Activision's Call Of Duty Black Ops "There's A Soldier In All Of Us" TV Ad

This great commercial for Call of Duty: Black Ops takes the first-person shooter video game experience to another level with it's ingenious premise of placing everyday people in direct combat scenarios. The spot is funny and the cinematography is top notch, but what really makes this ad work is the classic song "Gimme Shelter" by The Rolling Stones, as it makes the perfect soundtrack to the impressive visuals. The Stone's however don't have much say in the matter as New York-based ABKCO Music & Records holds the rights to the song. They also licensed "Sympathy for the Devil" to be used as background music for scenes inside the game as well.
