Modern Warfare 3 to debut during NBA Western Conference Finals

Just saw the teaser during the 3rd/4th quarter commercial break in the DAL/OKC game.

May 23rd I believe was the date, game 4 of this series.

It will be the most watched sporting event during the month of May in the US?

Well what about the NHL playoffs?

Should be fun to see but I really only plan to rent MW3 this year and don't plan on spending much time in the MP

Target audience + grabbing new players. Modern Warfare is at a point where anyone remotely involved in non-casual gaming has heard of it. They don't gain as much selling to the hardcore crowd as they do grabbing new players.

Wanna hear a good joke? Waste your time helping me! LOL!
Will wait till it hits the net.

Actually, this will be the only time I watch the NBA this year

And it begins. Surprised BF3 wasn't dropped earlier.

I think he was joking. The battlefield 3 commercial (with actual footage) debuted during the first round of the NBA playoffs.

Didn't they debut a teaser for MW2 during last years finals?
Spending millions of dollars showing a trailer 7 months after a game's release is so stupid only EA would do it.

Not every peson lives in the US, you know.

Well if they could they would show it at the same time during an EPL game too, I'm sure they'll show it on tv in Europe too but NBA playoffs and CoD has a ton of cross-over, its all guys at work talk about.

Erm... Have no idea. TV is not a very popular over here. But I believe soccer is nine times more popular than basketball in Europe, isn't it?

Oh, now I understand. Thanks.

Considering that MW2 was released in 2009, debuting a teaser a full seven months after release would seem a bit counteractive :)

Snorkeling.

*reads Bulls/Heat had a record number of people watching*


they picked the wrong series.


I'll be watching, want to see it now!

I came here to post that, maybe they will show another teaser for the Eastern finals as well.

That was what they showed tonight. The Am3rica teaser that you can find in the current MW3 hype thread.
Okay well since that's all they showed in a teaser than maybe they will actually show something significant on the night of the finals.

I think that's the thing... they will probably show some cut-scenes like with Black Ops and maybe a very short glimpse of the multiplayer (seeing how that's what sells the most), then cut to black and have the MW3 logo show up, and everybody gets hyped lol....

I figured as much. Happens this way everytime with an IW game, doesn't it?

The gameplay trailers to Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops debuted during the NBA playoffs. It's just a trend in the entire series now.
