Foreplay be over soon i hope
 

this build up to day of release reminds me of something and i cant remember what:)

Be such a relief when its over.::rolleyes:

If only the buildup was like Oblivion.
People not even into flight sims would be foaming at the mouth for Cliffs of Dover.

+1 :grin:

Oblivion had the best marketing ever. I bet everyone with a PC knew about the game by March 2006. The anticipation was tangible!

Little did I know...

Look at Skyrim's (sequel to Oblivion) marketing, even now. It's not out until October but I'm already frothing at the mouth for it because of the amazing trailers, music and info over at Game Informer.

Skyrim

Now that is a trailer. Jeremy Soule has done the music for every ES game since Morrowind, and Birds of Prey as well. Hopefully Ubi will get him in to do the music for CoD. They even did a little translation puzzle of the language they are singing in on the trailer. :)

Foreplay be over soon i hope

nope ..sorry... get yourself an ice pack your gonna get blue balls:twisted:

nice post Grunch, that music reminded of the movie conan and the voice is from max von stdow who was in the movie aswell :)

Yup! :) Hopefully they haven't spent all their voice acting money on him this time, like they did with Patrick Stewart and Sean Bean in the last one. :rolleyes: I think I preferred the theme in its less deliberately epic form though:

Honestly, it would make so much difference if CoD had a theme as memorable and amazing as the Elder Scrolls theme. Especially notable considering Morrowind came out in 2002, and by comparison in Il-2 we have some godawful forgettable MIDI rumpety-pumpety military marches as the menu music.

Another memorable theme, for me at least, is the theme from Battlefield 1942.

Yes! Easily the best theme for any Second World War game. Hell, any war game. :grin:

I spent most of my youth just "chundering"

As old as the hills, but still one of the best WW2 themes

Some forum members may think the foreplay needs to continue a bit more. They're still just a we bit flaccid. ;)

Gosh, two of my most anticipated games of 2011, Cliffs of Dover and Skyrim, and it turns out i'm not the only one. That feels comforting

And yes the Skyrim trailer is on of the most epic trailers for a game ever.

Hopefully it won't be the boring, shallow, console-oriented horror of a game that Oblivion was. Even if it's still console-oriented I hope they'll have at least made it fun, with a lot of good back-story and a really weird and interesting setting (pretty sure they've managed the second one) the way Morrowind and its expansions were.
