Hey, looks like this'll be my first COD game in years.
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.
Same, haven't bought one since the original Black Ops.
WW2 covered most of the planet and had the only large scale combination of old school imperial warfare and modern weaponry and tactics. If it's boring to you, you've only been playing games set in the same times period and geographical area.
Besides which, there's almost no wars in the last century that had as clear cut 'bad guys' as the Nazis, and where they lost.
The closest thing would probably be the USSR fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan, in that both sides would be pretty awful, but you'd either play as the losing side or the flipping Taliban, which I can't see flying, or the Falklands War, which is far too recent, and Argentina would spit their dummy out over.
Really, I think the only reason Battlefield 1 got away with it was because WW1 is all but out or living memory, and the alt right have already started trying to glorify it in recent years. Anything more recent just risks too many controversies.

Agreed. At this moment, Sledgehammer definitely makes the best campaigns, Treyarch makes the best multiplayer, and Infinity Ward makes meh to good campaigns (IW's campaign was great, Jon Snow aside) and the shittiest multiplayer.
It's not, IW surpassed it both technically and artistically.

And also, majority of the world does not care what happened in Korea and Vietnam.
Any excitement for this is soured by their horrible microtransaction system for COD. Can't wait to see WWII soldiers running around with pirate outfits and laser rifles.
Activision lost any good will it had left when it added microtransactions to COD4 Remastered.

I'd be keen for it but the recent spate of 'pay to win' extras in recent instalments don't get me hyped for the game.
Potentially yes. If they ruled out purchasable gameplay affecting powerups and such. I'd be all in. Until then, no.

I don't think they'd do this. Maybe microtransactions of some form, but if they make WWII silly with rainbow colored camo unlocks and laser sights I think they're going to dig their own grave.
Somebody there has to be smart enough to know that stuff shouldn't be in a WWII game.

.If the mp is like World at War them I am so Down
But the COD audience loves that shit
First leaked gameplay
Yuup same here.Hey, looks like this'll be my first COD game in years.

There should be Modern Warfare 2 Remastered for us, but of course that will also be fucked with by adding guns and boxes.Meh. So it's effectively a CoD 2 remake? Not interested.
Would have rather Modern Warfare 4.

That BF1 money has them running so fucking scared
So do most other audiences, but there's a time and place for it.
Even if done right, there is about a .01% chance that this game isn't riddled with micro transactions and silly OP drops. They just can't go backwards on that, it makes no sense to do so. Unless they see MT fail in a ton of other big games, they'll be a part of CoD forever.
I want to be wrong but year after year I've been scorched
Infinite Warfare campaign was actually good.
It's just the multiplayer that allegedly sucked arse (I say allegedly because I don't play multiplayer).
The concept arts already shows men storming a beach covered in tank traps. You know it's going to hit the same tired beats of Normandy, Operation Market Garden, generic bombed out European city, generic bombed out European city with tanks, Stalingrad, maybe an Africa level or turret-shooter on a bomber/ship section.
I find the equipment used in WW2 intrinsically boring. Let's not pretend that most WW2 FPSs feeling the same is down to me not playing the "right" games.
Also, why do you need a clear-cut bad guy? Or a war that ended in total defeat? Are you unaware of all the games set in wars post-WW2?
That explains why Advanced Warfare, a game set in a completely non-existent war did so well....
I give this the toppest of keks/10

I'm aware of games featuring other real life modern conflicts, I just personally find them distasteful and don't enjoy the right wing, American centric, jingoistic nature of their narratives.
The only game along those lines I've enjoyed since 6th gen was Spec Ops: The Line infact.
Many WW2 shooters had missions on other fronts and as other allies. COD 1 and 2 had British and Soviet campaigns, COD 3 has British, French, Canadian, and PolishI have no problem with going back to WW2. I just think it'll likely follow the same American battles we've seen in every WW2 game ever. Perhaps the visual fidelity of modern consoles will improve it's looks, but I think it'll end up just feeling like what came before.
