Support NeoGAF

[fr0st]

I said this in another thread...WW2, why always WW2. Are companies that afraid to do something new? Who not try Vietnam or something else?

Black ops 1 was Vietnam

 

[strafer]

This scene again... LOL. It will be interesting to see whether they go with the rehash of popular WWII scenes, let's do the same scene but from a supporting troop's PoV, OR, the ever popular, hey, here's another battle you didn't know about trope.

We could play as the other side. We jumped around in Call of Duty 2.

 

[Col.Asher]

WaW still the best CoD MP though

I loved the German announcer yelling everything, "OUR DOGS WILL TEAR THEM TO SHREDS!"

 

[Caffeine]

Black ops 1 was Vietnam

it was vietnam into cold war.

 

[Hux1ey]

Black ops 1 was Vietnam

Well..sort of.

We could play as the other side. We jumped around in Call of Duty 2.

A WW2 game playing as Germany would be pretty cool actually, have there been any before?

 

[t hicks]

Yeah I always like to rent and play through the COD campaigns every year, so I'm hoping this one is solid BOIII's was really bad, but I liked AW/IW a lot

 

[orichalcos]

WWII. Nooo.

 

[MorshuTheTrader]

No i think its because America lost Vietnam is why its a rare breed

Not sure if that's a big influence. Plenty of Vietnam cinema has been successful in the US, they'd just have to take the right tone.

 

[Yu Furealdo]

I can't wait to see what Sledgehammer has been cooking up

 

[Hermii]

Yes, they do.

Also, top right

Rumor: Call of Duty: WWII to launch on November 3rd

Lol, d day confirmed then. As if that hasn't been done to dealth. They will never top the original SPR scene anyway.

 

[Okami Haundo]

Yes, they do.

Also, top right

Rumor: Call of Duty: WWII to launch on November 3rd

Dear lord is Sony prepped for this fall then... PS4 has the lock on marketing rights for all the biggest third party games.

Getting back on topic, I'm really pumped to see this reveal. Really curious to see how they handle things.

 

[soultron]

Might be my first COD since MW3. Interested to see what they're planning for this since they won't have the advanced mobility stuff from recent CODs.

 

[Brazil]

Finally a new Call of Duty Wii

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

Any info on what systems this will release on? Xbone, PS4, PC, even Switch? Also any word on Scorpio and Pro upgrades?

 

[Hermii]

We could play as the other side. We jumped around in Call of Duty 2.

We never played as non allies.

 

[Eylos]

Ughhh normandy

 

[LordBaztion]

I was thinking to play some FIFA's the journey today but this changed my mind, tonight is MoH Airborne night.

 

[VisceralBowl]

Might be my first COD since MW3. Interested to see what they're planning for this since they won't have the advanced mobility stuff from recent CODs.

part of me wants a time travel twist with the crazy movement shoehorned in.

imagine the outrage.

 

[Hoodbury]

Yeah, the BO3 campaign was horrible. I realy loved the mp though, and in the end thats still what I play CoD for.

I wonder if this CoD will still have map packs, with Battlefront 2 moving away from them.

It'll probably have map packs though.

I hope so too but I feel CoD will stick with map packs for another year or two before following the new trend.

Call of Duty and World War II: A Brief History

 

[Darklor01]

We could play as the other side. We jumped around in Call of Duty 2.

Yeah, there is that. It would be interesting if they decided to add air support roles where you can fly, but they'd risk becoming labeled as followers to Battlefield.

 

[Alienous]

They should tell the story of how those metal spike things ended up on the beach.

 

[Loxley]

It'll be refreshing to not play as Super Black Ops Tacticool Badass #5234 and go back to being a regular grunt that's just another cog in the wheel again, since that's what West and Zampella created the series for to begin with.

Hopefully we'll also bounce around the globe again and play a number of different soldiers in the war - perhaps even from the German side.

 

[Xando]

We could play as the other side. We jumped around in Call of Duty 2.

I'd like to see them explore the german side of WW2. Especially the period from 39-42/43 could be interesting because they were on the offensive in that period. Switch to russian/allied forces after to show them on the offensive.


Don't think gamedevs will have the balls to show a realistic depiction of germans in WW2 though.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

all aboard the Higgins Hype boat cause we are fucking storming Normandy to kill some Nazis! Or American if you're on the German side in MP

 

[SMOK3Y]

Cause making a game where the US is a violent aggressor dropping chemical weapons on their under equipped enemies and raping and pillaging their ways through villages probably won't sell as well in the US:

Glenn was saying they were making one, but that they kept getting informed the war was extremely unpopular in Europe, and that this was going to be a problem.

Well im not from Europe.. but it was an unpopular war but mainly because of the things Fantaspotamus said above

 

[IISANDERII]

Last game this studio made was Advance Warfare 😓

Hope they're still not using that same fucking old engine.
Also hope there won't be pay2win micro transaction bullshit.

 

[Hispanic! At the Disco]

Theres only like 8 modern/futuristic cod's. Only 6 in a row too!

Why make a 6th WW2 CoD? We already had 3 years in a row of WW2 CoDs! Was really hoping we'd have future/modern CoD's for 9 years in a row instead of this lame 8 years in a row.

Hopefully its just a one time thing and there isnt another WW2 shooter for at least another 8 years, they do them too much.

 

[Hermii]

They should tell the story of how those metal spike things ended up on the beach.

They are tank blockers.

 

[MorshuTheTrader]

We could play as the other side. We jumped around in Call of Duty 2.

I think they could do some really interesting things story-wise if they jumped around to the other side, and I don't think they'd be afraid to considering things like No Russian.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Hoping this doesn't feel like blops and has its own personality.

I said I was odd of cod but of course the one thing that could bring me back happens. I still expect their to be those horrible lootboxes as well as wall running.

 

[Hux1ey]

Hope they're still not using that same fucking old engine.

They probably always will be.

 

[CriterionDog]

ew i'll pass. enough of this WW crap. even after the long break it's still not enough. i won't be buying another Battlefield/Cod game until they go back to modern/futuristic settings.

Don't worry we got plenty of those

 

[MilkyJoe]

ew i'll pass. enough of this WW crap. even after the long break it's still not enough. i won't be buying another Battlefield/Cod game until they go back to modern/futuristic settings.

Oh you

 

[Fachasaurus]

I'll be playing BF4 for a few years yet it seems.

Hoping BF5 brings back the modern feel to it. BF1 just doesnt feel good to me.

I have higher hopes for this than BF1. Hopefully it looks good. We will see!

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

ew i'll pass. enough of this WW crap. even after the long break it's still not enough. i won't be buying another Battlefield/Cod game until they go back to modern/futuristic settings.

Hopefully you'll never buy another Battlefield or COD then.


Leave the sci-fi stuff to Star Wars.

 

[WilsonX100]

the title is atrocious. but im excited to see how it turns out. maybe itll be something different in terms of what parts of WW2 we see. although i wont be upset with the typical battles and settings in todays graphics.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I will remain unhyped for this until more information comes out. This could be interesting, or it could be mediocre. But maybe that is me trying to be realistic about this game.

 

[ViciousDS]

I am so fucking ready for WW2 again,


I like futuristic games......but I don't like CoD futuristic games. The wall running and shit in multiplayer is straight trash

 

[Caffeine]

Hope they're still not using that same fucking old engine.
Also hope there won't be pay2win micro transaction bullshit.

they most likely are and there will be. even cod remastered had micro.

 

[Hux1ey]

Hopefully you'll never buy another Battlefield or COD then.


Leave the sci-fi stuff to Star Wars.

2142 was GOAT though.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

Remember guys, they saw DICE release a WWI game last fall and wuz like oh shit and put this together in 6 months. Gun b shyte.

 

[Richie]

I mean it's going to be the same engine Infinite Warfare was on and I don't see how the Switch could run Infinite Warfare.

Not saying a Switch version is impossible but it's extremely unlikely. If Switch keeps selling great then in say another year or 2 I could see them optimizing / changing the engine in order to make Switch versions

If it looks anything close to last year it's not gonna be on Switch or be the same version as the other 3.

Have we already forgotten this very franchise had multiplatform releases across the PS360 and the Wii, who were a great deal far more apart in muscle than the Switch and the PS4/One?

If they deem it worthy of their time it'll come one way or the other.

 

[YuriLowell]

so just going with the WW2 subtitle.

Ill be interested to see what they do.

 

[WilsonX100]

ew i'll pass. enough of this WW crap. even after the long break it's still not enough. i won't be buying another Battlefield/Cod game until they go back to modern/futuristic settings.

its been almost ten years since the last COD game set in world war 2.

Call of Duty and World War II: A Brief History

Ambitiously focusing on the importance of an entire squad of soldiers, Call of Duty’s slogan was “In war, no one fights alone.”

Hope they returned to this way of thinking while developing CODWW2, where you are just another soldier on the battlefield.

 

[Toa TAK]

It'll be refreshing to not play as Super Black Ops Tacticool Badass #5234 and go back to being a regular grunt that's just another cog in the wheel again, since that's what West and Zampella created the series for to begin with.

Fuck, yes, this! These were aspects of the series that defined Call of Duty to me.

 

[VisceralBowl]

Leave the sci-fi stuff to Star Wars.

This comment is just as bad as the one you quoted.

 

[BraXzy]

At first glance on mobile I thought it was a parody image of an old man with no teeth and all gums lol.

 

[antitrop]

its been almost ten years since the last COD game set in world war 2.

Modern/Futuristic shooters have dominated for longer than WWII shooters ever did, at his point.
