I know I’m a little tardy to the party on this one. I don’t know how I missed this clever marketing stunt but check it out for yourself with the video below.

This highly amusing Call of Duty parody is a push for the recently released game, Bulletstorm. Incidentally Bulletstorm is freakin awesome and I highly recommend checking it out.

I wouldn’t really call it a “hater” parody. I mean you could parody any game like that and make it look dumb. I love CoD as much as anyone and found this hilarious 🙂

True, I just saw it as a veiled attempt to boost sales by going after the biggest dog in the park. Lets bring attention to our game by making fun of this record breaking franchise for all the reasons its popular. In the end, Bulletstorm came out to strong reviews and is selling well, which is good, I just think it would have done just as well without a cheap publicity stunt.
Hopefully this will light a fire under IW and 3Archs asses by starting a small rivalry, which will make them come out harder with their future games, COD or otherwise.
