'Call Of Duty' Trailer Features AC/DC

AC/DC have featured in the official launch trailer for "Call Of Duty: Black Ops II".

Can you guess the song? Why, it's "Back In Black", of course. You can see the trailer in the player below.

The game launches worldwide on November 13 on PS3, Xbox and PC. It is set in the year 2025, and claims to cover "a generation-spanning story that has led to a global conflict unlike ever before."

Meanwhile AC/DC are set to release their first live album in 20 years this November.

"AC/DC Live At River Plate" was recorded in front of nearly 200,000 people over the course of three nights in Buenos Aires in December 2009. It was deviously released as a 19-track live DVD in May 2011, but will now appear as a special edition album.

WOW! STOP THE WORLD!! A commercial used a song?! That's revolutionary!!!

[ItMightGetQuiet]

not quite it's
WOW! STOP THE WORLD!! A commercial used a real rock song?! That's revolutionary!!!

[crazyhorse174]

Not really - didnt one of the previous CoD games use The Stones 'Gimme Shelter' in the ad?

[ItMightGetQuiet]

even if they did, it's news because real rock songs are so rarely used in our mainstream culture.

[BlueIceBox]

Back in Black is quite common in commercials, this is not news.

[ItMightGetQuiet]

not just talking about back in black but rock songs in general, and rock music is probably outnumbered by other music for adverts by 20 to 1.

[Mkorn]

i think the only reason they picked this song is the name, back in black for the second black ops

[Firehawk2410]

Yeah, Black Ops I used music from the Stones both in ads and in the game itself

[MattCox12345]

Another reason for the people who play this to walk around saying they know everything about AC/DC but they actually know **** all

[pantallica87]

Love the fact they're giving us more ZOMBIES!

[xplosive59]

Didn't they use "Shoot to Thrill" in a CoD advert before?

This is nothing new...

[thisaradj]

Or they could have used 'War ensemble'

[Camron62\m/]

THEN it would be worth making an article about it.

[dewitt]

Wouldn't it be more newsworthy to have an article about the new song Avenged Sevendfold put out for this game?

[I.shower.naked]

The song was actually pretty impressive with the loss if the rev.

[dewitt]

It's not the first song they've made without The Rev.
Hell, it's not the first song they've made for Call of Duty without The Rev.

I thought it was ok - not that good but not that bad - but I don't figure it'll be on any new album they might put out, either.

[booby50]

This. It wasn't bad, but as my good friend put it, "it was a step above bad."

[rayven1lk]

Call of Duty: Black Ops II - "The future is Back in Black."

[AlbertJ]

It's unfortunate that the millions of 12 year olds that will play this game probably have never heard of AC/DC.

[EyesWideOpen]

Everyone's heard of AC/DC.

[AlbertJ]

You'd be surprised. Especially with today's youth.

[Rimfrost]

With their Guitar Hero and Rock band, i think they´ve heard of more rock than one would assume.

[Dannystrumpop]

With their hippin and their hoppin and their bippin and their boppin they never knew about the AC/DC.

[Firehawk2410]

I'll second that. My youth peers are all pretty much ignorant of rock music.

[robo37]

It's unfortunate that the millions of 50 year olds that will play this game probably have heard too much of AC/DC.

[RoadRunner939]

Don't get me wrong, I really like AC/DC, but this song just doesn't fit something like CoD.

[powachord]

hey, at least theyre not using a dubstep track

[link no1]

They could have used a newly recorded track featuring Chuck Schulidner, Dio, Cliff Burton and Dimebag and I still wouldn't give a flying f*** about call of duty.

Also, how the hell is this music news?

[EyesWideOpen]

I see what they did there.

[?Loki?]

i thiiink the writeris a CoD faaan

[Rimfrost]

You don´t watch a lot of trailers, do you? :p
Besides, didn´t the mainstream movie Iron Man 2 feature a full Ac/DC score?

[dcstar77715]

its an over used song.
they shoulda gone with Iron Maiden's Where Eagles Dare.
or just an Irona Maiden song. Bruce era, either one of them.

[dcstar77715]

Iron*

[Dannystrumpop]

Share your experiences? Well, bought one of the Modern Warfare games once, went online with it, some child cried for a while and I got called several variations of homosexual and black. I then decided to use the xbox live party function and play Halo instead as teabagging seemed easier.

[Mkorn]

yeah , xbox live is filled with 12 year olds . everyone knows that

[mazturofpuppetz]

I honestly don't like AC/DC at all. They should've used a better band, like Metallica. Disposable Heroes would've been perfect! BRING ON THE DOWNVOTES!

[mazturofpuppetz]

Or Iron Maiden... I can think of quite a few of their songs that would've been better than Back in Black.

[Mkorn]

"a generation-spanning story that has led to a global conflict unlike ever before."
says (almost) every game company about their new FPS

[JFRules]

What they should use is Sabaton!!!

[Turi_the_Dragon]

It seems fitting that a horrendously overrated game franchise would use a horrendously overrated band in their advertising

[CommanderMeaty]

.....**** cod

[NightProwlerr]

If they was going to use an AC/DC song why didnt they use C.O.D.?? :p

[Metalxorxdie]

after COD WaW, the game just went downhill...the zombie gamemode is the only thing going for COD, other than that, it's Battlefield all the way
