Wasn't there a big promotion for the last COD reveal during the playoffs last time? I remember web ads, commercials during the game telling people to watch at halftime, etc. There has been none of that.

Yep. They usually warn us.

 

[Takamura-San]

Given that no tease has been given about this...

I would say that the OP is talking baloney.

 

[CrazyDude]

It's alright OP, I made a similar mistake for Assassins Creed and I am still alive. I lost a limb though.

 

[cool_dude_2049]

ET = Extra-terrestrial maybe? 9:15 Extra-terrestrial time, someone figure it out!

ET = Exaggerated Time.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Last I heard was a May 1st reveal. If they're doing another nba halftime reveal, tomorrow night makes more sense because the Knicks and Celtics are playing at 7.

 

[TriGen]

Considering that the material said May 1st, it probably is the second game, because it will be after midnight EST when that goes into halftime.

 

[Iacobellis]

I want my new COD from IW OP. You promised us. MW3 doesn't count they had everyone else work on it. I want my IW COD OP.

Wait, is that why MW3 was a lot like MW2?

 

[Portugeezer]

Relax people. It's definitely coming out tonight.

Well, there will be. They just need to reveal it first. But yes, there is no pre-reveal hype advertisement, which is out of character for CoD.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Is this one supposed to be any improvement over the old ones or is it still using the same engine?

I can't see the next gen versions being that great if not .

 

[GillianSeed79]

Well, Clippers play the Grizzlies after this. I guess it could be that halftime.

First time I've willingly watched a basketball game in nearly a decade and no trailer. Couple of interesting things I've learned in recent weeks reading GAF though. One: Oklahoma City has an NBA team. Two: The Clippers are in the playoffs. I'm pretty sure the Clippers in the playoffs is one of the signs of the apocalypse in revelations. Like it's the fourth seal or something. Clippers? Playoffs? Madness I tell you. Next thing you'll tell me is that cats and dogs are living together.

 

[dskillzhtown]

Just to give the OP an out:

Activision may have postponed the reveal because of the GTA trailer release today and the OP got old information. I can see not wanting to share the spotlight with GTA today.

*no source*

His source is marketing material for the game will be in stores tomorrow. Combined with the fact they revealed a trailer last yr during an NBA playoff game.

 

[VertPin]

MW3 felt nothing like to MW2 to me in terms of multiplayer. As far as the campaign, it was all over the place and you couldn't really follow the plot. I'm hoping that only IW is developing this title (even though the main leads are at a dif. company) and can do something without the help of Raven and Sledgehammer games.

GTA trailer was always set for today though

So this is one big guess thread? Not to mention the misleading title and prematurity of it all.

You dun goofed, OP.

So basically

?

They hyped the shit out of their reveal trailer at last years playoffs, why would they not do that this time?

Maybe they want the trailer to be a ghost.

 

[BruiserBear]

FWIW, i never saw them promoting this at all within the past week.

Yeah. They would have promoted this if it were happening.

It's a stealth release.

Would have been weirder if the Clippers had made it and the Lakers hadn't, which nearly happened.

 

[Oersted]

THE FAST AND FURIOUS COMMERCIAL ENDED WITH
"DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS"

OMG

Fast Five reference. Dare you getting hopes up.

 

[Ghazi]

It's CoD.

Maybe they want the trailer to be a ghost.

And miss out on all the hype for it? No way.

 

[Loomba]

I hope you're right OP, if only to quell the impending riot...

 

[R3TRODYCE]

OP never stood a chance;I'll leave nice flowers on your headstone.

 

[antitrop]

I want OP to be justified more than anything else right now.

 

[TriGen]

It is weird that the GameStop material said May 1, because that would mean it should be revealed before tomorrow night. So it's not tomorrow's game. That means it's at midnight EST tonight during halftime, or it's just being revealed via a trailer tomorrow afternoon.

 

[onQ123]

Get'EM!

 

[Tenumi]

I'm not even bothering to watch the basketball games. Watch a show for its commercials? How silly...

Seriously though, dissapointed if there isn't a trailer.

 

[RoKKeR]

I want OP to be justified more than anything else right now.

Well his chance for that has long since past. About 35 minutes ago. Maybe he meant 9:15 PST.

Apparently a Ghosts themed camo has been added to BLOPS 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH5frpJuWhk&feature=player_embedded

This might be a stretch, but...

*OP walking to car, certain of the trailer release.*

*Activision bait and switch*

Fixed.

Then again, you didn't exactly learn that. But now you have!

 

[Kydd BlaZe]

Wasn't the reveal always set for May 1st? It's April 30th. I think the OP goofed...

 

[CorrisD]

I want OP to be justified more than anything else right now.

Well it isn't like we came in here hoping there wasn't a trailer and OP would be wrong or anything, lol, I guess this is what happens when you jump the gun a bit.

Pretty neat, it should be free though, lame if they decided to make us pay for a camo that advertises their next game.

 

[shinobi602]

Is this the new thread trend? Reserving your spot for trailers lol?

Anyway, my body is ready. I actually thoroughly enjoy the COD storylines.

Not for nothing. Lessons were learned in thread creation, hopefully.

 

[LEGGZZZZ]

Ummmm, they don't usually reveal the next Call of Duty until the Eastern Conference Finals, not during the first round of the playoffs...

 

[RoKKeR]

Not for nothing. Lessons were learned in thread creation, hopefully.

Considering we already had a premature thread today w/the GTA trailers, no, no lessons have or ever will be learned.
