i don't like it either. it was cool the first time they did it, but now it just feels tired.

MW2 had the best launch trailer.

I quite like it.

First i thought it was bad. But perhaps it's so bad it's good again. Or perhaps it's just good.

Nice music choice too.

I don't think it was a great commercial. The star wars one was much better.

I like their trailers a lot, they get right to the point. That trailer is epic though, loved it.

Advanced Warfare had Emily Ratajkowski, so that wins.

On a less sexy note, okay trailer. The song though.... Paint it Black, really? Might as well put We Will Rock by Queen and reach the uninspired singularity.

Black Ops 3 is looking incredible. It will without a doubt be the best shooter this year.

I think the Battlefield trailers are some of the best I've ever seen.

COD also has some good trailers (Excluding those live action ones)

Ehhh I am not to big on live action trailers for games. The ones with actual gameplay for the COD series are pretty good, but the live action ones I cannot stand.

Meh.

MGSV should win best trailers of the year by a landslide.

I'm sure they used Paint it Black for Black Ops 1 which obviously made sense because it was set during Vietnam at points and then they used Back in Black for Blops 2 which again, makes sense, it's a sequel. Apparently nobody at Treyarch could think of another song with Black in the title.

Glorious.

But I'm genuinely surprised they didn't use this considering Royal Blood have popped up in so many other trailers the last couple of years. Paint it Black really was an awful choice, 2 minutes on Spotify and they could have found something with black in the title that would've been more interesting.
