It is now exactly two weeks until the only game with the potential to outsell Grand Theft Auto V this year is released/ Yep, in two weeks it’s time for the latest game in the annualised shoot-a-thon, Call of Duty, ad to celebrate, here’s the game’s launch trailer.
Say what you will about Call of Duty and its perceived fanbase of 12 year olds, but it’s an absolutely mammoth property, selling like gangbusters each and every year. Will it manage to do what just about every other Call of Duty has done, and break the previous entry’s sales records?
Honestly? I don’t think so – and I think a lot of that has to do with the current generational transition; some people will be happy to wait until the next-gen versions of the game are available, so the sales figures will be staggered – and publishers seem to relish little other than day one sales. That and it really seems like fatigue is setting in, which is a bit of a pity - because the game actually looks pretty damned good.
Call of Duty: Ghosts is coming on November 5 for PC, PlayStation 3, Wii U and Xbox 360 – and will hit the Ps4 and Xbox One when those systems are available. If you buy a current gen version, you’ll be able to upgrade the sucker
Here’s that trailer:

I sadly enjoy this game, and pre-ordered it on steam.
It appeals to me, cuz after a long day of work, logging on and playing for 30 mins you get instant pew pew gratifications.
No thinking required.

I sadly agree with you. I was on a “gaming break” for about 4 years and missed the last four CoDs. Also BO2 was my first online multiplayer experience, so for me it’s all new. I also pre ordered. I really like the fact that if you have 15min to kill you can quickly play some team death match. Heck, maybe even two matches!

One night was theee worst and most Scared I have ever been. Was about 12 years old, sound like whispering, loads of voices, then BAM! pressed down into bed, laughing like of a deep voice and bed shook its ass off! Tried to shout for help nothing came out!… That messed my head up! Thing is parents sold that house last year… 6 months later back for sale again… swear to god True story..
