It is extremely odd and rather funny that so called detractors of COD always have the need to point it out in a CoD thread. lol |

I'm definitely interested in this and would like to see what they've come up with. Am I right in thinking that Call of Duty games are made on a three year rotation, with each year's game being done by a different developer? If that's the case then I see no issue in the yearly release of CoD games, as the developers are still getting ample time to design them.
I've played Modern Warfare, World at War and Black Ops 3. I actually enjoyed BO3 more than I thought I would, but I definitely crave something more akin to the modern-day setting or at least a historical one. Anything different from the sci-fi-imbued shooter, although that's just personal taste after playing a little too much Destiny back in its first year! Also about this being done in response to Battlefield 1... What's wrong with that? If you ran a business and your main competitor embraced a new way of doing things, which works well for them, you'd be silly not to adapt too surely? |

I watched the trailer.
Surprised they didn't try to outdo the Battlefield 1 trailer. I never even got Battlefield 1 and I was still hyped for it haha. That trailer was amazing! This one just seems like the same old COD stuff… and I'm saying that as someone who stopped playing COD in like 2010 haha If this stuff feels the same to me and it's been over half a decade then I'm not looking forward to it. Beaches of Normandy? Really? I understand that that was a very crucial moment in WW2 but c'mon, we know how that plays out. That's been done in movies and shows and games before. Give me something else. We're playing as the Americans this time around and some stuff about being a squad and dealing with the horrors of war blah blah blah. I just want to kill some Nazis. Show me Nazis being the vile human scum they are and let me completely annihilate them with my tank or my Tommy Gun or Browning Machine Gun. COD W@W is something I still hope they remaster bc I feel like doing that will get more sales than this new game. |

Indeed, been there, done that. What were they thinking?
You may want to check out Wolfenstein the New Order and the Old Blood, they're really good. |

They also set it up so you just loathe them. Just hatred for Nazis in that game. --- I went back and watched the campaign for COD W@W and if this new one can capture the sheer emotion of storming through Germany as the Russians and just destroying everything in your path. Tanks, molotovs, PPSH, Mosin Nagant, etc while just wiping out the Nazis along with the war cries from Reznor and Commissar Markhov. My blood just races thinking about it. "Citizens of Berlin! A ring of steel surrounds your rotten city. We will crush all who dare resist the will of the Red Army. Abandon your posts! Abandon your homes! Abandon all hope! URA!" Just crushing the Nazis all the way to the Reichstag was one of my favorite moments in the COD series back when I enjoyed it. I'm hopeful this new one will be good but I hope it doesn't bore me. |

This is actually one of the primary issues I have with a lot of modern games: Regenerating health without a logical explanation. In Halo for example it makes sense since it's not your health that is regenerating but your energy shields. But most other games that use this mechanic do it without any logical sense. And I wonder if there'll still be a blood-on-the-screen effect instead of a classic health bar. Manual healing in combination with this effect is really annoying, the best example for this is RotTR. Nonetheless I'm not really hyped for this game. I'm not totally against CoD, but I'm part of the minor group that actually likes the sci-fi settings, especially in the Black Ops games. Even though there haven't been many WW II FPSs for years, I feel as if this setting has been beaten to death by a lot of early 2000s shooters. And even without the WW II setting, I'm not a big fan of FPSs within a "realistic" war scenario. Last edited by Wooxman; 28-04-17 at 09:18. |
