I realize this is the same image as the other thread, but I don't feel like making two images.

Also expect it to have all the microtransactions in the world:

Update:

On the call they just said it was gameplay roots, and said the space setting didn't resonate as well.

 

[Cess007]

WW2? I would like that

 

[Guess Who]

World War II, baby.

Likely they just mean ditching the sci-fi mobility stuff, since it's had a mixed reception among the Modern Warfare-loving crowd.

 

[iMax]

Sounds like WW2. Great news.

 

[Jarmel]

Call of Duty 4: II

 

[Theorry]

WW2 probably. Must be.

 

[sirap]

Oh no

I loved Infinite Warfare.

 

[Crossing Eden]

And thus, the shooter cycle begins anew.....

Spoiler

WW2-Vietnam-Modern Day-Scifi-Even more scifi-WW2

 

[friskykillface]

WW2, better than WW1

that will be the tag line cause they are shook of Battlefield 1

 

[SDCowboy]

Thank God. Get that jetpack future stuff and throw it in the garbage, please.

 

[Will the Thrill]

Fuck, I loved the movement in AW and hated the movement style in BO3 and IW

 

[Ray Down]

WW2 then!

Wonder if it will be Wolfenstei like?

 

[bigkrev]

so....WW2?
This is Sledgehammer's year- I thought that Advanced Warfare was well received enough to warrant a sequel

 

[PROh1bited]

Aww yiss. WW2!

 

[jelly]

WWII with the slowest tactical drops ever........

 

[Mike Double U]

I for one would entertain the idea of playing CoD again with them returning to an older time period.

 

[BizzyBum]

Makes sense. BF1 was awesome and IW was crap. Time to give the futuristic stuff a rest for a bit.

 

[Jake2by4]

Supply drops still gonna be in but lets see what SHG do.

 

[MrNelson]

Sounds good.

Can't wait for them to fuck it up with supply crates :/

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Cannot wait. WW2 here we come. Fuck the exeoskeleton crap.

 

[Adam M]

Hopefully not graphically back to the roots Would be cool to see a WW CoD again

 

[geordiemp]

With COD points and sneaked in new guns after XMAS that you have to gamble to get, Microshit RNG is here to stay.

 

[evi]

When is CoD typically revealed?

 

[Ridley327]

so....WW2?
This is Sledgehammer's year- I thought that Advanced Warfare was well received enough to warrant a sequel

Considering the three-year development cycles that the games have now, they must've read the tea leaves and determined this early on. Given the sliding popularity of the series since it went futuristic, they might have been right all along.

Of course, since the games still sell bajillions, it's all relative, but the excitement just hasn't been there for a while. A "throwback" with the kind of budget that the series gets these days could turn a lot of heads.

When is CoD typically revealed?

In May to coincide with the NBA playoff schedule.

 

[Menitta]

Everyone is excited for WW2

And I'm just sitting here wishing for AW2...

 

[Possumowner]

Awesome if true,not keen on the futuristic style of CoD

 

[Collateral22]

World War 2 yassss. No more jumping around bullshit.

 

[fluffydelusions]

When is CoD typically revealed?

E3 I think. Could be wrong.

 

[funkystudent]

Sucks since Advanced Warfare has the best Future COD.

Would have loved to see a sequel.


BLOPS3 and IW killed the near future / double jumping scene though. Too much, too soon.

 

[Bedameister]

Pls be WW2. I'd actually consider buying my first CoD game since black ops 1 then.

 

[Toni]

Wherever Battlefield goes, Call of Duty follows.

Battlefield has become the leader of console fps games.

 

[Sou Da]

People are saying WW2 but I feel they mean COD4 when speaking of roots.

 

[Takamura-San]

If WWII, is the game about sitting down and talking to the nazis?

Giving that punching, much less shooting the seems to be an issue these days.

 

[Catvoca]

With COD points and sneaked in new guns after XMAS that you have to gamble to get, Microshit RNG is here to stay.

Yep. Back to basics but with loot boxes that they say are cosmetic but then after a few months sneak in game-altering stuff like AW, Blops 3 and MW:R. On top of the expensive season pass!

 

[RedAssedApe]

Please don't be ww. I'm ok with boots on the ground and no zippig around tho

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Considering how they fucked up Modern Warfare Remastered by adding Supply Drops and new weapons there is nothing that Activision could do to get me to buy anything they publish again.

 

[jtb]

Cool, I guess.

It's kind of funny how WW2 was so oversatured that it became underused again.

 

[JetSetRadio]

MWR was the first one I bought since BO2, this sounds promising.

 

[Chris1]

Been pretty obvious they were going back to the past for a while. I think it's needed but might be a little too late to get those who quit the franchise back.

Good news though.

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

Nice, I like WW2.

 

[RoKKeR]

Please let it be WW2.

Thank you DICE for leading the way.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

That could mean anything. COD4 or WWII COD? For some people COD4 is THE root.

 

[Rodin]

Yes please. Let us play as a young Captain Price.

 

[CHC]

Without a full new engine, it's still going to suck.

The ship has long sailed on a good Call of Duty campaign unless they do a serious overhaul.

Every year it's the same thing, x amount of people say "first COD I'm buying in 10 years!" then y amount of people say "first year I'm not buying COD!" The game comes out, people say it's "actually good again" for a week, then realize that nope, it actually sucks. Then they wait for the next one and hope again that it will revive the series' relevance.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Call of Duty One

 

[Cartho]

Please be WW2 again. I want to hear the ping of an M1 Garand reload, the throaty roar of an STG 44, the tinny rat-a-tat of an MP40 and the heavy blast of a Long Lee Enfield.

I want to throw stick grenades, to throw myself into the dirt upon hearing the terrifying thunder of an MG42 opening up and to sweat bullets when a King Tiger barrels through a hedgerow.

Enough of the Sci Fi crap. Especially as they didn't even do proper Sci Fi. They just took Modern Warfare and added jet packs. It didn't seem to matter how Sci Fi they made it, you were still using bullet firing SMGs, assault rifles, sniper rifles and shotguns.

 

[Deadbeat]

Were you stationed in the nang?

 

[SolidSnakex]

When is CoD typically revealed?

April/May are its usual reveal months. IW was revealed on May 2nd.

 

[Kill3r7]

Fantastic. Although a bit surprised they abandoned AW.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Considering how they fucked up Modern Warfare Remastered by adding Supply Drops and new weapons there is nothing that Activision could do to get me to buy anything they publish again.

That's what y'all say every year
