For some reason, Activision is intent on blowing cash on Modern Warfare 2 advertisements, despite record pre-order numbers, and anticipated record-breaking sales. At this point, tossing out slick television commercials – like the one you see above, showing some more fightin' on American soil – just seems like kicking everyone's wallets while they're down. We've already got the game pre-ordered! We can't pre-order it anymore! Uncle!

Agreed but this was a GOOD choice in terms of a TV spot. I mean the gamers already know about the game IW is just gangstaing up the game for the Maddenites and the like to catch it on TV and go, "OH SNAP DAWG ANOTHER CALL OF DUTY!"

While Im a fan of this song, I dont think it fits the trailer at all. It appears they acted too hastily when picking a song for a movie trailer type of promotion.

i love that song. thought is was great. too much crap daft punk, hipster crap in games, and too much long haired makeup wearing, spandex pantsed rod in the rooter poofter rock stuff. this track was the best part of the video
