Call of Duty And Robert Downey Jr. In A Marriage Of Pure AC/DC

Posted on Monday, October 29 @ 11:56:12 Eastern by

Best headline ever!

Look at all those people that play Call of Duty all the time! Pretty crazy huh?! FPS RUSSIA?!?! How did they get that guy? I thought Russia and the United States didn't like each other. You'd think that gun-obssessed psychopath wouldn't be allowed in the States!

Whatever, look, Call of Duty obviously has a lot of money to throw around. These commercials do GREAT business for them, especially on TV during football. They'll keep making them, so instead, just sit back, relax and enjoy the cheesy awesome cooked up for Call of Duty: Black Ops II.

    Haha, me neither. I believe some of them are supposed to be regular people, as if you we're in a multiplayer match with Jack Black in the beginning?

    Because Robert Downey Jr. is just an actor pretending to be a badass.

    I'm still wrapping my head around the future setting being "modern" warfare. Future warfare, maybe? Or... modern in the future? I'm no Nikola Tesla, so this just doesn't make too much sense to me.

    Near Future Warfare, at least that's how I like to call it.

    Those COD ads are pretty great. Nice use of music. And I like the concept. No other tv trailer that I've seen better shows off a game's sense of multiplayer.

    I actually agree. CoD and other shooters can get a bad rap for turning what would normally be considered psychopathic behavior into a game, but really the whole killing people thing is just the vehicle for friendly competition. The behavior of the people in the commercial really highlight that it is just a game, despite however it may look.

    The position it very well. It's such a masculine ad and they buy the right space. The marketing department at Activision is incredibly strong, even if the games can be hit or miss.

    I'm sure I'm going to get thumbs downs because I'm sure you already know this, but FPS Russia isn't really Russian.

    Well, at least they're promoting multiplayer (what CoD players want) rather than promoting the campaign.

    I don't know why I'm getting thumbs downed. The main reason people will buy CoD games nowadays are for multiplayer.
