Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



The Activision marketing machine keeps on chugging, with a new commercial hitting UK televisions in the lead-up to the biggest shooting game of the year. The video provided comes courtesy of the Shakeycam Corporation, but it's still a pretty damn good ad and should get violence fans pumped up for Infinity Ward's latest.

It really does look bloody amazing, regardless of your thoughts on Infinity Ward, Activision or the Call of Duty franchise. I have to confess I'm getting rather eager to play it, and not just because I love the idea of shooting civilians in an airport. It might be trendy to hate the game right now, but sod it. It's going to be really good whether we want it to be or not.

@DougCL

Who doesn't hate on Activision affiliated game?!

Truth is... I want this game to fail.

I don't want this to become the next big thing and be all you hear about from friends, award shows, journalists etc etc... but it will be.

I will be buying it day one and playing it extensively though as it looks fucking awesome!

i only clicked on this becuase TV spots tend to avoid spoilers for yet-uncovered parts of the game.
I suppose its my fault for continuing to click on coverage of this fucking game,
but still.

So now that they've taken out the Space Station and the White House(I'm just assuming from the commercials), what is left for Modern Warfare 3? The moon?

NASA already bombed the moon.

Or doesn't give two shits about PCs or multiplayer. That'd be me. Right here buddy.

Seriously everytime I think it's all been spoiled, said and done, and I can just sit back watch the inevitable filler and post-release news/bitching come down the pipeline they pull this shit. What the hell IW? How many twist can you have before shit stops making sense?

What you don't know is that this is the alternative ending to Independence day.

The Whitehouse destruction is down to Alien invaders and you are charged with the mission to blow them up from outta space.

The Russians are actually aliens. I saw space, what other logical conclusion can I draw from this?

@Mockingbird

The music is such a shame.

They have Hans Zimmer creating an epic orchestral score for the game yet they choose to sully it with this nonsense.

Not that's there's anything inherently wrong with Eminem.. just in the context of the video it doesn't work.

But I suppose in the advertise context of 'HEY KIDS! Look at this...' it works.

I'm with Xzyliac here. Getting it for PC, no less, because I just can't manipulate an analog stick with the precision or intuitiveness with which I can manipulate a mouse. Guaranteed BUY
