The basic idea is borrowed from this (beautiful) Mercedes Benz "Summer" spot, but I think the concept is used really well here. Short of having actual gameplay footage, it's a pretty slick way to hint at what the story might be all about, and it sets a fantastically sinister and sophisticated tone. I give it extra style points for bringing the levels in the elevator back around again for the end title. Smart.
Fans of the first Modern Warfare have been eagerly devouring screen grabs and guessing at possible gameplay options, but my big takeaway is more about the overall mood of the game; an approach like this one gets me thinking of a more grown-up, team-based tactical shooter in the vain of Rainbow Six: Vegas 2, and that's an exciting prospect. There were high expectations before the teaser came out, and seeing it only raises them... hopefully the kids at Infinity Ward are set to deliver the goods in November!
