Me as I gaze at the teaser website's countdown

 

[gbpackers25]

Here's some Medal of Honor music to get everyone hyped

I just started Band of Brothers for the first time in anticipation of this game and the first episode was great!

 

[The Elite]

I am just happy there won't be any jet packs this year.

 

[Collateral22]

I hope this game's MP is slower paced so us older gamers can have a chance again.

it will be boots on the ground so at most ghosts style gameplay. Interesting to see if they go back to unlimited sprint or not.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

I mean, who isn't looking forward to some wall running in Stalingrad ruins?

 

[dmix90]

For those who haven't seen this in the other thread.

So hyped!!!
I wonder if there will be some type of extra VR experience like the last time. D-Day VR or some kind of model/battlefield viewer.....damn

 

[Tankard]

Haven't been excited for a COD reveal in a while, i hope it's well done and then sucessfull so we are done with the futuristic crap.

 

[Übermatik]

I want World at War style multiplayer. Was so fucking good.

 

[Auctopus]

Not expecting a campaign that surpasses COD2 but seeing WW2 in the next-generation will hopefully be worth it.

I didn't know how badly I wanted something like this until right now

 

[J-Roderton]

The wait is killing me.

 

[@ShenmueGuru]

Just over 4 hours! With E3 on the horizon, i am taking whatever hype countdowns i can get. Butter me up Sledge, butter meh up.

 

[TheVoidDragon]

Has there been anything to indicate this might have multiple perspectives like the first few games had? All the promotional stuff we've seen so far has only shown US soldiers and it says the relationship between the characters is important, i can't see that working if you switch characters at times.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I get you, I totally do. Especially after learning about the german army, their culture, and general psychology. It's fascinating and eye opening. Some of them weren't blatantly villainous, but just outstanding soldiers fighting on the wrong side.

I would love a German campaign highlighting bravery, brotherhood, and honorable soldier acts. Would be so unique and could break new ground in the historical approach.

Would highlight the travesty of war all the more.

That will never fucking happen, especially with Nazi tension rising these days. You are opening up the door for a PR nightmare.

Also if anyone's looking for some new-ish WW2 stuff to watch the 3-part documentary "Five came back" on Netflix is pretty good. It's about 5 great filmmakers and their experience in the war, presented by Spielberg, Coppola, Del Toro, Paul Greengrass and Lawrence Kasdan. It's well produced and a very interesting perspective on the conflict.

 

[Boke1879]

HYPE

 

[Skronk]

Same here but I hope they finally get some vehicle combat right in a COD game.

Yeah, still got to get around to watching it

If they did this I would laugh/cry myself to death.

 

[black070]

Infinite Warfare made me swear off day 1'ing a Call of Duty ever again.. I guess that didn't last long - I'm so hyped !

 

[PinkyMonkey]

I'm so glad the era of jumping space soldiers is finally over!

 

[Kalentan]

I'm so glad the era of jumping space soldiers is finally over!

I mean at least for now. Very likely we will still have that in 2 years time.

 

[B1gg_Randall]

I can't wait to see with Sledgehammer Games bring to this series. I love a lot of things they did with AW. I just hope skill matchmaking don't come back.. Hype!

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I'm so glad the era of jumping space soldiers is finally over!

I mean, there's two other COD devs that have their own vision for COD.

 

[Saganator]

Excited for this! The early CoD games set in WW2 were some of my favorite games back in the day, I fell off the franchise a long time ago after MW2. Would be neat if they packed in a remaster of CoD 1 and 2.

 

[Übermatik]

Same here but I hope they finally get some vehicle combat right in a COD game.

This too - it's why I'm still playing Battlefield 4.

 

[Armadilo]

Let's go

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

I mean, there's two other COD devs that have their own vision for COD.

That's the best part to me that's why I'm ok with this. Sledgehammer can do old era,Treyarch can do modern or future whatever they plan next,I don't care what infinity ward does honesty not to keen on there stuff

 

[SweetJohnnyCage]

Wish they would do "What if" scenarios.

That's the one thing missing from whenever these games do historical times.

Have you heard of Wolfenstein?

 

[HiiiLife]

Sledgehammer is the one who introduced jet packs lol. Wouldn't be surprised if they somehow shoehorned it into WW2.

 

[ResidentDante]

LMAO!

 

[Kalentan]

No please no. We don't need vehicles in CoD, keep that in Battlefield.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

Dont see this doing too well (comparatively in CoD terms). The population has been steadily decreasing with each release for the most part and I really dont see all the "kids" who make up the majority of the CoD players getting into dirt and mud and bolt action rifles when they've been used to super fast double jumps and zebra camo skins.

 

[illamap]

No please no. We don't need vehicles in CoD, keep that in Battlefield.

It would be cool if zombies was replaced by some sort of coop mode with large map warfare with vehicles.

There's probably gonna be zebra and 420 skins for your bolt-action rifles.

 

[SlimySnake]

I said this in the other thread and while I like the excitement in this thread, i remain skeptical.

In the last three years we have seen 3 futuristic CoDs with one pretty much set in space and the twitch gameplay, on the rails level design, brain dead enemy a.i have all remained the same. The best parts of Infinity warfare were the space ship battles, not the FPS combat. With them finally focusing on 'boots on the ground' gameplay again I am not convinced it will be anything more than 'Oscar Mike Ramirez to the LZ' gameplay.

I would LOVE to be proven wrong. I would love to see a true reboot. BF1 showed that just changing the setting doesnt matter, you have to put time and effort into creating a cohesive level design or you risk being just a brain dead boring shooter.

I dont want them to go full Killzone, but they have to have great enemy A.I to make every encounter challenging and lots of flanking routes instead of pushing you through a small corridor.

Otherwise, it's just going to be a skin change and didnt we already get that with CoD4 remastered last year?

Anyway, exciting times. This might be start of something special. A true next gen reboot designed with next gen ideas in mind. this could be the CoD4 of this gen. i just really hope they dont play it safe.

 

[HiiiLife]

For real lol. The kids aren't going anywhere. They'll keep flooding CoD like they have been since MW2. Who else is gonna do the 720 no scopes?

 

[Real Hero]

i just really hope they dont play it safe.

Same, i've no interest in just the typical COD experience this needs to make a big impact

 

[shanafan]

I'm so glad the era of jumping space soldiers is finally over!

Destiny 2 is calling. lol

 

[TheCanisDirus]

Oh god lol i sure hope not... i was excited for the next Sledgehammer game... more WWII was not what i was expecting

If we don't have music like this I'm going to be so disappointed. I hope we get beautiful France levels with some winter Battle of the Bulge levels too.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

Destiny 2 is calling. lol

Thank god for Destiny 2

 

[OrangeOak]

AW have one of my favorite Call of Duty campaigns. I am really curious about this one.
WWII on that engine could be really awesome. Especially since there is not much games from that era this gen.
Can't wait to see it in action.

This is pretty much exactly how I feel. Except, black ops 3 is my favorite cod since 2

Experimental Nazi jetpack available from supply drops. Time to buy those COD points.

 

[Bunta]

WW2? I'm down for that.

I recommend you books of H. Hellmut Kirst - 08/15, Officer factory in particular. If you haven't read them yet. For me they are among GOAT. Really, really worth reading.

 

[SlimySnake]

SP or MP?

Black Ops 3 MP is my favorite CoD of all time with Blops 2 being a close second. Blops 2 had awful lag and input lag and BLOPS 3 was probably the most responsive and lag free cod game ever made. The only thing i disliked was the specialist abilities but it kinda balanced the game because the really good players like me couldnt go on streaks all the time.

I played like 2 minutes of SP and never touched it again.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I sometimes have had the sudden urge to go back to Black Ops 3. Problem is that game is still expensive.

 

[Duxxy3]

Thank god for Destiny 2

It's gonna be a great fall for shooters.

Want your WWII game? Check. Want your futuristic shooter? Check. Want your Star Wars shooter? Check (and this time it won't suck).
