Pretty ok, I guess. Not really amazed or any positive feelings towards this since it's Activi$ion here we're dealing with.

I hope that's not the final name.

They really need to come up with something to make it fun to play.

While also trying to not alienate their fans.

Spartan · April 22, 2017, 01:22:25 PM

it's clearly world war 11

Super Irish · April 22, 2017, 02:19:37 PM

Meh.

Either it's a remastered W@W and I couldn't GAF, or it's going to add some wacky mechanic that doesn't fit in with the setting.

Hell I'd half expect them to have a return of vehicular combat (tanks/planes) and claim it was a new innovation like those moving fish.

Can't wait to have a rainbow colored MP40 and have my Wehrmacht soldier dabbing at the end of matches

that image screams 'we want the american bro audience'

Naru · April 22, 2017, 02:39:49 PM

i hope they add jetpack prototypes to the game

Well Sledgehammer was originally going to make either a WWII or Vietnam themed game and already had the foundations for it but Activision was like "No! Jetpacks, lasers, and future!" and Advanced Warfare happened.

There's already a large portion of the CoD community that has wanted a WWII game since World at War and Activision has already alienated the rest with the future garbage nobody wants.

Luciana · April 22, 2017, 03:07:56 PM

Until I see gameplay, I'm skeptical because of this

"Fast paced combat"

I just have a feeling it'll be the same paintball tier gameplay CoD is now and not be fun.

I like WWII games. I wanna see from German perspective though.

Jet Wave · April 22, 2017, 03:52:48 PM

Why does everyone want to go back to WW2? I don't get it.

Misunderstanding of why the new games suck
Fans think it's the setting and not the sterilized slot machine gameplay that's dragging the series down
This COD will play exactly the same as BOIII and IW no doubt

It's all about rotation. WW2 games were the only things that kept happening back in the early 2000's so people got tired of em. CoD 4 more or less kicked the genre to the modern/future stuff. But that's been going on for like 6 or 7 years, so people are tired of the same futuristic shit and yearn for a more classic setting.

Well people weren't stocked about another modern military shooter Battlefield as well, and loved it was going back in the past. I think people just like that setting stuff as well.

The new games suck because we don't like the gameplay changes. We want CoD to stay how CoD is and not try to be the retarded brother of Titanfall and Halo that it's been trying to be the past few years. The setting plays a role in that with the jetpacks and other future shit.

Dude, but the fish were revolutionary.

They could move away when you invaded them

Gatortag · April 22, 2017, 07:34:28 PM

I want to see gameplay. May get it. It's still going to be the same COD, just no future crap. Which works for me, if single player is good, we could have a great game. It would be hard to screw up the MP.

The last few CoD's have proven that to be not true.

Coco · April 22, 2017, 09:14:34 PM

I'm hoping this is a WWII shooter with an enhanced mobility jetpack system. The trainwreck would be so amusing.

Deleted · April 22, 2017, 11:39:22 PM

Cant wait to open up some supply crates to Unlock the M1 Grand inferno that is fully automatic with an X-Ray Scope and has homing rounds, a built in heartbeat sensor and a suppressor somehow.

Funny because BF1 plays exactly like all the modern setting BFs
It's full of prototype weapons that performs exactly like modern assault rifles, SMGs, LMGs, shotguns, and snipers

COD is in a lose lose situation right now because the fanbase is cancer
They love the easy instant gratification COD gives them but they also want "change"

If Activision allows COD to change, they lose the fanbase
If Activision keeps COD the same, the fanbase will bitch and moan

Not to mention the fact that it's still at the mercy of the massive bandwaggon that will shit on it simply for Having CoD in the name.

It still maintains the core gameplay, but it took away a lot of the things that made people annoyed with the modern things, such as heat seeking missiles and auto lock on. It made things more analog (if that's the right word) to where you actually had to aim your shots and be accurate, like the older shooters used to have, rather than just point and shoot. It also made it so machine guns didn't just dominate and bolt action/semi-auto are actually just as viable as other weapons.

That's what you get when you release games yearly. Assassins Creed suffered the same thing until they were smart enough to realize it was going to shit on the same yearly release trend. CoD could easily do with a two year cycle rather than the sports yearly one. I'd allow more things to actually happen in game, and people wouldn't feel it's a sports game kinda thing. A year is very short in the gaming world.
