Jetpacks are a minor nuisance compared to this. If it's in MP it has to be perfect. This can change how COD is played.

The industry didn't reject them. It just adopted them last gen in the overall push to make things easier for gamers. Now it's starting to change back. No one lost their shit over The Last of Us not having health regen.
When will a game let me play as a German soldier during WW2 like this?
The one sided loop is getting old but I'm interested to see what they've come up with. Better than SPAAAACE anyway.
Customization sounds like its a bit open-worldy in addition of that image with all those people just standing around.

I'm really intrigued by how they handle MP this year. Like, it sounds like there is more class-based play to encourage folks to handle specific roles within a squad.

Funny how the best FPS of last gen had health packs.
But no multiplayer. A better example is Overwatch but that is a team class game.

That's not Halo...
I'm not sure how people would react to that. Especially with how patriotic these games tend to be. Would be weird to honor Allied veterans and then to shoot them in the next mission.

So now spend half the game searching for health packs lol. There is a reason why regen became the standard, it makes playing the game more enjoyable and less tedious. Most games that had this back in the day also had save anywhere. Don't try to turn cod into arma.

Ok so I was about to complain that this looked boring and generic like every other COD but holy hell that's interesting.
Your squadmembers have various functions, like one guy throws you ammunition.

I wouldn't be surprised if one of them is a medic who can fix you up post battle which would eliminate the need to search for medpacks

And this gen
That's a bad example considering no one talks about it's multiplayer.
Why would you need to honor the Allies?
Make it from a pure German Soldier perspective.
Much more interesting as its hardly been done.
Yea sorry the new order's mutliplayer was much better.
It had multiplayer?

Looks cool. I hope they have some classic COD1 and 2 easter eggs in there or something. Like what if they are all still canon and fighting along side you. That would be the kind of silly I would want.
Speaking of, I wonder if instead of going to back to the future, one of the other COD sub franchises will go weird alt history like Wolf.

Now give the give us custom servers with mod support and of course, dedicated servers. If you do this, I'm fucking listening 
.
But seriously, glad health items are back.

You never played New Order, have you?

I'm not sure they'll go completely back to their roots and give the PC version the focus it deserves lol.
It was a jab because I thought he quoted me and not the New Order, then noticed he did but it was too late to edit.
this lol
R6 Siege seems to be doing just fine player base wise on consoles.

zero chances of this happening in multiplayer, unless they massively change whole mp design.

Health packs? Nice! That really is great.

Playable in MP. Will be this gen's odd job.
They clearly want to go back to the first CoD style, I don't see this having regen in multi and health packs in SP.
Maybe a regen mode?

I'm only down for this if blood and color tint doesn't stay spattered on your screen if you're severely injured. It's barely acceptable with regen but at least it goes away.

Seems minor but that influences everything about the game. Level design, design of encounters and battles, pacing, and so on

You should just fully prepare yourself for MP to be completely separate in terms of realism, you'll see people running around with glowing neon green guns, futuristic guns, weird melee weapons etc. How else is Activation going to milk loot crates?

A child's perspective during WW2 could be amazing but I have my doubts they can pull it off.

Health packs you say? HOLY SHIT! So far, so good!

The first cod's map design was very, very different than the sprint everywhere maze like map design of modern Cod MP tho. Cod1 was more like day of defeat in design. If they actually change MP design to be like Cod1 I'm buying this day 1 but I doubt they will take such a big risk.
Yep that's what I'm expecting. Neon green kar98ks loot crates and such.

Pretty much, and it would be stupid to remove them.
I'm gonna say this is SP only.
No way they do this in MP, if anything, they'll probably have one mode for that but that's it.

It's harder to design levels around health packs. If they're too liberal with them then the game becomes a cakewalk. If they're too stingy then you might have to restart a level. You can easily have a balls hard game with health regen.

I hope French Resistance isn't the only way to play female in MP,
though if so it is better than nothing.

Meh. Asides from its narrative which was great, its combat encounters, environments, and gun feel were mediocre.
Zero interest in a sequel for it.
Gun feel was awesome with a mouse, not sure on pad. Reminded me of old school shooters with proper raw mouse input.
I can see that. It felt awful on a controller, so I am going to assume those who sing the games praises probably played it on PC.
Are we finally returning to the light of UO?
How in hell do you balance a game around both options?

We can only hope. Isn't it funny that one of the best CoD games is also one of the least popular? They should really port it to consoles like they did with CoD1.
