that War mode sounds like it could be like Titanfall, where you do an MP match and then have to evac if you lose or something.

Edit: or operations I guess, I didn't play BF1.

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

Exotic M1 grand incoming!

I wonder how the Cryptarch is going to look like.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Headquarters = Destiny Tower?

So war is cod's version of bf1's operations. And just say US vs Germany.

 

[The Salt Life]

Love me some WW2
I'll be storming the beach day 1.


Of course it's going to have a tower/hub city
Where else would you dance and show off dlc skins

 

[bubu]

This guys breathing is really hurting my ears.

 

[TheSkullPrince]

So this is going to only focus on the European Theatre? Dammit.

 

[Drencrom]

1944-1945 only?

America only campaign confirmed... disappointing

 

[julesodies]

"rewarding gun skill and strategy"


YES!!!!!

Lol dude, There prolly is hardly any recoil again this time and OP weapon drops in crates.

 

[BioHazard]

1944-1945 only?

America only campaign confirmed... fuck this

Also, no Pacific Theater

 

[cackhyena]

Hilarious how they try and act like they aren't reading this shit as they say it.

 

[Syntsui]

The breathing noise is unbearable, I'm done.

 

[KillerMan91]

Seems like this will be WWII America edition even more than CODs in the past. Completely ignoring Eastern Front....

 

[Icolin]

No pacific theatre battles? Goddammit.

 

[Sir Doom]

Celebs.

 

[Lavalamp1138]

Sounds like they won't really be showing/talking about multiplayer today so I'm out. The VG247 details sound exciting though. Thanks APZoneRunner for the link.

 

[Alienous]

How can he be reading a teleprompter in response to a Twitter question?

 

[N7.Angel]

99% marketing, 1% facts about the game itself might be what he means.

I mean we've heard "boots on the ground" over 10 times now. And that's enough for me, I will revisit the game during E3.

It's just PR at his worst, I really dislike that. "Biggest game ever" Best game ever made" "We're back in our roots" "Look at this" "WW2 is Awesome"...

1944-1945 only?

America only campaign confirmed... disappointing

Of course it is.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

Yurop only, which is weird as the 1st ID fought in Africa and maybe Italy as well.

 

[Cozmogramma]

Headquarters = Destiny Tower?

"A new approach to Create-a-Class"

Yes!

 

[SoundPulse]

Headquarters = Destiny Tower?

I got excited when I first read Headquarters, but it seems to just be social nonsense.

HQ was the best mode!

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

This guys breathing is really hurting my ears.

Its making it impossible for me to enjoy this at all. Cant believe this guy doesnt know how a mic works.

 

[SenseiAsad]

Commenting on mediocre live tweets. Finally this show is getting started.

'What kind of weapons will be in call of duty WWII?'. Oh I don't know, probably weapons found during WW2.

Same shit Dice pulled with Battlefield though

 

[shadow_shogun]

Hopefully it won't be a silent protagonist.

 

[Stiler]

Is this going to be like the other CoD's where enemies target your character above all the other npc's and your team mates (AI) can't hit the broad side of a barn or do 0 dmg?

Th at's one of the things I loathe about CoD, it makes the whole thing feel
"artificial" because it lessens the feeling like you're part of a squad or a "normal" person in the game and makes it feel like the entire weight of hte world is focused on you somehow.

This is something that the Brothers in Arms games did so damn well, by using a squad system and npc's that would focus at any character and not just your character and giving your ai squad the ability to actually hit/do dmg.

 

[Crooked16th]

So War is like Battlefield 1 Operations?

 

[Chubzdoomer]

Hilarious how they try and act like they aren't reading this shit as they say it.

It sounds like they rehearsed the hell out of these questions and answers.

 

[Alienous]

Hype dying.

Get these door openers off the stage.

 

[soultron]

John41241241242 asks... "How cool is your game?"

SmokeDoggIsLitFam asks "Can I extend my purchasing power with the COD WW2 Season Pass?"

 

[Bod]

CoD America saves the world

 

[Traxtech]

Been waiting for you to star in a call of duty game? come the fuck on hahaahah

 

[Ghost Lynx]

This reveal is boring as hell.

I'm happy for the devs to finally be able to show it off, but... couldn't they you know... show it off? Show gameplay, pls... A little bit would be infinitely more entertaining than them sitting around talking about it.

 

[HiiiLife]

Lame if it's only European theatre. Some of the pacific maps in WaW were the best.

 

[MilkyJoe]

Just cracked up on the train, seeing this ha ha ha

 

[TheSkullPrince]

No Pacific Theatre, no Northern Africa, no Madagascar. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[cackhyena]

It sounds like they rehearsed the hell out of these questions and answers.

It's pretty pathetic. You should know how to answer these questions, working on it this long. People see right through this.

 

[More_Badass]

yup, that phrase REALLY irks me.

just a way of saying "we'll make a simply game with no advanced gameplay movement mechanics because we failed miserably at copying Titanfall".

COD going back to WWII does actually interest me, i just don't trust it'll be anything like old COD still.

Have you never heard movies like Black Hawk Down described like that? It's often meant to indicate that the tone and style puts you in the dirt and trenches next to the soldiers, rather than glorifying and glamorizing the war violence like past war movies

Trying to spin it into a movement mechanical thing is just silly

 

[deleted]

"We want to honor our family members that were touched by the war. Lets talk about Zombies."

This kind of presentation is in bad taste I think. It's focusing on the wrong points.
It's nice that they are going back to WW2 - but don't present it like you want to pay your tribute to history.

This is no SPR or Band of Brothers, this is the Michael Bay version of that. There is no problem with making an adventurous, action driven story in WW2, but please market it accordingly.

 

[Sir Doom]

"i love this character so much. so deep."
so what is the character like
"uh...."

 

[haozz]

D-Day sequences are actually pretty rare in WWII games.

Well perhaps "nearly all" is incorrect, but D-Day was already shown in the original Call of Duty. I can also think of Medal of Honor: Allied Assault and Battlefield 1942 (from German perspective). My dislike of it is that Saving Private Ryan is the definitive fictional depiction of that day, and I don't think a FPS game can overcome that.

Come to think of it, Battlefield 1942 was pretty remarkable for portraying the global war, instead of focusing on the American POV in Western Europe.

 

[Danis Saur]

Headquarters = Destiny Tower?

I like all of this, especially the Headquarters, enjoyed it very much in Destiny.

 

[Frostman]

Dissapointed with their direction for the Campaign. So many options and they choose the most obvious and boring.

gameplay changes meant to elevate the player experience

^^ theres your first hint that "return to its roots" is strictly talking about the ww2 setting and not gameplay. id LOVE to be wrong about that though.

 

[Cozmogramma]

Lame if it's only European theatre. Some of the pacific maps in WaW were the best.

Wonder if that will be SP only. I imagine they'll have more freedom with the MP.

 

[Deckard Chapel]

This game...

I'm beyond hyped.

It's literally the WWII game I've always wanted.

 

[Boke1879]

See lots of positive responses to this on twitter

 

[Einchy]

I wish they had kept breathing guy's mic on in the backstage.

 

[Ensoul]

This is reveal is awful. Not sure why I thought it would be otherwise.

 

[julesodies]

Lame if it's only European theatre. Some of the pacific maps in WaW were the best.

There's always next year .

charlie intel says e3 for mp

The guy on the left has a great war voice.
