I'm the weirdo that plays CoD for the campaigns.

This is still gonna have stupid shit like perks and killstreaks so no.
It would be fucking incredible if they got rid of that baby crap. But CoD gamers are too used to being rewarded for nothing.
I feel like people forget CoD has 3 year dev cycles now...

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Cause making a game where the US is a violent aggressor dropping chemical weapons on their under equipped enemies and raping and pillaging their ways through villages probably won't sell as well in the US:

While I'd love a Vietnam CoD (campaign could be great if they took cues from all the Vietnam movies out there), I think the main reason is because WWII is a global theater so you can get some pretty good variety in areas/scenarios. Vietnam would look pretty samey.

Oh I know! It's just that I skipped AW and (thankfully) BO3 so the last CoD game I played was Infinite Warfare. I have faith in Sledgehammer after the idea that Infinite Warfare was going to suck according to GAF was proven wrong. I enjoyed IW so I'm super hyped for my first Sledgehammer game.

I mean it's going to be the same engine Infinite Warfare was on and I don't see how the Switch could run Infinite Warfare.
Not saying a Switch version is impossible but it's extremely unlikely. If Switch keeps selling great then in say another year or 2 I could see them optimizing / changing the engine in order to make Switch versions
They did with Black Ops.
This is the first ww2 COD game since W@W, which came out 9 years ago.
It was pretty terrible after coming from COD4. The maps were too open and vehicles just don't belong in CoD.
Thankfully Treyarch made Black Ops which was far better than WaW.

I expect this as the opening mission.
This scene again... LOL. It will be interesting to see whether they go with the rehash of popular WWII scenes, let's do the same scene but from a supporting troop's PoV, OR, the ever popular, hey, here's another battle you didn't know about trope.
If it looks anything close to last year it's not gonna be on Switch or be the same version as the other 3.

As excited for this as I am, I do hope the next one is current/modern. I also hope they stay the hell away from future, though. Let other FPS games have that.

I liked AW's campaign a lot but hated the multiplayer, hopefully the change back to WW2 and removal of exo suits makes this multiplayer more enjoyable.

Yeah that's me too! That's why I didn't play Black Ops 3 after I heard about the disappointing campaign.
I rarely if ever touch multiplayer games or parts. Overwatch is the only game to have changed that.
The series pretty much abandoned it's early days after CoD4. CoD2 is the only game they give nods too.
With M40 overshadowing everything? nah....nah

About time we go back to WW2
Enough of this future crap, give me boots on the ground and a groundwar with tanks (and killstreaks turned off in that mode)

I am, too, but even then, that's still great.

It would be hilarious if they still managed to include some kind of mobility mechanic. Like Mirror's Edge wallrunning or 1945-era jet packs as a killstreak.
...so Battlefied?
I expect this as the opening mission.
Check out Medal of Honor.

This might actually bring me back to CoD. I couldn't stand the futuristic style of the newer games. I really gave advanced warfare a try but with the horrible lag and poor performance at PS4 launch it put a real bad taste in my mouth.
Hopefully they correct alot of the problems because I'd love to play this with my friends.

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
And when he gets to heavenI expect this as the opening mission.
To saint peter he will tell
One more soldier reporting, sir
I've served my time in hell
Medal of Honour Frontline opening mission was so hype back in the day.
Glenn was saying they were making one, but that they kept getting informed the war was extremely unpopular in Europe, and that this was going to be a problem.
Disappointing is too kind of a word to describe that campaign.
Never understand where this comes from. Shit was way better than Blops 3 and Ghosts. Shame the population didn't stick around

Campaign go boom is the only way to describe it.
Especially after how much they hyped it and said it was the best yet. Yikes.
That being said, IW is probably my favorite CoD campaign, followed closely by AW. Both were great.
Unknown?

One that assumes they're using the same, but modified, engine they've been using? I mean unless they completely scrap it for one that doesn't look as good.
I wouldn't say unpopular. It's more like people don't really give a fuck about it(atleast in Germany).

Yeah, the BO3 campaign was horrible. I realy loved the mp though, and in the end thats still what I play CoD for.
I wonder if this CoD will still have map packs, with Battlefront 2 moving away from them.
It'll probably have map packs though.
