Oh boy, just imagine BO II art and gameplay in an Oblivion universe and open-world!! Haven't played CoD since BO but would jump in immediately!

Activision feeling that Titanfall pressure.

Didn't this guy only get half of his Ghosts predictions correct? He was right about the plot, but wrong about the whole "scavenged weapons" thing, as well as the Titanfall-style before-mission multiplayer contextual cutscenes.

I think so, but I think that can be attributed to the game changing after the leak happening, rather than him simply stating false information. Unless he is a psychic, there is no way he could've guessed the plot details.
I assume he means a gun bigger in size than what you normally see in COD and physically looks like a Titanfall weapon?
I wouldn't doubt Driftor, his Ghosts leaks were pretty spot on and Activision has flown him out to preview games in the past. I really believe Sledgehammer is using him to get some early feedback
Agreed.
New, fresh Halo. Just that one Oblivion mention makes me so itchy.

Sounding more believable. I remember seeing someone on GAF name dropping 'Blacksmith' in another thread too.

There is a lot going on today. So many threads! Lol. It's good cuz it's a snow day.
TBH this is the next logical step for the universe. Maybe this will showcase some creativity in weapon design.
Wasn't Sledgehammer working on a futuristic CoD title in the third person before they were called upon to bail MW3 out?
Sadly, this is how the industry works.
Dev 1 strikes gold with an awesome WW2 FPS, every dev after that point copies it until everyone is sick of WW2 and games in that era are never made again.
Same happened to modern, present day, military combat.
Now it's future combat's turn.
Problem i find, is that despite how refreshing it would actually be to have a range of era's and themes. Developers generally won't do that. I think it's why i'm as excited as i am for Wolfenstein. It's basically pissed on all the current fads and trends in the first person shooter space and feels new again because of it. Rather then chase the success of modern military shooters or future warfare shooters. They're doing their own thing and standing out because of it. More developers need to stop following and try to actually lead.

We've all known Titanfall was coming to try to take the crown for a while, so it makes sense Activision would counter it with their own sci fi stuff. And since this would surely have a single player campaign and other non adversarial modes, it'll get my money.
That was the big rumor.

didnt vince and that leave infinity ward because activision wouldn't let them make a future warfare game, to which they now allow sledgehammer to make lol
Do not want.
Edit***
I would kill for a CoD that looked like this:
Do want!
Well I mean if he nailed the plot, it's not unbelievable something changed between when he got his information and when the game launched.

So...what does that mean for Black Ops 3?

Treyarch's next game is in 2015 anyway.So...what does that mean for Black Ops 3?

Treyarch's game is 2015.
As long as it isn't shit like Ghosts, I might be interested.
It's about time, there have been far too many "modern era" shooters this and last gen and not enough taking it further. They jumped slightly in BO2 but it wasn't enough for me, I was expecting a "Future Warfare" only a few years after Modern Warfare came out but no one did.
I posted the tweets he is talking about a couple of days ago in the Destination Playstation thread. No idea if they are legit.
I don't like making threads about random tweets from strangers, because there is a high possibility that it is bullshit. So I just post it here. Take it with a huge grain of salt.
Read from bottom to top.

I'm guessing that they simply resurrected the game, but made it first person. It sounded like it had quite a bit of work done on it before MW3 got in trouble, so this might actually be a pretty distinctive take on the franchise.
So if Infinity Ward has the somewhat apocalyptic near future, Treyarch has the slick tech-y near future, and Sledgehammer has the further future...
What about the past?
How the fuck else would you expect them to lens flare wub-wub?
The future is where it's at.

Look, they've got to do Call of Duty: Jurassic Warfare, or else EA is never going to let DICE put dinosaurs in Battlefield!

So Halo was the premier FPS, CoD comes out being more realistic (so people go play it) leaving halo because of the non-realism. now CoD is going futuristic and everyone is freaking out.
Hypocrisy.

add dinosaurs/monsters and you've got a deal.

Yeah if I recall he got some very specific things correct.
I think he leaked the name, too?
But - he said this information isn't from the Ghosts source and that it was just some random guy messaging with some assets, so him being right or wrong about Ghosts isn't going to mean anything for this info.
Yeah, this could be a pretty damn interesting take if they went back to it.
You have a point there.

Its kind of weird that this year we will see a COD made by the Dead Space devs who started the franchise and a Battlefeild game made by Dead Space devs that killed the franchise.

wants to fuck an Asian grill.
A ton of the CoD fanbase does not overlap with people who would even be interested in playing Halo.
CoD has only been semi-realistic. It's pretty arcadey in a lot of ways.
There is no hypocrisy in people being excited for this (and tbh I don't see anyone that excited yet since this isn't anything substantial like screens, trailer, or meaty info. maybe at E3)
You're dumb. People probably got sick of the sci-fi look in shooters. Then the realistic look came about. Now people are sick of the realistic look in shooters. Trends come and go. And beyond that, not everybody is into the realistic look, and not everybody is into the sci-fi look. People have varying opinions. Go figure.

Titanfall and what else? Where are these futuristic FPS?
If anything WWII and modern shooters are played out.
So, does this mean with the uptick in future settings for 1st person shooters, someone is eventually going to adapt The Forever War into a first person shooter? *shudder* I joke because I don't think it will happen, but it would be very sad if someone made the book into a bro-shooter, simply glorifying war and thus removing all meaning of the book. Hopefully common sense would prevent such a perversion. :-\
LOL
Killzone came out not too long ago. Destiny comes out this year. Prey 2 and Star Wars Battlefront are in development.
