CoD with a Canadian? How odd.

why does he look like the underachieving step-brother crashing his more acomplished brother's wedding with the "dad always liked you more..." speech?

gooberbaby

Minority Report: Everybody Runs, oof!

yokoland

Judging by that flower, I am guessing someone made him a bitch when he was in jail?

And smoking two cigs is a great way to not have them stolen in jail.

How do I know this? My Mom, Dad, Sisters, Brother, Uncle, Aunt, and Grandmother are all in jail as I type.

And you wonder why I am so fucking angry all the time.

Cut me some slack.

Than I'd say, maybe we can give them another chance (?) I still want to like COD5 though since I'm a big fan of the series and own them all.

kylo4

Well that is the only reason I need not to buy CoD5.

No celebrities in my video games, please... Or at least get ones that usually do voice acting.

Blaaguuu

I can only think of him saying "WHERE THE HELL IS FAYED?!"

Arelan

COD4 + flamethrowers + Jack Bauer = COD5!

"Dammit! Chloe, open up the switchboard."

@kylo4: They've made other games other than COD3, you know. They were all rushed shovelware budget crap like COD3, though.

dowingba

Well, I hope I am proven wrong that Treyarch makes crappy, budget placeholder games because Infinity Ward was hanging out with Playboy Bunnies instead of making games, with Quantum of Solace and Kiefer-fueled World at War.

michaelleung

We can give them another chance, can't we? They seem to be trying now at least with Spider-man: Web of Shadows, what could be fun, Quantum of Solace. I just hope they don't screw this COD up. 3 was so incredibly buggy and like a 2.5 that it was a bit of an embarrassment. I'll buy COD5 if it's good, and I can do WW2 one last time. But they better make it live up the name.

kylo4

@Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.: You never played Advance Wars: Days of Ruin, I guess.

dowingba

Treyarch tries so hard..

beem

@Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.: why would you want that ?

izzy_k

I love Kiefer Sutherland. We can all hope he says damn't at least every few seconds.

Sammo21

I wish -I- had a flower growing out of my groin.

Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.

Luke... i'm not even gonna ask about that picture.

"not that there's anything wrong with that .."

izzy_k

Can this be enough for people to actually give it an eye. With COD4 doing so well and COd3 not being that great. I think a lot of misinformed people will go out and buy this.

^^ Gotta love Kiefer Sutherland :D

If you're wondering, that's from "I Trust You To Kill Me" a documentary about Rocco Delucca and the Burden and Kiefer Sutherland.

He'll have 1 line:
"I feel like a spare prick at a gang bang!"

Teyarch are trying to steal Killzone 2's thunder.

Asaron

@QuiLink: scum

Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.

@gooberbaby: More like the underachieving son of Donald Sutherland, who's worked with probably some of the greatest directors in the world.

yokoland

Bad idea because everyone is just going to hear Jack Bauer shooting Japanese not Cpl. Nobody.

GreyFoxV1

"Gold Spamer" in Kotaku... well thats probably the only thing i had left to see here, that and dogs riding skateboards.

Got to love the Kief, only if he could stay out of jail so we could see how they are going to pull it off in 24, with the Zombie Tony and all.

Krumm

Its gonna take more than that to make me even think about touching this one.

Get good ol' Donald Sutherland in there and we'll talk.

Sniper_Zegai

I giggled at the smaller pic on the front page, but was a little weirded out when I saw the larger pic after hitting the jump.

I think... I think I'm gonna lie down.

Moridin

Well, this should make for a nice episode of Twenty-fo...er...Call of Duty.

AndrewG009

Nice, Sutherland is a wonderful voice actor.

belo

The most patriotic american is canadian...

SpacemanSpiffyPants

@beem: And this is a bad thing? jesus man. Who would you want to do the VO, Uwe Boll? This is GREAT news, Kiefer is a great voice actor, as is his father.

Shabat0ge

He is double fisting cigarettes. No wonder how he was that cool scratchy voice. He smokes 2 at the same time, not even one right after the other.

Dude is pimp.

Import98

Hey that's Activision Blizzard now bud!

jk.don't hurt me.

Chewbenator

24 hours to save the world several times over... War shouldn't be a problem.

Pi-face

To elaborate, i'd be more excited to learn Cam Clarke would be in this than Kiefer Sutherland. Like Tycho said in a post a while back, "We Have Our Own Subculture With Its Own Celebrities". Instead of trying to jam pop cult celebrities into our games, they should do whats right and elevate the existing talent, some of which is really bloody good.

So many composers, voice talent and sound people in this industry don't get anywhere near enough credit for how they've elevated the artform. This kind of shit just goes to say some of the higher ups simply aren't capable of realizing that they could be making NEW celebrities rather than feed off the existing ones.

Sunjammer

So in what way does celebrity voice acting help a game?

Sunjammer

Awesome! I could actually be tempted to pick up this game.

"DAMN IT CHLOE THE GERMANS ARE WINNING"

GiantEnemyCrab

Kiefer Sutherland? WHY?

Hows abouts you spend your money on making a good game, instead of populating your inevitably mediocre rehash of a game with a good voice actor?

Besides, using Hollywood talent in a game like CoD is completely ruinous to the fiction of the franchise. There's no better way to break the immersion you've strived to create for 5 games now by adding a very recognizable voice to a character that was supposed to be alive over 60 years ago.

It completely destroys the "immersion" factor when I recognize a voice actor in a videogame. It simply serves to remind me that I am playing a game and creates a disconenct between me and the environment I am supposed to be vicariously inhabiting.

That said industry? STOP HIRING KIETH DAVID. We're all sick of him, as The Arbiter, as a Saint, as whoever-his-otherwise-forgettable character in Mass Effect was. He's played out!

/end of rant

Treyarch should just call it Call of Duty: 24 or Call of Duty: The Lost Boys, and then never, ever make a CoD game again... please.

@Sunjammer:
Exactly.

@yokoland:
Yeah, but he's worked with Joel Schumacher... more than once, and even after he ruined Batman. That pretty much cancels any and all possible cred in my book!

stranger

just cuz keif is in this game, ill give it a shot. trey if u screw this up, im done wit u forever.

maraxusofk

At first, I was like -- what the hell is on his wing-wang. But now I see Kiefer just has a flower down his pants. Dam, where they get this picture from? The poor bastard looks like he's drunk and singing to his girlfriend.

"Baby, I'm sorry
Baby I need you
That girl was just some hooker,
