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

 



It has begun.

With Modern Warfare 2 a mere two weeks away, evil publisher Activision has rolled out its advertising campaign of death. Expect total media saturation over the next fortnight, with Activision backed up by American retail titan Walmart. You will not escape Modern Warfare 2.

This video is the first step. It's a Walmart/MW2 joint commercial that features a rather old joke -- two males having a most "hilarious" trash talk session. Personally I think it would have been more fitting, given recent circumstances, to have had a commercial where terrorists burst into a Walmart and gun the shoppers down.

It would also be quite satisfying to see, since I've been in a Walmart before and most of the people in there are scum. Especially the slugs who can clearly walk but are riding scooters around.

Anyway, check out the video. It's right there.

Haha, I thought that was pretty good. And isn't the snow mobile part like in the first mission?

I hate Activision and I'm not all that excited for MW2 (not much of a multiplayer person) but that commercial was actually pretty good. STOP MAKING KINDA FUNNY THINGS WHEN I'M TRYING TO BE ANGRY WITH YOU.

I went to a WalMart once and I said the creepiest thing. "I see white people..."

That ad was really meh. If the kind of people they want buying Modern Warware 2 are the "bluetoothers" (also known as the super dicks) count me out.

I kind of liked that.

In the same way I kind of like Gilmore Girls, and for the same reasons.

That guy shouldn't worry. He can buy a new garage door for $5 at Walmart.

Jim, I think one of those sentences classifies as a mild spoiler (not everyone has chosen to watch the video!).

Also, I thought the ad was kind of funny. Well, only when he drove through the garage door.

I manage to escape by not being near a Wal-Mart, except by means of automobile, and not owning a television! Media, except Dtoid, isolation for the win!

That was honestly pretty lame. Real insulting banter between gaming friends is usually far wittier. At least in my group of friends, anyway.

Too soon, Sterling... Too soon.


Yeah, that was kinda lame and funny at the same time. Not bad, Walmart. Too bad I fucking hate you guys.

It's not cool, it's lame. Everything is lame. Me and my buddies are cooler than these guys. That one guy had a bluetooth headset so I know he's a total douche. Also, I talk funnier smack than them.

Ok, I think that covers them all, right?

U need to add a little more "I hate Walmart", but I think "Everything is lame" covers it.

Best kind of trash talking includes "binky" every time.

I still hate you Walmart, but this was mildly entertaining.
