When I saw the above trailer crop up in my feeds this morning, the title was entirely in Japanese. Since I am barely capable of reading English with proficiency, I just went ahead and clicked anyway. And while I couldn't quite shake the feeling that I'd seen it before, it looked fantastic. I'm not a military shooter buff or anything, but this was something people would take notice of.
Once I saw the Eiffel Tower for the second time, I figured out what this was. Still, it was a nice little dream while it lasted.

They have some insanely good voice-actors over there, and this shows it, I'm almost tempted to play MW3 in japansese after i'm finished with the english campaign. xD
Really? I figured out what it was the moment I hit the play button. I saw those battleships in the water and I said "Modern Warfare 3!" But to be fair, I read what you wrote first. Still, it was a dead giveaway to me.
i dont see why they even show video of the single player for the trailers, does anyone play this series for the single player eXperi3nce!! BRO!!
as soon as it started i knew what it was by the way it looked. this series is so generic now.

Awesome!
Oh well, I guess the Japanophiles out there nut their pants when they see or hear anything Japanese. Sad.
