Graphics-wise and general design-wise, there's quite a lot of pretty drastic changes present in the trailer. They've changed up the HUD a bit, and the new design seems pretty nice, the weapon textures are better, and it seems that even the old weapons have had a redesign (we saw what looked like an AK varaint, could have been an AN, reload was different to previous ones and it had a completely new model), the other new additions seem to be very nice, and a lot of good things are coming back. If the rest of it is as pretty as what they showcased, then it could very much take over for MW3.

I'd say that now's the time to put aside prejudice and just look at it as if it were not made by Treyarch. If it were any other company, I'm sure that many of the naysayers around BOII would change their tune were they to do so.
