I'm not so sure!!! It's different, I'm shocked, I never expected future, modern maybe but future?!?!? It does look really good tho and I'm still buying as always, never miss cod games ;)

A load of crap looks like a terminator rip of with the hunter killers flyin about.defo won't b buying this graphics arnt that good either I thought going backs to the original black ops game the mission were from the 60's to the 80's no way is this set in that timeline. R.I.P cod I'll will be buying medal of honor warfighter instead.

Wow.......... Erm, yh, it looks *****! Lol, goodbye COD, may this b the start of ur downfall for bein lazy!
#5 Andya230711  Xbox News App 09:23 02 May 2012 GMT  
And the garbage continues! This just says they have run out of wars to base there games on. GIVE IN!! I dont understand why people are still giving money to these robbers. Its almost theft with there product. Then you can pay again for something like elite and get a bit more poor dlc. Sorry but seems like they dont care about delivering a good game at all just want the money
#6 Stevos Kitchino  Xbox News App 10:01 02 May 2012 GMT  
Geez can't please anyone can they ? You lot moan that it's always the same and yet it's 15 years in the future and guess what ?... MORE MOANING !! I think it looks cool as f*** !! Good on them for changing it ... Very much looking forward to it !!
#7 XxAuzziexX  Xbox News App 10:26 02 May 2012 GMT  
I Will Buying Medal Of Honor Warfighter Instead Looks Way Better With A Better Story And Graphics.
#8 Doucher  Xbox News App 10:40 02 May 2012 GMT  
I thought this was a trailer for black ops not ghost recon?
#9 Smiggsta1  Xbox News App 11:10 02 May 2012 GMT  
#6 do u no not agree tht there jus gettin lazy? I mean, cod havent made a new engine since modern warfare, it jus seems as tho there bringin out the same game over and over, but jus givin it a new lick of paint! Jus think its time they actually put sum effort in and bring the world sumin its never seen before, until then, i jus believe tjere money grabbers, i honestly hope no1 buys this game and it f*cks them up, there well overdue a reality check
#10 Ulsterboy16  Xbox News App 11:17 02 May 2012 GMT  
People looking for change and this is a big change it looks good/the change was well overdue
#11 xRobbie Zombiex  Xbox News App 11:22 02 May 2012 GMT  
I love COD, i play it pretty much anytime i get a chance to play my xbox but i can't say i'm impressed with this. I'll be fair it definetely looks like they are trying to make it different but.........man i do not like the look of it at all. The campaign looks like it's going to be heavily reliant on air support from the trailer, if the multiplayer is going to be like that then COD will be ruined. Don't get me wrong i will still buy the game like the vast majority of us out there, but i don't habe high hopes for it so far. However saying that it could surprise me and actually be good. How awesome would that be! I've fallen into the hype for "the next COD" ever since i played WaW (my first COD game) and have been bitterly dissappointed except for the zombies mode in Black Ops. Would be a nice change to not expect so much from a game and have it turn out to be pretty damn good. Hopefully the zombies mode will make an appearance again but i'm sure with the success it has had (particularly in Black Ops) that there is no doubt it shall be returning. Futuristic zombie warfare, THAT sounds badass!
#12 dV KILL EM ALL  Xbox News App 11:24 02 May 2012 GMT  
There's a lot of great things on cod games but there's loads of sh#t things in them too. There good at marketing these games but the fact is that were just a bit board of the game after bout 3 months, I'm not saying make it more like BF3 but more team based. It's really the people that play it that's 1 of many frustrating problems with this game. Think I would rent this b4 buying, I hope I do buy but it has to wow me though, emmmmmm
#13 AssassinJohn  Console Guide App 12:09 02 May 2012 GMT  
I didn't even get halfway through watching this and got bored...
#14 Stevos Kitchino  Xbox News App 12:09 02 May 2012 GMT  
#8 their a company, they make games to make money !! I really don't think they need a new engine untill the next gen console comes out and how are they being lazy when their trying to envisage warfare that could take place 20 odd years in the future ?
#15 Andya230711  Xbox News App 12:18 02 May 2012 GMT  
Surely to make more money they should put the effort into making a good product to start this. The ott marketing they do must cost a fortune. My point earlier was yes they change the setting but the gameplay remains the same feel everytime since cod4 which has had its day like someone says above that lasts about 3 months then bordem sets in. Just dissapointing after the fun had on cod 4.
#16 monkeesea  Xbox News App 13:21 02 May 2012 GMT  
ZOMBIES......fuct yeah ok ok
#17 monkeesea  Xbox News App 13:21 02 May 2012 GMT  
ZOMBIES......fuct yeah ok ok
#18 Alza14  Xbox News App 13:32 02 May 2012 GMT  
Wow it looks good and if zombies Is in the game think of what they can do
#19 jdean23  Xbox News App 13:40 02 May 2012 GMT  
I think it looks good personally. I think because it's set in the future they will be able to bring fresh new ideas to the table, and it won't just sit and be the same. New weapons, veichles, perks etc. Also they won't build a new engine for a game when it's obvious the consoles are reaching the end of there life span. I'm sure the first cod game on xbox3 or ps4 will be running on a new engine.
#20 o4  Xbox News App 14:44 02 May 2012 GMT  
I actually think this game looks better than the last 3 COD games at least it's different unlike MW2 & 3
#21 Warpath   14:55 02 May 2012 GMT  
Will be picking this bad boy up yer the settings new but hay new can be good roll on November.
#22 Devildoggo300   15:13 02 May 2012 GMT  
I think #14 nailed it I am pretty sure they knew about a new system coming out soon so why spend the money now just to have to build a new one for the new systems. You do know the new Xbox is going to be running 6 different processors like the ps3 did. So I see why they haven't changed it and honestly why would they just look at their sales. Yes it's been the same but people are still going to buy it no matter what.
#23 Ghoulishzombie  Xbox News App 15:16 02 May 2012 GMT  
Not Bad
For all who don't know zombies have been confirmed
#24 n0m1sdr0l   15:27 02 May 2012 GMT  
Considering I have bought and enjoyed every COD since its inception, I have to say that this looks bloody awful! Maybe this will spell the end of the franchise!
#25 Sparrow  PS3 News App 16:07 02 May 2012 GMT  
Guys zombies has been confirmed by the developer himself. However he did not provide much information about their description. Here's my say, I agree with the majority on this futuristic setting and futuristic guns dissapointment, but hey what about zombies? I bet 80 percent of gamers would 'hop' on zombies as soon as they recieve the game. I'm relly excited about zombies!!!
#26 ChrisG6192   16:28 02 May 2012 GMT  
You say this is a change, but take another look. The graphics have the same edge to them, and the short clips of gameplay look exactly the same as MW/MW2/BO/MW3. You might call me a BF fanboy, but I'm not trying to start an arguement. When we say change we mean change. Look at the difference between BF2 (not bad company) and BF3. That is the difference we want to see. Plus BF2142 has already done future stuff.
#27 R4MB0  Xbox News App 16:34 02 May 2012 GMT  
Wats wiv all the zombie talk if u want to play zombie get left for dead or sum thing like that's another of on of tryarch games with it in time to change that format aswell it's supposed to be a war shooter not a zombie game if thats wat all u sado's buy cod for then u all dumbasses you all gone sayin all the cods have bin the same since cod 4 this has bin the same since cod waw total hypocrites in my opinion.
#28 uneasy thug  Xbox News App 18:48 02 May 2012 GMT  
Well said Rambo u are 100 percent right,
#29 munncl  Xbox News App 18:56 02 May 2012 GMT  
So excited for this game! I like the idea of he future and for zombies Omg I can't imagine what there going to be like!!! I will be getting the hardend edition and the limited edition console.
#30 Smiggsta1  Xbox News App 19:21 02 May 2012 GMT  
Ill agree that, spending money on a new engine for tje xbox would be a waste of time, but i think i speak for everyone wen i say id have alot more respect for um if they jus took a year out and sed 'wer workin on sumin completly new, jus hold on' and Absolutly smashed it wid a new game! But i cnt get over the feelin ther jus money grabbin now
#31 RAND0M C0NCEPT  Xbox News App 20:22 02 May 2012 GMT  
Yawn, another cut and paste piece of crap. Gamers should boycott the game untill they actually come up with a decent idea. Lazy lazy lazy. COD is officially been dead since MW2

#37 BrownGentleman  Xbox News App 22:33 02 May 2012 GMT  
At least Treyarch are trying something new. Unlike the past three games Infinity Ward have dished out. I just hope there's a really good system to stop underage kids signing on, f**cking Liam's and Josh's, shouting down the mic to their mum asking what's for tea, asking for sweeties. True story.jpg
#38 xLeMoNxNaDeSx  Xbox News App 23:16 02 May 2012 GMT  
I couldn't take this seriously at all. Its looks just too ridiculous. I just don't understand the COD series anymore. It's a bit disappointing...
#39 Khalifa Kuzz  Xbox News App 05:41 03 May 2012 GMT  
Kinda looks like crysis 2
#40  Xbox News App 07:55 03 May 2012 GMT  
Interesting...doesn't look bad, but can't say i wanted to buy it the moment I saw the trailer. However, the scene with the horses...seriously, it's in the future-couldn't have made it with some cool fast technology like pod racers or hoverboards???
#41 schauvin  Xbox News App 09:41 03 May 2012 GMT  
It is a big leap for cod but also this one is made by a different company than the ones who made modern warfare
#42 Ghetto reaper  Xbox News App 17:42 03 May 2012 GMT  
Personally I'm not a big cod or bf fan I much prefer gow or Tom Clancy games, however I think they are going in the right step finally, 1st off for the one saying its s terminator rip off watch again the machine haven't gone rogue they have been hijacked by another country much like the fears of hijacking nuclear warheads, 2nd cod has look the same be ause the engine reached its limit, yes bfbc2 and bf3 look completely different but that's because of the lack of power in the first engine they needed an upgrade cod already looks good and if we are talking about a cut and paste game look no further than FIFA that's a joke for a game. 3rd to move away from past or present wars will make it feel fresh yes other games have and are doing future gameplay but cod are doing it subtly and not making a over powered future shooter. 4th stop bitching you would go insane if they went one year without cod, or your always bitching change cod we're bored face the fact that shooter would change that much over the next few years any way.
#43 Stevos Kitchino  Xbox News App 18:14 03 May 2012 GMT  
Agreed #42, FIFA is an absolute joke !!! Yet I play it all the time ... I hate myself lol
#44 GamingHazard  Xbox News App 19:06 04 May 2012 GMT  
Dear whoever said that 'they r runnin outta wars 2 base der game off', you're an idiot.
Firstly, it's a game. A fictional game. It could be set during the clash of the titans. Where does it say that call of duty is the Number battle simulator? nowhere. apart fanboys comments. I love call of duty's single player (it's been solid in ALL of them) and I love battlefields multiplayer. But I think that by providing this chane of settings they can add whatever they see fit to make this into a really fun game.
Besides y'all said this about mw3, black ops and the rest. They all sold incredibly well and hey were all dm good games. exactly the same at the battlefield series.
So whoever says that OMG BF3 IZ BETTA THAN COD or vice versa, they're entirely different games in a sense.
k rant over now bai.
#45 o4  Xbox News App 00:07 05 May 2012 GMT  
I think cod 4 was the last decent multiplayer experience I've had, I hope treyarch will try and stop players glitching it, just ruins the game...
#46 ChrisG6192   07:12 05 May 2012 GMT  
This is the real trailer, right? The graphics are AWFUL if it is.
#47 Liam217  Xbox News App 11:13 05 May 2012 GMT

#48 BrutalGoh4N  Xbox News App 14:37 05 May 2012 GMT  
Can't wait for Counterstrike GO hopefully be the end of COD, so sick of that game, air support, perks. With Counterstrike everyone is on a level playing field hopefully they won't fxck it up
#49 Josephjt777  Xbox News App 21:22 05 May 2012 GMT  
As I said no comments time will tell though I'm not a cod fan.
#50 Gimplord  Xbox News App 00:11 06 May 2012 GMT  
Looks like a pile of rubish . Probly the first cod game i dont buy.
My opinion tho :)
#51 R4MB0  Xbox News App 10:52 06 May 2012 GMT  
Why not just make a cod zombies game and have done with it. If that's why all u dicks out there buy the game then we can have a decent cod game
#52 Liam217  Xbox News App 03:25 07 May 2012 GMT  
This kinda good but from what everyone is saying I hope they make a GOOD multiplayer because today in mw3 I JUST presitged and I am already lvl 4

Battlefield tried this with 2142 or something years ago
#57 Pradius  Xbox News App 12:35 07 May 2012 GMT  
Some people are so retarded when it comes to hating on CoD. No one cares about your internet popularity. Infact, you sound like a moron hating just for the sake of hating. You have been whining and crying for something new and different, yet when they give you what you ask for you still cry and b*tch. I realize most of you haters are nerds with no lives that probably never leave your mommys basement in fear of the real world but if you had read anything about Black Ops 2 before blindly hating on it to justify your existence then you would know both zombies and multiplayer are being reworked from the ground up. You would also then know that this campaign will be like no other. This isn't just a future setting but there will also be side missions and branching story lines. Main characters of the game will live or die in game based on those decisions. The trailer looks great and I can't wait to play it this November. Medal of Honor is going to be crap, just like the last one was. Infact, the new MoH looks like a lazy rip off of Modern Warfare at best. If your not interested in something then why even comment on the article? Rest assured, your pathetic cries for attention have not gone unnoticed. Good day.
#58 ChrisG6192   21:32 07 May 2012 GMT  
Mate, are you blind? Just because the game is set in the future doesn't mean that it's a massive change. We haven't seen any of those gameplay mechanics in action, but we have seen the graphics. To my eyes anyway, the game engine looks EXACTLY the same as before. The graphics have not changed on bit, and look just as dated as any other COD. Don't just call us blind haters. I have many other issues with COD, some of them with FOV and movement characteristics, which make me actually feel sick. A few other games do that, but not many. It's called basic empathy. Just because you don't have the problem doesn't mean others do not. You have no right to call others stupid haters because they challenge your favourite game. You can't come back to this comment, without sounding stupid, so don't try.
#59 JjOoNnNnYyBb  Xbox News App 01:06 08 May 2012 GMT  
Let's boycott this game black ops two I agreed it needs something new to multiplayer and needs more work into that game series if they took a year out and made one and polished it that would make me believe they want to get a awesome game out not just a copy and paste this certainly looks like one and I promise you guys I ain't buying it like cod but getting pisstake buying one each year !!!!
#60 XxNOxREGRETZxX  Xbox News App 03:24 08 May 2012 GMT  
#59 Here we go again. Are really taking boycott into perspective when the game went from the Vietnam War to the future. That's not a change? Boycotting a video game is the dumbest thing i've ever heard. People asked for change because the game was the same. You got what you asked for. So STOP moaning and crying. If your not going to buy it, great. No need to b**** about it though. Most of you kids think you know what your talking about, you don't. Get off their nuts and let them be money wh0re$. Everytime a new Call of duty comes out you look for something to complain about. Keep it to yourself. Haterz gonna hate.
#61 XxNOxREGRETZxX  Xbox News App 03:33 08 May 2012 GMT  
Too many motherfu*kin kids on this app. GTFO
#62 R4MB0  Xbox News App 07:30 08 May 2012 GMT  
Well said #61
#63 Harmon0823  Xbox News App 04:03 12 May 2012 GMT  
The trailer looked amazing. I'm not really a hard core Call of Duty guy, but I enjoy my multiplayer gaming, and capping Jugernauts and such. I liked the futuristic perspective, I really enjoyed MW3/BlackOps, perfect story line, but I felt the source code was just copied and pasted with graphics and story line changed. The graphics in this one look just a bit more animated to me so the resolution comes out sharper. Really hope they take advantage of the future technology and give us some weapons we've never seen before in any other game. It sure has a lot of potential. I'm defiantly grabbing it when it comes out.
#64 ChrisG6192   07:28 12 May 2012 GMT  
The graphics look like A down step to me, especially from battlefield. They need to step up their engine. The change we're looking for isn't from the timeframe, but from the engine. This looks like an even worse version of their engine.
#65 curtisslaughter  Xbox News App 22:04 23 May 2012 GMT  
COD has been and I am sure it will continue to be a great franchise, and I dont get why people ate upset its being placed in the future? Its not new modern warfare title. All this bitching about Cod black ops 2 being set in the future is the creators trying new ideas, like you halfass critics wanted. Change stuff its all the same, then they do and you cry about it. Complain complain complain but your still going to pre order it, and wait in line to get it the day its released. On another note to you butt horns who keep talking crap about people camping in COD in a realistic conflict people don't run around like chickens with their heads cu off do they.
#66 lllBuckxShotlll  PS3 News App 23:14 26 May 2012 GMT  
Ok let's see cod in the future wit robots and killer drones kinda lame but if I see it in a pawn shop I'll proly buy it just for the campaign but till then I'll be layn c4 on my jeep and ghost riding it into tanks and watchin players walk into my claymores.......ect.
