Here’s a pretty incredible live-action trailer for the Tom Clancy collection’s newest video game, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. Thanks largely to the marketing for Halo 3 and Halo: ODST, cinematic spots featuring real people have become the new gold standard for epic game previews.

This may be looking a little far into the future but these are the first images previewing the next-generation Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan and Estate wagon. Showing obvious styling influences from the recently revealed F800 Style concept car, which Mercedes-Benz confirmed would influence the design of its future models, the new C-Class is seen here with a much more fluid, almost sculpted design that should really set it apart from the competition when it arrives in early 2014.
