Just saw it, looked terrible imo. I saw rectangle pixelated orange beams for bullets, unacceptable.

I just watched it, the COD series is like Madden...theres one every year now it seems and there really isn't much more you can do with this series, same old same old. The trailer itself was a little exciting in a way though, just like if you'd watch a preview for an action movie. Most likely my Brother will be getting it so I'll just play his copy.

I wasn't impressed at all, I got tired of COD since COD MW2, so no matter what I kind of wasn't going to like it. Although I gave it a chance and put down 15.75 just incase. But I'm gonna go back to gamestop and put it down on something else now.
People might hate this next thing I say, but Activision sucks. They ruined one genre of music by releasing yearly/too many music games in Guitar Hero. I think they like to drag down games they sell.
I hope I am not the only one who think Call of Duty had more than its fair share of fun. Too many and now its just getting to be dull.
It just looked like the same game. Nothing new.
Just kidding. It looked great! The CoD trailers always get mereally excited for the campaign, even though I'll spend most of the time on MP.
Meh! Looked nice,But probally another on rails,do some automatic driving trigger a nice explosion,linear,too many cutsscene,move there trigger some enemy spawn,use yet another C-130 CoD.

We haven't used a C-130 in CoD yet. We have used an AC-130.
Surely not literally. I think you might mean "eerily similar" or something along those lines. I see what people mean when they say it's "more of the same" but the action in that trailer was very good, the trailer was very well put together.It's literally the exact same as the MW2 trailer. No thanks.

[QUOTE="realguitarhero5"]Surely not literally. I think you might mean "eerily similar" or something along those lines. I see what people mean when they say it's "more of the same" but the action in that trailer was very good, the trailer was very well put together. As were most of the other trailers. The problem I see right now is this trailer didn't show us anything new about the gameplay really, just what the game's story will be. And that's fine because they are at the point where they are trying to lure in as many people as possible to the game, which really is not difficult. With looking at the past 2-3 Call of Duty games, it is the same gameplay just tweaked in the most minor ways (different weapons, perks, kill streaks, etc). I will withhold my full judgement until I see some actual gameplay, especially multiplayer gameplay videos. Either way though, I am going to surely buy BF3 because I loved BF2 and am ready for a change. However, this doesn't mean that MW3 will be the same, most of us just assume that it will be since the franchise hasn't changed much or brought anything new to the table in a long while.It's literally the exact same as the MW2 trailer. No thanks.

Looked like they mixed a bit of halo's storyline and everything else from Call of Duty 4, but with different characters.

That I completely agree with. I really don't think think that the gameplay will change much, just like you said a few minor tweaks. Going by what we have right now, the whole idea of WW3 seems really interesting, but I dunno if the idea can be properly fleshed out in a 5-6 hour campaign. I'm looking forward to more info on MW3, as for BF3 it's a definite day one purchase for me.It's literally the exact same as the MW2 trailer. No thanks.

Just watch the two back to back.It's literally the exact same as the MW2 trailer. No thanks.

Not sure why everyone seems to assume that one can only purchase either BF3 or MW3. I'm getting both because both satisfy different tastes in multiplayer gaming--fast and brutal in CoD and tactical/strategic in BF. Both look great, and I suspect both will be great in different ways. Why limit yourself to only one when you have 6 months to save up for both? Hell, throw Gears 3 in as well and you won't need a new MP title for a year or longer. As for MW3 offering more of the same, what else would you expect? It's a formula that works brilliantly, has revolutionized most online FPS games, and, if the sales are any indication, that millions of people love. I don't want a radical shift in what CoD offers anymore than I would want a radical shift in what BF or any other established franchise offers. Part of the reason I know I'll like the game is that I know I like what it offers; to move away from that would be to risk the loss of my purchase along with potentially millions of others. Not a wise choice, and one that could just as easily end in disaster as success. Leave major changes and risks to new IPs and leave my standby titles alone, please.sixgears2Oh, I'll most likely be purchasing both. I still play both MW2 and BC2 quite regularly. They both offer completely different things. The only thing that worries me about MW3 is the WW3 idea, the MW campaigns have been short, and a war of such a great scale might not be properly fleshed out in a short campaign which is why I said I want to see more.

That's a fair concern, but I'm not sure if you should really expect an epic single player from a CoD game. if the trailer is any indication it looks like it will be a ridiculous roller coaster of action sequences across the world. That sounds pretty sweet to me. With CoD I'm less concerned about engaging or believable narrative and more concerned about gameplay and set-pieces. I'll stick with RPGs or games like Bioshock if I want a story, with CoD I say bring on the action. The story will likely make no sense, but who cares when everything is blowing up so purty like. :)
I'm actually really surprised ANYONE likes Infinity Ward's teaser trailers, this one was just as god awful as MW2. it did not get me pumped for the game in the slightest. I'm definitely picking up Battlefield 3, but this will be the first Call of Duty that I won't be preordering. If it's anything like MW2, I'm going to hate it with all my being. I'll probably still give it a shot, but I PROBABLY won't get it. Personally, I wish they'd refrain from releasing new entries every year. Map packs and gun packs on a regular, scheduled basis would be a much better option for me. New Call of Duty games should only come around for sylistic changes, like a Cold War-era game as we saw in Black Ops, or WWII-era, or modern-era like Infinity Ward's work. We really don't need a new game every year.creeping-deth87Why would they pass up a yearly opportunity to sell over 20 million copies of a single game in 6 months? That's more than most publishers sell out of their entire portfolio in an enitire year. Besides, I'm still not tired of the Call of Duty formula because it is simply far and away better than nearly any comparable game out there. You can flame all you want, but I suspect there are tens of millions of people who agree with me. It's fun, people love it, and it makes mountains of money. Can you honestly say you wouldn't do the same in Activision's place?

I'm sure there ARE tens of millions of people who agree with you that the COD formula is fun, that really has no bearing on anything that I said.

I can admire that you are looking out for gamer's interestes, but I will warn you that down that road lies disappointment and little else. Still, good debate. I enjoyed it and it got me partially through a boring day at work :)
