What kind of trailer is this? On November 10, the latest installment of the popular shooter series, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, will be released. Just under a month before the official release, Activision showed the multiplayer of the upcoming title for the first time in a two-minute trailer.
Along with familiar shooter action and various insights into the maps, operators, gadgets, and weapons, the new trailer managed to evoke nostalgic feelings among fans.

How does the trailer evoke nostalgic feelings among fans? We have known for some time now that the upcoming Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 will be released with a total of 16 maps from CoD MW2 from 2009.
As if that wasn’t enough reason for joy for CoD veterans, the multiplayer trailer presents itself with the perfect musical accompaniment: ‘Till I Collapse’ by the American rapper Eminem.
When it came to the choice of music, for some fans on social media, it seemed almost irrelevant what the developers showed in the trailer, because it is the same song that played during the launch trailer of the original Modern Warfare 2 in 2009.
Here are a few reactions from CoD fans on Twitter:
- „OG MW2 maps and Eminem music, tears.”
- „They even used a song by Eminem for the trailer. Just like 2009, it’s the little things…”
- „They are using a song that became famous during the MW2 era. So nostalgic!”
- „They are doing everything to hit the nostalgia with the MW3 hype!”
- „Bringing Eminem back for the trailer was the best thing they could have done.”
Besides the song that could really excite many fans, players noticed another detail in the new trailer that they are looking forward to: it seems that the slide-cancel is back (via Twitter).
The slide-cancel is a movement technique that allows players in CoD to transition from a tactical sprint into a slide, then interrupt the slide to sprint immediately afterward. The faster tactical sprint was reset because of this.
However, in Call of Duty MW2, the slide-cancel was removed and was no longer possible. Some players missed their technique, while others got creative and found a new trick:
CoD MW2: ‘Slide-canceling’ was yesterday – ‘snaking’ is the new movement trick of the pros
