Can't believe people took that as a fact.
All I want to know is if its current-gen only! If not...PASS :/
You are absolutely delusional if you think it will be current gen only.
It will probably the focus but of course it's coming to last gen.

Ikr. Activision already stated that it would release on current and last but that it would be "Next-gen first".
There's this video on the CoD YouTube channel that gives you an idea of what the story will tackle. Private Military groups taking over basically. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE17D8C6O4A
Didn't they said that about Ghosts at the XB1 reveal?
It's the Game Informer cover.

I am not a call of Duty fan but that screenshot makes me excited for the game.

Of course it'll be on 360/PS3. How else would they sell 20 million+ copies?
I'm excite.
This is interesting, but makes me sad that Vice would stoop so low, they're a great news magazine that seemed to have some class and clout from being serious business only. I'd like to see them do a serious story on PMCs but this isn't the way for them to cover it, they've soiled their brand for a quick Activision payoff, oh well.

I really hope this will be better than ghosts. Wasn't this game in development since IW and sledgehammer finished MW3 (like two years ago)? If so, I hope the quality and gameplay of this game is really well done.
Curious, do you also set your expectations low on the 11th episode in the season, for an ongoing popular tv series? Say maybe Breaking Bad for example?
Jeez this game really is going to be Call of Duty: Guns of the Patriots.
That's no way comparable.

This is more like the eleventh season of a procedural.

Can't compare a tv series with a gaming franchise, can you...? Breaking Bad is laid out for a whole season + other seasons ontop. A gaming franchise like COD usually never really connects to past stories or extends a story that shouldn't have been extended with the same lame engine all over again.
If they don't change it up after close to a decade of using the same old COD4 game with different maps & stories I think a lot of people will be pissed too. Especially with the new console generations which usually means a fresh start for most franchises (engine upgrades etc.).
Hopefully a full-length documentary will come out of it. I can't imagine they "travelled the globe" for a two minute video.

If the 10th episode is as terrible as Ghosts, then yes.
Hope so. I actually don't want anyone making a Cod Wii U game other than Treyarch.

Try the 11nth season in a series and yes go visit some threads in Ot for series that went on that long like HIMYM, for exampe, and that was only 9 seasons. Chalk full of low expectations.

Is this going to be new-gen only??

I take it you're from almost any other country besides the United States right? In Mexico, as it is true in countless other places, we have the day/month/year configuration as well.
That? That's the U.S. one: month/day/year
aka. May 4th, 2014.
No, it's been stated so by Activision themselves it will also be on last gen.
Bruuuuuuuuuce!

If no truly destructible terrain, then out.
Shooting logs to make them fall in one place on the map doesn't count.

No dog, no dice.
Everything so far actually looks really cool
Half of Vice's operations are ad-related, and they've had countless advertorial documentaries before.
This is far from the grossest video game documentary thing they've down, and that honor would go to:

It can't be worse than Ghosts. You know a game is bad when even the competitive scene for it hates it.
Sledgehammer can endear themselves to the fans big time if they build on what Treyarch done with eSports and listening to the community in general.

Doubt they are going to change the formula that much and base feel will have to be the same.
Letting sales slide a little is probably more ideal than changing the foundations and loosing far more.
Would be neat if they made a leap forward though I understand fans wouldn't like that.

They are going to build on top of it most likely to get in good.
They need to do something to differential themselves tho, style wise. Either they will do the "jump the shark" moment and have some or of titanfall like combat or Treyarch will.
My guess, Treyarch
I don't know what to feel. The picture certainly makes me curious. And I quite liked Ghost but admittedly have already sold it. I don't know what to expect from Call of Duty as the last one I seriously played was Call of Duty 2.
Modern Warfare kind of lost me with all the kill streaks and I barely remember much of World at War and Black Ops.

It'd be great if they brought back hardpoint and capture the flag. And scorestreaks. And smaller maps. And league play.
Basically just undo the damage that IW did with Ghosts.

Damnit. I know the bubblewes or whatever website was a sham but I really would love to see a WWI COD. Drop the fast pace twitch and make a great game around the horrors or trench warfare and driving those completely unreliable, behemoths of tanks that were introduced. I used to enjoy the cod formula but load outs and perks along with 20 second lifespans just killed it for me.

UK here. Day/Month/Year makes infinitely more sense.

Agreed. I think there's a decent shot Wii U gets it again. But I doubt I'm in at full price this time. BO2 and Ghosts were both too heavily flawed, and both sported horrific netcode. At least Ghosts' netcode seemed to be marginally better than BO2, but it more than made up for it with the terrible map design.
