RUMOR: Leaked art work suggest COD 2017 will be called Call of Duty: WWII
- Thread starter Hip Hop
- Start date
Exactly. It's been 9 years since CoD did a WW2 game. If that's all CoD does for the next 5 iterations then, surprise, people will become tired of it again.

AAA WWII, I'm in
Yep. I've purchased and played every entry in the COD series thus far, but I haven't been this eager and excited for one since MW2. Current gen WW2 battles are gonna be bonanzas for all the right reasons.

If it's classic gameplay this could be the first COD I'll buy since nearly 10 years ago.

Well, I'd actually play this Call of Duty if true.
But, the big question is, European or Pacific theatre?

I remember being one of those people.
Actually i still don't care.
Infinite warfare sp campaign was mad.
Bf1 campaign was a snoozefest.
Please be good please be good

I haven't cared about COD since they abandoned the WW2 era so this will be perfect for me.

They've honestly somehow manage to run out of American centric wars to base their games in lol.
Scale that shit down, make the AI more threatening and intelligent to the point where 1v1 shoot outs are dangerous and require skill and good reflexes. Make the environments more interactive and destructible outside of scripted events.
Get better writers for those flat as fuck characters and corny and generic action sequences where so much flash is on the screen, but nothing of consequence that carries any real weight ever transpires.
I'd love to experience another perspective other than being an unstoppable all-American badass killing machine. Having the feel of real danger and vulnerability as a solider in a war would be amazing.
I would love to see them not just make the same game for the umpteenth time with a new shiny new coat of paint.

loll they are fucking OUT of ideas.
WW2 is the subtitle? lolllll
Maybe they can decrease the multiplayer tickrate to 5 or just replace the players with bots that insta-melt you instead and save on server costs.

Make it look amazing, and give it a decent length campaign... add some paratrooper sequences and maybe a Battle of Britain sequence, and I am all the way in.

i just don't get it from Acti's perspective either. It's not like sales of the series has diminished, CoD has been selling as good as ever, with Infinite Warfare still topping the charts. so monetarily wise, why?
So what if they did some of these already ? They are obviously going to re-do some of the famous WWII events. Omaha beach landing is on the cover, for example, so we know that one is in.
I don't care that they re-do events either. I want to play these with 2017 graphics.

Extraordinarily unhappy about this.
The one thing I wanted Call of Duty to do is never ever ever go back to WW II. This will be the first CoD I hard pass since I got into the series with Modern Warfare as Battlefield One was the first Battlefield game I hard passed since I got into the series with Bad Company 1.
I don't ever want to go back :c

Call of duty has never done d-day, has it? That Medal of Honor will always stick with me because of it. Damn... add another 2017 game I'm getting.

To be fair some people complain about COD regardless, never got the hate personally and Infinite Warfare was a solid game, guess it's just the fanboys and the "it's cool to hate popular things" culture we have these days.
Will be interesting to see how this one goes down though, I just hope they take a few more risks to change up the gameplay a little, if it just plays like all the others then it will be a little disappointing.

I would say that the World War Two games in the COD series have been pretty good of having different countries in their games.
It did D-Day all the way back in 2.
I know BUT LET ME HOPE LOL

I honestly think this is a bad idea.
People want a return to WWII until they realize all the additions they've added to the systems of the game don't translate to it. Plus, Sledgehammer was the only one to really nail the jetpack movement and stuff in Advanced Warfighter, I'm bummed they won't let them expand and iterate on that.

I think they did the Omaha beach landing sequence, and Medal of Honor did the 101st Airborne drop on the morning of. But I could be wrong, it's been so many years...

Less can be more
Maybe going back to a simpler era will help the series refresh
What was the last time WWII was done on a modern budget, like a full-fledged AAA game?

Not enough people talking about how the multiplayer in this series has become an unplayable nightmare that feels worse than playing CS 1.5 over dialup while your sister is talking to her friends on the landline.
The game RUNS AT 10FPS ONLINE. Server side prediction has become server side judgement. Who knows who shot first or who aimed, who cares! HERE'S 7 bullets at once.

Point du Hoc which is a special case, and the beach part (while well done) only lasted about a minute. They could do a lot more especially with scale with today's tech.
When most think of D-Day they imagine Omaha beach in pure chaos with thousands of soldiers on it.

They're usually filtered through a Hollywood idea of war, and usually wars the US has been involved in.
Which isn't the worst thing, but the execution is always the same.

Definitely.
I still fondly remember the D-day landing in one of the Medal of Honor games on Gamecube. If they can get anywhere close to that, oh my.
This turns my stomach. Just flat out the most offensive game I've ever seen.
I can name family members that died in this conflict, wept at the pictures and accounts of the dead and maimed that experienced this hell, was taught all the horrors of it from primary school, through my whole life, it's only ever been a symbol of the folly of war, the worst, most black and shameful era of American and European history. I've been to the actual battlefields and mass graves across Europe, held the minutes silence without fail every rememberence day my entire life, for as long as I could understand the meaning of it.
There was no glory in this war. No thrilling action or daring do, no heroes and villains, this was mass murder, a scar on the history of our species, and every single person involved in it was a victim.
The entire concept of this game, makes me feel physically sick, and just so fucking angry.
How fucking dare anyone make a game like this about the Second World War.
I don't know what's worse, the sick fucking emotionless, greedy cunts that would seriously exploit this horror of an industrialised massacre, or the ignorant, soulless bastards that will give them money and enjoy it.
Anyone involved in this, or seriously think of buying this, should be ashamed of themselves.
