Played every single one at launch since MW1. Not sure if it's a matter of it always being that bad and the competition just runs so much smoother its more noticeable now, or if it's the extremely low TTK in Infinite Warfare that makes it seem even worse. Feel like it wasn't as bad in past games but then nostalgia and all, those were also strictly P2P so who knows. Just know in 2017 it's absolutely unacceptable and the fans deserve better.

Looks like what I pictured when thinking COD in WW2.
It's how this franchise is. I really don't know what else you expect.
They aren't going to go with giant maps and vehicles since that's what battlefield does and they aren't going to make a super realistic and slow WW2 games since that's not what COD is about or what COD players want

It's still a bit far-fetched for my tastes - suppressors and red dot sights everywhere, Mausers with detachable magazines, and if I'm completely honest, the sound of women in combat shouting was more jarring than I was expecting - but I'm still very excited to play it. I'm so glad World War Two is is getting much more attention from developers and the community alike recently.

Looks amazing, reminds me of COD 1 and 2, visuals looks amazing in campaign tbh...

Yeah, I think it's kind of weird when they talk about how accurate their game is, it's not like BF1 where nobody pretends the game's trying to be accurate. There's also the fact that the Nazis fielding women and minorities kind of whitewashes their crimes and ideology.
I really wish these games would jut drop the pretense of accuracy, just make it a straight-up dieselpunk fantasy game. I'd kill for a Battlefield game based on this:

Nope, IW should much better than BF1, despite the negativity.
Easily a day 1 purchase. Any news on Score streaks or Kill Streaks. I prefer Kill Streaks btw 😬 And I hope they aren't broken and compliment the game play, I'd actually enjoy seeing a locked 3, 5, 7 again.
I hope there are some additional Hardcore modes added. Maybe War could work in HC idk. Either way I've never passed up on a COD and most likely never will.

Noticed a lot of complaints about women and black people in the German army, as well as maps being small, but the game overall seems like a back to roots kind of game.
Extremely skeptical of supply drops and poor maps.

Honestly I think it's looking really good so far. Excited to try the beta and find out for myself.

Looks fine, not budget at all.

Graphically, design and scale-wise, yeah it's showing age big time. They sorely need a new engine, but have no incentive really.

That vid looks good. The mode seems interesting if not a little weird, but gameplay looks exactly as I expected.

So this mode is just Operations on a tiny scale? lol.
Yeah, the trailer looked great but everything about the gameplay, including the visuals look quite aged. It does look like old school COD though and that's a good thing. We'll see.

Imagine, if there were players, that did not enjoy large scale battles.
Mind blown.
It looks fine to me, it's a game designed to be 6v6(mostly) and run at 60fps on current gen consoles at 1080p. It's not going to look insane.

It looks like CoD, but that's not a bad thing. This looks more focused on gun play and less on all the gimmicks in their latest games. It'll be the first CoD I buy since BO2.

Looks good to me. I just want to be able to enter a building and clear it room by room, corner by corner, without having to worry about someone flying through a door way, over the top of my head, with an exo suit jetpack.
The combination of high mobility low time to kill and tight maps in the previous games just didn't work. It felt too chaotic and unpredictable for me. Maybe I would have gotten into the swing of them had I given more time, but I just hated it, and I did try for at least a few hours on all of them.

I'm with you OP, that game looks a decade old at least. They need to seriously take a few years off and come up with a modern engine.

This has been my thought throughout since the original reveal. It's exactly what we should expect, given the game and it setting. It's Call of Duty set during WWII. Better or worse.
Cod engines improve with each new iteration.

I expect a lot more out of CoD visually if they have small maps, no destruction, no vehicles, and only 12 players. It's significantly less computationally complex but we are getting nothing in return for the cuts in these areas. The series is just stagnating, not even from just a gameplay point of view but also technologically. Even their sound doesn't compare to Battlefield. You gotta do at least one thing better.

Looking good, First time I've played MP on COD since BO2.

I love Pokken!
Joke post right? No way those are in the game.
I watched footage and I kept saying something doesn't feel right. I think most of the thread has put it in words for me, it looks dated. Especially compared to BF1. Not sure how this iteration is going to go over with hardcore COD folks, BUT, from impressions I've read a lot of the YouTubers were impressed with what they played.
I would love to play COD WW2 just for this ETW inspired mode alone but I wouldn't be surprised if the mode dies out in half a year.

I think the visual fidelity is pretty neat. Nothing groundbreaking of course, but it has a certain, "crisp" look to it that IW was missing due to the odd stylistic choice of film grain (I know you can shut it off in IW, but I much rather play how the developer intended me to play it).
The two major draws of COD for me anyways is how responsive the controls are, and how easy it is to play while you're occupied with something else. I could be looking at something on my laptop or be playing music while in a match, and still manage to finish as the match MVP with no major issue.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic are not, we're talking about the same series where you can call in a nuke to end a game instantly after 25 consecutive kills or call in a horde of invincible dogs..

From what I see, it is what I want CoD to be. I am going to play the shit out of this game.

I'll probably end up buying if it has a good campaign, but nothing they've shown so far has peaked my interest. Are people actually exited for this? I remember actually seeing more discussion for the last game.

I heard that about Infinite War's campaign, picked it up, and found that while it was a little better than some of the previous COD campaigns it still paled in comparison to what we got with Titanfall 2 and Doom last year.
I liked World at War's gameplay back in the day, but I think this one will be a RedBox for me, too.
This. Exactly this. Still has the floaty feel. I think without the futuristic lights/lazers/explosions the game would look like this. Bland. Not my World at War successor, sorry.
