Call of Duty Modern Warfare Trailer Reaches 20M views in 3 days
- Thread starter dex3108
- Start date
I was about to post this. Creating threads to trumpet YouTube watch counts feels like we're doing the marketing team's job for them.
i think having such a big blowup is kind of expected of call of duty nowadays, so yea, its pretty much useless imo.
fallout 76. it had a massive viewing (and not just from ads like many are saying), but ended up selling horribly for fallout standards..
yes it does, wasnt aware it was used as an ad, this makes the viewcount unreliable then.
Good news for Activision I guess.
Also, fair warning for the posters above that whining about threads is generally against the rules.
Don't like a thread? Don't post in it.

The like ratio is actually pretty good for once. Seems like a lot of people are excited for this!
It is a good indicator of sales but not one that you must use alone.
The thing about sharing these kind of views updates - is that there needs to be meaningful context for it to be discussion-worthy imo.
For example - CoD reveal trailers always do great numbers. So the framing should be:
- How did this viewership do compare to CoD WW2/BLOPS4/AW/IW in the same time-frame?
- The abnormal spike in viewership in the past 24 hours, that increased viewcount significantly - but not in likes. By comparison, CoD WW2 reveal trailer had 23 mil views and 1 mil likes, but this one only has less than half the like amount.
- Importance of these view numbers in context to IP/franchise
For example, CoD is so huge a franchise these numbers are expected. So it's not really all that news-worthy.

Hope that means that, with cross play too, the lesser played modes are fully populated this time around. Kill Confirmed lobbies for days!
It's bad by CoD standards. Though the low ratio is due to ad-boosting.
people gotta be doing something with their time I guess, however irrelevant
Fallout 76 and Mass Effect Andromeda were games with strong metrics. High engagement, a lot of interest, etc etc.It was doing good numbers - relative to the hardcore base. The actual sales turned out to be rather disappointing, due to very negative response in the mid-to-final stage of marketing.
By the way, disappointing sales for Fallout 76 and MEA are still significantly higher than games that had very low views/but high critical reception anyway. Like Hitman 2.
A positive side view is for Sekiro. Its metrics were initially disappointing, I would peg them at around 30% lower than Souls average - but in the last 3-weeks, the game's metrics improved a lot.
Wow, by creating this thread we probably gave the video 10 views. Marketing campaign all good and done!
I think this thread isn't good - but I broadly disagree. Ultimately, these kind of data is very useful as an insight to high-level interest/awareness of games of various sizes and there are a lot of interesting discussions to be had around how people respond to these details.
With the right context, this is good data that is fun to analyse and break down. For example - this is probably the first CoD reveal trailer ever that is 'ad-boosted', that is an interesting discussion point, etc etc.
It's impressive considering that when I search for "Call of Duty Modern Warfare" on youtube I can't find the official version. Only thing that comes up is 1. Gamespots reupload with 6M views. 2-100. Stupid reaction or analysis videos with 10-300k views.
Exactly, also i think this video has less views than IW by the same time, dislikes considered.
We're on a gaming forum, I think just as a matter of fact most of us probably aren't doing anything important just not working or staving off soul-crushing loneliness or whatever the fuck. Might as well post about engagement numbers.
How about it's stupid and pointless for both, who here said it was fine for Sony games and not others? Receipts please!
I remember the days when everyone hated the CoD trailers, they had many dislikes over the Battlefield trailers. Funny how the tables have turned :P
We need to save our precious new threads for the girlfriend reviews street team
Isn't this like the same thing every year? It isn't a surprise. Its the most appealing game for all the casuals worldwide
Not really. WWII was an outliner.It's bad by CoD standards. Though the low ratio is due to ad-boosting.
The most watched and liked game trailer is still BF1 by a huge margin:
