Yep. BO3 was awful all around.
I played almost all of them and I want WW2 to make a come back.
TBH I still go back and play Allied Assault every now and then.

I'm hoping this is the game where they dial back the set piece taking control away from the player stuff a fair bit.

I haven't seen the reveal yet but I'm going out on a limb and saying it's going to look like COD 1 with updated graphics and gameplay mechanics

Nah, I believe Zombies was good, multiplayer built on the movement system of AW and toned it down and made it fun, the single player? No idea, heard it was terrible and never touched it (and I've played every campaign since CoD 2).
I definitely am over the WW2 era of shooters since growing up that's literally all that was out other then halo. I hope the layout is like this
IW Future
Sledge Past
Treyarch Present
3 games back to back of the same era will kill it.The same fatigue that happeend with future stuff will happen with WW2 Especially WW2 because it's been done so many times.

MW2 is where it all began to crumble IMO. That mission felt so forced.

I'm pretty hyped. WW2 is still ripe with with amazing stories to tell.

I literally only play CoD for the campaigns. I've maybe spent 30m in total playing the multiplayer. The campaigns tend to be really well executed.
They've retweeted the announcement and posted about it on their Facebook page.
You do realize very few of the actual bulk of CoD players keep playing for Campaign, right?
Multiplayer-wise, IW and Sledgehammer's games have been absolute shit since 2011. Which is what everyone else but GAF cares about. Like BO3's campaign wasn't good but that doesn't it stop it from getting 7,000 players on Steam as apposed to IW's sub 2,000, or like how BO3 had maintained several hundred thousands of players on consoles, where IW is barely active in comparison.
Campaign is the most insignificant part about CoD, and that's absolutely proven by it's playerbase. And yeah, going by MP, Treyarch is the only one that makes a good multiplayer mode anymore.
This right here. It's the smartest thing to do. All the devs going back to the past or present would fucking suck. With having it as you said, would lend it to far more variety and would mean no era needs to "vanish" since none of them would be swamped.
Very true.
Very false.
Not even. I don't care for advanced booting, jetpacks, etc. movement in multiplayer, but as a sorta-Titanfall lite Black Ops 3 does it the best out of AW, BO3, and IW.
Zombies is also the best it's been, too. Infinite Warfare's zombies is decent at best but is a step below what Treyarch delivered with their season.
But yeah, there's no defending their shit campaign. That killed a lot of trust on that front.
Yep, and I hope they have some nice historical tidbits to learn about. I like when they include facts that teach you something about history in the games.
You realize what you said have no backup data and we seen a lot people in middle east alone play CoD for campaign

Not sure about the IW comments. I play IW on both PC and PS4, and the PC community is active during the day for sure. At night, different story. Don't even try to play IW DLC on PC.
But on PS4, everything is fine. Always can get into a DLC match, and popular game types. Barely active? Not at all.
Call of Duty is partnered with Playstation. Andrew House basically said that Black Ops 3 and after would all be partnered with Playstation. So until they say differently Microsoft isn't marketing Call of Duty for a while.
How many future war stuff have we had? Enough for a lifetime...

They really haven't lost my trust over the campaign. It certainly wasn't good, but it seemed like more of a misstep than them no longer knowing how to make campaigns. The focus on wider levels and co-op centric mission design is what really brought that down.

I thought the IGN GameScoop tease and Jason Schreier on GAF insinuated that this would be revealed this weekend?
It wasn't just the level design either. The character and story writing shit the bed as well.

Nah multiplayer of BO3 was better than Advanced Warfare, Infinite Warfare, Ghosts. Basically current gen COD's.
Campaign however was terrible including the Zombies.
But they are using the cliche story point of ww2 setting (from what we can see from the promo pics) normandy, d day...

I will have always have a nice soft spot for Ghosts. I really enjoyed a number of the maps in the game, and the Michael Myers perk in the Fog map was amazing. When that music kicked in.. so awesome.
Are you upset that it was revealed today instead of this weekend? Confused by your post. Or did you mean you thought there'd be a trailer this weekend?

Yeah...that was very bad. I do congratulate them on making an ending even worse than Ghosts. That was impressive.

I didn't realize people hated BLOPS 3 so much. I didn't finish the campaign but enjoyed the multiplayer. The gameplay for zombies was cool but it felt like they put so much stuff in them that it was impossible to complete. I wouldn't say it was the worse COD, though. Can't wait for WWII!
Really interested in what they do with this one. I always wondered how they'd walk it back if they ever decided to move away from the futuristic stuff. Will we still somehow have ridiculous skins and abilities? How different will the combat be now that the amount of gadgets is so in incredibly limited compared to the most recent games?
More interested in knowing this kind of stuff than actually playing the game tbh.

Didn't know it took less than a year to get a AAA game made
Haven't played COD since Blops 2. Might pick this one up if it good

The "World War 2" era was basically 1999 to 2007/2008.
We've had a longer period of time with futuristic and modern shooters. I don't understand how the WW2 fatigue can still exist!

Sledgehammer had nothing to do with MW2 IIRC. They started working on COD with MW3 - but I could be mistaken.
I mean I thought the MP and Zombies was fine but that campaign was just so bad. First CoD campaign I didn't beat the first weekend. Held it off for so long.

Swap Ghosts with Infinite Warfare for multiplayer and it's good
