Have you guys watched COD WW2 gameplay?

Like most (?) Of you I was excited for this game. COD returning to its roots, boots on the ground and multiplayer resembling the glory days of the series.

I was impressed up until I searched for some gameplay and at first, I thought it was typical YouTube bait and switch. Showing a different game that the title describeds.

Take a look for yourself. There are plenty of other videos available as well, I have not seen them discussed other than the trailer. Everything about it looks so budget. It seems that the series needs a complete reboot, essentially changing everything we know about it other than the name. Does anyone else feel like this a game that would be showcased 10 years ago?

If you're expecting the visuals to compete with what DICE does, then you're of course going to be disappointed. But the impressions i've seen in general about how it actually plays have been really positive. That's what most people are happy about.

watched some multiplayer footage, i believe it was domination gametype. it just kinda reminded me of MW1 with a WW2 paintjob, kinda like how BF1 didn't really feel much different than BF4 to me.

It's pretty weird seeing and hearing females in a WWII shooter since it's very rarely been done in games before, especially when that's all you can hear. Seriously, every ten seconds: "WWAAHHHH". Hopefully they reduce the death screams because it over empowers other essential sounds like explosions and footsteps.

Females wailing is a little weird but I'm not up in arms like the people who are upset at inclusion of them.

The graphics look nice but something about animations...look weird.

Overall I thought it looked fantastic. There is some kind of problem with the animations every once in awhile that made the characters look real weird when they were moving. Like they were hydroplaning a little bit.

It doesn't look good. Normally I wouldn't harp on a game's graphics too much. Ultimately it's not that important. But as a 6v6 mega-budget shooter compared to Dice games which go up to 32v32 it's absurd.

The War mode might be fun. I wish they had restricted the weapons by the faction you're playing. At least in that mode since it's asymmetric anyway. The first bit of War I saw had a guy playing the German side, with an M1 Garand. He fired 4 shots with it, and then reloaded it with the empty clip eject animation w/ ping sound. GTFO with that shit.

Even the stupid Future Garand from BO3 DLC respected the empty clip only reload.

Yeah, I was disappointed when I saw actual gameplay. It's COD but with a WW2 skin on top.


My hype deflated.

Did you really expect anything less? WW2 has been done to death already. I really enjoyed the IW campaign and the BOIII multiplayer but this adds nothing.

Yeah, maybe I was expecting something really different.

I expect a good campaign but more of the same MP.

That war mode is the most interesting thing cod has done in a decade. But it kind of feels like a poor man's battlefield that's more casual and arcadey. That might be good for some people though.

I always enjoy the single player in these games too so I'll play it. Infinite warfare sp was so good.

I keep telling y'all, going back to WWII was a bad idea.

If they stayed true to combat, it'd be boring as fuck to play, so, of course they have to spruce it up, but, that just makes it look like CoD with a skin over it. Hope this is a one-time thing, and we get back to modern warfare.

Looks like the same exact hitscan CoD gameplay to me. With nothing that makes the WW2 setting interesting (planes and tanks in large scale battles).

Was red dot sight used during WWII?

Because that Bar with red dot sight looks absolutely ridiculous.

Well Reflector sight was used during WW2.
That Bar sight looks like Nydar reflex sight.

It looks like modern Call of Duty with a WWII skin.

I miss maps that felt more like a playground.

Edit:
This footage is weird. It's like it's trying to be Battlefield.

Nah, think I'll pass on this. I was hype with the first announcement that CoD was going back to WWII, but this pales in comparison with BF1.

That just looks like they stole this "new" game mode from Wolfestein Enemy Territory, but without the in match progression of your character. So this actually looks 14 years old.

Edit: And it's missing classes. So not particularly impressive this mode.

If you would've told me it's World at War gameplay I'd byte. This shit is getting ridiculous. How can you compete with something like Bf1 or Battlefront with this?

You don't, they are different games. I dislike the big scale of Battlefield that's why I enjoy CoD more.

Looks good to me. I was hoping they'd announce the MWR stand-alone but after seeing this footage, I'll just wait for this to come out.
