This is all bullshit.

Does this look like WW1 to you?

Also, don't expect a next-gen only COD until 2015 at the earliest.

Every time I see that screenshot, the guy with the beanie makes me think of Battlefield: Bad Company, and then I remember that this is CoD.

Also, a WWI game with the subtitle of "Patriots" makes zero sense to me and raises a giant red flag.

 

[Proponent]

Interesting. Sounds good. I know I'm going to be picking this up.

 

[Pociask]

I am sad that the closest we are getting to a big budget WW1 game is a fake internet rumour.

WW1 weapons would also be totally awesome. Machine guns, anti-tank rifles, bullets from standard infantry rifles that could go through brick walls a foot thick, grenades - razor wire, trench digging tools, massive artillery barrages, the birth of aerial combat and bombardment - what's not to like (for a video game)?

Just don't play any of the early battles where the British and French though it'd be a good idea to take heavily fortified positions with full frontal assaults. Read the Storm of Steel for an example of German shock troops. Alternatively, look at fronts that weren't stalemated - the Eastern Front, the battles in Africa, etc.

 

[schwabdizzle]

Kinda sounds similar to Resistance

I thought that was a little odd too.
Unless it's a Black Ops style, US intelligence angle on WW1. So in all likelihood your right, makes no sense.

 

[schaft0620]

Too good to be true

 

[Kiant]

- The main campaign is expected to last just 6 hours. However, there will be TWO Sub-Campaigns. We aren't sure what exactly this means.

I know what it means, it begins with D at the start, L in the middle and C at the end.

 

[Bandit1]

Based on the teaser image I don't believe this is true. Iraq/Afghanistan or a fictional war in the near future seems more likely.

 

[Matriox]

I would personally prefer it this way rather than their recent games. I would love it if they would go a silly route much like Farcry Blood Dragon, make it way over the top and rediculous instead of trying to be so serious..

 

[MormaPope]

WW1? Aren't the weapons going to suck shit?

The weapons aren't even the main issue.

Trench warfare was slow, filthy, drawn out, and not shoot bang at all.

World At War is one of the best COD. Behind MW1.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Alternate reality? So wolfenstein.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Sounds terrible and doesn't seem real.

 

[MacNille]

If they are going to make a WW1 game, don't bring fucking fantasy into it!

 

[Patryn]

World War 1 isn't CoD's roots. World War 2 is.

 

[MormaPope]

World At War is one of the best COD. Behind MW1.

I liked CoD4 and Black Ops 1 the most, then CoD2, then the rest all sorta get ranked randomly. World at War to me felt like a huge downgrade from CoD4 when it came to the smoothness of gunplay, map design, and killstreaks.

The best bet for CoD in the future is to make it bigger, more expansive.

 

[Tagg9]

Also, not a chance in hell it's next-gen (current-gen) only.

 

[Alec]

WW1 with fantasy elements and alternate realities?

I am certainly no fan of CoD but this sounds amazing.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Alternate reality so maybe it'll be like Wolfenstien or have fantasy steampunk guns.

If true is CoD finally jumping the shark or nuking its own fridge?

 

[iMax]

World War 1 isn't CoD's roots. World War 2 is.

They could've meant in gameplay style, but yeah, this 'article' is full of crap.

 

[Kyzer]

this rumor is weird.

CoD returns to its WWI roots ! in a game called Patriots ! that DOES INDEED HAVE A MULTIPLAYER MODE! (shh its a leak)

-no split screen.

what is this i dont even

 

[DieH@rd]

I dont think this rumor is true...

..but I would like for Acti/EA to go back to WW1/WW2 at least once during this gen with AAA game.

 

[DedValve]

No splitscreen?

 

[stryke]

It sounds all wrong but for some reason if it turned out true I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Next gen only should really push next gen adoption.

Its at the cost of the Wii, but fuck it.

 

[Jackpot]

Tales from my Bubbling Ass, amirite?

 

[MormaPope]

World War 1 isn't CoD's roots. World War 2 is.

WW2, wide array of vehicles, killstreaks go back to CoD4 simplicity, balance all the perks, huge maps, 48 vs. 48 multiplayer, weapon customization, solider customization. Basically make Battlefield 1942 for the CoD audience.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

I chuckled a little at the title, "has multiplayer" in cod???

no way

 

[DoctorPayne]

There is a 0.00% chance that Activison won't release a COD game for the last-gen consoles.

 

[iMax]

Also, Ubisoft might be a little pissed at the supposed title.

 

[Reckless Onion]

Wouldn't we normally get some kind of teaser by now??

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Shame the subtitle is not Trench Warfare. I guess the alternate history rumor will get around that little problem of WW1. So how did they manage it, no invention of barbed wire or tinned cans?

Seems like too strange a direction to be plausible.

 

[MR BLACKMAGIK]

If the Patriots title is true, I wonder if Rainbow will change it's title?

 

[zerokoolpsx]

No way its next gen only either. They would have to do a current gen unless they don't want money.

 

[takoyaki]

This sounds kinda interesting, any chance they would go the Assassins Creed route and release two different games for last/current gen?

 

[nateeasy]

No way they dont put it on 360 and PS3.

 

[CriterionDog]

Man, I love WW I history and was discussing to friends how this would be hard to pull off for Call of Duty. Prove me wrong, Sledgehammer.

But it is probably just a fake rumor.

 

[T.O.P]

Sounds damn good (last COD i played was MW2)


Hyped to hear more about this

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

I say rumor is false. Mainstream wise, this won't sell as much as a CoD set in a more modern era. Activision will never do this.

 

[Shmuely Bully]

I'd love a slower, more deliberately paced World War I shooter but unfortunately I don't think that I'm very representative of the market at large and publishers know that.

 

[Akainu]

There was a WW1? Were there nazis there too?

 

[Eusis]

PS: It's current gen. Get with the times people!

Screw that. I'll call PS3 and 360 last gen but until we're seeing PS4 and XB1 games as the standard I'm not calling this current gen. You all sound ridiculous saying it when we barely have games on the systems and too few exclusives, especially when you turn around and say you don't even have one of the systems.

... Anyways this sounds too bold for Activision. I'll wait on something more solid.

 

[Hik0boshi]

WW2, wide array of vehicles, killstreaks go back to CoD4 simplicity, balance all the perks, huge maps, 48 vs. 48 multiplayer, weapon customization, solider customization. Basically make Battlefield 1942 for the CoD audience.

Count me in!

 

[Pankratous]

World War 1? Could be the first CoD I'm ever interested in.

 

[Caffeine]

its good there is too many modern shooters now a days anyway.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

There was a WW1? Were there nazis there too?

Proto-Nazis

 

[BibiMaghoo]

No way on this earth that they do not release last gen versions of a new COD game.

Like literally, zero chance.

 

[BigTnaples]

Screw that. I'll call PS3 and 360 last gen but until we're seeing PS4 and XB1 games as the standard I'm not calling this current gen.

Don't be silky, it's not next gen anymore, as it is not what's coming next, it's what we have been playing for 6 months now.



PS4/XBO are current gen. 360/PS3 are last gen.

 

[The Last Wizard]

I really hope it isn't ww1.

 

[The Albatross]

This would definitely interest me more than a modern warfare... It would be a good challenge for the developer, how to make pre-WW2 combat engaging for the twitch shooter audience. So far, no developer (major studio, independent mod studio, etc) has really ever been able to make a pre-WW2 game compelling. Sure, there have been attempts, but none have done it really well.

I'd love to see what sort of interesting things they do with weapons.
