What is this? A VHS? Whats up with this crappy quality?
EDIT: oh wait, looks like it was a problem with the video player because it was better when i played it back.

Great to see the medium of video-games being so well represented on mainstream tv.

I don’t like Fallon or Pegg, but I had to laugh at the end
“MW3 Pvt Pegg”
Game looks like, Modern Warfare 2.1 but that’s obvious isn’t it?

All I got from that was that the best aspect of MW2 – SpecOps – appears to have been turned into poor AI zombie mode without the zombies. :/. Presumably they still do all the excellent bits of SpecOps too?
@M.K.
Spaced is one of the best comedy series ever created.

Im a fan of Jimmy, esp what he does with his music, and mtv movie awards spoofs.
As for MW3, glad they got a horde mode on there without zombies. As for the way it looks, dont think they wanna make it look too different as the MWarefare games have a storyline that progresses through the games unlike the Treyarch ones. If they change it too much it wont look like a MW game.

The new Spec Ops mode looks like it’s going to be amazing!
With stats, upgrades, killstreaks and all the rest, it’s no wonder they’re focussing on showing it off first.
Hyped for this game big time!

I swear these guys from Activision just keep saying the same shit about these games. “MW2 and Black Ops had the biggest launch in entertainment history”, “It feels like you’ve been put in the middle of a hollywood blockbuster”, “It has an incredible cinematic experience with incredible graphics” *Yawn*. I would like to hear something different come out of one of these guys mouths for once.

Lame. 3 shots into a boat and it blows up. Let’s see them try to drive that boat around the other side of the frigate, oh wait, it’s COD, it won’t let you because it’s on rails, damn. That was a nice $60+tax I spent.
@17, bingo.

You know you have to appreciate what Activision created here; they figured out how to shit in the same package over and over again and sell millions of copies every year. That’s genius, we all will probably do the same thing if we were in their position.

I think Activision should start counting hurt sphincters as actual sales.

@DSB Lol, I think that would make for a good investment on the stock market, everytime Kotick talks the talk my shares would go up
