Just because COD puts on a negative spin on war doesn't mean its not engaging in glamorization. Bad publicist is sometimes better than good publicist in the eyes of the mass media. I'm probably still gonna play at least once but regardless they've gone too far & I'm sure there are more people who agree with Rocket Edge & myself!
Once again I'm going to point out as JKTrix has that you really can't say they've gone too far at this point since you haven't seen the scene in the context of the game. Nothing that built to that moment is in the trailer so without the context to really show how it's being presented, vilifying the game for it is premature.

And I definitely disagree about COD4 glamorizing war. Like I said before, COD4 showed war for what it is; a dirty despicable thing where there are no heroes and a lot of people end up dying, and not just the bad guys. Hell, at the very end of the game, the majority of the "good guys" are executed by the main antagonist as they lie helpless on a bridge. COD4 does nothing to glamorize war and violence that we haven't seen in countless TV shows, war and action movies, or other games which actually do glamorize war and violence by not showing any of the negative consequences. If anything, given the fact that almost every character in COD4 dies a very non-glamorous death by the end, it does quite the opposite of glamorizing war.
