PROMOTIONAL TRAILER by @Thorvald (El Thorvaldo)

Inspired by e350tb's Call of Duty fan-game and a conversation since lost to dA's non-existent comment search function, "No Russian" was a random jolt of inspiration for a World War III first-person shooter—played as farce. This was posted as a DeviantArt Journal in October 2013; suffice to say, given Russia's performance in the last year, I seem to have managed a far more accurate portrayal of how such a war would play out than anyone imagined. :B

Some day I do intend to sketch that poster. I'd started work on a speculative overview of the game itself à la TB's, but that barely started before I hit a wall on ideas for the actual missions and my priorities shifted elsewhere. If-and-when I clear my slate, I may yet return to it.

RIP whatever description I'd written for Buzzly.
