    The longer cut of the Exo Zombies Havoc trailer for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare was released a very short time ago by Sledgehammer and Activision today. There's some really insane looking things going on in this trailer, the least of which is John Malkovich.

    Naturally, Xbox owners get the DLC first on January 27. The rest of the world has to wait for an undisclosed later date. I'm guessing it's going to be at least another month of waiting while that gloriously lame exclus...
