Unfortunately, my fears were proven to, at least as far as can be gathered from this trailer, be justified."

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.
But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.
They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.

Modern Warfare 3 look stunning. I know you guys think it's over rated and same old but it's a great game.
One of the greatest shooters ever...
Hey, maybe for future DLC they'll bring back some of the good maps from Modern Warfare 2! Oh...how nice would it be to play Rooftop or Afghan again...especially Afgahn...across the map throwing knife kills for the win! Lol!
This seems to be the common opinion about Call of Duty these days.
