If there's a Wii U version with Wiimote controls... that's quite the tempting proposition.

Could be the start of Near Future warfare. Unless they make a fall back to WWII at some point...or "Call of the Dead" its own game.

I'm all in on a fkn zombies standalone game. 4 player zombies w/ my buddies has been my most enjoyable MP experience since nostalgia ridden 007/PD.
Speaking of zombies, I'm sort of hoping to see Bosses. Like get to lvl 25 and THEN George Romero would come out and you'd all get raped and say it was bullshit and impossible, then on the 8th try you finally kill him.. a man can dream.
Also more narratives for the levels. I want to solve mysteries and blast zermbies.

Thats what i'm saying. Just call it "Call of the Dead" and make it another franchise. Still room what with Left 4 Dead having gone dormant for awhile.

wow... this must be awfully cut trailer because after reading 2 previews my thoughts about this game did a complete 180.
The story does sound like if modern warfare 2-3 weren't written 'dumb'. Hope the script is decent.
And another 180.
booo.

Giant Bomb preview:
http://www.giantbomb.com/news/lets-talk-about-the-future-of-call-of-duty/4120/
This game sounds pretty damn good so far. Treyarch looks like they've put a crapload of changes in the campaign.
-Part of the game set in the 1980s.
-Main enemy in future cold war is China
-Supposedly looks nicer than previous entries
-Branching campaign with multiple outcomes
-Missions attached to the story, allows you to pop out into an mini-RTS like screen and then choose a unit to take direct control. This includes non-human things like copters and robots.
-If you run out of units you fail the mission and the story still continues, will affect the overall cold war and your ending.

Damn nice read.
Plus seems the ones that wished earlier for the Cold War got their wish...

Wow, after reading those three recent links, it appears that there are a LOT of changes in the game. Failing missions and having it affect the story? Controlling squad mates and being able to play the game tactically from a top-down view? Zombies running in the MP engine?
Shit. Big changes.
I'm pumped for this.

WTF? That has to be a mistake. Treyarch has shown more love to the PC community than IW even if Black Ops ran like shit for a lot of people with great specs. I expect to be playing Black Ops 2 before we get any DLC for MW3 on PC...lol
I just don't see how DX11 can be added to an engine that doesn't particularly look good and runs at 60 FPS. No, that's not a troll. The games looks good for 60 FPS on consoles but the Treyarch games specifically aren't that pretty so it's weird to hear DX11 even being brought up. It'd be funny to have tessellation though. As long as the DX11 features are actually useable and doesn't tank the FPS on a game where 60 is the norm, then I'm excited to see what they have.
Its a COD game. You will probably be jumping back and forth throughout the SP.

Fuck it. I'll hop off the mobile site and onto my computer and start one real quick.

I already started, lets race!
Hmm...thats the one thing I havent liked about most recent COD titles, jumping back and forth between characters and days. Kinda makes you lose a grip on what little story is there.
I am glad that all MP takes place in the future though.

Can't wait to see what "controversial violence" they'll go for this time.

Agree with you. I'm anxious to see how they pull it all off and if all of it plays well. Even if it doesn't, I respect Treyarch for trying to change the CoD formula.

The trailer looks interesting, but I have little faith in Treyarch.
Will pick it up for cheap, probably. After buying the last... five games on day 1. Time to be strong!

The key difference being that the first two games you mentioned are actually good, and the third being a copy of a copy, reiterated on a yearly basis, goes on to sell more than the first two combined.
Sad.
The trailer is kind of funny in a way to me because I've been saying for years that cyber-warfare is the area the U.S. needs to focus on the most (defensively mostly) because that is what other big nations are working on the most since they can't match up toe to toe with them. The idea is to completely shut down the networks, take over unmanned vehicles, and cause general mayhem all the while gaining crucial secrets. Leon Panetta surprised me when he said that was the area he was worried about the most and that's where he'd like to catch up so at least they're addressing those concerns.
It's just different for a change to hear the story involve that (if that's what the trailer truly meant) as it's very different and hasn't really been touched on too much and it's the only real thing (besides the obvious nuclear warfare) that could be believable right now instead of the bullshit MW storyline as if an invasion is that simple. So we went from Red Dawn to a Clancy book that sort of makes sense, but there's a lot we don't know yet so I hope the rest is good. The fact that the storyline can change in some instances if you fail a mission is unreal for a COD game since a linear Michael Bay game has always been the approach. If the core gameplay is good and feels different, then the COD fatigue might wear off. I like their ideas so far.
Well played Treyarch for taking risks and trying to do something different. Here's to hoping that the PC version doesn't run like shit or any version for that matter and that dedicated servers will be back. I have full faith that they will be since they tend to listen more to the community than IW.

I don't even...if this is true...woah.
I'll be there day 1 either way, but if they actually put a branching story line into a COD game I would be ecstatic.
MW3 was/is awful, but this has my attention after that trailer. Graphics are awful, but this would be 6th COD in a row on Veteran, and it actually looks good and hyped compared to MW3. I said I was COD burned out, but I will probably buy this, and unless something major happens this will be it for me COD wise. It's like Madden at this point, people will/have lost interest.

After reading this article I'm now actually quite interested in this game now. So 1/3 of the game will be in 1980s huh, that explains the horses as well. And awesome that they are still including the zombie mode.
Oh, and one of the missions in Strike Force happens in Singapore (my country), awesome. :3
It says "D. Mason" on the left side, above the "T6". So there seems to be a Mason, just not the Mason.
Also, at :37 it shows squad commands on the left side of the hud. That's nice.
I totally missed this when i took that screenie. Nice find.
