Man I really hope this game has some decently sized mp maps. Playing bo3/bo2, I get so sick of how small everything is. It makes predictable spawn flipping so rampant in every single match.

So you want Call of Duty to not be Call of Duty? Then why play it?
So you do care about the MP.

Well, we already know there's going to be a Co-op mode that isn't just Singleplayer with multiple people.

Sounds good to me, I just really hope it isnt fucking zombies. I don't hate the zombies mode but I'm really fed up with zombies being the coop mode in every fuckin COD game right now. It's annoying.

It'd be nice if they returned to the pre-MW1 style of gameplay: no killstreaks, perks, or attachments. Not going to happen, but it would be nice.

What makes you think it's allies? There were some axis planes flown over the beaches during d day and some air fighting.
The Jg 2 and Skg 10 were a couple that saw air combat during the landings.

I'm hoping Michael Giacchino is on composing duties. I have a positive feeling about it.
How incredibly perfect would that be?

And Black Ops I only has it in campaign (and zombies, of course), not in multiplayer like World at War.
Black Ops III had gibbing in MP, but only with specialist weapons. Same for IW, and it's less shooting off body parts and more reducing a person to a bloody puddle (or mist) in one fell swoop.
None have done it as well as in World at War, where it fit the brutal setting and made the heavier weapons feel particularly vicious.

MW2 was the funnest Duty. Then people bitched. they stripped out all the fun to make it "balanced" because bland=balanced. Preparing for massive disappointment.

I've no idea why spec ops hasn't even brought back yet, I've been craving a 4 player spec ops. If they did a 8 player spec op in the vein of Resistance 2 that'd be amazing.
Probably because overall Spec ops offers less replay value than the other modes. Once you aced all of the Spec Ops missions, there is no reason to ever play them again.

Unfortunately, Michael Giacchino hasn't done a videogame score since Turning Point: Fall of Liberty almost 10 years ago; which coincides with him winning an Oscar for Up and becoming huge in the movie industry.

That's cause activision destroyed what it was supposed to be, one of the devs talked about the plan for spec ops. It was gonna get much more added to it.
Zombies seems to be pretty likely.
That said, I think a Spec Ops mode would be fantastic for the setting.

Man, Giacchino's score for the original Medal of Honor was incredible.
They really need to give Zombies a fucking break already. It's become this bizarre, needlessly complex bullshit that's not even recognizable as COD Zombies anymore.
If there's one thing that's more tired and played out than the futuristic setting, it's the damn zombies mode -_-

I hope the game starts out with General D. Dwight Eisenhower's famous line and fades in with cold opening at Ohama Beach where you play as multiple soldiers trying to rush down the beach and everytime you get killed you'll see the name or dog-tag of the soldier you played and take control of a new one until you reached a certain Checkpoint on the beach (kinda like what BF1 did).

If they make zombies simple again, as in, World at War/BO1 simple, then I'm all for it. If not, ehhhh.

I agree...but a ton of people keep playing it. :\
I love Zombies, but damn son chill with it. I won't complain too much, but still.
I like the complexity. Had the mode stayed as simple as GAF wished it did. Zombies would have died with Black Ops. The increasing complexity added a lot more to the game mode than simple survival and fathered a strong community because of it.
Like the way people talk about it being too complex, you would think it would be dead. But zombies has stayed one of the strongest aspects of Call of Duty's population. There's a reason we're seemingly getting DLC5 that's Zombies only for Black Ops 3.

This would have been great. WW2 is the game that's going to get me back after like a decade, but if it has zombies, I'm out. That shit is so stupid.
Considering the marketing, I'm curious if Omaha is going to be a first level showstopper or sprinkled in the middle of the campaign.
I loved how in Allied Assault you were mostly doing covert missions at the beginning and then the actual landing takes you completely by surprise (Unless you've watched Saving Private Ryan of course).

It's not sad that I want the whole game to be appealing and not 2/3 of it. I don't get a discount if I never touch the co-op.
And if I'm coming to something that otherwise looks like a tasteful, classic-style WW2 game, I sure as hell don't want stupid zombie sci-fi bullshit tacked onto it. Those are two wildly different kinds of things, and I may actually hate zombies more than I like WW2.

MW2 was the most fun I ever had with the series, but it definitely was a clusterf**k at the time when compared to its recent predecessors. The game was very over-the-top and made CoD4 and WaW seem much more tame. But at this point, I'd do anything to experience that game again in its heyday.
Some other folks are corroborating seeing that description in the same topic. Those guys speculate a lot, but they aren't the kind of people to straight up lie. Plus the guy credited with finding it is a big CoD/zombies youtuber (big enough to be co-hosting the livestream tomorrow), so they'd be needlessly putting their reputation on the line.

On the subject of music, i'd really prefer something like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqONgYHYo88
However this absolutely has to return for MP
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRI9IxkvFrE
(though i'd also takeErika)
Soviet Anthem or Katyusha for the Russian faction.

Nah, not intense or extreme enough. The Call of Duty franchise is all about engaging visceral moment to moment cinematic Triple-A open world cooperative hi octane iconic preorder bonus action. Need something like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSeNSzJ2-Jw

We need something as badass as the WaW soundtrack (Russian theme)
I'd merk out and hope I get to play a saving private Ryan type story. Just an average soldier
