I don't think that's actually a problem given how Grand Theft Auto V sells, or the kind of lasting reception The Deer Hunter had.
Like this game will presumably include such things as firebombing civilian cities with millions of people in them, and might even have you dropping nuclear weapons on Japan.

I enjoyed the AW story but I hated the MP. I'm hoping they do something different with the WW2 setting this time around.

If the weapons they added to Advanced Warfare over the last two years are any indication they've been working on WW2 for a while.
Also, hopefully the next Battlefield game will be 1944 now and not another WW1 game.

Not at all which is exactly why I said I could see them doing future CODs on the Switch.
It is highly unlikely this game however is
You mean the engine they update every year? There is nothing wrong with that engine imo. Infinite warfare looks great.

I need an eye exam asap because I somehow missed the second part of your post entirely. My apologies, good fellow.
Micro transactions will go away when people stop spending money on COD points (or whatever it will be called in COD 2017) In other words never.

The best thing they could do is let IW keep doing Infinite Warfare and have Treyarch go to modern. So that every year we get a different setting. If they were to all go back to Modern or all back to WW2, we will be back in the same spot as before.

I don't think most players have the balls for a realistic depiction of the germans in world war 2.
Game devs don't have the balls to do it because massacring unarmed men, woman, and children isn't compelling gameplay.

Yep, Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway, Medal of Honor: Airborne, and World at War were really the last gasps of the AAA WW2 shooters - and all of those were released in 2007-2008. But even by 2007 the industry had largely moved on, what with the success of Battlefield 2 and COD4.
I feel like 2005 is when the WW2 shooter fatigue had really begun to settle in, and that was only after 6-7 years. We've been going at this modern/futuristic thing for a decade now.

I don't really care about what particular setting it is, I just hope it won't limit the variety of guns, customizations, perks and killstreaks in MP. It's the main reason I continue to play COD every year instead of other MP games.

Oh hey, it's that BiA: Hell's Highway pose.
Red Orchestra 2's the only FPS with a German 'campaign' (being generous here) that I can think of off the top of my head. I can understand the desire to shy away from it.

I am hoping the next battlefield game is ww2.
Can't be worse than IW which, allegedly, infinity ward spend three years making.

I have a great feeling about this. This year keeps delivering.
What you talking about? there's still a lot of people that play.

Maybe they'll put in references to these talking points:

The thirst for some grounded COD in a historic setting is pretty real.
Uh... you do realize that Black Ops 2 is set in 2020 right? It's still future...

But iirc, there's a lack of robot legs, so you don't wallrun, jump whatever.
They already did that and it had a huge uproar (no russian).
I think devs think they can only lose if they had major parts of a WW2 game as germans. Either you are getting called out for lessening the holocaust or you are seen as showing too much violence.
I think call of duty wouldn't dare to have you commit war crimes on the scale germans in WW2 did, after all the player is always supposed to feel as a hero.

it is but most of the futuristic shit from the campaign never even made it into mp.
mp just played like a post modern game.

The majority of BLOPS2 takes place in 2025 though.The thirst for some grounded COD in a historic setting is pretty real.
Yeah but his statement specifically said thirst for a boots on the ground in historical setting, ignoring that BO2 isn't historical lol.

If this does too well they'll likely force more microtransactions stuff etc harder since they already got good press meaning they can slide this stuff in without much backlash
They were more rewarding with Infinite Warfare since it had alot bad press and less sales compared to Black Ops 3
