Holy S**t
If you've started reading this before watching the trailer at least two more times, stop, go back, and watch it. Now watch it again. I'll wait for you. Watched it? Take a few minutes to recover. That was one of the most powerful minutes I have seen in a trailer this year. It wasn't flashy, and it wasn't over the top. The reason why it's so jaw dropping is because it was so damn REAL. The issues were real, and terrorism is very real. These "Patriots" even believe that they are liberators of some kind by strapping a bomb to a dude's chest and tossing him out a window to explode on a crowded city street.
Between this trailer and the "early look" one we got to see last month, this game has me totally sold and looks like it could be Tom Clancy's best to date. The narrative (as of now) doesn't seem forced, and this debut trailer was both amazing and terrifying. My only concern that the realism of the terrorism (I mean for goodness sake you can hear people screaming in horror when the bomb goes off and you can actually see some people getting blown up) is going to raise some concerns from the big wigs in Capitol Hill. Hopefully Patriots can be crafted in such a way that we can keep the intensity and realism from this trailer and still get it onto shelves, cause 2013 is a long time to wait.
