where we've finally made contact with aliens, and, whadda know, they're hostile? Woooooah! (Seriously, let's make 'To Defend the Earth' into a FPS. I wanna shoot me some Jai.)

*I say, while playing Wargame: European Escalation.

If it was anything other than CoD it'd look pretty interesting.

But no.

I didn't know Treyarch was remaking Battlefield 2142! Awesome!

Treyarch has always made the better CODs. They also made some pretty good Spiderman Games. When this comes out I will wait for the real reviews to come out.....Not IGN or Gamespot.

Why would they do that? Battlefield wasn't all that great, I'd hope they were making something better.

COD:BO2 looks extremely similar to BF:2142.

I was cracking wise.

One must be wise to crack, else one might fall in.



And BF2142 had mechs, making it instantly superior to most games.

I remember when 2142 came out...... I had a really bad pc and could not play it.....I mean really bad.

I wonder how much of the game is a first-person shooter, this time, rather than a string of mildly interactive cutscenes? The amount of time I spent just following people around in Black Ops... ugh. At least if gave me time for the nausea of the loading screen cutscenes to die down a bit.

No co-op mode again, so I'm probably going to pass on this one.

At 0:51, you can see a Walker (4 legs, looks like transport).
