Rumor: Call of Duty 2016 to Be Set in the “Very Far Future,” to Feature Space Combat

Disappointed if true . Hopefully the rumor about modern warfare 1 and 2 being preorder bonuses is true for Xbox because that's the only way I'm getting it .

Can't say i'm not surprised. These futuristic shooters are here to stay unfortunately. Call of Duty has been on a downwards trajectory for a while now. Black Ops 3 is absolute garbage so hopes for this years edition is at rock bottom.

Maybe Infinity Ward will surprise, but I doubt it.

This is the call of duty we always wanted.... Right?

Aren't ppl tired of this futuristic setting already?
Hope some other company realize that there's a market for a military shooter with a more present setting also.

Anything is better than WWII again. Some of you are probably too young to remember when no shooter ever took place past 1945. I got sick of it and I'm a WWII geek!

We had CoD and MoH games mostly set in WW2 period. These days we have much more shooters set in future or Sci-fi (Titanfall, CoD, BF, Battlefront, Overwatch, LawBreakers...).

I like the sound of this and (like I said on Facebook) if this means laser swords and ray guns, I'm all for it. :D
 
really interesting, i always thought CoD kicked Halo's ass because it was modern and 'realistic', seems weird to me that preference changed so much that they can go full future now.

I like this more than the idea of another near future game, it also signals the wise decision not to do a Ghosts 2.

Really hope they do it in old school way.
 
Can't wait for COD 2017 to be set in the so far future that the game is just a tumbleweed blowing around a destroyed earth.

Hit markers appear when it bumps into things, your killstreaks are like cockroaches and a bird that will carry you a few miles.

It'll be like katamari damacy but less exciting.

I'm fine with full future, but just don't have me fight a bunch of aliens. I don't want that in COD. Let Halo and Destiny do that.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
As long as Exos are like AW and not BLOPS3
Blops3 handles like shit compared to AW.
Or how about everyone just be normal?

Just keep getting more futuristic. No thanks
I wont consider this series again till it goes back to a modern combat. There is enough future stuff out there atm
 
I guess Treyarch's CoD is the next chance we have for a non-futuristic CoD. It's hard to imagine Sledgehammer moving away from AW since it was successful. BO3 ended in a way that would allow them to go wherever they wanted. So if they could go to a different setting if they wanted to.

I just really want to see a AAA non-modern or futuristic military shooter this gen. I don't care if it's CoD or BF. One of them needs to do it.
 
There's no quickscoping? What is this then?

Well I guess but either way I'm getting killed far less with snipers in BOIII and if I do, it's a hard scope. Quick scopers are pretty much no more for all the games I've played in BOIII (in my experience ofc), but I know others are saying the same thing. It's much more balanced than it was in Black Ops 2 which was just aim assist galore with people using the snipers are shoguns and close range weapons, out gunning SMG's before you even get a chance to shoot. It's been the most balanced IMO since sniping in Black Ops I.

I mean, they did a huge dent to it by not having aim assist while you aim with a sniper, that was a big part as to why aiming like that was bullshit.

Of course, you can still do it, but it's harder than it previously was.

Alright, think I'll just pass then. I'll buy the next CoD that's closer to Black Ops 2, modern-ish with some imagination.

Was difficult at first, but you can still quickscope fairly consistently. Just makes dragscoping a lot tougher so you have to slightly reduce your horizontal sensitivity. I find it a lot easier than Black Ops 1 pre patch.

Unfuckingreal. Every year I hope I get a cod set in the past or modern era and every year it gets more scifi. Just release a remastered world at war and cod4/mw2 because I'm sure as hell not getting a decent cod anytime soon.

I'd be quite happy with a super future setting, but the core gameplay is so far away from what I used to like..

Not been into Call of Duty since MW2. So i'm passing no matter what the next game is.
 
Praise to all that is holy that it's not likely going to be a WWI/II shooter. I'm old... i was playing all the WWII shooters for years back during the beginning of the previous generation and i'm good... dont need to play another... ever.

Far future... space... bring that shit over here. Might actually give CoD some more exciting gameplay opportunities?

Full Sci-fi would be cool and will get me interested in buying COD this year.

I hope they make some spaceship boarding combat levels that have zero-g combat.

I'm sure it's true, it's perfectly safe and unoriginal enough to be the case. Play shinobi wouldn't lie to us!

I'll probably skip / wait this year. Black Ops III was so hyped and loved in its first week so I purchased it and then regretted it immensely.

Fans: Can we go back to WWII?
Activision: THE KIDS WANT ANOTHER FUTURISTIC SHOOTER!

Not just kids, I'm 35 and want them to keep it as futuristic as possible (for movements sake).

I would love to see a SP focussed CoD set in WW2 for sure, but MP is the focus it seems, and WW2 is a bit hard to move to in terms of speed/jumping etc. Personally, a Vietnam CoD would be perfect..... story heavy, modern enough for a bit of speed.
