Really surprised at the amount of people here creaming themselves and going 'omg day 1' over a leaked name. At least wait until you see gameplay.

wont have too long for that, the reveal trailer and the E3 showing

 

[AgentOtaku]

WW2 CoD developed by Sledgehammer Games?

DAY ONE!

 

[d9b]

Another microtransaction bonanza from Activision. Yay!

 

[TheLionsDen]

Love that Call of Duty is going back their tradition but the real question, will they also go back to the simplified system (3 perk slots, grenades, Primary & Secondary, attachments) of COD4 and WAW or will they stick with the complex system that I still don't fully comprehend.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Oh FFS!

I said I was done with CoD.

 

[opricnik]

I will be on board when i see gameplay, im middly interested but also middly sick of Activision treatment about Microtransactions

 

[Gamezone]

I welcome WW2 back.

 

[The_Lump]

Anyone done "Make FPS Games Great Again" yet?

[Hermii]

The last few cod games on PS4 I had this bug where the checkpoints dont save. I have to start the level from scratch everytime I boot the game up. This issue has only been with cod. No matter how cool a WW2 cod is, Im hesitant to buy it because of this.

No jetpacks, no wallrunning, no absurd killstreaks, no seeing through wall bullshit.


That's reason enough to cream myself

 

[GenericUser]

No jetpacks !!!!!!

I hope not for attachments, it was kinda stupid that you couldn't have have a grip/scope or silencers and extended Mags attached together in MW4.
More and better weapon attachments would be welcome as part of Weapon prestige as opposed to different weapon variations.

 

[ODDI]

Calling it now jetpack dlc.

 

[TheBowen]

What if it's just a remaster of all the WWII games?

Even better

 

[Daffy Duck]

No jetpacks !!!!!!

Comfirmed jetpacks

 

[fabricated backlash]

For all we know, all of this could still be in the game lol. Wall running up Omaha Beach with a Jetpack while calling in a 5 kill orbital laser strike for those sweet sweet CoD points to unlock a pink camou for your thompson red dot holo sight.

 

[Samikaze]

I really hope this boosts WWII sales again.
I want my 3rd Brothers In Arms dammit!

 

[leeh]

Whey, looks like I'm buying a CoD again. Hype.

 

[The Last Wizard]

As much as I'd love to play this the problem with cod still persists. The microtransactions bullshit, loot boxes and toxic community.

 

[Hasney]

Hopefully it's people going back in the future so I can have jetpacks and wall runs still. Somehow I think it'll be a by the numbers slow, plodding and boring war game for me.

 

[DieH@rd]

They shamelessly stole saving private Ryan screenplay or is it just me? I though these were movie stills

They are not. COD can revisit D-Day landings however they want, they only can't borrow likenesses, names and repeat EXACT image frames from the film. In effect, they can do whatever they want.

Really surprised at the amount of people here creaming themselves and going 'omg day 1' over a leaked name. At least wait until you see gameplay.

It's COD. We know what kind of gameplay it will have.

 

[Djostikk]

Seems like it won't have Russian campaign.

 

[valouris]

Plot twist, you play as axis, that alt-right market is so hot right now.

 

[ISee]

I bought the latest CoD for the SP, because of its sci fi (or rather future fantasy) setting and because it reminded me of wing commander.
If this leak is true I'm 100% not interested.

 

[SomTervo]

Plot twist, you play as axis, that alt-right market is so hot right now.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

Eh. Would rather Vietnam or Desert Storm or Korea. Places that haven't been beaten to death, but a now gen D day could be fun I guess.

 

[roytheone]

Plot twist, you play as axis, that alt-right market is so hot right now.

Honestly, I think that would be a pretty cool idea. You can show how with propaganda the Nazi regime manages to convince the German public and soldiers that they were the correct side, showing the immense power and danger of propaganda.

 

[Ocarina_117]

I'm guessing it'll be the same gameplay, twitch shooting, kill streak ridden game in a World War II skin.

 

[Calm Mind]

Reactionary, safe and boring if true.

 

[Xater]

I am still not really interested in returning to WW2. I also don't know what they could come up with to make this return interesting. If we just get the "WW2 Greatest Hits" again, no thanks.

 

[jelly]

Subtle.

Exciting but they will balls it up.

 

[Fbh]

Not interested personally.

I love BF1 and enjoy the setting but feel like one franchise going back is enough.

 

[TechOne]

Can't wait for the Mountain Dew M1 garand skins and US soldiers doing tebag emotes after winning a online match.

/s

 

[Jackpot]

Man, WW2 is so boring. It's not like there's a shortage of wars in the last 100 years for them to draw from.

 

[venom473]

I don't really care for COD multiplayer anymore, but I'm excited to see how the campaign is going to turn out.

 

[kraspkibble]

Well looks like I'm not buying it. Really can't stand world war games. Shame that Battlefield and CoD are going back to it. I guess I'll just be sticking to Battlefield 4 or Battlefront.

 

[Ragnar Blackmane]

Honestly, I think that would be a pretty cool idea. You can show how with propaganda the Nazi regime manages to convince the German public and soldiers that they were the correct side, showing the immense power and danger of propaganda.

You don't need to do that, just show that most of the German soldiers got drafted into the army against their will (you got drafted or ended up in prison/worse) and are horrified about the inhumane shit the Nazi government, some Wehrmacht units and particularly the SS are pulling.
That the majority of Germans in the army (or in general) were "brainwashed" into believing Nazi ideology is a myth, millions got drafted and refusing or deserting was not an option. More than 20k German soldiers got summarily executed or hanged for trying to return home or flee after all. Others wanted to defend their country and families, especially against the Russians/Soviets (considering the thousands of rape and looting incidents that happened in 1945 not a completely unjustified fear, even if no side were angels in the war).

Games like Company of Heroes Opposing Front have shown that it can be done.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Meh. So it's effectively a CoD 2 remake? Not interested.

Would have rather Modern Warfare 4.

 

[TheSkullPrince]

No more boost jumping, thank fucking god.

 

[Paasei]

After CoD4 the franchise hasn't been interesting anymore to me.
Especially as the PC features have been severely lacking as well.

Skeptical before seeing it myself.

Would love a German campaign to be added.

 

[Jimnymebob]

Excited for a new Sledgehammer CoD.

 

[JimiNutz]

If they make a good WWII game I will be back day one for the first time since COD 4: MW.

 

[kvn]

The circle has closed.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Much as I liked the campaign from infinite Warfare, this is the call of duty I want.

 

[FlaygletheBagel]

After the way Activision butchered MWR by patching in microtransactions, this game would need to do a lot to win me back. A WWII setting, while definitely a good decision, isn't enough to change my mind.

I skipped out on IW/MW Remastered, was it really that bad?

 

[dh4niel]

Back to WWII games. The circle begins anew.

 

[PodcastFips]

I feel like these images could be faked pretty easily.

 

[FlaygletheBagel]

I skipped out on IW/MW Remastered, was it really that bad?

It was pretty rough. MWR started off with no loot boxes, which led me to believe Activision was actually capable of releasing a faithful remaster without putting extraneous stuff into it. Then of course, loot boxes with cosmetic stuff got added to the game. And a couple months later, they went full-blown Activision and put several new guns into the loot boxes behind a paywall. Now MWR isn't so much a remaster as it is another fee-to-pay cash cow.

Definitely soured my outlook on the direction of the franchise as a whole. I know we've had microtransactions in CoD before but seeing them destroy MWR with them was plain sad.
