I would love for a return to form, yet still allow all the new stuff to exist. Personally I would love to see CoD re-do its physics/engine and emulate the CoD2 feel while still bringing something new to the table. Particularly I want instant knife kills from the front gone, replace it with weapon melees and make insta-kills from behind only.

The game looks solid, I really like all the new guns, gadgets and toys.. That said, I will be skipping this one, it still seems too familiar. Sign me up for "CoD5" whenever it comes..
 
Haven't been keeping up to date but I assume this will have dedicated servers like BLOPS did for PC players? I still play the original thanks to this - with more than enough Oceanic players staying around after MW3 went back to the dark ages of p2p.

MW2 is still the best COD.

Yep.

The HUD for this game looks fucking slick. I like it. Has it been confirmed that this game is running on the MW2 engine? Because it looks way better than the last two Treyarch CODs. I'll wait for more info before deciding on purchasing this game, of course (will be the first non-IW COD I'd even consider buying), but if I can finally get my sequel to MW2 I'll be all over this shit.

It's a modified Black Ops engine:

perfect gif. mw2 is terrible. waw was the last good cod.
 
Wow, looks NICE. The futuristic HUD and other touches are a welcome change, new weapons look fun and different. Color me pleasantly surprised.
 
Does anyone else remember the good ol' call of duty 2 days? Then call of duty 3 got announced... and vehicles were going to be in the multiplayer! Me and all my XBL buddies were thrilled, sounded awesome.. then call of duty 3 came out. Disappointment to say the least.


CoD2 still my favorite cod by far... surprisingly this black ops 2 trailer looked really nice.
 
i was watching a breakdown of the trailer, and they pointed out the possibility of no more instant knife kills. you now have to switch to knife before you can swing it. that would be so freaking good, if true.

It looks like they are using IW's latest with some refinements from Treyarch.

Just look at the sprint animation, straight out of MW3.

Hope, they are also using the IW netcode. My friends and I quit BOPs because it was shit. Countless times you jump someone from behind, empty the whole clip, only to die and watch the replay showing you character standing like a statue.

I remember the Call of Duty 2 days being full of disappointment after that failed to live up to the glory that was Call of Duty: United Offensive. UO was also the CoD to have if you wanted excellent vehicle gameplay.
 
I will say for this one though I hope they do not have chaining killstreaks, or quick scoping. Oh and the PS3 version is up to par this time, as I will be playing it on PS3.

Yeah. Same reason why I stopped playing it, too.

Black Ops 2 really looks like Halo to me for some reason. Not sure I'm digging all this modern stuff with all these made up toys. I can suspend realism for multiplayer, but some of the stuff just takes it out of military FPS' to sci-fi territory.

I am digging the colors, though. But the gun sounds and how the scopes look? Er...a bit let down by those.

Not sure If I'll be picking this up. Might have to go with Warfighter (and BF3 still) for my MP needs till BF4 hits.
 
Trailer looks great! Seems like their going all out on this one since this will be the last cod of this console generation!

This happens to me in all COD games.
 
Skipped MW3 but I think this trailer has got me back on the COD hype train. At first sight the maps shown here look a decent size with enough variety in how to get through them to make them far more enjoyable for someone like me whose twitch reactions aren't what they were.

Loved BLOPS MP and this looks like a lot of fun so far. Wonder if they'll bring back two users on one console being able to play MP as well.

Now as long as the netcode's sorted out.....
 
The only 'modern' CoD I played, was Black Ops, and I enjoyed it immensely. This looks awesome! The only thing I see that remotely bothers me, is that there is (as of the looks of it) zero recoil.

Kind of hyped!
 
Gotta say, the first area in the footage looks quite lovely. Nice and bright, clean, and vibrant. I wonder if it's PC footage, as the image has 'depth' to it not unlike what you get from SSAO.

There was an article released about how they're trying to develop a very quick, 60fps viable version of global illumination. That might be whats giving the game the graphical jump.

That's exactly what I was thinking since it looked rather good compared to the others with the depth like you mentioned, but I still imagine it was the 360 version since that's what we've come to expect by now. Maybe it's their attempt at a new technology that they've mentioned as someone said above. Either way, looks a lot better than I expected if it really is the console version.

As long as the PC version isn't an unstable mess like Black Ops, I'll enjoy this one a lot. I just hope the PC exclusive features aren't gimmicks but actually do make the game look better. They've always treated PC gamers better than IW so it's no surprise, but they just need to nail down the performance issues to completely surpass modern IW.

This is why I was questioning earlier what platform the footage could be from. I wanted to say PC but knowing that the 360 version is always showcased that might not be the case. However their is still no platform pushed in the trailers and we've had three now. Sure it was at the Microsoft E3 presentation but I thought the Microsoft deal with Activision was suppose to expire after (but included) Modern Warfare 3 and the E3 partnering could have been just for that.

They are baking in the Ambient Occlusion to the environment similar to Dragon Age Origins if I remember correctly.

I immediately thought "PC" myself, but who knows, we might be pleasantly surprised. It seems like they're able to eek a little more juice out of the console hardware with each new edition, so it seems entirely possible that we could be looking at a console version.
 
It looks... different...

After I played Battlefield 3 I hated the fast-paced gameplay of Call of Duty so I doubt I will like this. At least it looks refreshing.
 
Glad to see the dive make a return, maybe they'll let us shoot while diving this time.

Also the PS3 version had better be a decent job this time, that's a big factor.

For me it's not the fast-paced gameplay but how everything seems too "arcade-ey" for some reason. It's like everything's implemented to be as flashy as possible and to be uber-pwn l33et or something.

Then again, that might be the game's target audience so it could be me.

I like a fast-paced FPS from time to time as a good break from Battlefield's strenuous and tiring grind.

Still very much on the fence when it comes to this though.
 
I don't get it. I've stated numerous times that I don't appreciate this series, yet they continue to release them every year. I've posted about it on several forums and even YouTube comments, but the message just doesn't seem to get through! What do I have to do to get Activision to stop producing games I don't like? Maybe one more forum post will get it done.
