    The trailer says "Actual Gameplay", but nowhere in any of it is anyone holding a gun shooting at anything.

    I have always said the best thing about the Call of Duty series is the advertising. This game is no different.

    To be more accurate it says "Actual In-game Footage" that does not necessarily mean "Actual Gameplay." In this case when they say "Actual In-game Footage" they basically just mean these are some cutscenes you can expect to see in the actual game.

    But it is deliberately worded so vaguely to deceive customers into thinking "Oh yeah, this is exactly what gameplay will look like," instead of "Oh yeah, this is exactly what cutscenes will look like."

    And I won't debate that it is deliberately worded vaguely so as to deceive costumers because that is very much true. I will however debate claims that the trailer says "Actual Gameplay" because nowhere does it say that the "Actual In-game Footage" is "Actual Gameplay."

    It's their typical trash-on-rails. Yes, it's pretty, but not very good.

    I don't find it that pretty, even the cutscenes are not very impressive.

    Also, I like how COD games are always rated M, but the marketing always unabashedly targets people well under 18.

    Does anyone else wish the sound effects were more realistic? The gunshots sound more like lasers and the explosions definitely don't sound like actual explosions (at least compared to movie explosions).

    Well its returning to WW2 which is nice. How sledgehammer games executes the game itself still remains to be seen. It looked nice, and November is still a bit out. The future COD games were seriously just ehh. I mean they came out a few years back and the future looks nothing like that not even a smidgen. All COD games need reviews before purchase since after all they are owned by the evil corporation ACTIVISION.
