Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare comes out November 4th and Activision has figured out a new approach to keep the world's most successful shooter game in the public eye.

Spacey plays the head of a private military company that's gone rogue. Echoing his House of Cards Frank Underwood character, Spacey declares, "Power determines who is right. I have the power, so I'm right."

Further details about improvements and innovations in gameplay will have to wait for the E3 video games conference next month in Los Angeles.
