Name dropping band of brothers *kisses fingers*
If they can match even half the scale and emotional resonance of that show then I'm sold. Basically make COD2 again.

If you're talking "just fighting Nazis", Wolfenstein 3 years ago.
If you're talking actual WW2, I can't think of one since World of War 9 years ago. Sniper Elite is pretty much the only non-RTS franchise I can think off and those games, whilst decent, are the definition of mid-budget AA gaming.
Ah yeah, my memory's fuzzy.

I'm glad this is happening because it's the only way I'll be even remotely interested (but still probably not), but it's unfortunate it's happening during the c (or is it b) tier devs turn.
another developer that doesn't support ideological diversity
pre ordered just so I could cancel it.

Its too bad they will fuck it up immensely with micro transactions loot weapons and super power ups and all that other new shi
I dont know if i wish to see a ww2 cod where youre running and gunning around the map all the time
Like I want that cod4/waw feel where the game had some slow downs and when crouching and proning felt somewhat viable

They should just alternate between historical and modern. The yearly installments with only incremental changes tires people out. They could support multiplayer with DLC maps for 2 years per game so folks like you that want to stick with one era can stick with it until the next one comes out.

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.
One of the best mp maps of all time, especially when you consider 64 player servers in 2001(!). But whenever I talk about RtCW nobody knows what I'm talking about ... so there's that

I find it weird that people are complaining about this game will be an American wankfest when previous CoDs have included a Canadian and a Free Polish (!!) Campaign, not to mention the numerous times you've played as British and Russians.

Yeah I wonder what the micro transactions going to be, remember these are the guys that put in guns that did more damage and or fire rate in supply drops

Well, that's going to sell an absolute arseload.
Hopefully there's a bit more depth to the game than Battlefield 1. Also interesting to see how much they slow down the pace/rhythm of the matches - by only reverting to WW2, they still have a lot of machine gun options etc.

Nah the jetpacks can go get locked away in a closet for all I care. Bring back boots on the ground.
Stalingrad but you have to pay $$$ for the rifle and bullets or be shot by EA execs as a deserter.

Is this meant to be a serious post? Not trying to sound sarcastic at all. This is a genuine question. It's just hard to tell on the internet.
EDIT: Oh, so it's a reference?

Sledgehammer has made the only decent COD in the past 3 years to me, so I'm intrigued.
The best looking too.

You know, it's been a long time since we've had a triple A WW2 shooter. I would very much like a new FPS set in WW2, because everything nowadays is futuristic stuff.
EDIT: So I guess that's the.. point?

Is this from the studio that did ghost? If so it'd take alot of GAF praise for me to be interested

Advanced Warfare.
Then yeah, there hasn't been one for a while. When you consider just how far we've come from then in terms of graphical fidelity and presentation, even if the game just focuses on the usual suspects I cynically predicted in a previous post, it'll show something we haven't seen before. World at War was still an early 7th gen title through and through, the advancements in that gen alone would show WW2 in a new light.

Disappointed in this direction as someone who enjoyed Advanced warfare and infinite warfare. WW2 is at least a better setting than WW1 which was a ridiculous setting with it's limited weaponry. Sledgehammer did a great job on their last game so hopefully this will be good. The one good thing that may come out of this is it might give titanfall some more room in the market to shine.
You're thinking of Infinity Ward. Sledgehammer made Advanced Warfare and co-developed MW3 with IW.

I miss that game. Put in a ton of hours on it.

Oh I hope this is legit. Been too long without a good WWII game. One with current graphics would be very cool too.

should have just called it Call of Duty Two

Call of Duty II since there already was a 2.
...and then have the CoD morph into a WW.
Call of Duty One Two Switch!
I hope that the game will place a focus on the role women and minorities played in the conflict, rather than recycling the same storylines already seen in the old games. There's a real opportunity here for some unique scenarios, I'd like to see missions where you play as a female French resistance fighter, or storm the beaches of Normandy as an african american soldier in the 333rd Battalion.
Such as? Wolfenstein is 1960s with Nazis and the biggest WW2 shooter of any kind out there right now is Sniper Elite which is 1) far removed from CoD and 2) a mid-budget title with mid-budget production values and 3) isn't even first-person. The only recent WW2 FPS I can think of off the top of my head is Enemy Front which came out 3 years ago and was crap.
Seriously, I completely agree.
The weaponry will probably be limited and kind of boring but they have a lot of material to choose from when it comes to combat scenarios and set-pieces.

Well, if they make up for it in other areas like BF1. Even that game's arsenal felt pretty limited.
WW2 has a better variety of weapons, but we have seen them a lot. Hopefully they feel good to shoot.
Edit: I'm pretty torn. While the futuristic setting of COD has grown stale, Advanced Warfare was the only one that I felt was on the right track. I'd be very interested to see what they could do with another futuristic title.
This is just me guessing but I assume that with Black Ops 2 and 3 already going the way of "modern future" they want all 3 teams to do vastly different themes.
This way, there's no fear of a game getting cannibalized by another because they look the same. Advanced Warfare was fantastic but I assume that they want to see what Sledgehammer can do in a different time period, and if they absolutely nail it, they could be the "Past" developer, while Treyarch is the "Modern" developer, and Infinity Ward becomes the "Future" developer.
