In this live action spot edited by Jim Haygood of Union, directed by Joseph Kosinski of Reset, and created via Leo Burnett, characters from the game are transporting some sizable cargo to a remote desert location. The contents are unknown to the team, until they – and the container – parachute down to the ground. As the container hits the dirt, we see the unmistakable HUMMER logo. Sure enough, the new GMC HUMMER EV rolls out of its hold, a squad of four hops into the vehicle and the driver shouts, “Adios, amigos!” as they leave two opposing team members in the middle of nowhere. “You see any more of those?” asks a bewildered commando.
