Activision announced today that its next Call of Duty game — rumored to be Black-Ops related — will be revealed May 1 during the NBA playoffs on TNT. So you know what that means: Let the viral marketing begin. The first piece, in what is sure to be an onslaught, is a special episode of the YouTube series FPS Russia featuring a military quadrotor with a machine gun. It may be fake, but that doesn’t make it any less fun to watch.
"I can tell from the pixels" arguments aside, there are a few things that should be setting off your BS sensors in this video. Mostly that it’s just too good to be true: 30 mph top speed; slim, sophisticated design; unidentifiable weapon; and shockingly good picture quality on the hand-held tablet. Not to mention that this robot would be way ahead of any comparable device available today, nor the ludicrous concept of loading an enormous explosive into a piece of expensive military hardware.
Also, I’m not expert but I don’t think everything explodes when you shoot it.
