MTW2 E3 Trailer in HD quality

[Husar]

It may be the same video as the one on the .com(didn´t watch that), but it´s very good quality and you can see a lot of details here.
In my opinion it looks just great, I like high resolutions.

Well, here´s the link

Sexy.

I shouldn't say that. It just encourages them.

97 megabytes? Not sure I can be bothered with the dl...

Can someone confirm whether or not it's just a high res version of the ones we've already seen?

[Zenicetus]

We saw part of this in the earlier videos, but there is much more in this high-res clip. There is a nice camera pan into the castle (which looks great!), with a shot of the portcullis being raised. It shows the attacking army approaching through a narrow gorge (Man, I hope that terrain is in the randomly generated battles!!!), and some kind of multi-barrel rocket artillery being fired.

It took about 4 minutes to download on broadband. It sure is impressive looking, but I don't know how much CA has fudged this with video editing or "illegal" camera angles. There is no way that you'd get these ground-level shots in the RTW camera engine.

Stuff is happening awfully fast. It looks great if this was a trailer for a CGI theatrical movie, very "Braveheart"-ish..... but I'm wondering how you'd give any tactical commands in realtime, to what I'm seeing here.

<edit> After watching it a few more times, I think it might just be the fast-paced editing they're using, and maybe not a problem with the game engine running too fast. I could cut together a clip from RTW that looked like this, and it wouldn't represent the actual pacing of the battles.

It's very bad quality when I watch it. The screen blurs every time the camera moves fast.
But I still got a glimpse of the movie and it has been released already but it was replaced with the shorter version that you all saw.

WOW

That was amazing, I think I will need a new graphics card for this game to give it justice.
The video is one minutes 28 seconds.
And shows a turkish (Ottomans I guess) attack on a castle and the battle that took place. Very very very nice graphics. And in HD full screen - awesome.

[Ibn Munqidh]

AWSOME!!! Really good video, showing a full seige batte. Remember that 7-second video? That was only a small part of this 1min 27second video.

Really, you should download it, its worth it.

I have broadband, but a 97 meg dl will probably take me 20-30 minutes I would guess. Obviously all broadbands weren't created equal

Edit: Make that 30 minutes. Oh well, it's still beats dial-up by a country mile

[Ludens]

Is it just me or is this video really choppy?

Edit: task manager says that WMP suddenly uses all available system resources when playing this video. What is going on?

[Mount Suribachi]

I think I need to change my underwear.......

Of course, it doesn't tell us how the AI is, and it doesn't show us the strategy map But kudos to CA for releasing such a hi-res video, it looks amazing

Something is messed up with your computer. Its exerting all processor power to play the video. Likely causes: a virus.

Okay I watched it, it looks great! (although the movement of some soldiers looks a bit stiff at times - and those buildings are still crumbling much too easily).

But then, I remember how good the vids for RTW looked, and the game wasn't nearly as impressive. So we'll just have to wait and see I guess.
