I have no problem with this supposedly seamless, go anywhere structure being a façade as long as it's convincingly constructed. Call of Duty is all about smoke and mirrors, and it works beautifully when you can't see where they're manipulating it.

lmao at the No Man's Sky hype men scoffing

 

[dragonflys545]

I'm not falling for it again... Black Ops 3 is absolutely the last time I will ever buy a COD game lool...

 

[Rembrandt]

Did they announce a last gen version of this?

99% sure it's not happening. maybe the multiplayer again but i think that's even unlikely.

The fact that Spec Ops never left the Modern Warfare series is possibly the biggest crime of the franchise. Best co-op mode ever.

A co-op campaign could have potential, so long as it's well designed like the Spec Ops missions, and not like the messy 4-player co-op in Black Ops 3.

Spec Ops is great. I don't get the hype around zombies when that exists.

 

[Archpath1]

Could be like an event during match incoming orbital ships
Then everyone flys up

Danger zone plays in the background

 

[Askherserenity]

What. Why wouldn't they actually show this?

 

[Darkangel]

After BLOPS3 I just want a normal campaign with cool set pieces...

 

[Neuromancer]

PSVR mode. Announce it.

Yeah!!! That would make me go from 'cautiously optimistic' to 'day zero preorder' in a moment.

What. Why wouldn't they actually show this?

Standard PR cycle. Teaser, cinematic trailer, interviews, previews with screenshots, then gameplay video. It usually works ok but I thought this was not a great trailer.

 

[Chola]

There will be one mission like that and scripted too. Just PR BS

 

[kutthoat5150]

Seamless but do we get to have control during the transition?

 

[Falchion]

Sounds pretty sweet, looking forward to this.

 

[Felipe Simao]

No Man's Duty?

 

[Alienous]

In this way, "you can be boots on ground, fighting through the streets of a city on earth, call down your Jackal, get into it, fly up through the atmosphere, engage in a dogfight over the orbit of earth, finish that dogfight, land on the deck of the carrier, get into the carrier, go up to the bridge, and order your ship to go to the next mission and all of it happens seamlessly with no loading screens."

He forgot the "but that's only one mission" disclaimer.

 

[3rdamention]

Honestly, sounds somewhat similar to what Battlefront used to be...

 

[Thewonandonly]

E3 of the shooters for sure. All ready getting titanfall 2 for sure and that will be my multiplayer game. Will get battlefield 5 only if it is set in WW1 or 2. Then I will get this if the campaign is awsome because I love most cod campaigns except BO3 which sucked :/

 

[Calibos]

So after reading this I went back and re-watched the trailer a couple times...If this is true, and what I glean from the trailer shows through in the final game, we could have a much "larger scale" CoD on our hands. The trailer really sets this up to be a more "Battlefield" style experience, which could be pretty exciting, but also a huge change for the franchise...


I am a little hyped after seeing the trailer again...But this happens every year with me.

 

[Hoje0308]

I don't believe the actual mechanics will be as free from scripting as those quotes would have you believe. Would love to be proven wrong.

Amen, glad I'm not alone on this.

 

[oneils]

Did they announce a last gen version of this?

Their support FAQ says its for ps4, X1, and PC only.

 

[bathsalts]

Sounds like gimmick that'll be hyped/marketed hard and end up being a pile of dogshit because there will be zero gameplay depth to it. Hope they surprise me, but there are a ton of better looking shooters on the horizon if they don't.

Like what?

Shadow Warrior 2
Space Hulk
Sniper 3
Rising Storm
New BF probably

Ugh, I forgot all of that is coming out. I'm excited more for BF5 and TF2. Mostly because I have no idea what they are exactly, so it's hard to be disappointed. I'll buy IW though, if only for the COD4 remaster.

 

[bathsalts]

[singhr1]

PSVR mode. Announce it.

You must be a lunatic if you would even try to play COD in VR.

 

[Bronx-Man]

If you can pilot ships in MP, I'm camping outside my Gamestop to buy this. I doubt it it'll happen though.

 

[Springy]

Shadow Warrior 2
Space Hulk
Sniper 3
Rising Storm
New BF probably

Don't forget Half-Life 3. That looks way better than this.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

I won't find any of that impressive unless that all happens in multiplayer. And I can almost guarantee that it won't.

 

[213372bu]

They've made a lot of changes since Ghost. Most notably they've hired the lead designer of The Last of Us.

Hmm, guess I'll have to look and see if it pays off.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Thankfully! I feel that was a major reason why Black Ops 3's campaign was by far the weakest in the franchise.

Uhm no.

Not the Coops fault when Treyarch didnt know what to do with the campaign...

 

[mreddie]

We'll see, COD always touts about their SP since MW3 only to be meh, BO2 is the only one that delivered.

 

[Mortemis]

Sounds awesome, but I'm not gonna hype myself up for this. Just don't think they'll deliver.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Ya know that sounds good.


Ugh they always get me.

 

[Neuromancer]

You must be a lunatic if you would even try to play COD in VR.

What about just the jet bits? Also I could handle it, I have a VR iron stomach.

 

[ScherzoPrime]

My guess is that this'll be an option in like, maybe a third to two-fifths of the missions, and it'll either be dependent on knocking out AA first or AA making flying unviable until it's dealt with.

It still sounds interesting; but then again, Bloops III's campaign sounded interesting too...

 

[Magic Mushroom]

Didn't know the lead designer of The Last of Us is working on this.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Damn shame we get customizable jets before we get customizable characters for multi

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Damn shame we get customizable jets before we get customizable characters for multi

huh?
We had that in Ghosts and AW.
BO3 did the stupid set specialists.

 

[Glowsquid]

wait, this game has flight combat??

Huh. my interest is picked.

 

[ScherzoPrime]

TBH, I'd prefer it if faction specific character models came back. Gives matches a more distinct feel.

 

[Kinyou]

Love the sound of this. I hope they make the carrier really feel like your homebase.

They do have to get proper flight combat into this game though. Not this weird jet stuff from Advanced Warfare

 

[ScherzoPrime]

Love the sound of this. I hope they make the carrier really feel like your homebase

To me it sort of sounds like Killzone 2, which always seamlessly transitioned between and cutscenes.

 

[CHC]

I really want to believe them.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

TBH, I'd prefer it if faction specific character models came back. Gives matches a more distinct feel.

Na, at worst do what ghosts did with varying camo(Ghosts get jungle on a certain map, enemies had Desert).

A co-op campaign could have potential, so long as it's well designed like the Spec Ops missions, and not like the messy 4-player co-op in Black Ops 3.

IMO it's pretty obvious it's just because Spec Ops is a lot more work intensive than a zombie/horde mode, as Spec Ops is basically a bunch of extra campaign levels. To be fair they've been putting in more work in zombie mode over time, but honestly I still don't really care for it.

 

[Bishop89]

2 things immediately came to mind.

1. This sounds like it may take a toll on the engine and i'm worried about hitting 60fps.

2. We're almost close to the robotech game we desperately need!!

 

[manny10032]

So hyped for this campaign. Sucks that MP is priority. This has so much potential.

 

[ScherzoPrime]

Speaking of Killzone, This is what I want the enemy faction to be like.

Also This.

 

[HowZatOZ]

Alright that's the kind of information I wanted to know. Good to hear its actually integrated into the game and not just one of singleplayer missions. Here is hoping its actually in the multiplayer too because that'd be awesome, almost Dust 514 style.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

huh?
We had that in Ghosts and AW.
BO3 did the stupid set specialists.

Even those were customizable.

 

[Lingitiz]

Didn't know the lead designer of The Last of Us is working on this.

Taylor Kurosaki also of Naughty Dog/Uncharted is at Infinity Ward also. They definitely staffed up big time for this game after the dust settled on the Respawn stuff.

 

[Digital-Hero]

Where can they go after this fellas? Seamless ground to space. Jeez.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Even those were customizable.

Somewhat.
1 face.
3 headgear types
2 body types
9-ish color sets total using those types.
